The Blood Beckons “I can see hear and even taste their blood even from here.”

4
The power to detect all nearby Creatures, Undead, and Humans and Animate beings with flowing blood.
Used by Lucian Evermore, Created by jwesley123.
(This Effect has no explicit visibility requirement.)

As Lucian, the vegan vampire, stands in the cool nighttime breeze, he takes a moment to embrace the darkness and open his heightened senses to the world around him. His keen vampire senses enable him to perceive details that elude ordinary humans.

With his supernatural olfactory senses, Lucian can detect the subtlest scents in the air. He inhales deeply, letting the myriad aromas flow through him. His nose twitches slightly as he distinguishes the scent of humans nearby, their individual nuances and the unique composition of their blood calling out to him.

Lucian's ethically driven nature means he won't harm humans, but he can still appreciate the complexity of their scents and the richness of their life forces. In this moment, he doesn't feast, but rather, he relishes the connection to the living world, a world he navigates with a sense of responsibility and compassion.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless must have drank blood in the last 12 hours.

You automatically detect all Creatures, Undead, and Humans and Animate beings with flowing blood within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

If no Creatures, Undead, and Humans or Animate beings with flowing blood targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Can not enter a domestic house without someone inside inviting him in without succeeding on a self-control roll.
