Can they write say a bunny... <.< with wings?
It's unlikely, because the wings are part of the vampire form, not the animal / feral mutation form. It's up to you, but I'd say it'd be a bit silly.

The abandoned Mansion was a Noble home back in the day, owned by Isabella Drake. Which is why Elizabeth/I wanted to purchase it within the first few months of path opening, but can't. I believe it's the only building David won't sell. So Cobb has no ties to it, that I know of on the ooc front. And if he did ic, Liz would have done something ic to take it from his *** back in the day.

That's correct; Cobb has no ties to the abandoned mansion, other than it being the location of the last stand of vampire kind. His lair was elsewhere.

I'm drawing a blank with that. I believe we said that the handle would be shown, rather than the real name of the vampire. But somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I get the feeling I might have answered that one before. I'm hesitant to answer again, just in case it conflicts with the previous answer, lol.

Ok I understand the game mechanics part of them
The Role play part is however vague and I cant find any descriptions of them anywhere

What do they look like are they swirling masses of magic or a mirror type thing that one can just walk into
What do they do rp wise like how do they get you from point to point
What would the sensation be like for someone using one
They'd look like nothing. Just as the sundering between realms (in the QZ) is invisible, so would fade portals be invisible. If anyone has roleplayed being able to see them before, that's okay, because perhaps they are the type of vampire who can see certain things hidden from normal people. But to most people (and humans), they'd be invisible. If you want to roleplay being able to see them, that's fine too. They'd most likely look like shimmering black portals or just black holes of nothingness.

The sensation would be like a brief flash of the shadow realm. It'd feel dark and oppressive, and you wouldn't be able to concentrate. But the teleportation is momentary, lasting just a split second.

I always assumed it was the opposite. Crownet handles weren't a thing, because they make no sense, logically. Crow created crownet AND a bounty system. It clearly wanted accountability, so why would it have given people anonymity wrt the forum? Also, if everyone's been using/able to use pseudonyms all along, how the hell can any comment ever have been attributed to a specific character? They could change their pseudonym every comment and say whatever the hell they wanted without accountability, and players would then be able to accuse anyone using that information IC of crossing, because "FlirtyHyena" said it, not "Phoenix" and that could be anyone.

I always assumed the online handles only worked on the Fact or Fiction board for the above reason mentioned by Nix.

True. But Crow no longer has power over it, which means there's no longer anything supernatural about it.

Crow no longer having anything to do with it wouldn't affect its setup or structure.

But if that's canon, I'll just have everything my characters post on the public boards be anonymous from now on. Does that mean my character being attacked for saying something on Crownet is crossing? O.o

What's to stop a human from 'hacking' crownet and getting a list of vampire e-mails or IPs? If there were an impact thread like that, could they conceivably get a ton of identities that way?

For that matter, what exactly ties a vampire to their crownet account now? Could they give a human their password and be like "Go wild!"?

Can all posts be made anonymously? And, related to the above, would there be an IC way for someone to track down a person who posts?

Could someone hack into another person's board? Like what's to stop a human from hacking into the Worthington board? I mean not that I would assume they would know enough about vampires to go looking for that, but my main question with that pertains to whether or not the faction/private boards fall under the same principle as the primary crownet.

I also ask because those would make for awesome impact thread ideas.
