some clothing updates with and without cloak! we're heading to the amber temple

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

Hmm. And what if I bit you. Perchance

I have always and will continue to support vampire hunter's personal crimes and skewed ethics. Their war crimes are THEIR business. I will NOT stop at apologism, I am a defender and active promoter of vampire hunter's dubious morality. I am not better than this nor am I above things.

more ezreena thoughts

do you ever meet a woman whose expertise and existence may solve all of your problems, who is literally so strong she may be able to free you, perhaps even help you free yourself (utena music starts)

anyway. i only know as much about them as a person playing strahd for the first time could. but. They Could Be Very Good Together I Think

MEME TIME MEME TIME

can't believe ive been given (entire self imposed) the sisyphean task of having to make my own content to feed myself. what the fuck. whose idea wsa this (it was my own idea)

anyway i love both ez and roma (and every other npc) and i just think its funny that my description i will not change says that my posts are mostly going to be roma when ez is Rapidly Catching Up

Still thinking about earlier tweets. Scenes that happened between Van Richten, Roma's mentor and pseudo father figure:

Roma being brought back to life and tended to after dying

Exchanging of spells and healing/buffing during battle

Van Richten pulling Roma aside to A) break the news that he won't be here forever and B) informing Roma of his actual name all the while referring to Roma with his name rather than "boy"

Roma telling Van Richten literally everything about his life ever since he's last seen the guy

One time Roma had a screaming crying meltdown over his deal with Osybus and the whole time he was just crying about how he wants to be near VR and not Where He Was

Hunting with Van Richten one morning and asking if he can travel with VR after Barovia is over and VR begrudgingly conceding and then admitting that he has a GREENHOUSE THEY CAN VISIST!!!!!!!!!!!!

in between

Hello! I wanted to do one of those 'meet the party' introduction posts for PCs and major recurring NPCs. Info below the cut, and best viewed on a blog :D Spoilers beware!

MEET THE PARTY

Robin “Basil” Cantemir (circle of dreams druid/wood half-elf feytouched) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Dahlver-nar) Cradle-robbed (literal) and forced into fey servitude. Party dad and default party face because no one else is remotely qualified. Romantically involved with Ireena and currently has her as a tooth in his mouth. 

Ireena Kolyana (NPC) she/her STATUS: Deceased CONDITIONS: is tooth A sweetheart. Party darling and moral center before her untimely death, undeath, and disintegration. Currently brought back as a tooth in Basil’s mouth.

Vicelinus aka Vice (grave cleric/variant human aka lizard) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: none Wandering holyman and servant of the Raven Queen. Self serving coward turned reluctant protagonist. Major arsonist tendencies. Party healer and part time devout follower (sorry Raven Queen.) 

Milivoj (champion fighter/human) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Taar Haak), Dark Power (Tarakamedes) Barovian and former oniichan. Extremely normal mcnormie normalson when he’s not shaking like a frightened chihuahua or being racist against Vistani. Party tank and Basil’s figurative son. 

Roma (gloomstalker ranger/human) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Osybus) Party dog with anger issues and primary DPS. Raised by wolves and socialized via Fey and it shows. Smells awful.

Maraschino aka Elle aka Kristiana aka Twothka etc. (trickster rogue/changeling) (PC) he/him STATUS: Deceased CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Vaund) Resident carefree prettyboy, wannabe gentleman, and former face of the party. Cluelessly insensitive. Roma’s closest friend in the party before he was consumed by Vaund. Haunts the narrative.

Van Richten (NPC) he/him STATUS: Alive Tsundere old man and verified Sadgirl (TM). Roma and Ez’s mentor, and the former’s favorite person ever.

Ez (NPC) she/her STATUS: Alive  Too cool for the party. Puts “the fool” in “fools go where angels fear to tread.” Roma’s maybe friend and not-girlfriend.

Stella Wachter (Fated Ally) (NPC) she/her STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Existing (The Stella Condition) Doing bad! Keeps DDLG-ing the party and giving them psychic damage because of it. Party’s fated ally that they want to teach counterspell to so bad. 

---

Party doesn't have a group name, but the dynamic is four (formerly five) socially nerfed individuals and one (1) token girl. Practiced situation escalators. Frequent bickering and infighting due to conflicting value differences, stubborn egos, and the general stress of Barovia. Extremely rough around the edges, but through trial and error settled on a tenuous alliance and mutual understanding.
