Questions/Question 673

Hello mods, I have a couple of question about this gremlin I want to apply with.

1 - Don Quixote is a Bloodfiend, which is just a fancy way to say vampire. She's basically currently sealed via her running shoes. Due to complicated canon reasons, at the moment, if she takes off her running shoes, she will go into a violent blood frenzy and attack everything on sight to feed. Now, I'm not planning on having her remove her shoes (and they need to be physically removed, doing something like chopping off her feet doesn't seem to trigger it), but if for whatever reason they do get removed, how would this be handled? Would the bloodlust be nerfed so that she remains in control? Would she still lose control, but her power level be nerfed? Something else?

2 - Related to the above, in canon, when a Bloodfiend feeds on someone, they will turn either into another Bloodfiend or a Bloodbag, which is basically like a zombie level vampire thrall. There's no escaping it, you get bit, you turn. How would this be handled in the game? She's not planning on feeding on anyone, but just in case.

1. How she responds to the removal of her shoes is up to you! It could be that it operates as it does in canon, that she becomes uncontrollable and hungry. Or, it could be that the Augmenter and the additional soul within her serves to blunt the reaction in somewhat- leaving a few threads of consciousness or self-control (how much it helps/how much of a struggle is left would also be up to you). Really, it's down to whatever option feels the most interesting.

2. This part is more likely to be nerfed... at least with other Augmented. Biting one of them will probably not have any effect (beyond being bitten), but with player permission it could be that some characters/types remain more susceptible than others. Regular Karterians, though? They're not immune at all, so they would turn as expected.
