[quote=@HeySeuss] The Eternal keep a close eye on the Catholics due to the Inquisition and previous history, but they don't fear it. The Vigil is not closely aligned with it, though it's possible they might recruit a person or two from Catholic institutions but they steer clear of leadership and any overt contact that might arouse suspicion. There is a history of manipulating the Catholic Church through thralls...the vampires have thralls in a lot of key points of influence. Not necessarily politicians themselves, but the bureaucrats and people who can make things happen and keep things under wraps. Firearms and hand to hand combat each have their place here. [/quote] Niiiice. Second batch; I know there's alot of replacement of limbs, etc. , Cybernetics sorta shtick. What about subdermal implants though? Say, instead of replacing a lost limb, just adding or altering to what's already there? Wires under the skin, as it were? And do any of the vampiric lore holds true? Silver, running water, counting rice, that sort of thing?
