I love/hate how "why don't we just say eating instead of feeding" is actually a pretty sensible observation. The way I see Malks is that all of them, in some way, see *too much* even if they don't always understand what they see
I reckon it's because it's technically incorrect, even if the term has utility when in mortal or mixed company. You are not feeding yourself, you are feeding your beast. Of course, some consider those one in the same but most of us want to keep that *thing* as far from our minds as possible.
As a storyteller for vtm I love playing as the malks. They give you so much freedom in the horror you can portray. But as a player clan they can be difficult to manage for a storyteller at least in my experience.
As it stated in the Malkva's clan book, you have those who are completely .. normal, till they are not. As for the player core book, the picture of the Malkva with the fish up against their face doesn't help the clan image.
I think no matter how the character is, as a storyteller we have an know the psychic information they get in touch with. In this way, almost every player with a Malkav can be guided into play.
I don’t know if you’ve read up on schizophrenia or it’s symptoms, but your first few minutes really nailed auditory hallucinations. It’s not always disturbing, not always evil, not always loud, but it always IS. The only medicine I’ve found is keeping my ears busy.
A lot of depictions of schizophrenia also forget to demonstrate paranoia. I've had nights where I genuinely believed my entire family wanted to murder me.
I really like how you voice act the character. I think it's the first time it has grasped my attention this much that I actually enjoy the character you play.
In my current Victorian campaign, a Malkavian Methuselah is instrumental in keeping the peace in a relatively large geographical area (unbeknownst to even the Ventrue Prince of her city). But true to her Clan, it is unclear how and why she would do such a thing. One of the Malkav player characters is unknowingly a scion of her ancient bloodline.
Honesty this one of the MOST hardest clans to play as! I can happily say that I share it to very dear friend of mine who love this clan! She loved it! Thank you!!
I played a malkavian that was a serial killer before he was turned. So when he became a vamp he gained the ability to hear the people he killed and it sort of influenced the things he did. Think Deadpool with fangs . It threw my group for a loop when he would out of nowhere say some very intelligent piece of information and then slap a rubber glove over his head and start reciting modern major general. My dm actually told me at one point they wished I would let loose a bit more and give into his derangement.
Some people portray malkavians as almost or completely insane like in the classic vtm, which some are, but I like to think that different malkavians have different levels of insanity. Some are absolutely nuts and some are a bit crazy, while others are in between. I also like thinking of them having varying types of insanity. Some may have multiple personalities while some may talk to trees. Malkavains are so complex to me because malkavians don't have to show they are insane, insanity is first and foremost, mental. A Cainite may be close friends with another cainite and never know that they are a malkavian because they don't show their insanity physically. I've always wanted to see a malkavian that has an insatiable hunger for death and destruction or something like that, but never or rarely shows it. It just seems like an interesting idea to me.
the books state that, the older a malkavian is, the worse it gets. So the elders are pretty much doomed to a fairly severe degree of " insanity"(I simply use that word to encompass all the potential illnesses, they can have, since we don't have time to list every type) but the younger ones might not even seem that insane.
I personally found Malkavians that are portrayed by their players as completely insane lunatics to be the most boring ones. Sure, you can do that, but it also robs the character of almost all possible facettes a Malk can and should have.
I hope we get videos on how to play caitiffs and thin bloods in the future in fact I would love videos talking about caitiffs and thin bloods in general.
I have been playing a malk for a short while now. For the most part I play her as a normal night nurse turned vampire but adding that little bit of stilted and deliberate movements and either making no eye contact or way too much eye contact can go surprisingly far.
Never played a Malkavian before. But, I played a Brujah who was more or less adopted by Malkavians. My elders in the Clan were too busy for the neonate. So my group I ran with in the LARP was myself and three Malkavians. I always enjoyed the antics we got up too.
Proposal: Conspiracy theorist Malkavian who, in the course of attempting to understand and contextualize their madness, has started looking for evidence of what their inner voices and instincts are telling them. Scary part, they're far, far too frequently right. Edit: They are a detective that works for the public as well as jobs for other vampires. They are publicly listed as a "vampire detective." And they dress in incredibly tacky vampire cosplay the whole time. Somehow, this reinforces the Masquerade by excusing any and all odd behavior as being "part of the bit."
