VC::Vampire Fighter by bsse2004

I want this video game so bad! Of course Louis’s weapon of choice is the scythe, and Armand’s is a sword. 

  • Lestat – flail and mace? lol! Maybe he can use his telepathic powers but he loses alot of energy when using them, to make it more fair play. 
  • Marius – also sword, or maybe a magical paintbrush…
  • Nicolas – magical violin attacks
  • Claudia – flower attacks, scissors, and doll pieces (@fraise-du-mal‘s idea re: the doll pieces!)
  • Gabrielle – whip or maybe her long braid
  • Santiago – also scythe

… add your own ideas!

I don’t know how many of the VC actively play video games or remember any pc games from the early to late 90s but the was a video game thriller-horror trilogy know as ‘The Gabriel Knight Mysteries’ which was heralded at its time for being the interactive equivalent of Anne Rice’s novels.

I also do not know how many of the VC fandom actively play video games, I played N64, Sega, old skool Nintendo… I stopped around Super Smash Bros. I never got into Pokemon but I hear the younger VC fandom is very nostalgic about that. 

I have never heard of this

Gabriel Knight Mysteries trilogy… I looked into it and I don’t quiiiite see the VC connection. Can you be more specific?

But yes, I’d love a VC videogame like FUCK YEAH BATTLE RUE ROYALE! I imagine it would be mostly fighting among coven members, not a game with missions, but either would be fine.

The pixellation here makes this look like a video game. Could u imagine a VC videogame??! I’m visualizing a scenario like Super Smash Bros. w/ Lestat vs. Armand… or Louis & Claudia vs.Vagabond European Vampire No. 73….

Also lots of creative murders like the Fire Gift and the Explodey-Heart-Gift on mortals. 

i’m reading the vampire armand and oh my god i just read what armand did to claudia and i’m shocked and horrified and oh my god please help me process this

This should help a bit:

[The most important thing, according to @vampiredevelopment]

Shocked and horrified would be the appropriate reactions to that scene IF we believe him about that. VC is all about unreliable narrators. Armand is telling his story to David here, trying to intimidate him. Did Armand really do it? We don’t know. If he did, could Louis really forgive him? EVER? 

… or, was Armand really trying to help her, as he claimed? “I tried to grant her fondest wish, that she should have the body of a woman, a fit shape for the tragic dimension of her soul.” -The Vampire Armand. 

Who knows?! #Your headcanon may vary.

In related info, I have only ever seen one fanart of this scene… beware, once seen cannot be unseen, but I love it bc it truly captures the moment:
