>>>>>[As far as the psychic energy that feeds me, you are right. I have to
take it from a (meta)human source, in my case a source that gives it to me
freely. I refuse to kill someone like this unless I feel that they are mentally
strong enought to handle the transition to vampirism, and even then it is
really tough and I don't do it often. But even vampires need normal food from
time to time. As the vampires I know can't consume anything besides blood, and
in my case anything else makes me retch, especially alcohol, so normal day to
day energy and cellular regeneration has to come from the blood I purchase from
the blood bank. As far as other sources of psychic energy, I can drain from
other vampires, nosveratu, wendigo, goblins, dzoo-na-qua, banshees, etc. As a
matter of fact, they are generally my targets, especially wendigo and banshees.
Their energies "taste" really bad, but they are much more of a danger than most
of the vampires I know and nowbody seems to complain if I drain a life-sucker
to keep myself alive, especially if it just happened to be a mass-murderer or
something similar. As for cyberware and stuff, most of my modifications are
actually top-of-the line bioware, cultured or better. This means that it is
cloned off my own tissues and augments me without putting anything in me that my
body dislikes. And after a short period of re-adjustment, my body accepts it
like anything that belongs in me, so my bioware literally becomes a part of me.
And my cyber is just a little problem. Mine is so high-tech that it was custom
done to suit my unique physiology and needs. Tailored cyber reduces the cost
and problems associated with cyber, and my body adjusts to it as well, after
about a month or two of my having to concentrate 24 hours a day so that my
body doesn't reject it. And there are drugs out there(forgive me if I don't say
where) that can literally keep a vampire or similar being from regenerating
for a short period of time, generally just long enough so that the HMHVV carrier
is totally brain dead and un-raisable. So that's how I survive. Hope that
answered some questions. If not, just ask away.]<<<<<
