From my understanding based on a few replies between Thrall and master, Thralls actually become immortal and can only die through external damage (I assume brain being destroyed or heart being destroyed). Basically: thralls are like semi-vampires once they sign the contract. I'm pretty sure this is WITH all vampires, not just Kitsu's vampire character because it solves the issue with having to reproduce. Also: they physically stop aging. As for werewolves: yeah werewolves will have to reproduce normally. Means more fun for them though. :3

guess who could potentially help as long as his fingers dont get blown off

"..Magic you say?" Vance blinked a few times at Miana before she stood up to prepare. He sat there watching in slight awe how she prepares contracts. He'd never seen a Vampire be able to do this. When they fought she surely held back. There would be no way he'd be able to fight such a strong vampire. "..I've never seen a vampire capable of such magic..I could only see this in comics." He rose up from his sitting and approached the patterns along with the ring. "I'll be immortal? Well, that puts me at ease.." He studied the ring before hearing Miana say its technicalities. He looked up at Miana taking a second, observing her crimson eyes. "Its not just technical terms..Its what I promise." Vance rises up his hand and bites the fleshy thin parts of his thumb hard enough to where blood spewed out. He hovered the hand over and let the blood build up and drip once onto the ring. "I promise you loyalty and my body's blood until the end of my life." He lowered his hand after the ring had received the blood drop. Vance doesn't look like he has any regrets nor hesitation after being convinced that Miana's kindness was real.

Speaking of magic: Is it allowed to bring other fantastical discoveries into the world overall? I think it'd be interesting. Something like materials or physical runes, crystals or even books containing knowledge of different techniques and tricks. It would bring more flavor to how magic works. Obviously to not make it unfair for any of the sides, everything would be minimal but still advantageous so it isn't an useless addition. A question for lycans/werewolves: I feel like lycans/werewolves are more physical based which means they don't have any fantastical properties to fight with, just a 'state' which honestly is probably 80% to 95% biology. So, I was wondering: Is it possible for a werewolf, to have a passive ability that makes them a bit more unique and comparable to vampires who have solid magic? A passive ability that can be accessed only whilst in lycan state. This idea came through my head through my Thrall character: Vance. He has a biological disadvantage yet it gave him enough advantages in return that allowed him to survive longer and fight fairly against vampires. Wouldn't it be that kind of cool and give more options to people who want to make werewolf characters as long as they dont take 'passive' too out of the picture?

Tale Spin.

Lets be honest I'm the real Alpha here. My disguise of a werewolf is so good none of you real werewolvies could even spot me. Check the drip out.

He couldn't be more happy that he was making. Vance's expression changed up, he smiled lightly. Upon hearing that though he understood and even slight shock was brought upon him. It explains her humanity, her kindness and why she didn't hurt him. She is not the result of vampires breeding. She is a human who has been: "Bitten...Miana..You are a victim of a bite..?" He took a moment to process her truth. He felt, even more guilty. No, he felt sympathy for Miana. "..You were from those times huh?" He stood up and took a seat next to her instead of in front. "..I'm sorry to hear that. I really am.." He observed Miana, wondering if she feels anything particular about it. "..You've lived for long haven't you? You've seen many people that accepted you despite your transformation wither away.." He looked away from Miana towards the ground. "..My sorry won't do it. I'll make up to you for the missed weeks of work..And.." He took a second before saying this. "Can I, exchange the curse into a contract with you?" So fast already? She probably found it weird, but he mentioned the other reason why he has taken such decision. "..You see..I actually, need you way more than just survival, food, water and shelter..I am..Basically better off being your Thrall until I pass away."

@Icarian DreamsJust gave it a read and I can personally say I love what you've written. I'm glad werewolves are finally getting characters filled in. :3 Almost makes me want to make a werewolf character, maybe in the future.

@Lady_XienGlad to see you trying out new things. Hello from me!

