Roleplay Difficulty: Above Average |
Vampire is a stealth antagonist role exclusive to Starlight servers, who begins the round disguised as a normal crew member but has access to supernatural powers that scale with the amount of blood they harvest. They come to the station with their own set of objectives which can range from petty theft, to murder, but will always include something in relation to blood.
Relation to SOP and Corporate Law
Despite being overtly an antagonist, existing as a vampire is not inherently a crime in itself. It is in some cases possible to fulfill all your objectives while remaining a law abiding crewmember if you can find willing blood donors. Although your mere existence will attract scrutiny from security, and might invoke a holy war with the Chaplain.
Innate weaknesses
Space (regardless of EVA suit protection) will deal additive heat damage (1+1, 2+1, 3+1, etc.) over time to any vampire who has left the station/spacecraft. Notably, a vampire that dies to space damage will instantly be turned to ash. This weakness prevents fleeing off station to escape security, or breaking into offices from the outside unless done with great celerity.
After feeding on at least one victim, vampires become irreversibly harmed by holy forces. These include merely standing close to shrines, contact with holy water, contact with the bible, or the blood of a chaplain holding a bible. Note that poor map design may have shrines that spawn in maints, making access to infrastructure such as medical or HoP out of your reach after your first feed.
Innate abilities

Victim's eyes are damaged when their blood is consumed, severely hampering their vision. |
