Revision as of 20:14, 28 September 2021

THIS IS A DRAFT PAGE. IF THINGS ARE WRONG OR HARD TO UNDERSTAND @ ME ON DISCORD.
Or, you can edit it yourself, I don't mind, just leave good summaries.


TO DO:

  • Need to decide and standardize on a single tense. Mixing up tenses and tones ain't good.

Going to continue trying the Simple Present Tense, but honestly I'll probably drop the style for clarity down the line and go with a proper wiki "professional" format. <-- Listen to your past self bud, clean this shit up.

  • Take out all my notes (these ones included)
  • Add in a paragraph between default and class powers explaining how choosing a class works, as well as some overview on classes. (also make it look pretty, should ask someone good at formatting)
  • Explain briefly the new nullification and explain that being on fire costs blood



ANTAGONIST

Superiors: ???
Difficulty: Hard
Guides: This is not yet the guide (but will be one day).
Access: Anywhere your powers can take you.
Duties: Complete your objectives, drink blood, become an unholy monster.


Antagonist


(Woj's lore blurb as placeholder) Vampires are certain individuals who have been granted power by their inducting Lord. Said power always comes at a price, however, and lesser vampires are often given tasks to fulfill in exchange for it. These tasks can vary significantly, and their nature is often as unknowable as the true nature of the Lords and the mysterious cabals formed by some of them.

Vampires possess abilities to drain and manipulate life essence from the blood of sapient beings, shortening the lifespan of the victim by years while empowering themselves with newfound strength.

This power is not without consequence; vampires acquire a vital weakness to areas, objects, and individuals of spiritual strength. Strong belief is poison to them - sanctified sites, holy water, fire, and starlight all spell doom for a vampire. Even a strong superstition can be harmful, as evidenced by their aversion towards garlic.

Vampires are considered a threat to colonies and stations across known space. Recognized as inherently criminal by all major states and companies in the galaxy, they are also classified as Enemies of the Corporation by Nanotrasen.


Starting Out

When you start out as a Vampire you have absolutely zero usable blood and two abilities. Using Glare can stun and silence, with the effect varying depending on their orientation to you, and Rejuvenate will clear all stuns. However after drinking a total of 150 blood, you gain access to 4 unique and mutually exclusive skill trees, with increasingly powerful abilities tailored to various play styles. Eventually, drink 1,000u of blood from at least 8 different people and rise to your full power gaining an extremely powerful class-unique power, as well as immunity to holy water, the chapel, and improved night vision. Become a blood-fueled emissary of death and destruction!

Fighting Vampires

While vampires are very powerful entities, they are not without weaknesses. The two most notable are Faith and Fire.

  • Vampires are have a deadly weakness to fire, and being on fire will drain their strength over time.
  • Vampiric abilities can be nullified, which increases the blood cost of powers; Nullification scales all the way to 100 at which Vampires cannot use any abilites. A Chaplain's Null Rod or holy water apply nullification.
  • Ingesting holy water will cause vampires to vomit some of their stored blood, drain some of their stamina, and increase their total nullification.
  • Vampires will burst into flames upon entering a chapel.

If a vampire attains full power: They gain full immunity to nullification, holy water, and can freely enter holy sites. Fire will no longer drain their blood supply and they have gained extremely powerful abilities.

Miscellaneous Tips

(im shoving all the misc shit here until I can decide on format and flow)

  • Keeping track of what powers a vampire has and when they can use them is critical
  • Make sure a vampire has already used their rejuvenate before you cuff them or they'll quickly turn the tables
  • Glare has no effect if the vampire is blindfolded
  • Vampires can still glare you when they are stunned! Its will only last for 1 second, but it will prevent you from cuffing them.