"..A-Ah." She could see buckets of sweat oogling a little on his face. "Ahm..Yeah, I know it is a little bit surprising you could say.." Seeing she just commented a bit of relief comes upon him. He is glad she acknowledges his existence and shoots a conversation. "..I have something on my mind, yes.." He took a seat down on the floor in front of Alicia. "Well, you see..How do I put this so that you believe me.." He brushed his face keeping eye contact with Alicia. "..I feel guilty. For, making a bad impression on you, the lady who despite I tried to murder for my own reasons..Didn't cut off my limbs, nor did return the hostility or do anything horrible to me." He took a breath. "Basically..If you dont catch my hints yet. Out of pure honesty, I apologize for letting your race blind me from the truth that you have feelings and a heart too." He finally let it out which stopped his sweating. He gave her a few seconds before shooting a question. "It's okay if I sit down here, right?"

Vance was walking around the corridors minding his own business wondering if he could find something interesting. Upon the glows of the Botanical Gardens hitting his clothes he gave a look of it, thinking its mesmerizing. He continued onwards, but fully stopped and peaked out of a corner realizing that person over there was Miana. ".." "Found her..Oh, hold on..If this is a garden..This must be hers." He peaked out a little more whilst her eyes were still closed. This was the chance he was looking for. A short talk with the woman who spared him. Although its not that easy, as the boy found himself sweating from being nervous. Either way he stopped peaking out and toughened up. "Come on now, Alicia said she was kind, right..? It shouldn't be this nerve-wracking for me to want to approach her all of the sudden.." He thought. He took a few steps in and approached Miana whilst she was still relaxing. He simply crouched down and looked at her in silence, not wanting to disrupt, instead waited patiently for Miana to notice him.

Vance rose up from his crouching position after seeing Alicia will stay here for a bit longer. "You too, Alicia. See you around later then." With a short turn over he simply walked towards the exit opening the heavy doors to walk out. He shut them back up later and took his leave to explore the castle for whatever goal he has now.

"Regardless.." An intimidating index finger pointed at Alicia von Vulf. Vance decided to joke around with her a bit, putting some seriousness behind his voice. "If I lose any of my limbs; I'll dislocate your fangs. If you try to permanently damage me; I'll dislocate your fangs. If you give me unsafe gadgets; I'll dislocate your fangs. And if I end up a thrown away corpse; I'll dislocate your fangs before it happens." He rose his hand down after warning her. But then she saw he couldn't help it but break the threatening mood with a smirk and muffled laughs. "Pft..Pshhfh..Skhm.." He let it go away first before clearing any misunderstanding. "I'm joking..I trust your intelligence. Maybe not your morality for now, but your intelligence.." With that Vance felt satisfied. She witnessed the toned by physique boy stand up and brush his hair back. Of course, thank god, what was in between his legs wasn't visible. He walked over to his clothes and picked them up checking which was odd. "I'll have to go for now, if you don't mind. My skin has began getting saggy even. I had fun, despite at first almost going over the edge.." Vance states before he gets out of the water fast so that Alicia wouldn't catch a glimpse my accident. He goes over to one of the large campfires to dry up whatever he can without getting burn marks. After putting on his hoodie and his casual pants he gets up, walking back to Alicia from the edge. His knees bend down balancing his crouch. "See you some other time. I'll talk with Miss Blackthorne about my little volunteering post.." He put some respect to Miana's existence for the first time.

@VenariWulf99A full moon sounds better because if he was close to the caretakers that were taking care of Vance and the other children, it would justify Darion's situation a bit. As in, he couldnt control himself. Them feeding up on the necks after makes total sense and justifies the percision bites Vance talked about. To be honest, because of the age gap Vance would've probably seen Darion as an Uncle more than anything else. Because of the 9 years gap. That would fuel even more. So lets go with your additions and idea B. (It is definitely likely Vance knew Darion. There simply wouldn't be a way that he wouldnt know him if he was so close with his parental figures at the time.)

