ON THE FENCE

Bjørn has been a vampire too long to go back. He has no interest in becoming a human again, though he doesn't believe in taking away that opportunity from someone else. That said, he'd fight hard for it not to fall in the wrong hands, and wouldn't want it to be weaponised, at all. While he wouldn't want to take the choice away from someone else, he also knows that the nature of people will make it very, very difficult to safeguard. He could be persuaded to destroy it, should it come to that.

Charlie likes to think things through. Vampirism was a cure to an unavoidable death, but becoming human has a nice ring to it too - she misses tanning without the side dish of searing pain. Truthfully, vampirism has given her strength and the ability to fight off the things that killed her. Even if she returned a human and trained really hard - retained her skill, she'd struggle to measure up to her potential as a vampire. It doesn't seem worthwhile. Nor does it seem right to take that option away from someone else whose life has more value when they're human. As a victim of violent and sexual abuse, she is all too aware of there being people who did not ask for vampirism, who deserve to be cured. A proficient hacker, she's likely to seek as much information as possible before falling on any side of the equation. She'll be heavily influenced by family too, particularly Jesse and Sol.




AGAINST

Mackenzie is a blood thief using vampire blood as an alternative form of chemotherapy. She wouldn't want the cure to take root and kill off her med supply. She's also fascinated by the wealth of diversity the world has to offer (supernaturally) and sees little value in trying to destroy it. In her words, if you think vampirism is a disease, try cancer.

Abel Riese is all about that bass. He's been dealing in death as a child - the Riese legacy is one of death. Not only does he benefit financially from vampirism (setting up fake funerals for vampires to put a good end to the chapter), but he exists as a pacifist. There are ways for vampires to survive without relying on human blood - consensually or not, and he believes that with a little effort, there can be some resolution. His Jewish background also makes him very, very perturbed at the idea of ethnic cleansing. He'd rather see it destroyed, but maybe not before giving the chance for some to turn back if they so wish it.




FOR

Gretchen thinks that turning these fuckers back to human and killing them once and for all, is pretty damn good deal. It's a no brainer for this dual-classed paladin. Weaponise. Make the first bullet a humanising one, and the latter a fatal one. Make vaccines for humans that can sicken any vampire who feeds on them. Give the cattle the power to weaken those that pry on them.

Mine actively involved so far and their rp'd stance.

INDIGO

For peace. It is one of her middle names. For the choice if there was a cure out there. Forcibly using it? Absolutely not. She would want it for those who were denied the experience of freely choosing as she was given the option to do. Sweet Indigo. She is all about peace, don't worry and be happy. Sorry, No one said her poptart ever fully toasted.

BALTHAZAR

Against the cure. Willing to play nice with his food sources though. He is relatively new, hasn't seen a fadebeast yet or that massive monster running through the city but chances are he would believe that the power he is coming into is the best thing that has ever happened to him.

ESLI

For the cure. Against peace. Blood thieves are also on his no fly zone list. He is comatose at the moment but still on a mission. He wants to get a hold of that cure, force feed it and reverse what has spread then destroy what has been tainted. No exceptions. He is obviously dealing with some unresolved grief and the rational lines in his wiring aren't firing. He is also paladin and with the old school approach. He will be eating alot of jello cubes in the med surg unit I am afraid.
