-I HAVE FAILED YOU- 'I AM SORRY' SANGUI COMMON KNOWLEDGE: Quiet recluse around humans, far more open and familial towards fellow vampires, particularly with increasing familiarity. CURRENT GOALS: protecting those closest to him— without fail, this time. REPUTATION: NA CURRENTLY DESIRED RP/HOOKS: 。moments of brief understanding or breakthroughs regarding kindness, compassion, humanity, etc | on the flipside, disagreements about any of these things also = A+ chef's kiss. 。vampire cool kids club only intermingling, no humans allowed 。digging into the differences between human/vampire emotional responses as he knows them 。calming him down when he inevitably goes off the rails; just some real Spirited Away style drama pls OOC PERMISSION DETAILS FIGHTING: 100% yes. Dettlaff, however, has trouble backing off once a fight's started, though, so be aware of that. INJURY: totally fine, just oocly hit me up if you want to discuss something more major, a la an injury that healing magic and/or time would not be able to fix. DEATH: let’s talk about it first. ROMANCE while he's entirely capable of it, his version of love is far more devoted than its human counterpart: think of it like something immovable, eternal, persistent, etc, even if the other party isn't as invested. Because of this, please reach out to me if you'd like to potentially have something like this develop just so we can oocly work out comfort levels, etc. (**I will always warn if things look as though he's going to feel a glimmer of something, and it's ok if things just happen to develop in a romantic fashion so don't let this spook you. I just want to be sure we're OOCly on the same page about what love is for Dettlaff personally and whether that's something you OOCly feel cool with, blablabla, he knows no half-measures) PDA: generally skittish of it, not so with a devoted partner or someone trusted RP PREFERENCES: prose or brackets are fine, please understand that I’ll put effort into all of my tags, but if some are short it’s not a result of your writing in any way. Sometimes a few sentences and some dialogue serve a thread better as a segue than to try and pad stuff out re: my own writing. Please please communicate with me if you have any frustrations, concerns or wants at any time: all my contact info is here and I’ll gladly direct threads however is needed to ensure everyone has a good time, but I can’t do that blindly, so anything you feel— even negative— bring it up even if it’s a ghost of a thought. I don’t judge. Ever. (I just want us to have fun together, ok) ABILITIES (SANGUI SPECIFIC) Shark teeth: Instead of normal teeth, vampires gain sharp rows of retractable teeth. This allows them to feed quickly and viciously; they are able to be interrupted, can fight back without being weakened, and fight with their teeth. However, it makes stealthy killings almost impossible-- Jesus, that horrible crunching noise-- and all feedings result in death for the human. day walker: Vampires with the Daywalker ability can pass as human and are impervious to sunlight. However, night or day, Daywalker vampires cannot enter any dwelling without an invitation. They have no special charm in order to convince people to let them in. Entering a dwelling without permission will cause them to break out in burns, and if they don't leave in five minutes it will result in death. night senses: Vampires with Night Senses have incredible senses of sight and hearing, able to predict where people are behind walls, hear heartbeats, catch micro-expressions and sense lies. However, this makes them extremely vulnerable to light-- candle flames cause headaches, and the pain only gets worse from there. EXTRA LIKES: Rhena, Regis, other vampires, some fucking peace and quiet, generosity, selflessness, trusted companionship, emotional transparency DISLIKES: hypocrisy, cruelty for cruelty's sake, human society in general, unnecessary excess, bloodlust