"..." Noticing her blushing once more, Vance understands why her reactions are like this. He taps Alicia very lightly on the shoulder. "I think I finally understand why you react such way. I feel a bit awkward now too, knowing you seem affected by the fact that we're naked and shoulder to shoulder.." He says a little low, blushing a bit himself which you would definitely never see from Vance. Although be it he finally forgets Alicia is even a vampire. Her well educated personality has drawn him out of his protective anger and measurements. "I dont know. I am not your Thrall. I would prefer not to be seduced by a vampire I am not serving.." The boy cleared his throat loudly. "Either way..Musk bomb for werewolves..You're developing counter-measurements for werewolves?" That peaked Vance's interest a little bit. He got an idea that will keep his hunting skills sharp to the edge. But, he wasn't going to make any proposition yet without being filled in more by Alicia. "Are werewolves a general problem here for Miana's castle? You seem to take enjoyment in such complex projects." Vance couldn't help but lightly smile. She was so cute for a vampire in his eyes and so talented. She is the first Vampire he can genuinely admit he gets along with in general. "..Say, could I maybe..Somehow, I dont know..Become something like a gadget tester for you? You see, I dont want to feel like my years of training and hunting are suddenly going to start wasting away.." He probably didn't know what he was getting himself into, but hopelessness is one feeling he doesn't like to experience.

@VenariWulf99I looked through it. First of all: Awesome choice for beast transformation. His wolf form looks absolutely terrifying and badass. But moving that on, our characters have a lot of parallels in a story type of deal. Actually, way too parallel as it seems like Darion is actually apart of Vance's story at this point with his own background. For idea A: Completely possible. Since Darion was taking care of humans in the same city as Vance, it is not out of the bounds of a werewolf intentionally attacking a foster family which takes care of orphan children. idea B sounds more fun to me though. It is much more possible that when Darion was actually being toyed with he could have been forced to attack the foster family group for a snack. His fleeing from the dangerous captors also ties in with how Vance hasn't found Darion yet nor them. Also, yes I think it would be even more interesting if the way they 'toyed' with Darion was by making him kill this foster family which had close ties with him. Maybe the caretakers were his friends or knew about his real identity but chose to keep it away from the world to ensure Darion's safety and they weren't just a snack to make him feel guilty? I dont know which you would want to go with though. I really want to go with idea B because this gives MASSIVE opportunities for story building and intense drama. But it is up to you. If you want your character to be connected with Vance, go ahead. :3 I allow it.

@VenariWulf99I like where you're going with this and I'll give a look like right now. Thanks for reading in on my character and wanting to make something cool together. :3

"And you're clearly not competent enough to be a proper teacher, let alone somebody who I can rely not to pound on me after I almost bust my head open." Lucca said this louder so she wouldn't see this as rumbling. He sighed upon hearing its only band aids. The wound is clearly deeper than that. His skin has become gushy, a medium amount of blood has rolled down his face. He actually busted it on an edge on the ground, a small line of space between the materials that make this floor. He had no choice. He grabbed his own white t-shirt and and pulled it apart, tearing the fabric after some struggle. He tears them up more which takes a minute, having 5 rags in total. He stacks them on top and wraps his wound around it, using a different knot technique to keep it secure. He tightens it well so that it doesn't fall out, then goes over to the sink and washes his face. "I'm afraid I dont want to bother Blackwater. If you dont want me falling on top of you then I'll keep my distance.." Lucca said it with a harsh tone, his eyes returning back towards the breakers. He continued scrubbing in silence.

Lucca holds his forehead. He jabbed a wound right into his forehead. His eye gaze looks right up at the miss, he got angry that she reacted this way despite him not even meaning to do so. "Well, I not so humbly apologize, miss..I dont have 4 eyes to where I can keep everything around me in a 360 degree vision constantly." He gets up right away and looks at his uniform. "I slipped up on a puddle that formed from the drips of the breakers and flasks. My shoes don't have grinders underneath. I'd prefer if you were to not yell at me when I am injured.." Lucca backed up for a moment wondering what to use to stop the bleeding. "Do you have bandages around here? I'll need them before I even continue with my work.."

