Anya looked into Jack's eyes again. They were almost same type she had. She swallowed and took a step back, "Look, if you're here to take me back. I'm not going to go. I saw what she was doing. I don't wanna be a part of that. I am not a toy."

"Well, it all started last night," Anya grimaced. She remembered the event too well. "I was at this at this totally kickin rave," she smiled glossy eyed, "It was getting really late and i was getting tired." She sighed, "So I asked a friend to hook me up. I didn't notice at the time that he seemed more out of it than usual. He said he had some better stuff in the back. So I blindly followed him. Anything to get back out there and dance. He lead me into this room where this woman was. This woman was the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen. She looked at me, I looked at her. It was like magic. Then I fell to my knees, it was almost like she commanded me to do it." Anya paused and her voice flattened, "This is where it gets sorta squicky. I could see what she was doing. Taking off my clothes, cutting me with a bigass knife in certain places with some kind of symbols. But I couldn't feel anything or even move from my kneeling position. It was like I was dead... before I was dead. Then she sucked each symbol dry of blood. It seemed like forever. Slowly I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was dressed in what you see She was gone. The symbols were gone." She sighed again with a smile, "But I felt alive. More alive than I ever felt." She frowned, remembering what happened next, "Then I left. Over the next few hours I started getting hungry. I knew what vampires did when they got hungry, so I put it off. Then the strangest thing happened. I couldn't avoid it. I had to eat. Like had to had to. That's where I saw your friend in an alley. She was in a different form as a meek little thing. I tried to disguise myself and do it discreetly, but when she caught on she did the right thing and knocked me out. Now I'm here." She looked into Jack's eyes again. They were comforting. Comforting enough for her to tell anything. Like she just did. "And now you know."

Anya looked at the bag. She had seen these on television before. In her former life she'd been hooked up to one once or twice, but she wasn't conscious during those times. It didn't take a split-second before her fangs ripped open the soft plastic container. The blood was warm. It felt like everything she ever wanted pouring down her throat. It made everything she had tried in her former life pale in comparison. She could feel it suffusing into her undead body. It fixed her broken bones and her spine. It felt like forever for her, but it only lasted a few seconds. Wiping some of it of her cheeks with her hand and licking the excess, she stood up. "Thank you, Jack," she said looking at him with a somber tone and expression, "you saved me. I don't know if I could ever repay you for that."

Anya stared at Jack, he was gorgeous. She closed her eyes for a second and sighed when he gave her instructions. The hunger was still gnawing at her. She opened her eyes. "Jack," she mewled reaching up to him, "The only way you could help me is if you knew what I had to do. And if you knew what I had to do you wouldn't be here." She swallowed hard, "Unless you're here to finish the job your friend started."

All of a sudden, light filled the darkest depths. Anya gasped. Where would they be taking her now? She just wanted to escape this humiliating place of torture. when every thing came to, she found that her back was still broken and that she was still hungry. This was possibly still Hell, just with different scenery. The hot amazon was there, taunting her to 'be a good girl'. Anya tried to reach out for her, but she disappeared. Figured. She heard the brown demon talking to someone else before her. Another demon? What would this demon do to her? She sucked in some air (still a purely reflexive thing) and growled towards her new captor. "What do you people want from me," she screamed.

Anya smiled as the thoughts processed in the taller girl's head, she could almost taste her feast. She happily leaned forward to continue draining the girl when she heard the last words she would hear for a while. The words were followed by a sharp snap in spine and searing pain, then total darkness. When she woke up she found that she was still in the dark. Though that's about all she could see or hear. She screamed as she sat up. Her spine still broken. Was she really dead this time? Was this Hell? She was still hungry, she was absolutely famished now. She could feel her very being calling out for just a drop of blood. She wondered if she could die in Hell. Would this be her eternal punishment and torture? Would she be forever confined to die of unnatural hunger with a broken spine? She screamed in rage. A scream no one could hear.

