Blood
Vampires need blood to thrive, not really survive. It is the difference between looking and feeling healthy and barely being able to move while looking like a shriveled up raisin. To stay healthy a vampire must consume at least 8oz every day. It is possible to drink more if desired as well as less if required.
A vampire can go two days without any blood so long as they drank well before the fasting started. They cannot, however, go more than two weeks without starting to feel the hunger. At a month a vampire is weak and probably won't be able to catch prey. Longer than that and the vampire's body starts to go into starvation mode until they wrinkle up and become practically immobile.
Hunger is easy enough to ignore, but if the vampire feasts on a live being after two weeks of no blood, they will probably go into blood lust and drain the body. The vampire must then be careful about drinking more blood than their body can handle.
Too much blood and the vampire's body won't be able to take it all. As a quick means of disposal the vampire's body might force itself to throw up the unneeded blood. If there is only a little too much blood, the vampire will cry tears of blood though they do not realize they're crying. This can be a very startling scene if any non-vampire should come across it. And even if they know what is happening, they will think the vampire a monster even if the vampire could not help the situation that occurred.
Vampires these days try to live rather normal lives. They drink donated blood packets from banks specific for vampire consumption. The vampires that still drink straight from a body either have the person's consent or cannot afford the blood packets and is, essentially, stealing straight from the source. If caught these thieves will be put in jail and possibly killed if the jury of vampire peers deem it.
If the vampire happens to have a source that consents to being fed off of, the vampire should limit their intake in one sitting. They don't want to cause the person any illness. This relationship should not be taken lightly, though. Much like with humans and sex, the drinking of blood is kind of intimate. This should only be done with someone that the vampire trusts and who trusts the vampire. (Thieves get around this using hypnosis.) Also, be wary of illness as a vampire can obtain a disease through blood and temporarily have to deal with the symptoms. (24hours at least.)
Vampires should NEVER drink from other vampires. There is little point to it as the first vampire's body is already making use of the blood it consumed. If another vampire tries to ingest the blood from another there will be nothing for the new vampire to work with. They will end up getting ill for a while depending on how much they drink. The illness is called Blood Death. The vampire becomes weak and it's body acts as if it's full and will not let the vampire consume any new blood. They will also run a high fever. There is currently no known cure as the taboo has mostly died out and thus there was no need to find a cure. It is not a death sentence, but it can last long enough that the vampire starts to shrivel up. The Blood Death has to run its course before the vampire can drink again.
Another word of caution on the consumption of blood, there are aliens out there, as we all know, and not all of their blood has been sampled. It is best to not drink from an alien as we do not know how a vampire's body might react to it. It could be deadly.
Also, don't drink from zombies. That just doesn't make sense.
Safe sources of blood consumption: human, lycans (be weary of reptile-lycans as their blood might not be warm), fae (but good luck finding a willing body!)
A vampire is capable of eating food like anyone else, but it won't sustain them. Still, it's nice to be able to enjoy a meal with family and friends, especially during the holidays.
Myths and Facts
Sunlight does not kill a vampire. It merely stings. Since a vampire's body is all but dead, it cannot protect itself from the sun's UV rays. A vampire doesn't tan or burn, but they certainly feel like they're being burnt. At first the pain is merely like someone has slapped the vampire's whole body. After a few hours the pain is like touching a hot skillet. It only gets worse from there but a vampire would get out of the sun by then.
Garlic is nasty and can make a vampire retch, but won't harm them. Anything with too pungent a smell will repel a vampire as they can /really/ smell it.
Crosses, churches, or holy water is no big deal. Honestly, this was a stupid myth. Who thought of this?
A steak through the heart or chopping off the head is the only way to kill a vampire. You have to sever the brain and the heart.
Vampires do not stop aging until their bodies reach 25-30 years in appearance. Scientists have guess this is because it is the peak of human developement. After 30-years-old the body starts to deteriorate in small degrees. The vampire breed cannot die of old age and thus it's body is kept from decaying. xxVampires do age very slowly, though; one year of growth to every five of a human's. This means that though a vampire may appear to be 20, they might actually be 27 or even 30. xxIt is quite torturous until the vampire stops aging and no longer has to worry about looking "too young". This is why it is frowned upon to turn anyone younger than 25. It is illegal to turn anyone below 18 in more recent years.
Tattoos are not perminate on a vampire unless they use a special ink. The ink is really expensive and used only in the deep underground. It might also kill a vampire if the mixture is too strong. It is advisable not to try to get a tattoo.
A vampire's hair grows fast because their whole body is technically dead thus it is not surprising to see a vampire with long hair. To maintain hair it must be cut every week.