Vance took the hint that she wants gazes locked at all times so he wouldn't flinch his head around too much. She was very interesting by doing this. He couldn't understand why she wanted it that way but didn't mind it. "...So...Like...Vampire puberty?" That is one way to put it. He didn't know vampires could undergo violent phases. "That's unique..Have you went through it too?" He played a little with the water turning it around with his hand as Alicia suggested a werewolf. "Those stink dogs..? No..Its unlikely. The way that neck was bitten..Not only percisely on the arteries but no indication of a werewolf jaw. I know werewolves have fangs but they would bite the whole head off instead of making holes in it.." He stopped splashing the water around itself. "Maybe it was fate I didnt go back there in time. I would not be here right now-" Her soothing made him interrupt his thoughts. He stared blankly at Alicia before speaking. "Alicia von Vulf, for a girl who looks well educated and introverted, you sure enjoy soothing the opposite sex.." He makes a statement through observation. "Are you only educated on science? You are immortal so I would guess you know other things like mathematics and physics. I can feel your nerdy energy from far away. And..the smell of a stinky dog bomb a moment ago." He wavers his hand in front of his nose confirming he smelt what she had been working on before coming to wash it off.

"....Alicia?" Vance couldn't understand why her face suddenly flashed such a deep red. He couldn't understand that she was taking note of the fact that the two of them were naked and close together. Another Vampire's thrall with the Vampire laboratorian. He didn't speak until she calmed her demeanor properly to speak with him once more. But through the whole time he was observing her actions and behavior with one arm resting on the stone edges that hold the water in. "I see. Garlic is not even that good for taste.." Vance said with a low tone of voice, mocking the taste properties of garlic. "You're a really old Vampire..You must have seen a lot." Her curiosity over the attacker of his family group was larger than before. She scooted closer, which tipped him over a bit but he didn't give a particular reaction. He just let her do as she wish. He looks forwards spacing out at some of the statues. "..No. I only saw the aftermath. The attacker has some kind of signature..." Although typically the heart rate would quicken and anxiety would kick in once remembering such memories, Vance's didn't. He has thought of it so many times It doesnt make him tense up and all bothered. "..Their eyeballs were plucked out. The bite marks of the fangs..Were larger. Maybe they were of bigger body size. Their limbs were scattered apart, I think whoever it might have been had a sick, artistic sense." The boy brushed his ocean hair back thinking about something else. "...All of the vampires that I've hunted down were the ones I witnessed feeding and then finishing their victims off." He seems deep in thought, the look in his eyes. He is recalling his memories. "...At first, I would feel affected when I would proceed to kill a Vampire. I'd leave them wounded and helpless..They would..Beg for their lives, most of them. They would plead and admit with their whining and crying. It made me feel sympathetic, but I would kill them anyway." His eyes triverse down at the water towards his legs. "...The reason why I am telling you this..Is because..Sitting here with you, talking with you and..Feeding you. It shows that Vampires are alive too, in their own way. Like humans.." He blinked a few times before closing his eyes. "..Could I, really blame any vampire for their nature? I can't blame them for wanting to live and survive..I can only blame them for tormenting humans instead of killing them right away. And trust me, Alicia..There are vampires, like that. And I've been blaming them ever since I assigned myself with this journey." Driplets from his face and body hit the water. He looks much more calm and less maniac like now. When he is in anger, its a different story.

Take out my Za Warudo stand to stop time and throw like 5 pillows at her. (Because who doesn't like pillows. You don't Elena? Well...Ah, sorry. )

