Canon Q&A With Storytellers

This power allows the vampire to subconsciously prevent specific modifications, augmentations, scars, tattoos or even wounds from healing. Can also be used to experience longer lasting effects of drugs. (Bloodline inheritance optional)

There are tattoo parlours on grid. Do the artists working in them have the ability to create tattoos that stick on vampires (like special ink), or must all vampires intent on getting tattoos (and keeping them) have this power?

The second one. The power only works on the person who has it.

Would you be allowed to say your character has lived in the city for years even though you only created them today?

[Caligrace]

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. :)

Question from myself and Theron Wicked who brought it up. Alexandrea did sort of say it was probably that it could be done but said we should check here anyway.

Can vampires, role-play wise, be killed (especially by paladins) and if so, how exactly would it come about? Is it some kind of ritual, to paladins naturally just make it extremely hard for vampires to come back to life if they're the ones who killed them? Or is there some other thing to do that would make sense. This is mainly referring to NPC's, though if they can die, it would be nice to know why it wouldn't work on PC's from an IC perspective.

How does summoning a Trayonetic Wolf look like in RP terms?

Unlike the majority of the Vampire summoning powers, this power only requires 5 anima. Does the user need to say anything like a ritual summon, for example?

You mean permanently die? A vampire can be permanently killed if they are taken outside of the area where the rift is. If they're killed outside of the area where the rift is, then they're stuck in the shadow realm and can't return. Anyone could do this, theoretically. Though obviously you'd need player permission to have your character do that with another person's character, as it would be purely for story purposes and isn't really supported by current gameplay.

A trayonetic wolf is basically a wolf corpse infused with vampire blood, which animates it, and makes it a little bit like a zombie, but not quite. The trayonetic wolves are stronger than living wolves, and smarter than zombies, which means that they can take orders/be loyal to their masters. How exactly the blood is infused is up to the writer, so long as it makes sense (I.E. if it's forced into a mouth, given by injection, etc). It could be a wolf who is forced to attack a weak/fledgeling vampire, who gets blood into its system that way but then fatally dies and comes back loyal to its sorcerer/blood thief master. Or really whatever you like so long as those key components are hit on.

A CrowNet question, if you will.

If people do not identify themselves with a CrowNet Handle ID, we refer to them as "Anonymous", right?

So how does one distinguish multiple users who have not assigned a CrowNet Handle ID?

O.O

[Azraeth]

You wouldn't really be able to - they'd all just appear to be anonymous as there's no visible identification really. They could all be the same person or each anonymous post could be made by someone entirely different.

Several questions on semideus, particularly sirens:

1) Are they affected by (illegal) drugs or alcohol differently from humans?

2) What are the different forms of structure in the siren communities? And is there a sort of council/diplomatic agreement between the different siren's?

3) How early in life does it become apparent that a child is a siren? What are some ways it manifests?

4) Any allergies - or idiosyncrasies that effect how they interact with other species?

5) Do sirens appear in mirrors as themselves or is there a quirk?

6) If a siren reproduces, how long is the gestation period? Would there be anything usual about it?

7) How many forms does a siren have? Is it a human, a full animal and an in-between or just human and one of the other two?
