THIS IS A DRAFT PAGE. IF THINGS ARE WRONG OR HARD TO UNDERSTAND @ ME ON DISCORD.
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)
- ADD SPRITES

(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 will 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!
