Hi! In our lore, only witches and werewolves have groups of their own. Vampires don't need the collective, although nothing keeps them from forming any sort of bonds within groups. It's just not mandatory.

Thank you for your question!

Hello! The VSP is a social program and every vampire who's part of it volunteers to aid newly-turned vampires or those who just moved to Nova Pangaea (something like an AA sponsor, the difference would be that the vampire would be more present in their lives to monitor their behavior and be certain of how reliable the vampire is to get their accessory that allows them to walk in daylight). So it isn't a full-time job. They'll have their regular job and assist in the program if they'd like to. 

Hope this answers your question and thank you for your interest in Astoria!

Hi there! 

It doesn’t take too long for mortals to become vampires, actually. Once they die with vampire blood in their systems, they come back to life within a couple of hours as a vampire.

Thank you so much for your question and we hope to have helped!

Hello, we have no set limit about a vampire’s age (perhaps all we would think that's interesting to take into account while creating a really old vampire is their perception of time, the amount of people they've lost through the course of their life, if they are tired after surviving through so many things or if there's still a sparkle of optimism about being "alive"). And you’re free to choose for how long your character would have been a vampire for now. In the roleplay our oldest vampire so far would be 347 years old, which is around the 1600′s.

Hopefully this helps and we can’t wait to read your application!

Hello! Aside from vampires (who can be killed but they won't age once they're turned), every other species is mortal so they age similar to humans (the one difference you may find in our lore is that werewolves stop shifting to their wolf form after they are 65 years old). You’re able to find general information about our species in the lore page right here, but if you already set about what kind of species you’d like to apply to in our roleplay, we’d advise you take a look at their page. We know that it’s extensive, but it might give you a better image of how the species works in our roleplay.

But, above it all, you’re always free to send us questions or come to us privately to share your doubts about it. We love clarifying them!

Thank you for your question and we can’t wait to read your application!

Hello! Yes, they could have sired connections. The person who was turned by someone else could have some affection to the vampire that turned them. And about compelling humans, you can find more information at our extended vampire’s lore right here, which shares when those compellings would go against the rules and, eventually, be illegal. 

Some things you should know: supernatural beings are compellable, but if the witch is old/experienced enough, especially if they are natural witches, they can break the mind compulsion. 

Hello, hello!

That’s not a dumb question at all, and it actually reminded me to double check our lore to make sure it’s there, but to answer your question, unfortunately in our lore, they can’t. We didn’t want to dwelve deep into technicalities, because then it would be too complicated (even for us), but since they’re dead, they’ve stopped producing bodily fluids.

Thank you so much for your question and hopefully we’ll see an app from you soon! If there’s anything else we can help you with, come to us!
