D doesnt shower, bathe, brush his teeth (he as automated cleansing teeth), sweat, faint, sleep, exhaust, or dumbstruct.
I know I'm replying to an old post, but I just felt the need too.
He does faint and get exhausted.
The fainting is shown in Bloodlust, and it is due to something D can't control.
((Ref. Demon Deathchase, pgs 124-135))
'Having ridden hard for about two miles, D veered off the road and into the forrest. A horrendous torpor was sweeping over him. It was the s
unlight syndrome, a condition unique to dhampirs. Inheriting half or more of a vampire's characteristics as they did, dhampirs could move about day without concern, but that was not without its drawbacks.
While they remained oblivious, a tenacious form of fatigue was building up in their half-immortal flesh from the merciless rays of the sun. For dhampirs working as Hunters, the most dreaded aspect of this affliction was that the symptoms manifested without warning in the
sudden feeling of exhaustion and ever-increasing lassitude.'
Also... he does sweat, but its rare. As far as I've gone in the novels, I've only seen it once.
**Spoilers if you haven't read Pale Fallen Angel parts three and four**(Ref. Pale Fallen Angel part 3 page 84)
'Though his gorgeous face had lost what little color it normally had, not a hint of pain lingered on it as D cut open the left side of his chest. Fresh blood gushed out. Merely furrowing his brow a bit, D coolly held the knife, slicing a cross into his chest and then sticking his right hand in through the opening.
Each flower left a bloody trail behind as it was pulled out, and ten minutes later, they numbered a half-dozen.
Covered with a thin sweat, D gave the knife a small flick to clean off the beads of blood before ordering in a low voice, "Show yourself." '
Yeah, I know its not surprising,after all, who would expect him to not be sweating at least a little after that?
It keeps me interested... I mean, yes D is amazing. He's really powerful, but its the little things like this that show us that he does feel pain. He even says it in The Rose Princess I think.. though I'm not going to quote it....
Well, sorry for my little rant. >.<;;
