 Questions on Psi-Vampirism
|
 |
|
A few questions that have come up in my quest to figure out just what it is about me that makes me feel so different and disconnected from the average population.
1. Can an unawakened psi-vamp subconsciously keep themselves from feeding for an extended period of time if they're aware enough of energy to fear it?
2. What would happen to an unawakened psi-vamp if they were deprived of energy (by choice or not) for an extended period of time?
3. Can a psi-vamp gain energy from sources other than people? (i.e. wind, trees, moonlight)

1. Can an unawakened psi-vamp subconsciously keep themselves from feeding for an extended period of time if they're aware enough of energy to fear it?
If they're unawakened, then they aren't even aware that they are in fact draining energy, so I would guess that the answer is no.
2. What would happen to an unawakened psi-vamp if they were deprived of energy (by choice or not) for an extended period of time?
Again, if they are unawakened, they are probably feeding subconsciously. If they weren't, I expect they would experience symptoms similar to an awakened vamp when they are deprived of energy such as fatigue, weakness, headaches, etc.
3. Can a psi-vamp gain energy from sources other than people? (i.e. wind, trees, moonlight)
Yes. Some vampires drain from non-human sources more proficiently than others, and may use it as a substitute, or as their primary feeding method.

So I read this, was gonna reply later, than COMPLETELY forgot about it. Because I win like that. *facepalm*
Okay, so, the questions I posted before were taken as three separate questions. Now what if they're all one? Here's a not-really-hypothetical situation. Unawakened psi-vamp is aware of energy enough to be afraid of it and avoid the energy of other people, while being open to the energy of the earth (wind, trees, moonlight, etc). Unawakened psi-vamp is slightly aware of taking in energy (in the sense of "nature energizes me") but is not getting enough energy (although also not seeking it out, being the type of person who prefers the indoors), resulting in headaches, weakness, fatigue, etc, all of which is unexplainable by doctors.
So. Is this plausible? LOL

Somewhat, I suppose. But the second they become aware of what's happening, that doesn't really constitute as unawakened. In that case, they're probably just awakening.

*scratches head* So... you can be aware of energy, taking it in and avoiding it, not being aware that you *need* it, nor what that makes you... and be awakened?

Disclaimer: I haven't read this whole thread, just the last reply.
That said, awakening is different for everyone. Some people are awake from the get-go, others awake at some point in their life, and yet still others never awaken. Meaning that since there is a variety in awakenings (or lack of), I would guess that what you said could probably be true.

It makes you someone who is aware of taking in and avoiding energy, but not aware that you "need" to . . . that's more useful than whether or not to call yourself awakened.

Also taking energy in and avoiding it is a good description for some (key word) energy workers. So it'd make sense for a person to be confused. While Psi Vampire are energy workers per say, an 'average' person can do this as well. The only difference is is that a psi needs it to function properly.
