Dead Cruiser Dishonour Before Death / Better You Than Me

What I mean is that I really REALLY REALLY don't think there's any plausible way for him to survive staking in the heart, neither side of his race has immunity to that. It's one of the cornerstone ways to kill both a vampire and a human, there's no reason for him to suddenly be immune to it.


I'm taking a cue from a couple of my inspirational sources. Essentially what happens is that both sides cancel each other out. The human side removes the symbolic insta-kill weakness of the heart. The vampire side keeps the human side from dying without a heart by focusing all of its regenerative efforts on keeping him alive without a beating heart. If he isn't blood-empowered when he's staked, he'll be rendered comatose from the effort.

So, wait.... If the stake in the heart halts his regenerative abilities... Then twisting it would kill him? I mean, it ain't pumpin blood, oxygen flow stops within 7 seconds, blood stops flowing immediately, I mean, a stake is pretty big, it's crush at least two chambers just by being there. All you'd have to do to destroy the rest of it it just, twist it a little bit, or even like a blender, just the force to turn a doorknob would sever the arteries and veins, crush the remaining chambers, and basically deflate it like a sad, little heart balloon.

Not that I'm an expert of staking people... Or crushing hearts.... Except for that one time in freshman year... Sorry Samuel....

Basically the idea is that his regeneration "halts" because it's working overtime to keep him alive without a functioning heart. If empowered by blood, he can still function, minus any of his regenerative abilities. If at baseline, he's made catatonic until his body fails from being unsustained. Once the stake is removed, his heart can actually heal itself and his body resumes normal functions.

I basically want a little "screw you" for anyone that thinks he can be treated like any old vampire; that human blood has its benefits as well as its weaknesses.

Uh... Okay, that defies physics and all knowledge of biology and pretty much renders him undead, but okay, if that's what you really want. I kinda think that's a little OP for his regenerative abilities to be that advanced, but I'm not GM. It's up to Spawnling and Viridian, I'm just saying that as main villain, you may want to tone it down just a smidge, you know, so everybody gets a chance to beat up the monsters and get beaten up by monsters.

Then you really shouldn't use a vampire. I'm going to say no on that, regeneration is limited to healing non-fatal *I.E. Cutting off the head, stabbing the heart, or massive damage that eviscerates the body* and can be nulled by fire or cauterization of the wounds, because at the moment, your character is simply too strong. He can regenerate minor wounds, and when empowered, can heal them at the blink of an eye, but he can be killed outside of fire/drowning by severing the head, puncturing the heart, or simply destroying the body with enough damage.

Work under the assumption that such massive regeneration power is not allowed, because it's way WAY too powerful, unless Viridian says otherwise.

Yay! New people arrived while I was away. *pops balloons* Sorry I was late to the party. I tend to... disappear at times... eheh. Thankfully, my trusty Co-GM is around and helpful as always. ^^

@Boop_Im_A_Dragon and @Blazion - accepted. Feel free to post in IC.
A summary of important events:
1. Kimiko and Gin went out to have lunch, but were attacked by a Rabisu. The Rabisu was poisoned by Jaki (who hasn't made an appearance in IC yet, she's just working in the background) and thus went into a frenzy to attack.
2. Capello saved the day.
3. Gin was injured. The Rabisu's poison made her high. Now she's loopy.
4. Yuen was dramatically "blinded" by cleaning fluid in the kitchen. Thankfully, Feli and Victor helped him.
5. Everyone (excluding Yuen and Feli) is now at the lounge, discussing about forming partners so that if future attacks happen, no one will be unprotected.
**Oh, also, Capello, Kimiko, and Marie have been at Primrose Terrace for years and know each other fairly well. Yuen, Feli, Victor and Gin are the newer residents.

Did I miss anything? ^^' If you guys just skim through the posts on page 4, you'll get most of what has happened.

