Soulgazing Monsters
« on: March 31, 2010, 01:07:42 PM »
Ok, we've seen Harry and Thomas, and then in White Night Ramirez and Lara.
So it's well established that you can soulgaze a full White Court vampire.

Have we ever seen or heard of a soulgaze with a Red Court? (And Susan doesn't count on two factors.)
Or Black Court for that matter?
And we can leave out the sticky "Why would you WANT to?" question.

Doesn't this imply that White Court are still, on some spiritual level, Human?
And as such, wouldn't the Laws count? (Barring a "vampire exception" clause?)

Could you soulgaze a Changling? (Not fully farie yet?)
"How do you carjack a Death Star?"

IMO, if something retains a portion of its original humanity, you can soulgaze 'em. So changelings count, and at least some White Court vampires count (possibly all) given how they originate as humans-fused-with-a-demon. RCVs when they turn over lose all of their humanity -- the outer form is just an illusion. BCVs are ex-humans.  Staring at either of those sorts in the eyes runs the risk of some wicked uber-hypnosis, too.
