Alt Lillanite Vampires
What is it like being a vampire?
Game Notes
Lillanite vampires are quite different from other
vampires in a rather fundamental way. The biggest of these is due
to their ancestry from one other than Caine. Due to this they did
not inherit Caine's nature but instead inherited unique natures from their
individual first generation vampires. The other aspect is that the
progenetors of the clans are ancient. There are no clans that have
come into existence since the birth of Christ. Lillith simply has
not returned in that age.
Many but not all of the Lillanite Vampires resided
in the Orient or in far out of the way places.
Lillanite Vampires have the following alterations
from humans.
-
Lillanites possess a Beastial Rating that begins
at 1. (Beastial is explained in its own document). Lillanites
suffer from three types of Frenzy: Flight Frenzy (called Rotschreck and
caused by holy objects, fire and sunlight mostly), Hunger Frenzy (when
their blood is below 5 there is a chance difficulty 5 to resist +1 per
point below five. This role is made every scene and at every stress
moment) and Anger Frenzy (when they lose control because something simply
upsets them).
-
Lillanites do not have to breath, or excrete. They do not have to
eat anything but blood to stay alive. Their heart does not beat except
by effort of will. They have no natural body heat and their hair,
fingernails, and toenails do not grow naturally.
-
Lillanites cannot eat without regugitating it out of their systems.
-
Lillanites do not suffer the physical ravages of time. They look
exactly as they did at the time of Embrace unless their particular family
alters their appearance.
-
Lillanites have nightsight subtract up to five from difficulties caused
by darkness.
-
Lillanites holds a standard amount of blood in themselves and burns it
at a rate of 1/day to stay alive. The maximum amount of blood they
can hold is based on their generation.
-
Lillanites may also spend their blood to increase their physical statistics
by 1 point per point spent. They may also spend blood to grow their
hair by 1 inch/ blood point spent. This increased physical capability lasts
for 10 minutes
-
Lillanites may also spend their blood to heal themselves of wounds at a
rate of 2 levels per point spent except for aggrevated wounds (explained
later) which heals at a rate of 1 level per 5 blood points spent and only
1 may be healed in this way without spending willpower. Vampires
do not heal at all without spending blood. The Lillanite may chose
which wound location is healed in what order when spending blood.
-
Lillanites can survive wounds that would kill others. Unless their
head is removed, or they take an aggrevated point of damage after they
are at incapacitated they can survive it. In fact their body will
spend all the blood the vampire has automatically to heal the vampire sufficiently
to move.
-
Lillanites frighten animals whenever they are near them. The higher
the Beastial rating the more severe this fright.
-
Lillanites take extra aggrevated damage from holy objects (dependent partially
on Beastial rating). They also take aggrevated damage from Sunlight
and fire. (Lillanites take 1 health level +1 per three Beastial per minute
in direct sunlight in all exposed areas)
-
Lillanites take extra damage from any mystically pure material. (Silver,
Rowan wood etc) Touching these is usually uncomfortable and will
leave a rash. The extra damage taken is 1/2 again as much damage
as the weapon normally does.
-
Lillanites possess a family. Each
family gifts their members with a special gift however they are also cursed
with three curses a spiritual, mental and physical flaw. (This will make
more sense when you see a few examples)
-
Lillanites may create powers for themselves. They do not travel in
lines instead they act much as werecreature gifts in form (examples of
gifts might be the gift of flight, or the gift of strength (not potence
the gift of strength would have to be bought anew each time) the gift of
eagle sight, the gift of umbral travel..
-
Lillanites may create ghouls and revanants by giving their blood to a mortal.
However, there is no blood bond tying them to the vampire.
-
Lillanites do not have Cainites difficulty with the Umbra. They may
freely create powers that allow them to enter the Umbra
-
Lillanites must sleep 8 + Beastial Rating hours per 24 hours. Lillanites
suffer the same penalties a human would suffer from missing sleep.
Their Beastial rating makes them harder to Awaken add Beastial rating to
difficulties to awaken during their sleep cycle.
-
Lillanites may freely commit diablerie on any
other vampire (including Cainite) and may have diablerie committed upon
them.
-
Just a note since you asked. Vampires can engage in sexual encounters
and in fact some enjoy it but they do not have the hormonal responses but
strictly the emotional ones. They do still pleasure and enjoy touching.
Some vampires consider engaging in such activity beneath them and since
they do not have the hormonal responses find no difficulty staving off
that desire. Vampires cannot engage in this activity without at least
2 volume blood points in their system for male and it causes causes female
vampires to lose 1/4 blood volume point. It is obvious to one making
love to a vampire that they are doing so with a vampire because of body
heat and fluids considerations.
