GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!!!!!!

happy valentines day from barovia's #1 and #2 vampirekillers

intermission ✦ izek + victor

--- ko-fi // creator commentary

have some old man with a huge wealth of multiversal knowledge and a dog doodles

Van Richten is also SOOOOOOO nice to Roma. Like stupid nice. He's so crotechy all the time and says shit like 'Perhaps you should have considered your action was really inadvisable before you doomed yourself (rubbing salt in other person's action)" or "(justifying killing an old person) It's the cycle of life for old people to die" and roma gives him ONE LOOK or complains for ONE SECOND and van richten concedes and stops.

Last session the party was like "VR please travel with us" and VR SPECIFICALLY looked at roma to check his reaction bc he clearly didnt want to stay and after roma was like (pleading) he STAYYYYEEEDDDD

the coolest girl at the party

you sound like you bite people

i can smell you through this ask

answering questions from that meme that popped out at me (aka the ones i can answer quickly)

2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept?

roma's original concept was a gentle person who desperately wanted to be loved/liked (VERY VAGUE CONCEPTUALLY) and this photo

His name used to be Amata to reflect this. Roma's current concept started with that "I was, in fact, raised by wolves" backstory snippet from DM's Guide, and that's still currently one of the cruxes of his character.

4. what one person, place, or thing do they love more than anything else?

van wicky c:

7. there’s a magic item (or technological innovation, or special resource) made just for them—what is it?

a pouch that dispenses little trinkets that he can give away, usually nature-y things or sparkly trinkets... things fey generally like

8. what songs remind you of them? if there are specific lyrics or movements, list ‘em!

this section from phoebe bridgers' graceland too

and that era of really high energy petty early 00s pop punk, paramore's misery business and olivia rodrigo's good 4 u type vibes

13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time?

Deep forest greens (intentional), shadows intentionally and also unintentionally thru campaign events, pinecones and pine trees (unintentional)

20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.

i described roma's type to a friend of mine and they said "so someone who looks like they'd survive natural selection?" and that's pretty much it

23. in what moment did they consider themselves to be “grown up”?

When he could keep up with pack hunts without physically struggling. When he got taller.

24. are they close to any family members?

He was actually very close to his (dog) mom and pretty close with the rest of his (dog) family.

29. what feelings do they internalize?

Pain! Mostly physical, but on the occasions he can't dispel it mental as well. He's pretty good at hiding it in that, wild animals hiding their wounds way

35. when did they feel loneliest?

Dying after Strahd killed him, and having to broker a deal with Osybus to live again.

39. are they insecure about their appearance? how about their personality? what aspects specifically worry them?

Not normally (at least not for long) but currently their biggest worry is that Osybus is going to change Roma into someone he currently would hate, but after transformation he simply wouldn't realize.

Generally, he is worried about coming to hate the people he currently likes, because the deal he has with Osybus seems to mean that every time he makes a wish in the future it'll continuously change Roma as he knows himself until unrecognizable

48. do they relate to anyone in their group? conversely, which person do they relate to the least?

In the party, when they were still around Roma connected with Elle the most, and for the most part Roma's felt fundamentally opposed to Vice.

52. how would they dress themselves up for a formal event?

Unfortunately they wouldn't go to a formal event ): But I imagine if they went they'd dress in a simple black linen dress, square shaped neckline, narrow sleeves that go over his knuckles, and a Really bushy flower crown made of pine leaves and smaller pinecones. Pine perfume. Barefoot.

53. do they keep their plans close to their chest?

No, he infodumps if people care to ask

56. who would they trust with their life, unequivocally?

van wicky

58. how often do they swear? do they mind when others swear?

Doesn't swear, doesn't mind if others do though!

63. what’s a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them?

IVE ONLY BEEN SCROLLING TWIT IDLY FOR AN HOUR AND IM ALREADY LOCKED OUT THIS IS SOOO FUNNY? Anyway I don't think it'd be bad to talk here more (since I already blast out my thoughts on twitter) but I'm not used to the long format of tumblr so that may take some time to get used to (thinky emoji)

it’s psychological horror to YOU. to me it’s a romcom

hello below this cut is me rambling abt ez design (and also i wanted to put a pic of her side by side w the official art :^) <-- person who likes matchy things)

I love looking at her

IM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAID I TOOK REALLY BIG ARTISTIC LIBERTIES WITH HER (in the name of enjoying her design) BUT I still tried to keep the spirit of it while incorporating the traits our ez has

Because I messed with her shapes so much, I tried to make her "recognizable" by making sure the colors were more or less a lateral match, especially the pants. If I had to go back and try again, I think the next time around I would try harder to keep her hair baubles (I've seen some REALLY good solves with them on other ez fanarts) and generally consider adding more vistani elements--tho in game her actual relationship with her own heritage is still under question LOL Among the things I like, I think the design I made is fun draw!! I think it's easy to remember!!! I like that her face silhouette is a cat!!! I also think I made her pretty while keeping her distinctive and remix-able :^) lov ez
