An assortment of Dunmer guys I drew for fun a couple days ago, and liked enough to finish up. Featuring my Nerevarine again, Madras from Legacy of the Dragonborn, Raynes from Interesting NPCs, and good ol’ Erandur
I was busy failing school and hmm I wonder why. Like dang I can't focus on anything because of this man, it's honestly impressive but I managed to get some art done somehow-
The gays always win
VTM Character Concepts I am Compelled to Share: Malkavian Edition
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Sorry I kinda disappeared off the face of the earth (work has been wild because tis the season I guess), but a bouquet of Mlakavian ideas have bloomed from my brain and I am eager to share them with you all. As always, feel free to use any of these ideas in your campaigns, art, etc. and please do message me about what your characters are up to! Also, PLEASE be mindful that VTM is a dark game so I'd advise against engaging with some of the concepts if you are aren't in a good headspace. VTM is a game, but your mental health isn't. Please take care of yourselves ❤️
With that said, let's get into some concepts for a clan I hold very near and dear to my heart!
1. A Malkavian with severe agoraphobia, but not for the reasons you might think. You see, they are keeping themselves isolated and sticking to one place because every time they go outside, it seems like disaster strikes. Others may say its a coincidence, but this Malkavian is convinced they are a walking herald of disaster, and wants to protect those they love.
2. A Malkavian computer scientist and programmer who scoffs at those who believe in a higher power. Why? Because they are building a God via AI who will shepherd humanity and kindred into a new era .
3. A Malkavian who wakes up every night with no memory of the previous one. To combat this, they obsessively journal, take notes and photographs, and record audio diaries. So far the rest of the coterie hasn't caught on yet, but with every night things become more difficult.
4. A Malkavian who developed an incredibly intense fear of silence after encountering a complete absence of sound during their embrace. To avoid it, they always have headphones to play music on their person, and tend to do things like drum their fingers against tables to produce noise. Though this helps, it can be irritating to other kindred, and a big hindrance during espionage and infiltration missions.
5. A Malkavian who, desperate to cure their derangement, has begun hunting down and diablerizing Salubri, believing the clan of healers’s blood is the solution to all their problems.
6. A Malkavian who is nonverbal due to a fear that some of their Dominate abilities, which have been erratic and uncontrollable in the past, act up. In life they felt helpless over the fact that many things were out of their control and wished they could have things their way, but now they regret their wish with all their heart.
7. A photographer Malkavian who strongly believes in the idea that when you take someone’s picture, you capture a piece of their soul. Fascinated by the fact that the Lasombra don’t show up on cameras correctly, they are obsessed with the idea of getting a proper snapshot of one and analyzing it.
NPCs, NPCs, #NPCs. You gotta love 'em. You don't have much choice, in fact. They are quite possibly one of the very best things about #gaming, and provide seemingly endless, albeit accidental, entertainment. Walking into walls? Check. Walking into each other? Check. Running into space, for no obvious reason, drawing weapon and assuming battle stance, for no obvious reason, before withdrawing and walking in the other direction, for no obvious reason? Check. Shouting hey! watch it!/you hear that?/must be nothing.../what was that?/I thought I heard something..., unprompted? Check. Walking slowly/freezing/moving without walking/sliding around/stuck in place/floating away into the sky? Check. Crouching around from side to side for a few moments, for no obvious reason? Check. Commencing beef, battle, conflict, and general disarray with you, the protagonist, unprompted? Check, check, check. *hazardous battle music commences*
These non-playable characters are so often the accidental stars of the show, entertaining us with an all manner of unexpected behaviour, glorious glitches, and unforgettably banal dialogue. They are #NPCs, and we owe them so much.
everyone always talks about "oh I love the custom followers comments on everything!!! hehehe rumarin is so funny!! Inigo is my best friend!!! I love lucien he's such a nerd !!! " and nobody ever talks about trying to walk through a door
So if you’ve never seen my blog before hello! I’m Cal! I’m play Skyrim on the Xbox! I’ve played every single custom voiced follower on Bethesda currently, yes every single one. I’ve been thinking about posting reviews on here but I’m super nervous about it. Is that something the cvf community would be interested in seeing?
