A subspecies of Faerie.

[Fyrchick]

Sparkly.

[Hick Jr]

I believe there was a template in the thread for that, under Diamond Court. It was a little boring.

And I could see the sparklies being a subset of Sidhe. Perhaps an interbreeding between them and the White Court?

[Deadmanwalking]

They'd have Blood Drinker, Addictive Saliva, Feeding Dependency, Echoes of the Beast (for the senses), Inhuman or Supernatural in all the Physical stuff, a +0 Catch of completely destroying their body, and mental powers (probably mostly based off Incite Emotion) varying by the individual.

They're boring as hell really. No interesting weaknesses or ways to fight them, you just have to use extreme violence, and in terms of attitude and powers available they're mostly no different from any other vampires. There is absolutely nothing you can do with them you can't do better with some other variety of vampire.

[Hick Jr]

I imagined their ridiculous psychic abilities being extensions of Incite Effect, but hey. and they're not really interesting playable characters.

Play a leprechaun! Not like Lucky Charms, like Mad Sweeney!

i did find some stuff on them in the forums, thank you. I am just thinking of including them i was going to call them the alabaster court, but diamond court works as well. The movie versions are toned down a bit from the books. Myers background is that of a LDS, and i wonder how much her religious views of immortals influenced her version of vampire. Ultimately a faithful LDS becomes an immortal being. Ruling as god over part of creation. In any case lots of people don't like them here found that out so ill let the topic go.

Thanks for the help and the pointers.

Now, now... let's be nice. If Potestas needs assistance creating these Twilight vampires, we as a helpful board should offer aid.

Potestas, what exactly is throwing you in their creation? There was the Diamond Court (I remember them as they were tacked on to a thread I created about fan created vampire courts) but I don't think they were very distinct. I personally don't know a lot about Twilight, but if you'll allow me I will attempt to create a Dresdenized version of them when I get off work.

[Deadmanwalking]

I threw out a legitimate plan to create them. I guess I could write it out:

Echoes of the Beast [-1]
Addictive Saliva [-1]
Blood Drinker [-1]
Inhuman to Mythic Strength [-2 to -6]
Inhuman to Mythic Speed [-2 to -6]
Inhuman to Mythic Toughness [-2 to -6]
Inhuman to Mythic Recovery [-2 to -6]
The Catch is complete bodily destruction (and I mean complete) [+0]

Plus whatever mental powers the individual has, mostly using Incite Emotion as a base. So -11 to -30+ Refresh.

There, template made. Also, as I mentioned, kinda boring.

They also have a fire Catch. If you burn them, they stay crispy. Harry would probably short work of several of them. Particularly the "normal" ones. There's also one with Evocation and at least one Refinment so that he has access to all elements but Spirit.

And where do they get Addictive Saliva from?

Okay, cool. That ups the Catch to +2.

And where do they get Addictive Saliva from?

Don't they have some sort of addictive venom in their bite (which isn't quite the same, but close enough for government work)? Or am I confusing them with something else somewhere? Twilight isn't my strong suit, though I know the very basics.

[narphoenix]

Nope on the venom. Actually, it's painful and burns and sucks horribly.

[Deadmanwalking]

Ah, scrap that, then. Maybe add Claws and/or Venomous for this?

[narphoenix]

Nah. The painful burning and sucking horribly occurs primarily during turning.

[Hick Jr]

There has to be something interesting and unique about them. I'd personally stat them as an interbreeding between White Court vamps and the Sidhe. Most of their powers are actually covered in YS (Cassandra's Tears, various Channelings, Incite Emotion), but a couple might require some homebrew (Incite Effect?). I'd probably give them Venomous claws to represent the venom just so they're not Feeding Dependency Brick, The Template.