Feeling her fingers grip him harder made him jump slightly. Alicia was getting more dangerous which he expected. He said nothing letting her feed on him. But soon it got even more awkward. Vance nudged an arm on top of her shoulder getting embarrassed. A reaction somebody wouldn't expect from him would come out. A slight flush to his cheeks whilst observing Alicia feed. "A-Alicia..I understand your hunger...But, we are too close right now.." If he were to push her would she go as far as to bite him? Just the thought of that made him reconcile if making her take distance is a good idea. After she backed up Vance calmed down a little. With her, breaking the news to him he was honestly shocked. "Y-You're implying..Its a good idea for me to be a thrall..?" Its not that he didn't believe it, its just that its shocking after making such lunatic claims towards Miana. Only to be slapped with 2 new truths in the face. "I see..But, I am not sure how Blackthorne feels after I let out my emotions a little..She doesn't seem horrible. Definitely not heartless..She almost..Reminds me of a human mother. As twisted as that sounds.." He rose his arm down, the wound stopping the flood of blood. "I've always been like this, ever since a child. When my adrenaline kicks in, my heart begins to strain itself. I'd have to...Puke my blood out. And pound my chest as you saw, elsewise I had a high risk of my heart failing altogether." He swam next to Alicia sinking down further into the water since he was naked. "I've given you enough information, yes? How about you give me some..What is it like for you to be a Vampire? What are your thoughts on my question?" Miana's hospitality must have intrigued this vampire hunter enough to ask such question. Maybe, he wants to change and to get along with his master, let alone savior at best since she didn't mistreat him despite his intentions to kill at first.

"Is that so.." Vance never considered a curse. "My own blood is my own curse, If I were to be dead honest. Vampires hook onto it like a drug." Hearing her stomach rumble sort of quietly to his ears, Vance's eyebrow couldnt help but arch up. "Is this the reason why she is so frail..?" He pondered as Alicia suckles onto the blood. As her taste buds are overwhelmingly coated in the drink, she could taste literal liquid sugar. It was sweet, too sweet. It was like drinking liquid lolipops made out of 100% sugar. It was so sweet if Alicia would continue to drink eventually she'd get lightheaded. So many nutritions being carried by one heart, no wonder Vance survived being a vampire hunter. Now, he isn't sure if she would do this but he requested anyway. "May you suck it all up? I dont want washing blood where others are bathing right now." He offers her everything that could potentially be suckled from one wound. "I mean, you're a vampire..You wouldn't reject some of it, right?" He stood there letting the slim nude vampire girl have a literal feast. The flavor is so exotic it surely makes her tongue tingle.

"..." Vance's eyes ease as Alicia reminds him of what would happen to a human if a more wicked vampire would catch them. He stays in silence, not even retaliating as he is having a moment. He can't help but suddenly avert his gaze towards Miana, until he notices they are making long eye contact now. He looks away rather fast, as Miana could observe slight guilt on his face, mixed with his usual anger. Not anger directed towards her this time though. Guilty anger. He began slightly contemplating and remembering those words he spoke to Miana. Unfortunately he couldn't catch her smile, but he watched her back as she left. Looking back at Alicia he has a proposal since Miana managed to peak his curiosity about the philosophy of vampires. "Alicia von Vulf. I'll just call you Alicia. I assume you already know my nam-" While Alicia barges in on his personal space Vance would almost freeze. She was so close. "What are you-" She hush him up rather fast. His heart beats irregularly. Actually, faster. Not as if he is having some sort of attack or something stuck inside it that is preventing it from beating. Vance respects her wish to stay silent. With her distancing he takes a moment for a breath. "I see..So you're interested in that...I would've appreciated a warning before you touch your head against me, Alicia." He brushes his chest listening to her questions. "..My scar, I received it from the nail of a vampire I killed long time ago. He was..A bit on the larger side and his nail was bigger. I think the reason why it is not healing is because its too deep.." He raises his hands showing them to Alicia. "I used to have scars here from trees and falling on the ground. But as you can see, my accelerated healing is not faltered." He raises them back down and approaches closer to Alicia. "I was always born with these feats.." Vance suddenly brings his wrist close to his mouth and bites down hard enough to tear the skin drawing his blood out. He brought the arm forwards to Alicia. "You're a vampire. You've drank blood to survive for centuries probably. Won't you be able to get your answer if you taste my blood?" He wasn't sure how Miana would feel about this, but she wasn't here now so it should be fine.
