Sam is a Vampire: The Requiem (V:TR) vampire, known as a "Kindred," mostly because it sounds pretentious and the Kindred really like euphemisms. At any rate, she has some powers. Some of them might do things to you. Take a look at her abilities below and post to let me know what is and isn't okay to do to your character. And remember, saying "Talk to me first" is a perfectly reasonable thing! I'm a super nice and squishy person. You can ping me on plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Vampiric Abilities That Probably Won't Impact You
Haven of Soil: Sam can sink down into a patch of soil and remain hidden there until she chooses to rise again or the soil around her is disturbed.
Claws of the Wild: Through the use of the blood in her system, Sam can grow long, sharp claws which she can use to cut things or aid her in climbing. They can also hurt people, but Sam really doesn't do that.
Coil of Banes: The Coil of Banes reduces the severity of several vampiric weaknesses in the V:TR world. As a student of the Coil, Sam is better able to resist a frenzy of fear, caused by fire. She can stay awake during the daytime. And she can withstand a certain amount of indirect sunlight.
Vampiric Abilities That Might Impact You, If You're A Vampire
Predator's Taint: Vampires in the world of V:TR exude what is known as a "predator's taint." In other words, Sam can tell if someone is a vampire or not just by being in the same room as them. This taint also tells her how powerful a vampire is, in relation to her.
Aspect of the Predator: Sam exudes a predator's taint to other vampires, as mentioned above. Because she has studied the discipline of Protean, her taint reads, "I am a predator who is your equal or superior."
Vampiric Abilities That Might Impact You No Matter What You Are
Command: Sam can issue a one-word command that must be obeyed, provided she can make eye contact with her victim and provided that the victim can follow this command with reasonable self-preservation. Should the command be something akin to "sleep" then the victim will immediately wake upon any kind of attack.
Mesmerize: Sam can implant a suggestion or false thought. She can give the victim a specific order to follow which lasts until the task is completed or until the end of the month.
Feeding: Well, naturally, a vampire needs to drink blood. Sam is not the sort of person who drains a human dry. In general, she takes about three pints per feeding. And here's the bonus: Being bitten by a V:TR vampire totally feels like a sexual experience. That's right. You'll enjoy being bitten. If anyone's willing to donate blood, she's on board with it. Tell me how you feel about that!
Blood: Sam's blood can also be consumed by others. It has a unique impact on vampires, binding them to her. In other words, they feel a pull of loyalty to her. They may like or dislike her, but they find it incredibly difficult to act against her will. Mortals who drink her blood become what is known in the V:TR world as "ghouls." A ghoul is a human being who has been supernaturally enhanced by vampire blood. A pint of blood lasts for a single month. During that time, a ghoul stops aging completely, automatically becomes stronger and more durable than normal, and has the potential to learn low levels of Sam's disciplines. Ghouls can also heal much quicker than your average human being, so Sam could potentially feed her blood to someone to stop them from dying. (Note: Ghouling is an extremely complicated process. I am certainly open to plots revolving around ghouling, but there is a lot more to it than what's written above. I'm including this mostly to advertise that it's a possibility. Feel free to contact me to discuss ghouling more in depth.)
Phew! Okay, that's a lot of information to take in, and that's not including her mundane abilities, like her mad skillz with firearms or her ability to paint a reasonably good likeness of you! As a baseline, if you can fill out the following form, we can figure out the rest as we go:

no subject
Feeding: Can Sam feed off of your character?
If a vampire...
Predator's Taint: Can Sam "sense" that your character is a vampire? How powerful or old are they?
Aspect of the Predator: Can your vampire be tricked into believing that Sam is their equal or superior?
no subject
Absolutely. You don't even need to ask, just do it.
Feeding: Can Sam feed off of your character?
Yes. Though Felicity is going to freak the frack out unless they talk about it first.
no subject
Feeding: Can Sam feed off of your character?
A soft no, it depends on how she goes about it.
If a vampire...
Predator's Taint: Yes, and Cami is a baby vamp so Sam's stronger than her to begin with.
Aspect of the Predator: She already is, so yes?
no subject
Feeding: Cisco would probably not be into it ngl
DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD SENSE SUPERPOWERS, for metas, I wonder.......
no subject
Feeding: Sam probably doesn't want to. As a TVD werewolf, Tyler's blood is toxic to vampires (and I'd like to keep that consistent, if at all possible).
no subject
Feeding: She can try, I wouldn't advise it
If a vampire...
Predator's Taint: Sure, Kisa is a 500 year old culebra, a more repitlian version of vampires, and very powerful, one of the most powerful of her world
Aspect of the Predator: probably not