DC 21 Will Save vs Emotion Control (despair)

Oh crap. I had to find the one of the weird ones, Anya thought as the other shapeshifter turned into something more pleasing to look at, Damn, she looks hotter than that other form. Is this the real her? Anya didn't have time to lust after the amazon. Hell, that hurt. I'm dead, i'm not supposed to feel pain. Gotta do something fast! Anya gasped for air as she was being crushed like a vice. It was weird though, she didn't feel air going into her lungs. Maybe it was one of those dead people things. She dropped back into her normal form: athletic build, black hair with red streaks, black jeans, black hoodie. Her eyes quickly turned black. "Tell me, random person on the street," she asked her prey with dulcet tones with a hint of chiding, "You're in the middle of nowhere. No one will hear you scream. No one will find your body until the morning or possibly midday. What makes you think you'll leave here conscious? What makes you think I won't drain you like a ketchup packet? You already have a hole in you, just let nature take it's course."

DC 25 Toughness, Lethal :o

The smell was intoxicating. The prey's blood was right in Anya's grasp. She was still acting the part, but her mind was raging with glee. Embracing the girl, she sobbed a bit more, "Thank you, thank you so much." Her voice cleared in an instant, "For being the prettiest snack ever." Anya sunk her fangs deep into her meal's neck, trying to find a spot where she could gorge herself. She covered the girl's mouth so she couldn't scream, but hopefully the shock would keep her from making a sound.

She bought it. Good. That buys me a little time. How do I approach this? So far the plan is make with the friendly, get her nice and comfortable, get in close and them snatch and grab. Got it? Good. Hopefully this works. Anya sighed, suppressing some fake tears, "Me and my boyfriend had and argument. I made him really mad. He, he left me here in the middle of nowhere." She sniffed hard her voice giving way, "I probably shouldn't be telling you this. You don't even know me."

The survey proved fruitful. Though the district was pretty empty this late at night, there had to be at least one straggler. Anya wondered what the girl's intentions were. Though that didn't last long as her burning desire for sustenance was still pounding on her like a monkey on her back. Assuming a mist-like form she flew over to the adjacent alley. Looking around the corner, she saw the girl was still there. Perfect. Slowly but surely she crept down the alleyway. Trying not to be seen or heard by her prey. As she got close she saw that the girl was absolutely stunning. This wouldn't be a hamburger. No, this would be a fine steak. And a fine steak needed to be savored, not attacked. Anya changed her clothes to look like the girl's attire, jeans and a Freedom Angel t-shirt. Well, not an exact replica, but something the prey would be more comfortable with. Her hair was now short and red, and her eyes green. She affected somewhat of a more curvy build. "Are you here for the convention too," Anya slowly walked out from her hiding place feigned stuttering in a scared-but-trying-to-act-not-scared manner.

So yeah

Date: ? It's been exactly 24 hours since I was ravaged by that woman. She wanted to make me into one of her unwitting servants. I don't want to be some slave to some damn vampire! Yeah, that's right, vampire. She made me undead, you see. I'm not really alive, I'm not really dead. I live off the fluids of the living, like a tick. That said, I'm getting mighty hungry. I've suppressed the hunger for a few hours. But it's getting to me. Every person I pass by looks like a giant hamburger or hot dog. I want to grab one and sink my teeth in to them and suck them dry. That's why I'm here, lying on this roof top, looking at the stars. To control myself. To not give in. But what if I starve to death? Where would that leave me? Where would that leave the crazy bitch? I can't just die. She'll win. Anya sat up and survey the city scene from the rooftop.

Synesthesia is the state where your senses involuntarily cross. You can smell how someone looks or hear how they smell. What I'm asking, is there a way to make one sense double as another? Particularly olfactory for visual and auditory.

few changes: dropped defense by 6 and attack by 1. gained one more rank of attack focus and 6 ranks of dodge focus. added uncanny dodge (olfactory). Pulled the Strike out of the array (left the healing as it's a vampire power) and put back in the Concealment. By the way, I originally planned for Concealment to be a derivative of Morph, but when I learned about "vampire disciplines" that's the only thing i could think of.

Dropped the obfuscate power. Changed the telepathy power. Equals 150.

According to the book, drawbacks can either be used every four adventures (uncommon), every other adventure (common) or every adventure (very common). There's also the randomness option of rolling to see if your drawback comes up. Very common is DC 5, common is DC 10, and uncommon is DC 15. So my question is: how do we deal with this here, random or predetermined?