The viewability of hickies or bruises and how quickly one heals depends on when a vampire has last fed. If it occurs within a few hours, the proof is gone before anything can really show. (This is because fresh blood is pumping through the system and can heal any wounds as it goes.) If it is 12 hours or more then it is healed within the day, no matter how bad the wound or how strong the hickie. If the vampire has been denied blood for more than a few days, a bruise won't even form but all wounds will lie open.
Magic
Vampires are lucky enough to have magic. Simply by being or becoming one, a vampire has magic in Night, Shadow, and Lunar areas. Then if they have the talent, with teaching and practice, a vampire can also learn magic in four other elements; Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. They will be strongest with the element they are most attuned with (probably matches their personality). It is hard to find the magic within themselves without a guide.
Remember that all magic takes a piece of you with it and you should not cast too much in one go. Be sparing in your use of magic.
Night HAS TO BE PERFORMED DURING THE NIGHT - influences weather and animal patterns Shadow Illusion, blinding, skulking, mirage, hypnotization Lunar Influenced by the moon, similar to water magic with the exception of allowing illumination Fire Typical fire-welding stuff - produce flames, heat, and light Earth Typical earth-welding stuff - create rocks, raise mountain, make plants grow Air Typical air-welding stuff - blast wind, breeze, and sometimes can influence weather Water Typical water-welding stuff - produce rain, rivers, waves, any form of precipitation.
Questions/Answers The joys of being mostly vampire.
Would the she crave blood from the moment she crawled out of her bowl, or is there a certain age that the cravings would start? xxxYes. A bit like a baby needs milk, both her and her sister will need blood. (Or like a vampire freshly converted.) She will be fed a small amount (an ounce or two) every few hours much like one would any baby with milk.
Will her aging appear to be slower than her brother's? Does she show her age as slowly as a full-vampire, or would being part Choveckites alter the normal process? xxxHer and her sister will age just a bit slower. Thanks to the Choveckite blood she won't take quite so long to grow up, but she will still always look younger than her brother. Her twin will age at the same rate as her, but their baby brother might be initially mistaken as the older of the litter.
Would Shay or Tomas sit down and explain to the kids the first time or two why only Liam, Rebecca, and their male litter mate need to go with Tomas? xxxYes, the two will take the time to explain most things to the kids. xxxShay probably won't say much but will do his best to make the times when the rest of the family are gone special for the vampire children. How so, will depend on the personality of all the children. Otherwise this scene can be something RP'd if the owner of the oldest twin so desires. I'm totally up for it!
About what age would the middle child start being able to use Night, Shadow, and Lunar magics? And about when would they have the ability to use the other elemental magics? Do they feel it within themselves instinctively or is it more mental? xxxVampires are magic by nature, and innately work with Shadow, Lunar, and Night magic (aka their hypnotization is a form of innate Shadow magic)- HOWEVER, they can't really control it with, like, spells or what have you unless they've been trained. Most of their magic is used on a reflex basis and isn't usually all that refined. For example, Shay can sort of blend into the darkness of the night when he wants to - a muscle-like reflex with Shadow magic and if he's distracted it can dissipate. With training a vampire can LITERALLY disappear into the night - nothing can sense them and they can maintain it until they release the spell. xxxThe elemental magic is RARE for vampires. They have to meet certain standards BEFORE AND AFTER they're changed. A standard, that for this round, Chibi and I decided the twins did not meet. (Since twins should be rare, giving one or both magic talents would be crossing into absurdity.) xxxAs for the age of when it start showing up, the basic vampire magic will probably show rather soon, but not something dangerous to deal with.
Would you say they're more likely to discover the elemental magic in later adult years through training, or is it something they might innately know they have at a young age? xxxI think it's something that they, or someone with magic knowledge, might know or notice from a young age. It will probably be something they might feel or wonder about, but not anything they would pay attention to/can use until a teacher helps them. Faye or Faelnirv (Chibi's fairies) will be able to sense the magic in the child and can tell them and their family.
Do vampires sleep? Or need to sleep? xxxThey don't need to sleep but most chose to at certain times. They also might sleep as a ways of waiting for their body to heal from either too much physical labor or an actual battle. They could stay awake for it, but it helps time go by faster. xxxThe only time they actually need to sleep is when they've exhausted their selves with too much use of their magic. (If they have any. Limit would depend on their training, I think.) xxxMost vampires sleep during the daytime because the sun hurts and why bother being awake if you can't do anything? A vampire with a group of non-vampire friends/family might sleep at night to seem normal to their companions. Or they might not sleep at all. Either way they make sure that they are available during the day for their friends & family. xxxShay usually chooses to sleep during the day because the club he works at doesn't open until sunset, but if Tomas is home he might switch to sleep while Tomas does if he has the time off from the club or a late shift he will wake up for a few hours later. xxxThough, admittedly, these days Shay usually doesn't sleep.

