🥃 (i think this is the right emoji) THIS ONE GOES OUT FOR ALL OF THEM BC ITS AN INTERESTING QUESTION ‼️

WHATS UP SLIME

🥃: If your OC was in this universe, what would be their favourite show/book/band/social media platform?

For Viola. . .

Viola pre-embrace was really into classic Goth music, like Bauhaus! Afer her embrace however she had a big shift in personality and traits and she'd probably prefer black metal--growling and all. Some things in common between her life and unlife though would be her love for books (she's got a collection of books on occult knowledge, gothic romance, horror and thrillers, and also issues of The Sandman comic by Neil Gaiman). She did not grow up with a computer nor a TV in her house (her neighbors had a TV but she did not really care) so I don't think she'd really be into TV nor social media.

For Art. . .

Art is very much into alt-rock (a la Incubus or APC? which is more like hard rock) and classic Pinoy rock and other tunes, like Eraserheads or APO Hiking Society. At home, he's also usually playing reggae or traditional Filipino music while painting or some shit. He is not into reading and barely has access to books but he really loved Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis," which he read as a teenager (it resonated with him being trans PLEASE). He used to be really into LiveJournal and had his own website where he'd post about his college projects and personal life--nowadays though he doesn't care for social media. If he had a computer he'd just watch YouTube rips of Jackass. His favorite shit to watch on TV was Nickelodeon and Animal Planet/National Geographic.

For Carmensita. . .

Carmensita is THE goth girl and music nerd of the group. She loves the classics, gothic rock, gothic metal, and more. If you hear some shit like "I Don't Wanna Be Me" by Type O Negative echoing through the warrens--that's how you know she's home. She hates reading long swathes of text, it's difficult for her and gives her a headache, so she doesn't read for fun... though she does ike reading blog posts and random shit people write on the Internet. She would be an avid Tumblr user I just know it. She also loved watching random bullshit on MTV; trashy reality TV is PRIME ENTERTAINMENT for her.

For Alin. . .

Alin loves house music SO much. Walking down the runway this shit is what's on her mind. She's got a nice audio setup and everything... the hybrid CD and casette tape player is her baby. This girl loves written art... she keeps many poetry books, novellas, short stories, and more in her home--most pertaining to themes of change, romance, and transness. She's also got lots of art and photography books. She would ABSOLUTELY be an Instagram user in this day and age oh my god. She also did not grow up with a computer and never had to use one until she came to the USA, but she loves being able to share her life and work with people and sees social media as a tool for this. Her favorite shit on TV would be classic Pinoy teleseryes (soap operas), public access television, world culture shows, etc.

Out of the other OCs; Booc (Tzimisce) and Buot Buktot (Baali, Viola's Sire) are kind of archaeic beings that have forgone worldly pleasures outside of carnal shit. THey would probably be into each other by the way. With Pusakal (Gangrel), although he definitely seems like something of a little vagrant who'd be into regular people shit, he's a bit of an enigma and really just prefers being a wild cat who eats people. He really actually just sleeps in trees and is small enough such that people don't really notice him up in the canopies you get me.

Viola and alin 🍋🍍 for both!!

🍋: What is your OC's most painful memory?

For Viola. . .

Can it count as a memory if she can't remember it? Either way; Viola's most painful memory would probably be her embrace in the "jungle pit" on her sire's haven grounds.

For Alin. . .

The passing of her mother is certainly something that's stuck with her; it stays with her in the back of her mind for every waking moment.

🍍: Where does your OC feel most comfortable?

For Viola. . .

Viola is someone who is almost always on the move, and she doesn't stay in specific places for long. Though she does feel very safe and comfortable around her companions (Art, Carmensita, Alin, etc.)

For Alin. . .

Alin honestly feels most comfortable in Art's weird shipping container house. It's the closest thing she has to the house she grew up in back in the Philippines. She and Art also have a little thing going on so that adds to her comfort.

the spur of the moment oc lore post

VIOLA MANAGTANEM

Viola's an Ilocano girl born and raised in Ilocos Sur. She was a very intelligent and driven woman with a keen interest in all things occult. She was also having some trouble keeping up with the demands of life in the provinces. Besides that, much of her backstory is a mystery and she can barely remember much of it either. She was embraced by her sire, Dáan Búot, when she was 26, having been beckoned to his haven in the forest while she was chasing after her dog. She belongs to clan Baali and, while she is still honing her skills in Daimonion, she is very proficient in Dark Thaumaturgy, namely the Path of the Unspoken. 

Viola is a kindred who’s usually solitary and on the move, if not accompanied by her sire, working independently as a bounty hunter for other kindred. She is also officially married in her unlife but it isn’t known to whom she’s married to.

ARTHUR DIZON

Arthur, also known as "Art," is a Filipino/Dutch guy from Santa Monica. He was an eccentric lady's man and fashion & design school student. He was also a little unstable, dealing with undiagnosed crap that haunted him every day of his life, thus he'd self-medicate with cannabis and ritalin. Entering unlife at 24, Art was embraced by a Malkavian chick he met through Craigslist, posing as a client for some artsy business endeavor Art had at the time. Art's mind is now all over the place; plagued with paranoia and visions of the future, he is usually seen lazing around half naked and high out of his mind... A means of quelling his shock at his newfound circumstances. He isn’t very good at any of his disciplines.

Art is a kindred who lives in a dilapidated trailer park with other kindred of various clans, some even clanless. He spends his days getting high and looking for clothes to recycle into new pieces, for himself and his little bummy community.

CARMENSITA DUGO

Carmensita’s another Filipino chick, though this time she hails from the PNW. She was a trad goth who loved clubbing and going to concerts despite being broke as hell and very lonely. She met her sire, Juan, in the back alley of a club she frequented while she was taking a smoke break... And the two were so totally enraptured by one another that they skipped the club, went to his place, and got down; Carmensita getting bitten in the process--she thought it was a kinky thing. She now finds community and comfort in the local Nosferatu brood, and is in love with her new look... SO macabre. She’s quite good at Obfuscate and Animalism, having taken a liking to the little sewer rats especially.

Carmensita is a kindred who lives with the local brood of Nosferatu, led by the elder Montesquieu, in a sewer network beneath Seattle. She is a spy for the brood.

ALIN DOGAN

Alin is, yet again, a Filipino chick. Born in the slums of Manila, now living in Manhattan, Alin was once a little Filipino boy who wanted to be the next Miss Universe. She adored all things feminine and was in the care of her single mother, giving her a powerful female figure to look up to in her early life. Alin would work hard to achieve her dream... sacrificing so much along the way... and though she could barely compete with cis girls for modelling jobs, she was eventually offered one by some motherfucker in the US! The guy was skeevy, however, and Alin found that she was very unhappy with her situation, but it did keep her housed and fed. She eventually meets her sire, Kilgore, at a networking event. He, too, was looking for models... and there she was. She would be trained for the next few months before her embrace, after which she was invited with open arms into a, small but popular, network of Toreador models in New York. She is quite good at Celerity and Presence, using the latter to her advantage amongst clueless kine.

Alin is a kindred who lives in relative luxury and opulence, being someone so revered for her looks... she has a lot of influence (also from using Presence). She is currently a model and artiste.
