[OOC] Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

[Wraithblade6]

@jasonwolf ok. I can fit with that.

[Witch Cat]

@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.

@jasonwolf

I could compile a list of vampire myths around the world and try to integrate them into the power set of a vampire from a specific reign. If vampires can heal faster, why not evolve faster too?

[Witch Cat]

@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.

@Wraithblade6

We don't really have limits on what we expect, but feel free to take a look at the CS tab to get an idea.

[AdobeFlash]

@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.

@Wraithblade6

I think it's ok if the two vampires are quite different. It would be boring if they were similar, but I am glad Wraith made the decision.
Also, either one of us could have ulterior evil motives. >:^)

[jasonwolf]

@Witch Cat because evolution occurs through breeding.

@AdobeFlash

Jaklo wishes to turn every doughnut in the R&W building into clear, and calorie free liquid. And Wraith wants to increase everyone's sugar intake levels.

[jasonwolf]

Also side note while this conversation is going on. I think I have a third of the post done. It's basically Jaklo capping off the water cooler talk before getting informed by Markiel that they have a case and everyone is going up to Seph's office for the full details.

@jasonwolf

Well I mean, with the charm every vampire has, I wouldn't be surprised if they left a lot of babies around. That is unless they lost their sex drive completely.

[AdobeFlash]

I hope the personalities are really polarizing, like say when put in a situation they react very differently
situation: bumps into someone on the street (cuss warning for those who dont like them sorry)

Wraith: I'm very sorry sir
Atlas: FUCKING OFF YOURSELF

@Witch Cat

I WONDER WHO THAT WAS AIMED AT

GEE. I REALLY WONDER IF THAT WAS A POTSHOT AT ANYBODY

[jasonwolf]

@Witch Cat Vampire's have limited blood supplies (ergo why they need to drink blood). I can go into a whole backstory on that, BUT without blood you tend to have issues getting it up.

[jasonwolf]

@AdobeFlash *pulls out shotgun and vaguely aims at Atlas* No that is a potshot.

[Wraithblade6]

@Witch Cat Personally, I prefer sterile vampires. They are "Dead" after all.

[AdobeFlash]

@jasonwolf
You cant aim a gun at my ego because I dont have any self esteem.

@Wraithblade6
Hey, Im dead on the inside and Im not sterile
But the idea of vampire viagra is hilarious

[jasonwolf]

@Wraithblade6Honestly I feel like that may end up being a point of alteration for this series. I think we might put vampirism as an entirely uncurable disease that replaces ALL of your cells. I mean I've done the opposite with lycanthrope which is instead just a person who doesn't have control over their morphologic magic and are changed by natural forces.

I think as a magic disease theres a bit more play room. On the other hand holding all these old rules and then changing that may be two steps forward and then two steps back contradictions.

@jasonwolf

I was thinking of how that would work. I thought that vampire cells were aggressive, supernatural versions of regular animal cells. So you could put them against the microscope and they would look different. I could go deeper into this, like how the cells reproduce aggressively, and the iron and chemical combinations of human blood are some of the only things that can keep them alive and powered and such. But thats just me.

[jasonwolf]

@AdobeFlash It also fits the Science side of this world. Magic is science here. It's actually able to be studied and understood.

[Wraithblade6]

It's best not to get too sciency about it.

@Wraithblade6

I understand, but my character is a real science guy (bill bill bill) with theories and such. I am just making rules for Atlas to perform experiments by, but I dont want too much science so as to ruin the illusion.
