"It is all right if you are afraid of me. Most sissies are. Hey, why don't you ride your girl bike home and put on your sundress? You'll be sooo pretty." Lyssic
The Vampire:
For many years now I have loosely used WoD Malkavians to give shape to Lyssic’s vampirism. To me its a tad more realistic and a hell of allot more fun. So having used WoD vampires as a basis this is what eventually came out of it.
The exact stats given are more of a guideline and here is the description of how she works.
Oh and by the way; don’t bitch at me because she’s not acting like one. Cheers.
Also note of importance; she may have (powerful) abilities but I rarely have her use them unless it gives a plot twist and consent of said players. I will approach with my ideas (or if you whispered me about it) before I consider even using them.
The Feeding:
She has learned that when one is cautious of the manner they act, they can survive longer between feeding.This is still something she hasn’t adjusted to – for she enjoys the feel of blood tricking down her throat.
The experience of The Kiss; aka the feeding, can be compared to ecstasy, some people can get addicted to it.Entirely your choice. If it’s not mentioned that its pleasurable you can assume that it is unless stated otherwise.
Would be odd to consider having ones throat ripped out pleasurable, no?
The Effects
• M O R T A L S
Feeding from a mortal is pretty much a given considering this is how she survives. In most cases the bite itself can be compared to ecstasy. Addictive, which in her case is a preferable reaction. It means for possible future feeds without the need to ‘hunt’.
• V A M P I R E S
The pleasurable effect takes no hold on other vampires or herself. There is a risk of addiction, for the blood is potent even to her.
• W E R E W O L V E S
They experience the pleasures of the Kiss like that of a mundane mortal, however the potency of the blood is much more ‘nutritious’ and far more risky on her anger-management. The effect on her lasts for a few nights.
• O T H E R Magical Creatures
From Mages to the Sin-eaters, all have a variety of effects. From hallucinations to addictions to mall-nourishment. There are just a few Lyssic simply wont touch due to the effects of their blood.
The Attributes:
Physical:
Nothing special there in earnest but as stated before you can compare her nimble behavior to be quite athletic. And despite being ballerina thin she can handle allot. Allot of drinking without getting drunk, allot of beatings before finally breaking. Above average when it comes to ‘handling’ things physically for a long time.
Social:
A charmer, manipulator and quite a looker don’t you agree? She’d lull anyone into a false sense of security with her charming wits and manipulative manner. But, despite having such attributes she can be socially awkward. Morality tends to get in her way.
Mental:
She has a keen eye, sharp intellect and a silver tongue. But her mind is a screwed up nut-job. She can easily turn over her mood like a flick of a switch or succumb to mental instigation's. At times due to her derangement's she could get a bit sensitive due to being overloaded.
The Disciplines:
You can compare them to being blood-based mystical skills. So there isn't an endless supply to being able to use them. She uses her own blood to work the magic; limiting the use so to speak, however when draining herself through use of these powers she can be dangerous. Due to becoming hungrier, verging on a frenzy – this being a mindless act of attaining blood, no control what so ever. She’s thankful that she doesn't rely on these to get what she wants.
Note of importance: Again I don’t use them unless they ‘add’ to the story and have willing players that give consent.

Merits, Flaws, Derangement's & Weaknesses:
Naturally there are aspects that offer a quirk to this loony-bin. These are the Pros and Cons,
the derangement's and weaknesses. So here they are listed for your pleasure.

Merits
- Acute Senses: This is comparable to heightened senses finally tuned.
- Calm Heart: She still retains a beating hart, better yet it never changes in its pace.
- Unbondable: Thankful to her sire she can not be bound to another vampire.
Flaws
- Nightmares: When she sleeps through the day she only has nightmares.
- Can’t cross running water: Self explanatory - she just can’t.
- Light Sensitive: Sudden changes of dark to light will leave her blind for a few moments.
Derangement's
- Synesthesia: A tricky derangement that’s hard to explain, triggered when immensely stressed. For her it’s a more verbal and visual sensory defect that makes her sound absolutely stupid. For example, she is aiding to defuse a bomb (which she can’t but sake of example) and is shouting ‘Cut the apple wire!” instead of ‘Cut the red wire!”. See?
- Masochism: She somehow always puts herself into a painful situation, physically and mentally. Disappointments and insofar torture (which she endures oddly enough), there is now moral boundaries to this. As in she’d take others with her for the sake of it.
Weaknesses
- Sunlight: A typical weakness, but in truth a most devastating one. The older she gets the faster she’ll turn
to dust when standing in any rays of sunlight. It will only take a minute or two for her.
- Fire: This instills fear, to the point that she’d avoid it at all cause. If there isn’t a choice she’ll swallow her
pride big-time. Its not as bad as some of her other Kindred whom would run at the sight of a fire-lit candle.