Morphing Ability
Choveckites are not, in fact, humanoid in nature. Their humanoid appearance is only achieved after years of dedication and practice. In truth, the Choveckites are a hexapodal race with four eyes, two hearts (one in the ribcage and one hidden in a rib-pocket in tucked in the left hip), and a fast healing factor.
The way that Choveckites morph back and forth is extremely painful and not done without great sacrifice. To go from humanoid to the beastial form, Choveckites must allow a great bloodlust and rage to consume them. They are at their most volatile in the midst of morphing, and for a few hours afterward all things are prey. The return to a humanoid state, the Choveckites must meditate and become serene. Obviously, the later can take a longer amount of time - sometimes even days.
The Choveckite Empire consists of ten very different planets - AKA each planet has different environments and atmospheric/elemental make ups. However, this is cause for very little alarm for the Choveckites as they are a hyper adaptive race. Their home world, Tartarus, has volatile seasons and chemistry. Therefore, the creatures that have survived are hardy and flexible - both in mental capabilities and physical attributes.
If they were simply adaptive, Choveckites would die out very quickly on the worlds they conquered. However, what makes them such a terrifying colonizing force is that nearly all the new Choveckites sent to different worlds survive. Within a few years, or decades in some cases, the Choveckites will adapt completely to their new planet. Within a generation or two, it'll be like they were meant to live there. (Ex. a water planet first gen. Choveckite would become slightly amphibious. The next generation - even more so.)
All Choveckites and their assimilated descendants are viewed as full members of society and fully protected by Choveckite law. This also applies to half-breeds.
Empire's History:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
There is a planet called 'Tartarus'. The main species on this planet, similar to the humans of Earth, are called the Choveckites. Their cultures are male dominated, and their ways of life are brutal and cruel. Each litter of baby Choveckites contain 3 - 5 kits. They are fighters at birth. In ancient times on Tartarus, the babies would begin fighting one another within their mother's womb, killing all but one. The sole victor would then claw their way out of their mother or be born naturally with their mother's dying breath. As such, they now normally take the newborns out of the mother, and set them in an area so they may fight each other without hurting innocent bystanders. And they HAVE to fight at birth, otherwise they develop serious mental conditions, growing ever more aggressive until they snap and go on a psychotic rampage until they kill themselves.
Now, many years ago, there was litter born to a lowly Choveckite. From this, came the most powerful Choveckite the planet has ever seen. Gifted with pale fur, which was representative of power, and a powerful command, this Choveckite soon rose to what could be called a king like status. He quickly grew restless and gained more and more dominion until he ruled the entire world of Tartarus.
But it was not enough. Using his peoples’ advanced technology to his advantage, he quickly set about conquering other worlds, setting up one of the greatest trans planetary empires in the universe. This Emperor had many sons and daughters from his harem, but only one was fierce enough to take the throne. This new Emperor took control with the iron fist of his father, but brought with him a strategized ruling of law. His empire rejoiced and flourished under his rule. However, due to instances of assassination and treason, the Emperor was soon only left with two brothers.
The youngest was ever kind, a trait rarely found in their species and had no desire for things to change. The eldest, however, was dark and clever, forever hating his younger brother for not killing him when they had dueled for their father's throne, but had shown 'restraint' and let him live in ridicule as one of his advisors. He desired power, as their grandfather had.
A few years into his rule, the Emperor was blessed with the birth of a miraculous son. The last born from a litter of a whooping 7 siblings, he was preordained to die moments after birth. However, fate had other plans, and gave the young Choveckite unnatural strength and power in rage. So strong with his son, that the Emperor no longer wished for any other children. He spent time with his son, teaching him the ways of their people that way no other father had ever done before.
This action was never heard of, but it brought yet another element of civilization to a barbaric race. The two uncles, as well, were allowed to teach the young prince the ways of their lives the youngest with social interaction and the eldest with schooling studies and battle. When the young prince was roughly the age of 14, however, things changed. The eldest brother, chafing under such a long period of peace, gathered his dark followers and ordered an attack on the king.
The attack fell on the worst possible day. The Emperor fought his brother well, and would have beaten him if for not one thing. His brother was too clever. Noticing his brother was trying to protect his son, the eldest dove to stab at the young prince. The Emperor, out of reactionary defenses, intercepted the blade and was felled. Before the eldest brother could turn and strike down the defenseless boy, however, the third eldest arrived with the Emperor's loyal faction and another battle began. The third eldest, when able to, shouted for the prince to run.
And run he did, straight into the hanger. He climbed into the exploratory ship he and his father had been planning to ride in for a few days of leisure, opened the hatch and fell out to space. However, as he was escaping, the eldest broke away from the battle on the host ship and stormed over to the ship's weapons control firing the remaining weaponry at the small vessel.
