Blood of mine

master / fledgling


In most vampire media, the relationship between maker and fledglings is many things: parental, sibling, an apprenticeship, even antagonistic. Just as often, there's a romantic undertone, as well.

For what could connect anyone more than the sharing of blood, of the dark gift?

  • Thread. Use the prompts, or not.


† UNDEFINED → The nature of your bond is complex and unclear to outsiders. Perhaps even to both of you, as well.
† DYSFUNCTIONAL → There's a lot of bad blood between you, yet you can't hate each other fully.
† FORBIDDEN → Any sort of relationship beyond the vampiric-familial would be frowned upon by both human society and the underworld.
† LOVERS → Why not? No one else will understand you like they do, and you probably won't have to worry about outliving them.

[Nora is very much the type to be romantic (ish) with those she's close to, so probably something that way? I'm open to discussion though.]

[ i like the idea of them maybe having an undefined bond that is at times romantic, at times more difficult than that, and the two of them having to navigate between those waters. maybe playing a scenario where they start out having one of their more difficult moments, which blends over into romance? ]

[ohhh yes that's perfect. Are you canon-familiar with Nora or no? It doesn't really matter, I just wondered suddenly how much of her personality/backstory I need to infodump.]

[ i'm not canon-familiar at all! please infodump away. if you leave a starter, i'll get to it asap! ]

[heh okay! I... care about her more than her canon anyway, so that's perfect. Sorry it's taken a couple days to get around to this!]



[The thing about being a Chancellor of the Authority is that it means that Nora is constantly under scrutiny. She's willing and able to lie her way out of compromising circumstances, and being the lover of the lover of the person who heads up most of the inquisitions means that she's often safe (unless, of course, her lover's lover were to get upset with her); nobody knows who her father or brother are simply to save her the trouble of being judged for their potential wrongdoings.

She wouldn't want to keep Sylvie secret in the same way (she has responsibilities as a Maker, thank you!) and furthermore she wouldn't be able to (considering she turned Sylvie long after she'd already been in office) but sometimes she wishes, in a horrible dark part of her soul, that she could. Sylvie is still young, relatively speaking, and Sylvie makes wild choices. Not even bad ones, necessarily! Just ones that have repercussions, or that could if the wrong people discovered them.

This doesn't amount to anything more serious than a scolding most of the time, the Guardian snapping at her to control her child, the other Chancellors tsking and tutting and wearing their skepticism on their faces, but for all of her aloof posturing Nora is still a goody-goody at heart and she likes feeling like she's done well. This means that when she gets a talking-to, so does Sylvie.

(She has a hard time saying this, but her need to lecture does stem from concern, too. She worries about Sylvie like any Maker ought, worries that Sylvie will get herself in trouble that neither of them can charm their way out of, worries that Sylvie hasn't adapted well or is acting out.

She worries that she hasn't been able to be a good Maker, due to her responsibilities or her temperament or some unnameable other thing.)

So it's now, on the heels of such a whirlwind, that Nora waits in her quarters, idly sketching to occupy her hands as she waits for Sylvie to appear.]

[Likely everything save for Forbidden, as I'd love to play off of her nature & ability in canon to instill loyalty in those she imposes her influence on though in this case it will be through making someone her fledgeling or thrall.]

[I think he can fit for either role. I'm iffy on writing Forbidden for him so I'll opt out for now, but for Undefined: I'd definitely say he's the vampire.]

[Can be both! As master Shiki'd be the type who'd explain most things by waving hands and making sound effects. As fledgeling, he'll be a loud idiot who falls asleep 10 seconds into any kind of explanation, but has a knack for learning by observing -- also extremely loyal ....as long as you can prove that you're worth it first.]
