Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I want to play a nice Tzimisce (instead of an H. R. Giger fetishist) But I always the feeling that "having fun being nice" is fundamentally incompatible with the World of Darkness

[(Anonymous)]

lol

I mean, yeah, it pretty much is, but that's no reason that your table's version of the setting can't be different

[(Anonymous)]

If I can't escape murderhobo dickheads at the D&D table, how likely is it that I could pull it off at the VtM table?
[honestly, I'm so tired of that shit, I just want to go around helping people, not end sessions with 'and then the townspeople, very tired of your shit, team up and murder you all']

[(Anonymous)]

hahahaha I feel that

(I don't remember where but I remember someone once said that 95% of roleplaying groups end up being either murderhobos or romancehobos and I know which side of that divide I fall on lmao)

[feotakahari]

I think that’s what the high end of the Humanity meter is for.

[(Anonymous)]

But the design of the game is still going to work to undercut your ability to stay at high humanity. It's not really built around that as a long-term thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but "you're going to really have to work at it" isn't the same as "you can't do it". The monster struggling to cling to their humanity/their self-image of being a decent person is pretty much a stock VtM trope.

[anarchicq]

D'aww.

[(Anonymous)]

I just want to fleshcraft my arms longer so I can hug all my friends at once! *cries*

[anarchicq]

"You're cold? Here, take the jacket I made out of my old master."

[(Anonymous)]

"You're hurt! Let me fix that, and also install this secondary backup heart. You weren't using your appendix anyway, let's be honest..."

[anarchicq]

"I made myself a puppy dog tail because it makes people smile when I wag it and that makes me happy so my tail wags and people smile and I'M SO HAPPY!"

[(Anonymous)]

that sounds so fucking cute omg

[(Anonymous)]

Those are the blood mages right? Personally I love playing as good as I can within the forces of evil, though at the same time, I'll purposely make various characters to play each options available.

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC Tzimisce are flesh-shapers and the blood mages are Tremere.

[(Anonymous)]

da

Depending on what era you're playing in and what your house rules are, Tzimisce can be both - they were the blood mages before the Tremere became a thing.

I'd be thrilled with such a player

[(Anonymous)]

I can easily imagine a character concept for this. Perhaps a plastic surgeon who specializes in reconstructive surgery for trauma survivors gets embraced and suddenly is able to do much more for their patients.

Re: I'd be thrilled with such a player

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, this gives me an amazing idea. Have you ever seen pictures of early skin grafts, in like the 1920s? Because a lot of work was involved in making sure the skin wasn't rejected (and because the work was mostly heavy-duty reconstruction on men who'd been hit by shrapnel) it was pretty ghastly looking while in progress.
Imagine some old Tzimisce sees some of this work, and Embraces the surgeon responsible, under the impression that he's just doing terrifying things to people's faces for his own amusement. Then the surgeon finds he can reconstruct a whole lower jaw in a few hours with no surgical team, and - well, one of them's disappointed, and it's not the newbie!

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't that the point of Vampire in the first place? Striving to be a good person despite the insistence of the Beast (and the setting). I'd certainly be interested in a defected Tzimisce at my table, it's a lot more interesting than your typical Sabbat counterpart.