As a storyteller I love having a Malkavian on my crew. Gives lots of possibilities and it is wonderful to see the player trying to understand what they are seeing/hearing
As a Storyteller I am very suspicious of people wanting to play one. I found very few people can do it without being disruptive or unconvincing although those who can are amazing. That said my main NPC in a several year long campaign was a very old malkavian who everyone underestimated. Malk's are amazing storyteller tools and either great benefits or problems for your campaign in the hands of players.
I got an idea for a sadist Malkavian. They're not into politics, but they are a somewhat respected figure in society. They're a competent Malkavian that gives advice and guidance. Their mental derangement is Sadism. They like to play pranks or gaslight people, it's all in good fun. But in the end they are a dependable person.
Mental illness is a very touchy subject but people without those mental illnesses can still pull it off if they research and play it respectfully. One doesn't have to exactly play a real mental illness either for instance they could choose a supernatural disorder like believing you need to purify blood before drinking it, or believing you consume the souls of the victim along with their blood. There is a massive variety of options so if you have any disorder no matter how minor you could realistically play it out not needing to go for having Schizophrenia or anything.
the trick is to not really think of the character as "a Malkavian", but instead just make a character with some serious issues that seem organic to them. hope that makes sense
My favorite clan after Tremere and Toreador, and the most difficult to play. It goes without saying Malkavians make excellent SPCs and are difficult to get right as a player, but once you've found a good Malkavian player you can have some amazing scenes :3
I... I have this vision, like a mandala.. It changes, patterns like fractals and it IS.. magnificent. I know I must Make it, mostly hues of red, Crimson and Black and yellow bile, white bone.. I add to it, sometimes I see someone who fits The mandala and I just know they'd want to Be a Part of it.. If they just saw IT.. like I do. It has Been a decade in The making, IT shows me things.. it might Be alive.. as much as I am at least. Sometimes I despair, for I think I might never finnish it.. So beautiful, My Malkavian Mandala!
i fucking love how you portayed a malakavian esepcially since i fucking love i literally talk and act just like the character you made/ portrayed in the beggining with you were literally like only at most 5% more exaggerated a version of me... honestly if i were in the univirse of vampire the masquerade i would fucking be a damn malkavian....... like other people might find some amount of difficulty in figuring out which clan they'd be but for me its like a instantaneous fucking thing of instantly knowin id be a malkavian......
>playing Malkavian as a lmao random crazy person Meh >Playing Malkavian as a conspiracy theory guy that doesn't hear "voices" but connects all the dots all at once So you know, the biggest blow to America, i mean you know what I'm talking about, but you don't know this, two werewolves boarded those cockpits and did that, crazy right? lemme tell you another thing, those two planes turned three buildings on ruble that day, the thing you won't believe is, that building number seven had alotta of documents about those national parks and the financial black hole that they are, i mean 2.9 Billion to keep trees on their natural habitat? but it goes deeper JFK was a ghoul and the Cubans knew it too.
3:33 I find this really weird because my most recent Toreador "Thin Blood" is named Jackie and my character arch for him was to serve within vampire society (Specifically sucking up to the Camarilla) until becoming a trusted servant, to gain powers through Diablerie, then feed information to the Anarchs, before turning Sabbat due to Anarch betrayal...
I liked the lore with the great prano, but at the same time, hated the idea of Malkavians not having dementation. It takes away the signature discipline, which is one 9f the things that make Malkavians stand out. It's like having Gangrel with no protean.
