Legacy of Dracula's Castle
BerkaZerka:
Hi all, I'm working on a CYOA game over on ChooseYourStory.com called Legacy of Dracula's Castle. It's still going to be a few miles down the road, but MadHattersDaughter has agreed to do some commission art pieces for it, which we'll be using this thread to hash out.
So here's the teaser -
It was the middle of September, in the year of Our Lord, eighteen hundred and ninety eight.
In May of the previous year, on the Eve of St. George’s day, when evil things in the world have full sway, a foreigner went up to the dread castle of the wicked Count Dracula. Whatever he witnessed there, drove him mad, for he was found wandering the streets of Klausenburg in a demented stupor two months later. Some say that he was taken to a mental asylum in Budapest; but we know nothing of how he came to be in such a state, so far from the Count’s accursed castle in Borgo Pass.
Rumors circulated that the Count had even left his castle that summer, to travel abroad, yet there remained some malevolent presence at the castle – even the Szgany gypsies, whom Dracula at times employed as retainers, fearing to venture too close.
Then came October of that same year; and with it, more foreigners. Four men and one woman arrived in Biztritz, looking for Count Dracula. There are those who say the woman accompanying them carried with her the mark of the beast. They made their way from Biztritz up to the castle in Borgo Pass and were seen again a few days later, one man short of their team, boarding the train bound for Klausenburg. It was spoken in hushed whispers, that the foreigners may have found and killed the evil Count – and that doing so, had freed the woman of the beast’s mark.
Even so, almost a year later, none dared to test the tale – for who would be foolish enough to tempt the evil that still lurked in the unholy edifice of Borgo Pass?
Such was the Legacy of Dracula’s Castle…

First Five Subjects
1. Dracula (Bella Lugosi Style)
Classic Dracula. Something easily recognizable that says, "Hey it's that Dracula Guy!"
BerkaZerka:
2. Male Bruja Vampire
This guy is a French Cuirassier. Note the breastplate, sabre, and fancy helmet. I prefer something like the closer-up pose to the right and imagine him a lot more muscular and a bit older.
BerkaZerka:
3. Female Malkavian Vampire
This vampire is batshit crazy (like Harley Quinn from Batman). She wears a lolita dress with her hair in pigtails and carries a creepy naked doll at all times. A long slender navy dirk hangs at her hip (approx 19 inches length, no sheath). I prefer the dress on the left style-wise, but include both for reference.
BerkaZerka:
4. Male Nosferatu Vampire
This vampire is seriously deformed, like Quasimodo, but with the central fangs (rather than traditional canine/cuspid fangs) - truly a sight to see! He wears a cloak and hood (for obvious reasons) and probably has bandage warps on his arms or the like. He carries a large Kukuri and doensn't seem to notice all the rats that constantly surround him.