Thankfully, since he had not set the lock on the positioning system on the ship, most of the deadly arsenal missed the young prince. However, some of the minor explosives hit his ship's rear as he jumped into warp, sending him skewing through space time. He landed on a strange new planet, his ship damaged and his heart broken. The year was 1767, and Tomas had arrived on Earth without any idea of what he was doing.
Questions/Answers These are the questions you guys have asked Chibi and she answered from the last bowl contest.
Quote:
1.) How often would you say Liam and Rebecca return to Tartarus or wherever they might need to go to learn things? And about how young would they be when they go on their first trip?
2.) Would Tomas or Shay sit down and explain to the kids the first time or two why only Liam and Rebecca need to go with Tomas? If so, what abouts do you think he'd say? Or if he doesn't tell them, how would he react/what would he say to his middle son coming to him to ask why he doesn't get to go as well?
3.) How do you think Liam and Rebecca's growth would compare to the middle child? They are all half-and-half, but as the middle child is the most vampiric would he appear to age slower than Liam and Rebecca?
1.) Fairly often when they are younger and will need to go to Tartarus for an expedited training to maintain their humanoid appearance and control their morphing. The first trip would only be a few weeks after they're born.
2.) Oh, most definitely. Tomas would be the likely one to speak, and he'd try to maintain a calm environment would definitely explain it honestly. He wouldn't try to coerce him into staying or try to sugar coat it - he would expect his kids to be reasonably mature. He would also try to explain that the middle boy would have to stay with Shay and be together - leaving Shay alone would be really mean, yeah? Not to mention that Tartarus is unstable and the air wouldn't be breathable for either of them.
3.) I totally forgot to mention that Choveckites have RIDICULOUSLY long lifespans. His grandfather Cyril lived 8,000 years, and Uraltugo lived almost twice that before he was killed - physically only being around 45. So, yeah, Rebecca and Liam would age a tiny bit faster than middle boy, but not by much,

The Parents The progenitors of the cuties. For more of a glimpse at how these two interact: [x] [x] [x]
Tomas De'Awesume-- Tomas is a giant dork. He's also very intelligent and giving to a fault - something that has gotten him into a little bit of trouble in the past. Tomas adores anything to do with technology and will start to ramble on about all things mechanical with the enthusiasm of a child. He's been hurt, both physically and emotionally, so it takes a while to actually earn his trust. Overall, he's a pretty easy-going guy and highly enamored with anyone that manages to hold his heart (of which he has two - thanks alien biology!).
When it comes to being a father, Tomas will likely develope into the 'fun' parent. Due to Shay disliking a lot of physical contact, Tomas will probably have to take over main entertainment and coddling duties - in the beginning at least. However, as the kids get older, he'll settle and be the one the kids come to for homework help or to try and get something (Rebecca exploits this the most). That said, he'll eventually be able to deflect any outrageous demands or attempts at persuasion with the ever so popular "Ask your papa." He'll also likely be the one to encourage the kids to go out for extracurricular activities and attend every function. (Owned by ChibiWrites)

Shay Daley-- Shay is charming and aware of his sex appeal. Despite the way he acts, he is actually a very insecure person. He was raised in a family where affection was not shown often and his Sire ditched him early on in their relationship. It takes a lot for Shay to trust someone. When shown a lot of affection Shay has a tendency to act indignant and like he doesn't care, but that's just him trying to protect himself from being hurt. He has a small group of friends he fully trusts but can be perceived as a friend to anyone.
When it comes to raising the children, Shay will probably be hesitant at first. The children were very much a surprise and he's not sure he can even be a good father. It won't be too long, though, that Shay will pick up his new mantle and charge ahead. He still won't be verbally affectionate, but he will always make sure all three are well fed, bathed, and happy each day. Shay probably won't show physical affection all that often either, but he will kiss them good night and won't refuse a hug and will insist everyone holds hands to cross streets. He will be the worry-wort sort and will constantly want to have tabs on the children. (Owned by iMoony)

The Siblings The brothers and sisters of the precious bowl.
Liam De'Awesume-Daley, Eldest Brother-- Liam, should he be put in one word, is a conundrum. He is introduced to many as a handsome guy with an aloof attitude. Despite being popular and flirtatious with the girls, however, he is shy and often hides in embarrassment shortly after making bold statements. He has all of Tomas' charm and wit, but none of his comfort with provocativeness - which can often lead to his foot being relocated to his mouth. In fact, the easiest way to fluster him is to be flirtatious right back at him!
That said, Liam is very kind and genuine, despite all of his attempts to come off as mysterious and edgy. Once he is familiar with another person, he is almost alarmingly affectionate and thoughtful. He takes his role as the eldest brother quite seriously and can sometimes be overbearing to his siblings. Liam, much like Shay, also can be quite the tsundere and not say what he is feeling despite it being written all over his face and body language. All and all, Liam loves his family and will do anything to keep them happy. He is the least vampiric of the first three and needs blood very sparingly - in fact, it sort of tastes icky to him!

