Message: <blockquote data-quote="DammitVictor" data-source="post: 8173822" data-attributes="member: 6750908">I am actually babysoft on this sort of stuff, because I don't experience horror the way normal people do-- I can't enjoy getting the horror "just right" and I can't tell when I'm going too far, so I don't really aim for anything other the agony of victory and the ecstasy of defeat.Storyteller asked me to play his villain in a Werewolf: The Wyld West game so I made a BSD/Tzimisce Abomination. The PCs never encountered him outside of his immaculate homid form, or his long black fur coat, or without his ghoul kept on a leash with a silver collar. He was never cruel to his familiar... only when he spoke, softly, the ghoul flinched like he'd been whipped.The players tried to investigate where this monster had come from. They managed to make-- tense-- contact with the local pack of Black Spiral Dancers who confirmed my villain was BSD, but not theirs. He'd made overtures to them, after being Embraced, about some joint project between the Sabbat and the Black Spiral Dancers, but they weren't willing to work with him or tell the PCs why.A couple weeks later, they found out the pack had been torn to pieces and put to the torch.The BSD's Galliard, the sole survivor, tracked the PCs down and gave them a package-- told them, to their faces, his pack would be avenged one way or the other. It included some fetishes, and a handwritten journal.My villain had been born Black Spiral Dancer kinfolk, the son of the pack's alpha. A rough life under the best circumstances. The villain didn't have his First Change at puberty... or until much later... so his father considered him an embarassment and an obstacle to having a true heir. When the boy finally had his First Change at nineteen years old, he left the pack and fell afoul of the Sabbat. After several years of being a Tzimisce ghoul, he ransacked his master's lair, set it on fire, and cut his own throat with a silver knife.The elder Tzimisce attempted to Embrace my villain solely to interrogate him... but as soon as he was strong enough to change, he seized his master and Diablerized him.All of this is in his notes. He returned to his pack. His final journal entry complained that he had broken six professional baseball bats-- eight dollars each!-- to obtain enough fur for his fur coat and that his brand-new ghoul wasn't as intimidating as he remembered him.He'd left the journal behind on purpose.</blockquote>
