Day 5- Coterie. Grayscale cameo profile shots of our Savannah by Night Coterie/Vehme members: Ezekiel the Tremere, Arashi the Brujah, Atlas the Hecata, and Joanna the Malkavian.
Day 6- Human. Portrait of Toji Saito: the contact/touch-stone/boyfriend(?) to our Brujah player character, Arashi. Deals in supplying, modifying, and repairing guns. He is a Japanese man with a rebelious sort of look, with slicked-back hair, facial hair, circlular sunglasses, ear piercings, multiple necklaces, a partially unbuttoned shirt, and a black leather jacket.
Day 7- Thin Blood. Tattoo designs inspired by a group of Thin Blood NPCS in our game.
From top to bottom:
Lunch- Inspired by the Zia sun from the indigenous Zia tribe in New Mexico. The sun's rays represent the balance of 4 (four cardinal directions, four seasons of the year, four times of day, and four cycles of life), while the center of the sun represents life itself.
Archie- Inspired by the concept of "Squaring the Circle": the challenge of constructing a square with the area of a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with a compass and straightedge. It serves as a metaphor for attempting to achieve the impossible, as currently the problem remains unsolvable.
Mags- Inspired by the alchemical symbol for sulfur. Sulfur, also known as the "burning stone", is one of the three primes of alchemy that material substances are composed from. It represents the essence of the soul, and what defines the principle of combustibility.
Lucy- An arangement of jasmine and lavendar flowers weaved around the logo. Jasmine flowers symbolize grace, humility, and simplicity, while lavender flowers symbolize purity, calmness, and protection.
Day 8- Sabbat. Portrait of the current Sabbat faction leader in Savannah, Novacell: the Tzimisce. He is ashy pale. His face is stangely angular with lines of decorative scarification covering his face and neck, and two horn-like lumps on top of his head just lying under the skin. A distressed/painted version of the Tzimisce logo sits behind his head.