Shawn De'Awesume-Daley & Lief, Older Brother-- In a simple word, Shawn is a charmer. He knows he's handsome, and he uses that to his advantage in some situations. He does have some insecurities about his extra eyes when he's a kit, but he grows out of it as he becomes more confident. Shawn comes off as being self-centered due to his confidence, but he is quick to show he is kind and friendly. The only time he's not is when his family or friends are in danger, or if he's hungry.
When it comes to his eyes, Shawn has taken to wearing sunglasses when he goes out to hide them, or he'll hide them under his bangs. He's also a bit of a bookworm, and loves to read young adult or children's fiction (which is his favorite genre). When he has a secret he can't tell his family, Shawn will tell it to Lief, his cat. Shawn is partial to water magic, as well as the lunar magic that comes with being a vampire. (Owned by Peter D Hook)

Sophie Lafleur, Shawn's Fiancé-- Sophie Lafleur is Shawn's mate (currently only engaged for RP purposes). She is a huge puppy at heart - literally considering she's a bernese mountain dog lycan. She's a giant sweetheart who will do anything for those she cares about. As she prepares for the children that she and Shawn are expecting, she's dropped down to part-time status at the local university where she works at the on-campus cafe. She's attending college for Elementary/Middle Level Math Education, and hopes to be a teacher one day.
Sophie's bark is worse than her bite and if anything, she tends to be more intimidating than she looks in most aspects of her life. She dreams of working with children, so not only is she excited for her litter, but she can't wait to meet her new in-laws. (Owned by mewmew kittykat94)

Rebecca De'Awesume-Daley, Eldest Sister-- Rebecca is a very intelligent child. She takes after Tomas in that way. She is also very outgoing and makes friends easily. Rebecca invests herself totally in other lives. She loves learning new things or about new people. She has a tendency to speak her mind, though, and this causes her to sometimes accidentally be rude; especially if she thinks someone is rather stupid. And though she's not fully conscious of it, Rebecca seeks out the spot light. This is a habit that will be especially true as an adult when she becomes conscious of her allure.
Rebecca likes best to work with her hands and loves to deconstruct then rebuild things. She doesn't really follow the rules and sometimes gets herself in trouble. Thankfully, Rebecca can usually charm her way out of most situations, but not all. (That's where Liam comes in.) She loves her family very much, but being the only girl out of the group (right now) she grows up used to usually getting her way. Rebecca fully loves her family so she doesn't intend to take advantage of this... most of the time. She quickly includes any friend into the family unit in her mind. Rebecca has more vampiric tendencies than Liam and therefore needs to drink blood more often. (Owned by iMoony)

Ellen De'Awesume-Daley, Younger Twin Sister-- Ellen is a fireball of curiosity. She constantly wants to know what this is or what that does. It's almost like an insatiable desire to just know. However, she dosen't connect well with people, in general. Ellen is often seen as stand-offish and sometimes snooty. She really isn't, though, just bad with talking to people.
Ellen is closest to her litter-mates as she grows up with them, exploring the world with them. She still loves her family all equally, but her siblings will know her the best. In fact, it is her litter-mates that were told about her deep-seeded fear that she migh be a robot. After hearing people call her that one too many times, she worries it might be true.

Adrian De'Awesume-Daley, Younger Brother-- Adrian is a neurotic butterball of insecurities and self-loathing. He's genuinely a good person and cares deeply for those he considers friend. Yet, despite his family's warm and loving atmosphere and his parent's general support of their children's talent and ambitions, as well as understand their faults or encouraging them to try new things, Adrian often feels like his is inadequate or not 'special' enough to be a part of such a wonderful family.
All and all, he's a big sweetheart that helps others whenever he can (to cope with his ever-present feeling of cynicism). Adrian's greatest goal is to be worthy of his family and live up to their expectations (which, of course, he himself has set as extraordinarily high). A perfectionist by nature, he stresses over the little things, which can cause him to feel like his rather laissez faire siblings don't understand or appreciate him. Adrian takes solace in Ellen and ???'s company, and enjoys hanging out with them as a general rule, though he is probably closest to his father Shay. (Owned by ChibiWrites)

Family Friends These are friends who are probably going to constantly be mentioned. Though not actively RP'd (as they are not in shop) they will affect the bowl's life in many ways.
Faye Robinson-- Faye is a bright, happy young Seelie Court fae from the Spring Court. She has been teaching Maahes about vampiric magic since they were in their teens and is very knowledgable about all magic forms - Faerie, Lycan, Elven, Vampiric, and even what little magic the undead can accomplish. She is Tomas' best friend and cares deeply for the couple.
