Zogar: This is a flavor that I do not seek out, but on occasion it can add a nice little sour.

Neru: I'm usually the source of it to be quite honest.

Aethel: Cringe is dead.

Alexandro: Cringe is an undead monster that haunts me day and night.

Teresa: Please, just, wear a mask when there's a plague. It doesn't have to be full of potpourri or have a beak, but bloody hell.

Swan: I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind-killer. Cringe is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. There where cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Veldesette: Oh god he's doing a Dune bit. I am so sorry on behalf of my cousin. 😬

BLOODBORNE OC BONUS ROUND

Nice Lady: I'm more embarrassed for myself, really.

Cruel Aristocrat: LMAO EAT SHIT YOU UNCIVILIZED HOG

Learned Youth: It's sort of an interesting phenomenon, but it makes sense evolutionarily. We see our peers making negative judgements on people who have made some sort of faux pas, we internalize those judgements in order to avoid repeating the mistakes. But it's tricky, because our peers don't necessarily judge correctly, so you really should examine what and why you're feeling whe-

it probably doesn't mean anything that my ocs can't engage in intimacy without literally wearing another person like an outfit.

it probably doesn't mean anything that my ocs who are most recognizably like myself have been actively depriving themselves of affection for centuries.

🌈 Does your OC speak more than one language? If so, how many and which? Zogar speaks Calcian, because he was raised there, and Zatagaran, spoken at home, and a few Ptolisian words just because he was friends with a Lanoist monk, and that's what they speak at temple. He picks up Nivendrian from Aethel, the vampire who turned him. He learns Old Southern Calcian from Neru, his first turn, due to his connection to original Calcian paganism. Lot of time to learn when you're dead.

Real life backstory of the name: I was playing a shitty mmo a looooong time ago and needed a cool sounding name and VampireZogar was it

In fiction backstory: He, like his father, raised horses. What he didn't know is that his father was an immortal warlord from a faroff land, now in hiding. This immortal warlord was not a vampire, and that made him especially interesting to the vampires. When they eventually found him, he was too powerful to capture alive, so they had to kill him and his wife.

Now sweet baby Zogar doesn't take too kindly to his family being murdered by an army of monsters, so he goes to his best buddy in the whole wide world, Brother Swan, because he knows that "Brother Swan" is an alias that the son of the king is using so he can practice his monastic studies in peace. "bro," he says, "there's an army of ghoul things IN THE KINGDOM right now. They killed my parents, will you swing some clout with your dad's army so I can get revenge"

"Bro, revenge is not the way," Swan says, "but spookie ghoulies is actually high key serious so yes I will go talk to my dad."

Now behind the scenes, the princess vampire Veldesette is like "holy shit Zatar of Zatagar (Zogar's dad) had a kid????? HE CAN DO THAT???? we gotta find this kid he might have inherited The Shadow of The Black Dragon (dun dun dun)"

"what the fuck?" said the king, "ghoulies? who the hell told you that?"

"my main man Zogarino" said Swan "Zogaruski. Z-money. my boi, your majesty."

"aha," said one of the king's courtiers, because he was a vampire and listening, "I fucken found that little bitch boi Zogar son of Zatar."

"hot girl 34!" said Veldesette, "seduce this guy and bring me him."

"bet," said Aethel. And she went to seduce that guy. It worked :) She did not, however, enjoy watching Science and Dark Majicks happen to her new favorite life size action figure, so, in an act of TREMENDOUS DEFIANCE to her master, she turned that guy into a fucken vampo

In busts Swan with the power of god and 100 men at arms on his side. "YOU HAVE NO POWER IN THE LIGHT OF OUR LORD!" Swan declared in fictionalized christianity. The vampires kinda cowered for a minute before Veldesette, being strong as fuck, monstered up. Swan wavered for but a moment, and that was enough to see his soldiers mauled before him.

"Get me the fuck out of here," Zogar said, "bro my tummy hurst but I am being so brave about it. bls"

"Foul creature???? you fucking tricked me into bringing these loyal few to be food for you and your yucky ghoulies??? I fell for a trap??? I hate," Swan said, "YOUUU????"

🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have? Zogar is a tallish, reasonably fit, humanoid guy, when he is a human. After becoming a vampire, he became somewhat more nebulous. Early on he is generally bound to his human form, with an emotionally driven transformation into a shadowy, winged biped, with tattered edges of material darkness. Toward his more elder vampire years, he is entirely in control of the psychic illusion that is his body, and he is as vast as anywhere he has experienced.

📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose? The inherent goodness (both in flavor and moral fiber) of the human soul.

🌳Would your OC survive for a week on their own in the wilderness? Fun question! When Zogar was a human* yeah, not particularly well, but he'd manage. As a young vampire howevever, fuck no! Manz is heavily reliant on da red stuff at this time, he's fiending hardcore, he's in a bad way about it. As a mature vamp, yea he'd go a week ez.

🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who? This fuckin guy. Zogar wants to keep tabs on the polycule at all times just in case. Like he trusts them, but if something were to happen... yaknow. but if we're getting specific probably Aethel, the one who turned him; Neru, his first turned; Alexandro, musical accompaniment; and Swan, the guy whose fault it probably is that any of them have something to worry about.