@Deadcruiser - I have no problems with him being a dhampir, but his regeneration must be toned down as Spawnling has discussed. It has the potential to be OP. :)

Yuen is a drama queen. But also not, because I know first hand that Lysol stings like a bitch in the eyes. My eyes were fuzzy and watering for hours. And that was a little bit.

I am also a a drama queen, but I think it makes charcters more fun. To mock, at least.

At least yours isn't loopy and around the bend right now. Cleaning supplies are evil.

Thanks Veridian! I'm a bit busy today so at the latest I'll try and get a post up tomorrow night.

A question though: Is this still the first day? I'm just trying to decide how to introduce Claire.

Your character has arrived or will arrive whenever you decided them to, there is no set "first day" Victor has been there for three days. I believe Gin was there for a week, and Yuen and Feli have just arrived this day. It'd be easiest to say we're in about the mid to late afternoon portion of the first day the RP has started on. You can easily have Claire just arrive, have been in her room, or anywhere between.

Woot just got back, and I'm glad to see I was accepted! I hope to have a post sometime tonight or tomorrow.

P.S. Thanks Viridian for catching us up on what exactly was going on without forcing us to read every single page.

Ah, alright! Thanks for the information - I figured Claire was there for awhile and was trying to determine how many new people would be there if I said she was gone most of the morning with Thanatos.

Name: Thomas Thatcher, or simply just Tom.

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Role: Bartender.

Apartment No: N/A



Race: Descendant of 'Spring heeled Jack'

Abilities: Enhanced agility and dexterity (Almost superhuman), above average strength, can spit blue flames from his mouth, though he sees this as more of a party trick than anything useful as the flames gutter out quite quickly, and is able to leap incredible heights and distances (He boasts of once clearing a ten story building.)

Strengths/Weaknesses: His enhanced agility and dexterity grant him great reaction time in combat situations, able to dodge most physical attacks, wearing down his opponents as he strikes when an opportunity presents itself. The aforementioned skill set combined with his ability to leap, make him just about impossible to catch if he so wishes to retreat from a fight. Back in his prime, Thomas was able to achieve an untouchable state when in combat, but an incident later on left his right leg lame forcing him to rely on a walking cane that he'll pivot and maneuver around on in a fight.

Bio: Thomas started his life in London, England, born to single mother whom was teetering on the brink of financial ruin. His abilities came into fruition early on in his childhood, his mother seeing them as a gift from god granted to her son so he might make something of himself. It wasn't too soon afterward that his life became embroiled with the brutal world of the Youkai, and he himself was targeted by a pure blooded Barghest. The creature stalked him home and in the dark of night broke into the house, baying for blood as it charged for his room. Awakened by the sound, the young Thomas was able to escape from his window, situated on the second floor, to the rooftops across the street, but in his panic he had forgotten about his mother whom the creature killed in its fury. Having bore witness to the danger half bloods such as himself were at risk of and the risk they posed to those around them, he set out into the world with vengeance in his heart and a determination to prevent any others from experiencing such loss, this landed him a job as a bodyguard for high class half bloods. But years later and for reasons known only to him and a few others he retired, applying later for a position as a bartender at Primrose Terrace.

Other: Thomas has a love of magic tricks and sleight of hand, always willing to show off to those who ask.

Athoriel - I see no problems with your CS as it is, but as always, Viridian makes the decision. Looks good to me though.

Is it bad that I had to google Spring Heel Jack because I only know of the one from the Elder Scrolls games?

For sake of information, and I'm sorry if any of you have mentioned it already, but Boop_Im_A_Dragon is your character new to Primrose or has he been there for awhile? The bio is just slightly ambiguous on that.

Blazion - I just noticed the "So far in the closet she's in Narnia" remark. Would that mean she's in denial about her sexuality or she's just so straight it hurts? Either way, this amuses me greatly.

EDIT: And for anyone still considering joining, we've got an uncontested spot for a tenant still open.

I plan on having my character been around for about 2 or 3 days now, sorry I didn't clarify this in my Bio or mention it anywhere even though I probably should have.
