I’m sorry I keep disappearing, but it’s because I’ve been hard at work on my debut novel (where Cassius is the main character). A few days ago I got my commission back of one of the other main characters, Helai. Look how beautiful she is 😍 She’s a rogue and a cleric of her god and her character/culture is based loosely off of middle eastern/palestinian culture.

Snow was always a bittersweet thing for Niko. So much of his recent life has been spent avoiding it, simply because Lux was not a fan of colder weather. Yet he had spent ages among the drifts that covered his mother country, and even skating upon the thick icy river during the harsh winters. Not all of his memories were fond, and some of them had faded into near none existence.
Which is why he didn’t mind crafting fonder, new memories to carry him through the next few ages to come.
Tumblr media
Gloved hands form a loose snowball, meant to gently assault, not injure. Then with the innocent intentions of a youthful boy, Niko launched the projectile – with oddly well placed precision – directly at the back of Cassius’ head. After which he only partially hide behind a snow clad tree for tactical defense.

               THE SHADOWS OF MEMORY FADED AWAY AS A SNOWBALL made   impact   with   his   head,   good   and   true.   for   a   moment,   ire   gripped   him   with   such   STRENGTH,   it   might   have   taken   his   breath   away,   had   he   needed   to   breathe.      ❛      I will not indulge in your childish games,   ❜     he   called   out,   even   as   he   leaned   down   to   pluck   some   snow   from   the   ground.   it   molded   easily   in   his   hands   as   he   stepped   behind   his   own   tree   for   coverage.   the   other   was   quiet,   his   lack   of   heartbeat   forcing   cassius   to   use   other   means   to   track.  ❛    this is a battle you will not win.   ❜

❝         excuse  me   …         ❞       her tone is pointed, eyes darting toward the stranger who’s standing on the end of her feather boa. it dawns on her after a moment that she probably wasn’t speaking loud enough considering the volume of the music. another performer was on stage, and birdie’s act had already ended, hence the blood still covering most of her, and her costume. clearing her throat she stepped toward the stranger, “ i said excuse me, “ gripping onto the blood stained pink feathers she gave a firm tug, almost causing herself to tumble backward onto her ass. “ for christ’s sake would you move your damned foot, please! “

“A vampire is a creature in love with his own desolation. He grips what he has lost like a shield. In the labyrinths of a castle abandoned by tenderness, you can find him roaming, silent and voluptuous, head lowered, thirsting his unquenchable thirst, tormented by the memory of something that might have never happened… In eternal night, suffering can be a homeland.”
—  María Negroni, from Dark Museum (tr. Michelle Gil-Montero)

       one of the most heartbreaking things about cassius’ in game relationship with massoud is that massoud is human and as the campaign goes on, massoud gets older. I can tell that it’s starting to freak cassius out, but cassius upholds a code of honor that he will not turn anyone against their will. even though he’s only 95 years old, other vampires his age have turned several people into vampires, but cassius has yet to turn one. he fears it every time massoud nears death (there’s been a few times in the campaign where massoud was at 1 hp and it got real scary), because he won’t turn massoud unless massoud tells him to, but massoud is the first thing other than his brother that he’s ever loved, and this kind of love is something he guards fiercely. cassius loves hard, in his own little way, once he gets past the fear of being loved. i’m just emotional thinking abt it because i’ve already decided that if massoud dies, cassius will dra/cula from cas/tlevania that shit and burn everything to the ground unless someone kills him. cassius has spent a good part of his human life running, and its why he fights with a sword and a shield. he never wants to be in a situation where he can’t protect the ones he loves ever again. he wants to be the shield that protects those he cares about.

gen might be a slayer , but even she has her days off . 
today is supposed to be one of those days , but it seems life has  different plans  for the redheaded huntress . she eyes the undead , giving him an up - and - down once - over . 
“ okay , yeah . i can’t deal right now . i’ll close my eyes , count to ten , and pretend i never saw you . you can do the running away thing . ” she throws in a sardonic , overly - exaggerated wink for effect .

              CASSIUS STOOD HIS GROUND , ARMS MOVING TO CROSS   over   broad   chest.   he   was   a   monster   in   man’s   clothing,   hidden   beneath   a   glamour   so   woven   together,   only   those   strong willed   could   see   through   it.   still,   he   hadn’t   fed   in   a   while,   his   eyes   colored   with   exhaustion,   and   that   in   itself   made   it   difficult   for   him   to   maintain   the   illusion.   he   could   feel   it   scratching   the   back   of   his   throat,   begging   for   the   sweet   taste   of   human   essence.   there   were   far   more   important   matters   at   hand.
           ❛     what if I promise to be good?  ❜    a   sigh   wrangled   in   his   cheeks,   hallowed   and   low.  ❛  sorry, but running isn’t in my nature. ❜