Shroka and Richard Cast-- Shroka and Ricky are pretty much the lynchpin couple for Tomas and Shay's social circle. Shroka is a wolf lycan, pediatrician, Shaman to the Zerhalians (wolf lycan tribe - only lycans left who truly can access magic), and vessel to their water deity. Ricky is a third generation CEO to one of the largest eco-friendly organizations in the world. They have two twins - Eric and Eirian.
Maahes Cast-- A vampire who was turned not too long ago. He's best friends with Shay and the two often end up doing stupid stuff together. It is thanks to Maahes that Shay came to accept himself. More than likely he will be like an uncle to Shay's kids... The kind of uncle that will encourage the kids to get under Shay's skin. Maahes and Tomas have a sort-of friendship that is a bit strained since Maahes has a crush on Faye.
Name Dropping These are friends that might be mentioned or RP'd with the bowl/family, but are not active members to be fully aware of.
Faelnirv Strider-- Faelnirv is a very old High Faerie Lord of the Seelie Court of Spring. He doesn't really interact much with Tomas or Shay, but may become involved if their middle child shows signs of magical prowess. (Owned by ChibiWrites)
Casey Wyman-- A friend of Ricky's from work. Though he doesn't actively hang out with Tomas or Shay outside of their usual group gatherings, it would not be surprising to hear about him from time to time. He might even come by to visit more now that there are kids involved. Babies are just the cutest! (Owned by iMoony)
John the Bouncer-- John is like the Hagrid to the family, not a member and doesn't hang out outside of work, but definitely important to both Shay and Tomas. He is a rather beefy man who protects the patrons and the servers of the club Shay works at. Though he looks tough, he is actually a sweet heart when he doesn't have to play the role of a bouncer. He has a daughter and a wife. <3
Shay's boss-- His name still hasn't been disclosed. He is a rather old vampire who likes to keep his money in his wallet rather than update his club. Lucky for him, the open-to-all policy continues to draw in a decent crowd every night. It's either that or because he continues to hire only the hottest servers. The world may never know~
Other Family Members These are family members that are important for various reasons. Do not be surprised if they are actively mentioned or ignored. They are a part of the bowl's history as well as his future.
Silvan, Tomas' Uncle-- Silvan is a kind, wise man who is very passionate about personal illumination and the pursuit of happiness. He is the youngest of three brothers to survive during their father Cyril's reign - Thantos, the eldest; Uraltugo, the middle child; and finally himself. He held the title of Emperor’s Socialite under Uraltugo's reign, until Thantos attacked Uraltugo's fleet and killed him, Silvan arriving in time to save Tomas and help him escape. He was the driving force behind keeping up the war in the empire, never losing hope that Tomas might still be alive somewhere out in the stars.
Kumall, Tomas' Cousin; The New Emperor-- Strong, proactive, and genuine, Kumall is a strange member of the royal family. He and Tomas were close as children, and that closeness helped Kumall rally support for his father's cause and keep a torch burning for Tomas' return. Through the long years, however, Kumall found himself enamored with Tomas' promised mate - Neira - and the two fell for one another in secret. Upon Tomas' return and the war's end, Tomas appointed Kumall as the next Emperor. Kumall, in turn, cheekily appointed Tomas the Choveckite's Ambassador to Earth, knowing full-well why his cousin was so eager to return.
Neira, Kumall's Wife; Tomas' Ex-betrothed-- Neira is not actually of royal blood - due to her uncommon beauty, however, she was chosen to become the Heir Apparent's first mate. They were quite close as children, probably closer than most betrothed, so the Emperor's murder and Tomas' disappeared hurt her greatly. She keep a strong face to help Silvan's campaign, but was quick to fall in love with his son Kumall. She and Tomas still hold soft spots for one another, but as they've each found their true companions, there are no hard feelings between them.
Adam, Shay's Sire-- He will probably never be mentioned in the family except for in hissed anger by Shay. The guy is, to be honest, a selfish a*****e. He cared only about himself even when he had a teenaged vampire to look after. He kept most of his knowledge of vampire life from Shay during the brief years the two were together. Once he realized that Shay had a crush on him, he fled during the day, leaving Shay alone to fend for himself. (iMoony might someday custom him into the shop.)

This bowl is FEMALE. This bowl is VAMPIRIC. This bowl is THE OLDEST CHILD of the litter. This bowl has a TWIN SISTER. This bowl cannot USE ELEMENTAL MAGIC.* This bowl will CRAVE BLOOD.
Prompts:
#1 Not only are you the oldest of the new litter, but you're also an older twin sister. How does this make you feel about your place in the family? Does having older siblings factor into these feelings?
#2 Your family is almost evenly split between Choveckite blood and vampiric blood. Even though you have some Choveckite perks, you can't be considered a part of the species... How does this make you feel? Are you jealous of your alien siblings or happy with your vampire talents?