I kinda like how vtmb portrays them as poets. I really wanna play the ttrpg and i plan to play as a malkavian who struggles to talk 'normally' like there's almost a block in their mind from saying something the mundane way. Instead of saying, "our target's in the garage" they'd say; "our prey is dwelling in the homes of automobiles"
Imagine if you will, a Malkavian Antediluvian, perhaps Malkav himself, or was it Cain, after all these eons it's a bit scrambled. Where was I? Oh yes, the childer of Vlad Țepeș himself was seriously injured and in a moment of "DAMN, she's gonna die for good" our Hero decides that He will save her. How was this done? He fed her from his Own blood until she was strong enough to feed on her own. It took a few months for her to regain her strength but she Did pull through. Oh, did I mention a slight side effect? Can you say TzimKavian? 🤫 On a side note, sealing that body from that tomb owned by one Joseph of Arimathea that Saturday night, was a Great Prank...........that Backfired
Ha ha, I like how this video has your avatar constantly showing different expressions at random. I think it sort of befits the Malkavian clan. In any case, I've played two Malkavians in two different chronicles and I portrayed them as a little eccentric as opposed to criminally insane. The way I see it, even though the clan was cursed with inherent mental instability, there's still an amount of reason to their "madness". For example, there's a Malkavian named Dev/Null in the video game called Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption who may seem to be in a world of his own but he is able to see through lies and disguises. This makes you realise that he knows more than he appears to know and is not completely nuts.
You know, I might not hear voices, but other than that I'm pretty sure I have what that guy has without any of the cool vampire powers to go along with it. ADHD = Lamer mortal version of being Malkavian confirmed lmao
I have paranoid schizophrenia and I like to think we're the closest to a really "typical" malkavian, since schizophrenia manifests in so many different ways. The attention problems? They're incredibly common! A lot of us have "hyper reflectivity", which is being unable to filter out impressions and senses we get from our surroundings, to such an extent that we can't pay attention and zone out. We also most commonly hallucinate by hearing voices, but not all of us do. Some of us hear them in our head, some of us hear them from people who are actually talking (just saying the wrong things). This can also cause us to zone out because we simply can't focus. These attention things (coupled with it also being a symptom of its own) can make us have random, long pauses in our speech and disturb/disorganize our thoughts completely, making conversations quite out of sync! I know ADHD shares some of these problems with us and I'd love to see malkavians with strong ADHD! Maybe manifesting the voices in a way that isn't our typical psychosis? That'd be interesting!
@@vvamp2400 Thank you much for the input! It's rare to run into actual schizophrenia sufferers for most folk, so hearing from one in a clear and public way is a treat indeed. Bless ya.
@@Osric24 Anytime! Malkavian characters have so much cool potential regardless of whether they're based off schizophrenia or not, but I hope I could provide a little bit of insight if players decide to go that route!
The beginning portion is how i play my Malk. Hes a heavily neurotic engineer who dips into mad science. When he's forced to talk to people he rambles like that most of the time.
I know DID have been done a million times over at this point, but do you guys think playing out a vampire version of fight club/passione from jojo would be an alright concept for a malkavian? As in me playing as a cog in some massive behind the scenes scheme of the dominant identity that is controlled by the ST
My malk is my favorite to play. Also my first character to creat... personality concept... imagine if deadpool and Edward ( cowboy bepop) had a love child lol. 4 in dex, max wit, 4 perception, 2 intelligence... max willpower ( over period of game time) and got the merit blahsay... I think that's how you spell it.
i always play a malkav. auspex + mass dominate + passive gains into insight, whether useful or not, make it the most interesting clan. never can tell. i think they might be both fascinated and revolted by the Tzimisce and consider the tremere, i think you even said it, as a fledgling but powerful childe clan even if the Tzimisce absolutely hate them.
In my opinion Malkavian it's not a clan, because every Ravnos, Lasombra, Ventrue, Tzimisce etc. are also insane. I don't undedstand what's the concept of this clan...
In the case of these, they have compulsions and even a direction towards where these manias or insanities, call it what you want, go, in the case of the Malkavians this is more linked to an ability to see the world differently or identify patterns, than others. are not able to notice or even deal with and this can manifest itself in different ways, voices being one of them.

Ya, if I ever turn into a vampire in this world I would just say drink or eating, just in case I say in in front of a human
I always took "feeding" to be in reference to the Beast, not the the vampires themselves.
