Answering that might reveal some spoilers, one way or the other. I can't tell you much about Crow yet.
Ah, my bad!

Question:

Due to vampiric healing and whatnot, would some sort of ritualistic disfiguring be void, due to regeneration? Or could there be a way around this?

Non-anonymous, remote powers and rituals that are cast on your charrie.

How does your charrie know who did them?

I'm undecided. I don't want to say no, just in case I change my mind later.

And going back to the human condition and how it may or may not be carried over into the vampiric state... you said disease would be cured but not genetically caused conditions. What about accidents? Such as losing a hand or an eye?
Yes to the first part.

As for the second question, I think it's partly answered somewhere in the wiki. But just as a general answer: it varies from one vampire to the next. The vampire's appearance is more about who they see themselves as (to a greater or lesser extent depending on which path the vampire is). I would imagine that a vampire who was very much used to missing an eye would still be missing that eye when turned.

If it's inherent - how do those who bridge to telepath learn/use technokinesis?
All telepaths are able to use the Vathiá to some extent as soon as they are able to use telepathic powers. Almost all telepathic powers manipulate the Vathiá in some way. This would also extend to vampires who learn to use telepathic powers, even though those paths wouldn't be able to actually explore the Vathiá itself (rather, they'd simply manipulate it).

Exploration of the Vathiá as an entirely new "realm" isn't very easy until the appropriate telepathic mastery power is gained (not yet created). For now, you could roleplay a telepath being able to slip into the Vathiá and even manipulate things such as radio waves (in the case of technokenisis) but far greater things will be attainable for master telepaths, who unlock greater control and exploration of the Vathiá. In game it will work a little like the shadow realm, but their physical bodies will not move.

You'd have to explain ritualistic disfiguring and how it differs to usual wounding.

That's actually a hard question to answer, because I was originally going to explain it as vampires being able to sense the spiritual "signatures" of other beings, but that wouldn't work for humans. As such, we'll just say that the demi fae-reveals the name to the target either as a whisper or maybe a thought. Demis aren't too happy about being used, so if the ritual permits it, they will reveal the ritualist.

So in RP terms - a shadow who's bridged to telepath would be able to utilise the Vathia but wouldn't be able to vanish into it as a full blooded telepath could?

That's cool for the rituals. But what about something like Curse Spirit where the charrie doesn't have to be in the square as you and can cast it from a remote location? Or other powers like that?

Might be a dumb question, but can vampires drink from a corpse? I'm assuming the answer is "yes" because we can drink blood packs, but I could be wrong.

Blood flow stops after death, the heart no longer pumps blood round the body and it pools and coagulates in the body into a jelly like substance. (known as Livor Mortis, the redish hue to the areas where the blood collects.) Since corpses don't bleed, there is no possibility on being able to feed on a corpse. Blood packs are collected from living people in blood donor centers and hospitals, This blood has an expiration date to be used in transfusion, but is possibly safe, although probably not very pleasing on the palate for vampires to drink.

Who runs the Broussard gang now, and how are they replenishing their numbers? Is the Red Skull and his band of Hydra taking over? "Kill one, two more take it's place."

Are vampires harmed in anyway by religious artifacts? Not just crosses, but items such as Stars of David, Holy Water, Medalions of omni-supressant oneness, or are they as immune to such icons of goodness as humans.

Does the army have a constingancy plan for the Quarantine zone? In most zombie movies it is usually blow it up when all use is done... We are not going to see that are we?
