Canon Q&A With Storytellers

[Varnava]

Do Vampires have heartbeats/working circulatory systems?

This opens up a can of worms, if the answer is no...

Was this answered somewhere else? Very curious to know!

[Every]

We're all gonna have to discuss that because depending on our opinions, it may clash with previous canon. I'll bring it to the other's attention and get back to you. <3

[Varnava]

Sounds good! Thank you!

ETA: Where do Blood Thiefs get their power from? And Sorcerers? I know Paladins get theirs from Sorcerer magic.

[Caligrace]

Blood Thieves gain their power from feeding on vampires. Sorcerers from chi.

The wiki has a little history on both on how they got started, too, if you wanted more in depth. :)

[Varnava]

I do, thank you! And I will, tomorrow when it's daylight. I need to know the lore process of a Blood Theif. (I think they get a fang power later, but not at first?) Just thinking about whether or not it had to be a willing vampire and if it was an NPC (unwilling), would that mean they would have to nearly kill them or kill them? Could they still get the same nutrition and power from that situation? Sorry! I'm having a lot of questions and thoughts rolling around in my head in regards to the creation of these humans classes, both logistically and lore related because I'm brainstorming ideas for a Blood Doll class!

Thanks again!

Can a vampire (non allurist) Taste a Cigar/Cigarette if they smoke? >.

[Winter]

Yeah, they can taste smokes. It would be difficult to say they couldn't, and, I've had them do so in the past and wasn't flagged for canon break, so I'm going to make an official call on it and say sure.

On the Wiki it states that some Telepaths "... get overburdened by an influx of information, noises, thoughts, and ideas". In RP, if someone were to be Mind Blocked would this help lessen the burden, or make it worse? Can a Telepaths Mind Block themselves in RP? Was just curious if it would make things worse for them, or if they could experience some sort of silence for a short amount of time.

Also, how would the Luna Debilitation curse affect a telepath who is "... overburdened by an influx of information, noises, thoughts, and ideas" If they are, " weak as a human" would that also include a relief from an overburdened mind?

Thanks for any insight on this!

[Millicent]

I was told to put this question here. Can I have Millicent and her parents (they won't show up much in regards to other characters, mainly just for if I do stories/journals and background) be in a gang? Her parents or at least one of them would probably have joined first, and she just ended up in it. I didn't want to have to make my own faction gang because I don't want to have to lead it, and didn't want being a gang member to over-step anything else she'd end up doing.

This had been asked a long, long time ago. If I recall correctly, yes vampire blood circulates, but is not linked to heart beats. It was more spiritual/anima driven.
