i think thats the point lol im not gonna shout hey im a vamp love me to everyone i see its more of the plausibility of a what if situation. if they existed how would it be implemented? in real life myth they're descended from demons or Cain himself, anime has them without usual weaknesses like in A Certain Magical Index so i wanna see how it could work in ff14. Dracula also means son of the dragon so could there be a connection to dragons if we were to change the lore around? thats what im mostly looking for. story ideas and exploring lore not outright stamping it out lol That's the problem. You can't/shouldn't change the lore around to suit your needs. You can bend it, but this bending should be very graceful. The dragons in the game are not your typical dragons of lore and should not be viewed as such. how else could i bend it tho? thats why i wanted the first ones to be a nature spirit in a human body that was the progenitor of it. and it doesnt have to be dragons i was merely illustrating the many interpretations beyond vampires being demonic in origin. hell in True Blood God is believed to be a vampire lol hydaelyn has some explaining to do

i'd also like to point out that Thancred has been in Ul'dah for 20 years and hasnt aged a day based on flash backs lol someone get the holy water

All that jazz about holy water, sunlight, and the cross, that's just silly superstition! We'll stick to stakes, decapitation, and fire, and maybe the whole sleeping in the soil of their homeland thing. i like the sleeping in the soil idea. gives a more naturey vibe to it

im just looking for feedback and alternatives to how to incorporate my character's story. i liked the idea of manipulating nature spirits since it diverts from the usual pacts with demonic spirits as the origin or vampirism and the rp is mostly for me and my friends. i just wanted to see whats possible with magical creations based on what we know so far

lol i will petition with you i like werewolves as well and would make a monsters FC. hell in Dragon age someone made werewolves by subverting a nature spirit and putting it into a wolf which is where i got my inspiration for this from

I actually play a Void-touched Keeper of the Moon, and while that's a nice way to explain the character avoiding the sun, I think the bigger issue here is that the character laid out doesn't really have weaknesses. i put fire and their primary weakness. and i guess the usual decapitation and stake to the heart shouldve included that oops. didnt wanna put sunlight as a weakness since that had more to do with religious superstition since sun is holy and vamps are "unholy" along with crosses etc etc Fire's not exactly a primary weakness. Everybody's weak to fire. A vampire weak to fire and a human are the same. Fire kills both of them. Decapitation and stakes to the heart are methods of killing them, not weaknesses. Sunlight is an actual weakness, as it's something only vampires are weak to. dont take away my ability to sun tan in la noscea T_T nuuuuuuuu. and yes everyone's weak to fire but there's things with more aversion to it. like a grass pokemon lol maybe they could die quicker from fire attacks than a normal person would? like people could survive Flare but my character wouldnt

the allagans beat gods into submission already and the elementals made the padjal so they have some ability to create a race that doesnt age and could potentially be abused and corrupted by humans. and they are tangible they help u fight a tainted sprite in a quest and the enemy spirtes are corrupted lesser elementals

i hope in November the Void Ark opens and the mages inside try to drain us and we need culinarians to make dishes with garlic lol

there was a vampire lord in the original final fantasy as well as the job in bravely default which acts like blue mage

i thought they did take from the environment no? or at least borrow aether which is how it can b abused harmfully

In that case, I'm gonna RP a Saiyan as a monk. Can't say it doesn't exist 'cause it's a big world out there 8-) not really much of a stretch when there's demons and gods running around. and hey why not maybe you were sent to hydaelyn as a baby lol

they dont exist as far as we kno 8-) until a few months ago there weren't scaly horned people with speculated demonic origin. plus its a big world out there

alright so hear me out im a huge fan of vampires and other supernatural beings and would like to come up with ways to rp in a lore friendly way and incorporate that into my character who's a hyur so here goes Origin of vampirism: My idea was the first vamp(s) to have been magic users who either forced an elemental into submission or maybe it was a mutual union to protect the environment (still working this part out or could use it as a distorted legend passed down over time) and the results of said union created something beyond human but still flesh and blood Abilities: manipulation of nature/ aether in general so jobs would include whm/blm/nin/mnk/maybe pld tho with different applications of how the magic/abilities are used. all magic comes from casters body but since they're immortal it's not life threatening. Feeding: Must consume external aether to replenish body. This can be done Cnj style and just take from the environment or for more practical and less primal-esque destructive means and drain a person's aether through their blood, the elementals would probably prefer second method since humans suck (no pun intended) Weaknesses: Fire would be a huge one and things like sunlight would just be superstition encouraged by vamps to deceive the public and blend in
