Mm. The sun doesn't bother me, and I don't need to be invited into buildings.

[ he can't even argue the "brain bug" thing, it kinda is. ]

Interesting handicaps...

[ a glance toward astarion's ears ]

A part of your physiology?

[ the ears flick. yay. ]

Yes, but if you're referring to the ears specifically, being an elf didn't stop me from going into the sun. [ the way i was like god he has like three unique physiology things going on, help me. ]

[ help ]

Then what did?

[ he just curls his lip back, so the fangs no one comments on despite them being right there and karlach calling him fangs in front of god and everyone i love everyone and their commitment to the ic/ooc divide very much, are on display. ]

Vampirism, mostly.

Ah, like the monster.

[ wrinkles his fucking nose at that. ]

Is it incorrect?

For Cazador, yes.

[ ... ]

Spawn can't turn people, which is half of people's fears alleviated.

And so you are... vampiric spawn?

Correct. Contrary to popular belief, someone bitten doesn’t become a “full” vampire without an extra step.

And that extra step is?

Drinking from the sire.

Ah, I see. And when your 'sire' is a manipulative prick, that means you're unlikely to wrest any power from him.

Most of them are. Why create a vampire of equal standing who might one day topple you from your comfortable seat of power? I assume most cases of vampires being created are accidental.
