character ramblings // angel
every time i check something related to the sabbat for ally/angel i'm reminded she isn't Officially Sabbat lol b/c i think that while our shitty st back then had some sabbat knowledge idk if he actually used the specific books for them or just went of what was in the corebooks b/c like TECHNICALLY i think you shouldn't be able to shovel an already embraced kindred, but there's a lot of shit that happened in that chronicle that shouldn't've soooooooooo we'll just tweak as necessary lol
but yeah! ally and angel are TECHNICALLY two different characters even tho i often squish them together for aesthetics or whatever. ally is just me, my fursona. angel is my self insert vampire: the masquerade pc that i've kind of used off and on for private rp stuff. they are the same, but they're not, y'know?
and outside of angel technically being false sabbat b/c she was just shoveled and never had creation/initiation rites and shit, she's BARELY sabbat outside of mostly using it to make herself seem more ~dangerous~ when necessary.
like, so, okay
rambling backstory b/c i've been piecing things together about her a bit more coherently in the last couple years lol
so angel's ORIGINAL story was that she was embraced by her kinda boyfriend at the time, then she later diablerized him and he proceeded to stick around and 'live' in her head. angel also ran with a rouge black spiral dancer and some other pc's that came and went. they were trying to save their town from this samuel haight-esque npc the storyteller was playing (like, this was his beloved oc - he was both an abomination and the first bsd?? some wild-ass shit that should've been red flags but it was literally the only wod game we had lolol) and the setting was, like our HOMETOWN, so angel has a lot of ties to the place. chronicle never really WENT anywhere or ended or anything, so i just took her and did private rp/worldbuilding stuff in roughly the same setting
so for a long time angel went on the backburner, ally was just me and sometimes i'd incorporate angel stuff into rp i was doing but it wasn't anything substantial outside of her just being a vampire sometimes, really. but over the last couple years i've been seeing them as more distinct entities in my head so i figured i may as well hash out angel's history over the last two decades lol
her sire WAS her kinda-boyfriend at the time. he was a vampire and she was aware of it but she wasn't, like, WANTING to get embraced or anything big commitment-wise. it was mostly just making out and ~necking~ and letting him feed off her kinda shit. (this varies, apparently on th i wrote that she didn't know he was a vampire until a makeout session got too spicy but i suppose she's probably a bit of an unreliable narrator, too lol. her not knowing and then eating him is PRETTY funny tho) dumb teen/early twenties/young adult stupidity. they get a little too into it one night and, boom, angel's embraced. and either she reacts badly to it or just the post-embrace hunger was TOO much and she ends up eating her bf/sire in the process
(vtm embrace process is draining the embracee and then giving them some of the embracer's blood to start the process. usually the newly embraced vampire ends up very hungry b/c of this and will need to Feed. bf didn't plan for it, didn't have anything on hand to turn that hunger towards, so he got it)
when a kindred eats their sire (drains them of blood, whatever), they've performed diablere - it's usually used to lower your generation (how close to caine you are/how strong your blood is). it leaves a black mark on your soul/aura and it's a High Crime amongst more civilized vampires.
so she's already off to a great start
she wakes up, post feeding frenzy, confused and covered in blood
(the scene in my head is either waking up next to him in the dim light of a room, waking up to go to the bathroom or something and tripping over him on the floor, or going into the bathroom and flicking the lights on to find herself covered in blood. just lots of blood lol)
it probably takes a hot minute for him to start talking in her head, but they had kind of an adversarial/light bullying each other kind of relationship anyhow so he spends a lot of time bitching either way
i have not figured out how HIS sire would react/hear/deal with this, actually. considering i had based the bf off a dude i dated/was kind of infatuated with i didn't really develop anything else there lolol
but he lives in her head a long long long long long long long time like, probably the better part of two decades before he eventually fades out (how does she feel about this?? taylor swift 'i forgot that you existed vibes'? is she kind of distraught to be alone in her brain now? does she miss the bickering? probably a little, probably a combination of things tbh)
her hometown, warren, is, at the time, a bit contested and sabbat are making a move to snatch up the dying rust belt town - lots of sad sacks for shock troops and food. in the mess she gets in with keeper (her bsd werewolf friend) dealing with this Big Bad Antagonist, she gets snatched up by the sabbat (just look, she's ALREADY tainted, why not make this fun. the camarilla isn't going to take her in, after all) and shoveled and has to deal with THAT, too. also b/c doing that to someone already embraced means you've got a level one blood bond to your captors to stabilize you once you break free of your untimely grave.
AFTER all this mess, (like,,,,, i imagine they killed the shit out of the big bad b/c he was a bad character played by a bad storyteller and i can do what i want) she bounces between warren and wherever keeper sets up shop. she rallies some other kindred in her city to help push the sabbat our and manages to, despite the diablerist mark on her, keep whatever prince in that area from coming down on her and calling a hunt. in exchange for her unlife, she kind of keeps the area balanced.
and that's.....about where things are for her, tbh
somewhere along the line she's picked up thaumaturgy as a discipline, specifically the hearth path. she uses this to protect her haven (probably only at level 2, learning level 3). this also means she probably has a tremere who's either a good friend or that she's made a deal of some sort with to learn one of their closely guarded disciplines
Hearth Path
◉◎◎◎◎ Guest's Herald: Create a small effect that goes off whenever someone passes through a entryway
◉◉◎◎◎ Master's Order: Know where all things that belong to you in your haven are located
◉◉◉◎◎ Rhyme of Discord: Anyone else who comes into your haven becomes disoriented and cannot remember what they find there
◉◉◉◉◎ Temportal: Teleport from one of your haven's doorways to another
◉◉◉◉◉ The Cauldron's Rede: Speak to items in your haven about events that have occurred there
she also knows 'illuminate the trail of prey', which is a thaumaturgical ritual
Illuminate the Trail of Prey
This ritual causes the path of the subject’s passing to glow in a manner that only the vampire can see. The tracks shine distinctly, but only to the eyes of the caster. Even airplane trajectories and animal tracks shine with unhealthy light. The ritual is nullified if the target wades through or immerses himself in water, or if he reaches the destination of his journey. The caster must burn a length of white satin ribbon that has been in her possession for at least 24 hours for this ritual to take effect.
her rough character sheet lives over on toyhouse, tho. don't want to paste it over here too lol