Some of the powers are traditional, others take some story justification. She has succubus in her lineage. That would explain the Morph and the Telepathy. The Insubstantial /Flight is gaseous form, a regular vampire power. Enhanced Strength/Super-Strength is the undead potence. Emotion Control is another succubus thing. I think Mind Control is a bit much. Concealment can only be described as "Obfuscate". I will elaborate if you need. Strike/Healing is not an actual power, it's her biting and sucking. I do wish to move this away from the array. I took some of your advice and gave her blood healing and blood regeneration. I talked to you in chat about why she doesn't have Drain Constitution (yet). Impervious Toughness seems superfluous.

Power Level: 10 (151/152) Trade-Offs: None Unspent PP: 1 Gold Status: 2/30 Alternate Identity: Anya Alessi Age: 20 (born May 1990; Apparent Age 20) Gender: Female Height: 5'5" Weight: 130 lb. Eyes: purple Hair: black with red streaks Description: Anya has the toned body of a dancer. Her hair is long reaching the top of her back, and she has some tiny braids all though out it. Her eyes are an unusual shade due to her tranformation, but it does make her look more alluring. Her skin is fair and unblemished. Her type of dress is more mute than in her former life, wearing black to blend in with everything. History: (credit goes to Starsign for turning my ideas into something readable) Anya Alessi was born in a small area of Kingston. Her life wasn't much different from other kids her age. While she would talk to people, she never really opened up, like she didn't feel alive. All that changed one day in high school. She met this strange woman who simply passed by her, dropping a flier on the ground next to her. The flier showed a rave that night. People enjoying life there, urging people to come in. It sparked Anya's interest, and that night she came into another world. She felt free, her mind opened, felt alive. It was what she was looking for. After that night, she felt guilty, seeing what was happening there. However one day, she saw the woman again, this time on the other side of the street, dropping another flier to a rave. This time Anya followed her heart. She embraced the culture, the life it gave, everything. She managed to graduate from high school, if barely. She couldn't go back to the life she once had, the raves we're everything to her now, even if she was disgusted by what she saw and did herself. Her stockbroker parents could care less about what their daughter was doing those nights, supplying her with cash to pay for her excess. As she continued partying, she had lost her zest of vitality that she felt when she first partied, but life was all good for her... Until that night. She was past her normal time there, but wanted to get on the floor for a bit longer. However, this time her dealer seemed a bit... off to her. She followed him back to a woman who had "better stuff than that man." She entered a room away from all the others to see that the strange woman was the one who "dropped" those fliers in the first place. Anya realized too late that she walked to her death as she was knocked to the ground and felt her blood giving away as she fell unconscious. As she awoke and pulled herself off of the floor Anya saw her pale reflection in a nearby mirror. Though she tried to deny it, every fiber of her being screamed the truth. To her horror, she had become a creature of the night, a vampire, sired by the woman she believed her new hookup. Rummaging frantically through documents strewn about the room Anya identified the woman as Lilith Bathory, a descendant of Elizabeth Bathory. She also gleamed rudimentary knowledge of Lilith's plan to blanket the world in undeath with an army of vampires bound to her will through necromantic magic. Anya wondered why she was alone. When she peeked out of the area they were keeping her in, she found out! It looked like a huge battle. A horrifically bloody scene where vampires were ripping and tearing each other apart. Lilith looked like she was pitting one group against another. Was she doing this for fun? Was she being invaded by rival vampires? Anya didn't know. What she did know is that she had to get out of there fast. While Lilith was preoccupied with her war, Anya made her escape. Anya felt awful about what she saw, what she did, and what she became during those times at the raves, more so than ever before. She wanted to stop Lilith and her army from being finished and assaulting the city. Personality & Motivation: Her personality can be described in two word: Perky Goth. Her motivation is simple. She looks to stop Lilith's rise to power. She will pay back unto her everything she took from her. She will try to save many lives in the process. She will do what she has to do. Powers & Tactics: Anya has quite a few powers. Being undead helps her stave off the things that mortals need. She also has fangs, claws and undead flesh to protect herself. Though the really impressive powers are in her undead nature. She can change into anyone, read minds, control emotions, turn invisible or into a gaseous cloud. There's even a few tricks she hasn't learned! Her tactics are to be as sneaky as possible and hit them where it hurts. her powers aid her in this, but she's learned a few tricks ovr the years to be a force on her own. Complications: Enemy (Lilith Bathory) Dependence (Blood) In Brief: Anya has been given a new lease on life with the gift of undeath.

I'd say at least hit defensive caps. It doesn't really matter if you can do anything, but it's no fun to be knocked out in one or two hits.
