Special

You are a Vampire! Usually the terror of dark, stormy nights, this time you're working for the Syndicate and tasked with terrorizing the NSS Cyberiad. Your objectives will mirror those of regular traitors, except for the task of obtaining a certain amount of blood from living crew. Avoid anything to do with the Chaplain, particularly holy water, and good luck!

Starting Out

When you start out as a Vampire you have aboslutely zero usable blood and very few abilities. You are more or less on the same footing as any other crew member, as your starting abilities are very situational. You start out with Rejuvenate, Glare, and Hypnotize.

• Hypnotize you won't be able to use until you've drained some blood, but it provides a short stun.
• Glare only works for a few seconds, which is nowhere near enough to drain someone's blood.
• Rejuvenate has a short cooldown, making it only useful for removing a single stun in most encounters.

In other words your abilities are good to escape from a situation and not much else. To actually acquire usable blood you will need to rely on your wits.

Your First Victim

Acquiring your first victim is often very difficult. Here is a sample method:

• Make some cable cuffs/a stun prod.
• Glare your preferred target (or use a stunprod).
• Tie them up, and remove their headset.
• Drag them off and drain them of their blood!

After that you can use some of your more advanced abilities to get more victims.

Sucking Blood

• Make sure you're targeting the head.
• The victim can't be wearing any mask, or headgear.
• Make sure you're on harm intent, and attack with an empty hand.
• You will continue to suck blood until you move away from the victim, cover your mouth with anything in the mask slot, or grab your target.

Sucking blood from a living person causes clone damage, blood loss, and oxygen deprivation.

NOTE:Slime people, Dionae, and Plasmamen cannot have blood stolen as they do not have blood, make sure to remember this so you don't end up risking your cover only to bite into nothing.

0	Glare	30 Seconds	0	You glare, causing any adjacent targets to be immediately stunned for a short period of time.
0	Hypnotize	3 Minutes	20	You stare deeply into a target's eyes, causing them to be hypnotized. Takes a couple seconds and provides a brief stun.
100	Shapeshift	3 Minutes	50	Randomizes your identity, much like a DNA scrambler.
100	Vampiric Vision	NONE	0	Provides permanent thermal vision.
150	Diseased Touch	3 Minutes	100	Infects someone with Shutdown Syndrome, and mimics the "help" intent shake when used.

250	Shadowstep	5 Seconds	30	Teleports you to the nearest shadow.
300	Mist Form	1 Minute	30	Identical to wizard's Phase Shift spell, turns you non-corporeal for a moment.
300	Enthrall	3 Minutes	300	Turns a victim into your loyal mindslave. Beware: doesn't work instantly like an implanter!
500	Full Power	NONE	0	Chapel no longer causes you harm or blocks your abilities (but not the Chaplain himself, so be careful). Permanent X-Ray Vision.

Notes

• DON'T STEP FOOT ANYWHERE NEAR SPACE. Space operates much the same as the chapel, and will cause you to spontaneously combust and subsequently die even if you've reached final form.
• Drinking from dead bodies will only raise your total blood count and will not provide you with any usable blood, and drains at a rate of 5 units per cycle, rather than 10.
• Humanized monkeys are able to have their blood drained, regular or simple mobs (non-humanized monkeys, mice, etcetera) are unable to have their blood drained.
• Blood from containers (glasses, etc) does not count towards either your blood count total, or your usable blood.
• Once you enthrall someone, they are permanently bound to your will. There are no known methods to remove enthrallment, save death.

Lore

An entity that lives in bluespace, and is known to take control of a body as it approaches death. The "soul" is replaced with this entity, who inherits the memories and personality of the body via it's brain.

Able to suck the life force on others, it gains power from this, allowing the entity greater influence over reality from bluespace.

Such presence also gives it vulnerabilities to psychic phenomena, such as waters blessed by the faithful, or the light of stars.

It is illegal to be a vampire, and they are subsequently treated the same as changelings, or regular syndicate agents. Template:Jobs