I reckon it's because it's technically incorrect, even if the term has utility when in mortal or mixed company. You are not feeding yourself, you are feeding your beast. Of course, some consider those one in the same but most of us want to keep that *thing* as far from our minds as possible.

I've always had the issue of players playing the insane funnyman when using a malkavian. It is not always the comic relief but players use it as such.
I think no matter how the character is, as a storyteller we have an know the psychic information they get in touch with. In this way, almost every player with a Malkav can be guided into play.

People also forget insanity comes in multiple forms. Insane people even with the same mental illness can have different behaviour patterns
I personally found Malkavians that are portrayed by their players as completely insane lunatics to be the most boring ones. Sure, you can do that, but it also robs the character of almost all possible facettes a Malk can and should have.

*is long time malk larp player*
I just play them because I'm mentally ill already
another excellent video. well done kindred, well done indeed.
I got an idea for a sadist Malkavian. They're not into politics, but they are a somewhat respected figure in society. They're a competent Malkavian that gives advice and guidance. Their mental derangement is Sadism.
They like to play pranks or gaslight people, it's all in good fun. But in the end they are a dependable person.
Auspex let's you know a lot about others, but Dominate is what you need for taking over another person.
It sounds like it would be interesting to play a Malkavian... but the fear of coming off offensive somehow is an issue.
Same here.
Mental illness is a very touchy subject but people without those mental illnesses can still pull it off if they research and play it respectfully.

It largely depends on what exactly you're trying to do.
You don't need to adhere to a specific condition, so accuracy doesn't need to be an issue.
How to play Malkavian? Don't be a Fishmalk
My favorite clan after Tremere and Toreador, and the most difficult to play. It goes without saying Malkavians make excellent SPCs and are difficult to get right as a player, but once you've found a good Malkavian player you can have some amazing scenes :3
I would say the Baali are the most difficult to play. They are seen as evil for evil sake which is terrible if play correctly.

That opening, I swear it sounds like me thinking.
You do not play a Malkavian... A Malkavian plays you.
Being a malk is like taking a bad vapestore edible 24/7
they lost the madness network in 5 edition so they are like everyone else now :(
Chicago By Night
I love Malkavians . They are the colorful vampires ...I've rollplayed many ..
No wonder your recording is so crisp
One need not guess what clan you feel the most affinity
It leaks from your very intonation
How to play a Malkavian: 20% creepy, 20% insightful, 20% ridiculous, 40% crazy
Am I the only human who does say feed more often than eat?
Question, i have watched many times and still dont understand what kind of people are embraced by malks
Very good job. Thank you
Coming off offensive for something small you can't control ? I guessed I picked the perfect clan for me, I feel a little close to it personally.
My malk is my favorite to play. Also my first character to creat... personality concept... imagine if deadpool and Edward ( cowboy bepop) had a love child lol. 4 in dex, max wit, 4 perception, 2 intelligence... max willpower ( over period of game time) and got the merit blahsay... I think that's how you spell it.
Blase is the proper spelling. So a jaded smart-ass type? I can dig it!
I like older vers when they have demontaion (forgive my spelling)
Fuck. The first 3 minutes were a 1:1 description of me at work xD
So who wants to play a malkavian who thinks there a pirate and calls blood rum?
I say "go grab a bite"... 🤷♂
i always play a malkav. auspex + mass dominate + passive gains into insight, whether useful or not, make it the most interesting clan. never can tell. i think they might be both fascinated and revolted by the Tzimisce and consider the tremere, i think you even said it, as a fledgling but powerful childe clan even if the Tzimisce absolutely hate them.
ok, san diego
Okay to normal people....the intro...like 1/4 of the way...not comming back
In my opinion Malkavian it's not a clan, because every Ravnos, Lasombra, Ventrue, Tzimisce etc. are also insane.
I don't undedstand what's the concept of this clan...
In the case of these, they have compulsions and even a direction towards where these manias or insanities, call it what you want, go, in the case of the Malkavians this is more linked to an ability to see the world differently or identify patterns, than others. are not able to notice or even deal with and this can manifest itself in different ways, voices being one of them.
