Newest edition of Blades in the Dark made some drastic changes to the character class I’ve been playing, so I used the opportunity to role up another character.
This is Demeter the vampire.
I watched John Wick the week previous and the Marilyn Manson song had me in an obviously Manson mood when I started drawing this. :p
Character sheet after the break.
Name: Demeter
Playbook: Vampire, previously a Cutter
Look: Normal form (man, piercing eyes, short cloak, animal magnetism). Bestial form (gaunt, long-limbed, eyes like void, vast gaping rib-cage).
Heritage: Akoros (Native son, relation of the Scurlock family)
Background: Underworld (Professional convict)
Friend: Marlane (pugilist, boxing coach). Gritty ex-soldier who trains fighters for illegal boxing matches. Rumored to have a ghost arm in place of his missing limb. Usually has knowledge of any violence-for-profit happening in the city.
Rival: Grace (extortionist, fortune teller). Withered old crone who poses as a fortune teller. Her knack enables her to literally read people’s life lines. She’s got dirt on everyone and frequently uses it for blackmail or sale. She’s got hooks in Demeter’s past.

Stricture
Bestial: When you suffer physical harm or overindulge your vice, your body twists into a horrific bestial form until you next feed without overindulging.
