@jasonwolf

sorry, sorry. weve cut out the ooc spam, which i shoudl really stop doing but everyone is online when im tired, so i sometimes dont think things through.

happy 600 posts

@Witch CatI know that's why I'm reminding not scolding. (though size means a fair bit too.) I'm fine with the funny goofy chat so long as it doesn't fill my screen with images I'd rather not see while trying to work on the serious side of things. This case isn't exactly cheery.

@jasonwolf

anythings cheery when compared to the Gulag incident of 1937 -Atlas has horrific flashback- (Atlas is desensitized to near everything)
but yeah, i figured this case wouldn't be quite so fun. so we just cheer things up a bit here in OOC

Maybe we can stop this mysterious cyromancer by warming his heart up with the power of LAUGHTER! Because the most powerful magic of all, is Friendship.

@Witch Cat

the most powerful magic is probably the ability to manipulate antimatter or whatever

[Wraithblade6]

Do you guys take vampire characters?

Do you guys take vampire characters?

@Wraithblade6

We have one currently, don't see any reason we couldn't have more.

[Wraithblade6]

@Polyphemus Oh. Well I guess I'll read up then.

[AdobeFlash]

@Polyphemus Oh. Well I guess I'll read up then.

@Wraithblade6

I can give you the post of vampire abilities and weaknesses if you want

[Wraithblade6]

@AdobeFlash Oh. Am I limited to what's on a list?

[Polyphemus]

Well, we gotta keep this world consistent, after all.

[AdobeFlash]

@AdobeFlash Oh. Am I limited to what's on a list?

@Wraithblade6

Im just gonna hit uou up with a summary. We are limited, but you can talk with @jasonwolf to discuss anything else

Abilities: Superhuman strength, superhuman speed, can mesmerize people, can turn into a bat that can withstand daylight

Weaknesses: Sunlight, literally anything related to religion. Crosses slightly effective, crucifix super effective. Holy grounds like churches, garlic is a minor ward. also, if you make a makeshift cross out of sticks or whatever, the strength depends on faith, like one made by a priest is more powerful than one made by a lab student. Also, holy water burns.

[Wraithblade6]

Ok thanks. I was just looking for a description or a list in the OC but it wasn't on the intro post. I'm ok with the sunlight and holy things attributes, but I honestly couldn't care less for turning into a bat. I would like to forgo that ability in lieu of different powers. I like mind-affecting powers, but I would rather focus it on mental self-defense only.

@AdobeFlash

Shh! We got to keep this simple for the kids!

[Witch Cat]

Oh wow, another person! This place is like a honey pot to a fly! But instead of CIA agents crackin' down on illegal deeds with honey pots, we just talk by water coolers.

@Wraithblade6

I would think there could be different types of vampire. Say, the North American Vampire and the European Vampire or whatever. So say, instead of turning into a bat, you get like a stronger mind. I'd discuss it with the GM when he's back online, but it isn't implausible and sounds cool. Just start working on your CS and make changes as information comes in.

[jasonwolf]

@Wraithblade6 THe bat's purpose is for daytime/sunlight travel. We also established that vampire's have an ability to be rather charming/manipulative. It's a more subtle addition to their personal abilities rather than them getting mind control or something really powerful. The focus is far more on the schools of studies. There are greater vampires, and THE vampire (vlad/dracula) does exist in this universe, and they get massively more power, but are far to dangerous to trust (and way too much for player character. All the characters are meant to show the average of a magic user at least for the start.)

Also one weakness they forgot is that I do enforce arthimomania. Vampires are deeply compelled to counter small things when they are scattered on the ground. IT's actually a part of old vampire myths that you can delay them by throwing grain or salt on the ground and they have to count every last bit of it. Basically you go nuts at beaches.

EDIT: as for other regions of vampires I'd need some references on other myths about vampire to make that call. I'm not gonna just say SA vampires get X ability while Asian vampires get Y ability because I say son.

[Wraithblade6]

@AdobeFlash Alright. Thanks. I will start working on a CS, but it probably won't be ready until tomorrow. I am not sure how crazy deep you guys want me to go into detail, but I guess we'll see. This will be quite a different character than the vampire you currently have.

[jasonwolf]

@Wraithblade6Well I will be as honest as I can be to let in ANOTHER vampire I really expect it to be. Vampires that aren't just mental hunters or have accepted the idea of being evil are not a common thing.
