[OOC] Blood Compact, Revamped(Yay bad puns!)

[Shikaru]

Not me, my grandma. She fell and broke her hip, she doesn't need surgery though and she's fine other than that as far as they can tell. She'll just be bed-ridden for a few weeks while it heals.

[thewizardguy]

Damn. Well, I hope she heals fast (=

[Shikaru]

Thanks, I do to :p. Doctor said it'd take around 6 weeks if everything healed nicely.

[thewizardguy]

Well then, that sounds like it'll work out well ^^

Also, since when are there magical helmets? Is this a thing now? Because if so, I want one.

[akje]

It's best to assume anything and everything is magical.

On that subject do we have any defined rules on vampires in this setting?
sunlight: nope
holy water: yup (how does it work though?), why does it work in vapor form? why doesn't it work on Johnathan?
running water: ?
garlic: ?
needs to be invited in: apparently not?
blessed metal: seems to work
crucifixes: seems to work
compulsive counting things: ?
stakes: insta-kill? does it need to be a certain type of wood?
Silver: ?
dead man's blood is poison: ?
diseases: ? and if no, can vampires still carry?
smashed in teeth: do the regenerate?
what happens to a human who drinks vampire blood? get high, turn into a ghoul? throws up?
I'm sure I'm forgetting some

and then there's the can of worms of how turning works...

Lol I meant Johnathan's beliefs, he believed the helmet to be lucky and imbued with God's will. Atleast, that's what one of your posts said..I think..

[Shikaru]

Lol forgot that ancient helmets and shit could actually be strapped to his armor. *imagines magnus trying to pry the helmet off* xD

I assume Shikaru removed the weakness to sunlight in order to allow vampires to pose as humans more effectively.
Johnathan wears a full plastic body suit under his armor. His skin never touches the vapour, and thus it can't burn him. Why Wouldn't it work in vapor form? Still the same substance, still just as blessed.
The running water thing is really vague. Mostly, I go by Buffy logic, which means runnignwater is useless. Also, it's less well known, and thus the chances of someone recognizing it is quite low.
Vampires don't like garlic, but that's quite a useless weapon against them. It's like throwing Brussel Sprouts at people.
I'm not sure about the inviting thing. No vampire has broken into a house. A bar is a public location, which means everyone is invited in by default, the standard invitation rule doesn't apply to locations such as bars (in most vampire worlds).
Why do you think blessed metal works? Johnathan's sword is a giant sharpened crucifix. That's why it burns vampires on contact.
Yep. Crucifixes work. This is probably one of the most famous vampire myths, which is why it's almost always true.
Compulsive counting things is another one of those incredibly vague myths that nobody except horror fans really knows. Also, it's origin isn't even vampires, per se. Originally, this myth was attached to ghosts.
Stakes insta-kill. Buffy logic.
No, silver is werewolves.
Once a vampire drinks from someone, that person is usually dead. Having your neck ripped open and large amounts of blood removed from you is rather deadly. However, OLD blood might well eb poisonous.
As vampires in this setting appear to be semi-alive and semi-dead (they still regenerate, but don't age or need to breathe) I have no idea.
I see no reason why everything would regenerate EXCEPT their teeth. The vampires are rather vague, and Oldblood vampires appear to have a mouthfull of shark teeth instead of just two.
I'm not sure what happens to humans who drink vampire blood. Presumably, it's quite disgusting.

....... no, not really.

Oh, and BTW, remember Dresden? I discovered something when I revisited his CS for inspiration. He isn't called Dresden, he's called Darren ^^

In full plate, like what Johnathan is wearing, they usually were.

[Shikaru]

You dun dun it nao lol.

[thewizardguy]

Sorry if Johnathan is slightly overpowered. I just love using my knowledge of vampire myth combiend with my knowledge of equipment and physics to create the most dangerous vampire hunter ever.

[Shikaru]

Don't worry, when Magnus snaps....let's just say you'd best be ready.

[thewizardguy]

Alrighty then! Here's to hoping it'll be amusing. Also,
"you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

I thought it was appropriate, based on what you just said. If he turns green, I'm going to throw cupcakes at him.

[Shikaru]

lmao no. Let's just say he is crazy as fuck with heightened speed and strength and even more of a killer instinct than ever. Nearly two millienia do quite the damage to the brain dontcha know?

[thewizardguy]

Crap, I just realized that psychotic thing is part of his powers. Is it a magical vampire power, or are we sticking to the scientific explanation? If the former, I'll edit my post.

[thewizardguy]

I kinda wanna go kill Martin, but I'd have to turn my back on Magnus, which I'm guessing is a BAD IDEA.

[Shiv]

Armor for centuries from old platemail, to modern Kevlar has always had the same non negotiable weaknesses. Armpits and joints cannot be fully protected. you can wear chainmail underneath to improve your odds but its still weak points, if they where sealed you wouldn't be able to move. aside from that claws vs armor is pretty much fubar.

[thewizardguy]

They're covered up with plastic. The cover is just there to prevent skin contact with Holy Vapour.

[Shikaru]

His rage affiliates with his psychic abilites, not really scientific in the least. It's moreso like Dresden's(yes I shall forever call him Dresden) wolf ability, only he doesn't transform.