*#3 Your brother, Shawn, was lucky enough to discover he could use magic to a greater degree than your papa ever could, yet both you and your twin are stuck with only the vampire basics of magic: Night, Shadow, and Lunar. Does this seem unfair to you or do you look up to Shawn? Since your papa was never taught how to hone the innate vampire magic, his skills are basic at best, but would you seek out a tutor in either a family fae or... outside vampire sources?
Form:
[size=10][b]Username:[/b] [b]Bowl Name:[/b] ?? De'Awesume-Daley [b]Name Meaning:[/b] [b]Basic Personality:[/b] [b]Do you promise to keep Chibi [i]and[/i] Moony in the loop?:[/b]
Username: Lexi_Perplexi Bowl Name: Carrie De'Awesume-Daley Name Meaning: Very pure in deed and thought Basic Personality: Carrie is a rather cautious child. She prefers to stay safe and follow the rules, in her mind the nail that sticks out the most gets hammered down the hardest and this is something she'd rather like to avoid. When introduced to someone new she has a horrid habit of being shy and even hiding until they make enough of an effort to get to know her. She can be a little closed off to her family as well, not because she doesn't care about them, but because she finds it hard to open up to those around her. Even though she tries her hardest to make sure all of her family know just how much she cares for them The only ones who seem to be separate from this are Ellen and Adrian - the only ones she can openly communicate and laugh with. Do you promise to keep Chibi and Moony in the loop?: Of course!
Prompt #: 3 Response: Carrie didn't mind the fact that she didn't have a wide range of magical abilities, after all it made it easier for her to fade into the background in the long run. Although she did enjoy talking to her brother Shawn, about how advanced his magic was - it was one of the few things she could actually bond with him over and she enjoyed sharing in his experiences even if she would never be able to follow in his foot steps. It was through these talks, however, that she decided it would be in her best interest to find a teacher to hone what little skills she did have - she wasn't keen on losing control of her magic or being unable to control it when she needed too. Shawn had told her that with training she might even be able to just DISAPPEAR into the night, and she'd be lying if she said that it didn't get her excited just thinking about it.
Username: Kivras Bowl Name: Alexis 'Lex' De'Awesume-Daley Name Meaning: Alexis is a given name derived from the Greek word ἀλέξω or aléxo, meaning "to help, defend." Basic Personality: Alexis is very nurturing to her siblings, extended family, and even to strangers. Showing no signs of fear even when confronted by something much larger than herself, Lex instead tries to talk. Non-violence is her motto, and if things can be solved without anyone taking any swings? All the better for the world. Open and truthful, it could be said that Lex has no sense of tact. Rather, she simply doesn't see the point in lying about things. Even a tiny white lie is too much for her, as she strongly believes in the Butterfly effect. While intelligent, Lex is...a bit on the slow side. Taking her time to think through problems and word arguments, it might be rumor that she's stupid. Being called this, or having any of her loved ones be called this, is The Big Red Button. The 'S' word, the 'R' word...they set her off like absolutely nothing else can. Do you promise to keep Chibi and Moony in the loop?: Well yeah! I've been wanting to get in on your guys' worldbuilding since around Meeki's :>
Prompt #: 1 Response: Jealous? Angry? Lonely? No. Lex fit in just fine, dining beside her likewise-blood-craving siblings. Even the elder ones were not spared her affections and worries, articles of clothing straightened, and even both papas weren't spared a lick of concern. Shay in particular being asked 'Has papa fed enough?'. Not the oldest, not the middle, not the youngest. Somewhere in between but not where it seemed perfect. No hard feelings, no reason to loathe or hate. Concern, unconditional love, care. Ellen showered with love and affection, Adrian given as many uplifting talks as she feels he can handle. Her older siblings given respect and just enough love. Her place in the family? Right where she belongs.
REMINDER: This ends on SATURDAY OCTOBER 31st at 11:59 PM! Be sure to have your forms completed and posted BEFORE this time!

Username: Koiasi Bowl Name: Elsie De'Awesume-Daley Name Meaning: It means "Noble". I also just have a thing with twins having similar names, which is why I picked it. x3 Basic Personality: Elsie is full of fire. She is passionate and strong headed, full of spunk. She tries her best to be polite to people she doesn't know, trying hard to keep rules.. but sometimes her mouth can get the better of her, this will be especially true at a young age. She is never purposely rude, however. She is full of ideas and wants to be strong when she becomes an adult, especially to protect her younger siblings and to live up to her parents expectations. She is encouraging to her siblings, even if they might get in fights from time to time, but there is hell to pay for anyone who would hurt them. Do you promise to keep Chibi and Moony in the loop?: Of course! x3
Prompt #: 3 Response:
The first time Elsie had learned that Shawn had developed powers way behind her own made her slightly frustrated. It wasn't that she felt any ill will toward her older brother, but she all she had ever wanted was to get strong enough that no one could hurt her or her family. She frowned to herself, watching the moon looming high above. Could she prove that she had what it takes? Her head tilted to one side, scanning the ground out below. Why did she desire power anyway?
