So, yeah, I'm going to try to get my questions out of the way before I try to sort out Felix's profile. Hopefully nothing I have to ask has either been already clarified or just plain common sense.
First of all, level one electrokinesis (which is a fun word :3). It is stated that it can power something small, like say, an ipod, correct? My question is, would it be really draining to do something that little, and would it be possible to just charge it one or would I have to charge constantly? Of course, putting it back on its charger would make more sense, but still. Also, would the low-grade shocks at that level be small enough to be attributed to static electricity, or would they be more noticeable?
Also, in regards to the Academy, does Felix have to start there? Or if he does, what should I read to make sure he's not too out of place? (I could just say he's a recluse who doesn't ever leave his room outside of classes and training, but...yeah). Are students allowed to go home during holidays and stuff or are they required to stay at school year-round until they graduate from the University?
Most of this, of course, is just idle curiosity but I would nonetheless be grateful if someone could enlighten me. ^-^

O-kay! Whether or not it's draining depends on the character. It probably wouldn't be tiring for someone with moderate experience using their Gift, but for someone who just discovered their Gift, it might be. That one's up to you. :) You could zap a small object once and have it be charged. Low-grade shocks would be a little more noticable than static electricity.
I'm not sure what you mean when you ask if Felix has to start at the Academy. You could have him actually begin to attend school later in the rp, if that's what you mean. You could also have him not attend the school at all; some Gifted Ones simply haven't been discovered by Agents yet. But usually, when someone develops a Gift, an Agent pops up and tells them to go to The Academy. I hope one of those hit the target. XD
EDIT: You are allowed to go home during the holidays, as well.

Thanks a bunch! I don't really have much in mind for him yet, but since I'm a newb here, that doesn't bother me. I just know I wanna zap stuff. Plus, think of the money you must save on batteries and cell phone chargers once you get the hang of it! XD

 Our current vampires are based off the old WoM vampires, who could not eat or drink unless it was blood, and if they did so, they'd have to throw it up. That rule is still in practice. See somewhat repetitive but necessary explanation below: According to most mythos, vampires cannot eat or drink; they are said to be unable to digest such. In some cases, such as Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (and even Twilight) vampires can eat food, but they will automatically cough it up/throw it up later, as they still can't digest it. It is often said to taste like ash or dirt, but as we never established a "taste rule," so I guess that's really up to you. If you all prefer to have food taste yummy but be un-digestable, that's fine with me. Some vampires will pretend to eat among mortals, or simply watch mortals eat. In the Buffyverse, vampires can feed from extremely rare meats. Sucking the blood out of bloody meat is a-okay. Eating the meat with a fork and knife is not. Vampires can feed from humans, animals, and other vampires, though feeding from another vampire will weaken the vampire losing blood. That vampire will probably have to go feed right after being fed from, if much blood is drained. * Since the no-eat rule is based off of vampire lore that simply says it won't work, if someone can argue that vampires would be able to digest food, keeping in mind that vampires are more or less made of Magical Fairy Dust, I'll change the rule. They should certainly be able to smoke, though. |

Ugh, WoM. yes, that is my entire response. Mosh vampires aren't Alchemy Vampires. XD EDIT: If converted directly to Mosh, "Alchemy Vampire" WoM-Jael would have Telepathy, Grav. Rejection, Pyrokinesis, Super Speed/Strength/Regen, Adoptive Muscular Memory, Ocular/Vocal Enhancement, Bio-Crystallization (more or less) and whatever Chrissy suggested that makes you able to walk up walls. |

my lack of anything at the mention of that place was more due to the ties that were severed with a blunt object and having lye poured on them afterward.

I figured this was more or less our belief, but I would certainly prefer if they could eat. I'd like to stay as far away from Twilight as humanly possible, but we'll just make sure we don't have any sparkly vampires and it should be alright. Things could pass reasonably undigested, zombie style? Or they could eat more basic dishes while extra rich/spicy/seasoned food could make them sick, throw-up, etc. Most vampires would opt out of eating human food simply because it tastes like dirt or ash, but some could come to like or stand it, maybe even recognizing old, faint tastes with enough sentimentalism and imagination.
Actualy argument is probably something like: unlike the mythos of old Vampires, where they were creatures of the devil, more supernatural forces that appeared like humans and were always decidedly evil and wicked murderers (always harmed by Holy items), our species seems to fall more under the P. N. Elrond, late Anne Rice jurisdiction where they're incredibly humanized, yet completely conflicted with their humanity. In these fandoms creatures of the night are often able to at least drink, which would imply the ability to digest food as well. The idea seems to be that they're dead, which means they don't need food for sustenance, but if their lungs work to smoke, why can't the basic functions of their stomach, colon, etc work, to at least move food through their body? It would be sort of a gamble, whether or not the food would stay down, which would be another deterrent from trying to eat regular food (especially because if one were to get violently sick, they would become weak and then just need to go feed). but would be nice if the option was there. I think it could make for enough interesting RP moments.

Eating food for sentimentality or what have you would be just fine. I kind of like that. However, I don't know what you mean by "reasonably digested, zombie style?"
Did you just tell me what I'm arguing? :/
Ricean vampires can't drink, as far as I can remember, and we're based off them. I don't know P.N. Elrond.
If we do ultimately decide that vampires still can't eat food and keep it down, your thread will not be affected; if Delacoix has already eaten something somewhere, we can just suppose it didn't stay down. Or something. :/

zombie style I was referring to the idea in some fandoms - like with Solanum - that zombie's can't digest anything, and since they don't need to eat, whatever goes in usually just flows back out nearly undigested. but that's pretty gross, haha. |

You think we should do that with our vampires? o_0 |
