Unless the lore team explicitly says a bit of flavor text on an item (or the item itself) is not canon, I treat it as canon -- simply because at that point, the game is the most reliable source for that information; much more reliable than anything, or any opinion that had nothing to do with the development. If it's written in the game -- canon until proven otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty, of a sort.Â
I'd much rather go with a 'Lol this fish is a peen fish' bit of flavor text than a player telling me that this fish cannot be a peen fish because some of the flavor text is joking. If that is the case, then I will acknowledge the joking ones as such when, and only when the people who write the lore for the game confirm that is the case. Not to the subjective reasoning of people who have a particular way of looking at a game's lore and flavor in order to craft their style of roleplay.Â
As for the vampire thing; observe the qualities of the vampire mentions in the text Sounsyy showed us, and come up with a concept that incorporates those qualities. There's no need to play Lestat, naturally. A simple Thaumaturge who believes he needs to drink blood to extend his own aether reserves or something like that. Make a venn diagram of what the game's lore is, what you want to play, and what you know a vampire to be. Construct your concept out of the space where all three circles intersect. After that, it's all about your presentation!