Elsie thought about her family, about her brothers, about her twin.. and Rebecca. Rebecca was perhaps the one she looked up to the most, though she knew, in truth, she looked up to all her older siblings. She wanted to be someone that they felt was an equal, not a child they had to protect. She smiled a little at the realization. She'd train then. Even if she couldn't learn how to use the magics that Shawn did, then she'd learn how to be the best she could with the magic she did have. She'd seek out a mentor, when the time was right, perhaps one of her parent's family friends could show her how. She'd come to her parents tomorrow to tell them what she decided, she hoped they'd be happy, because in the end, that was all that mattered to her.
Username: PixelDeerest Bowl Name: Alyssa De'Awesume-Daley Name Meaning: Picked it because of the Horror theme - based on Alyssa from Silent Hill, also meaning Variant of ALICIA. The spelling has probably been influenced by that of the alyssum flower, the name of which is derived from Greek α (a), a negative prefix, combined with λυσσα (lyssa) "madness, rabies", since it was believed to cure madness.
Basic Personality: If there is one thing that Alyssa is perfect at, it's getting people to do what she wants. Not because she's a generally nice person, or even maliciously manipulative - it's because she's great at knowing what people want to hear. Alyssa is best at talking to people, even if it isn't necessarily her favorite hobby, and she knows she's good at it. She knows when to smile, nod, console and make eye contact, and because of this she often chooses to do all of the talking when it comes to getting her litter-mates out of trouble. Her number one priority is family, and keeping all of them happy and safe.
Aside from her family, though, Alyssa is someone who likes to cause at least a little bit of mayhem on a daily basis. Although usually on a small scale, if Alyssa's anger switch gets flipped the amount of destruction caused can be big. While Alyssa generally she likes to stalk people using her vampiric powers, her personal favorite bit of mischief is chasing around Lief, Shawn's cat, and scaring the heck out of him.
Of all of her older siblings, Liam is the one Alyssa looks up to the most.
Do you promise to keep Chibi and Moony in the loop?: Yes! Wow, I think this family is just too cool, man.
Prompt #: 2 Response: It wasn't like Alyssa had immediately realized the that there was a clear separation between vampires and Choveckites. No, instead it had taken her several different instances to understand that she was part of the significantly less-cool category. The first time had been when she was younger, and they (she and her siblings) had been playing outside. She remembered that the night air felt cool on her skin, making her colder than normal. All of her siblings had gathered together for a night of mischief and game playing - her favorite times with her siblings were always that ones that included laughter and mischief! However, as the night wound down and it was almost time for them to head back inside, Alyssa began to pout at her older siblings - begging them for more time, just a little more time, so that they could all keep hanging out in the fresh air. Yet, after she went on a little too long, her brother Shawn had gotten fed up with her antics - laughing as he literately 'rained' on her parade. Through the water slipping across her face, she couldn't help but to notice the green glow of his four eyes. She sat there for awhile, like a daydream - slack-jawed and wide-eyed, seeing green even after the rest of her siblings had slipped inside. It was like the difference between his face and hers had unlocked a deep-seated jealousy inside her. From then on, her eyes always lingered on the Choveckitian traits that resided in the attributes of her siblings - like when Liam or Rebecca passed by in the hallway, and their tails happened to brush across her hip. Or the moments when she happened to catch one of the three pairs of glowing eyes in the dark - not able to tell her brother's from her dads, yet sighing most upon seeing Liam's - wishing his luck had been hers.
The thing that made her realize that she was different, that she wasn't a Choveckite, was the time she sat in front of her mirror - moving her paws around her face, looking for any signs of similarity between herself and her Choveckitian siblings. She found nothing. Her teeth were slightly pointed, still growing, but nothing was altogether special about them; her eyes were bland and blank - about as interesting as vanilla ice-cream; and her tail was long and fluffy, not a hint of being sleek and thin like her father, brother, or sister's tails.
For a few days after Alyssa realized that she could never look, or be like, her Choveckite siblings, she went on a fast - refusing to drink blood because she irrationally believed that her father, Tomas, could turn her into one. It had taken some consoling, and reassuring that she was perfect as is, before anyone could get her to calm down. Even afterwards, Alyssa still hasn't fully come to terms with being only a vampire. Sure, she liked it good enough - it wasn't like she held any malice towards herself or her traits, but she felt significantly inferior. A part of her was lacking, and she knew what it was that made her feel this way - but she also knew that she would never be given the chance to shake the feeling.
Here ye, here ye~ Spooks and ghouls of TLN, Chibi and I have finally come to a decision~
We would like to welcome Lexi_Perplexi with Carrie De'Awesume-Daley into our special family.
