[stares at tumblr while shaking my head disapprovingly] they don't even know IRATE's a creature now and that he's in love with Darnold(<- he has not shared any of the IRATE lore outside the re:y2kvr server)
n e ways uhhhh fuckin lore dump
IRATE (ECMS-4-Xen) is a failed prototype for a Black Mesa project, where they were basically trying to make genetically advanced soldiers with Xen DNA. He was the first to actually survive and kept around to be studied to improve upon future generations.
He's a defect due to being tiny and very alien looking with little to no alien abilities aside from shapeshifting.
He was then later stuck together with Benrey due to the two meeting and immediately bonding, Forzen was able to keep Benrey calm and mostly cooperative, so the scientists just said "fuck it" and let them stick together.
Forzen and Benrey are not the same type of Xen creature, but they're very similar.
Then, once the main scientist he was under the care of (Dr. Reece) retired, he was separated more from Benrey and got put through more of the military stuff due to not really having anyone to advocate for him.
Also, he and Dr. Reece do not have a parent-child relationship, while Reece did care about Forzen he didn't see him as his own kid or anything.
He was only there during the ResCas due to the project higher-ups just sending any of the rejects to be death fodder to keep the successful ones alive. He was very much freaking the fuck out during that and just trying to stay alive til he managed to get out.
Once the shit with Gordon happened, he was kept updated by Benrey and only brought in once Darnold (Dr. Right) contacted him due to needing help with Joshua. They became close, but due to Forzen being very much an outsider he more so saw it as just an "oh I'm just helping the Science Team" thing.
Forzen wants to help to prove that he's good, he has a lotta fuckin guilt from being a product of Black Mesa and a very strong moral code. He was created to be nothing more than a weapon, and he doesn't know how to be anything more than that, along with not having any time to adjust or get help for his issues.
Forzen goes into "I have to fix this" mode and tracks down G-Man to make a deal with him to take Freeman's place, though G-Man isn't known for having an honest nature.
The rp and lore stuff has yet to continue, but IRATE now works under G-Man with basically little to no memory of who he was, Freeman is still Freeman and now Darnold is gonna have to figure out what happened and what to do

so yesterday i posted what my personal werewolf lore was and so today you’re getting my vampire lore . like i stated in my wolf lore , this is open to tweaking and picking and choosing if things don’t match up with your lore . we can make things work between our lores ( :
also like my werewolf lore , i will more than likely add as i go on and more things come to me .
✚ unlike lycanthropy , vampirism is a disease alone . you cannot pass it down .
✚ there is no known information as to how the first vampire originated . the oldest known vampire is from the early 1100s , and he’s become so decrepit and crazy from living such a long life that nobody has ever gotten a straight or same answer .
✚ the only way someone can become a person is if they’re killed with a vampire’s blood in their system . this is usually done by drinking a vampire’s blood but it can’t also be injected , or poured into an open wound .
✚ vampires who sire new vampires often have a connection to their fledglings in the first couple of days . this can influence a fledeling’s habits . for example : a vampire on a binge who sires another vampire during this time will usually result in the fledgling going on a binge as well .
✚ a sire can also feel when a fledgling has been killed and vice versa . however the other passed , the other feels similar effects and pain , though at a muted level . unless they’re older , the moment incapacitates the vampire for at least a day .
✚ vampires are strongest during the full moon and weakest during the new moon .
✚ if a vampire is well-fed during a full moon , their strength .
✚ on the other hand , a vampire during a new moon often has a larger appetite and have less self-restraint when it comes to feeding . during new moons are when turnings are usually at their highest rate .
✚ vampires live in what are called covens .
✚ covens are usually led by one head , though larger covens have been known to have more than one .
✚ covens tend to house together or in the same area ( ie : all in the same apartment complex / neighborhood ) . they feel a pull to the members to stay close by one another in case of any sort of threats .
✚ covens often are very selective and exclusive . siring is something you get permission from your head and if you don’t , older covens are known for kicking the member out .
✚ ‘ lost covens ‘ are covens that are mainly made up of around ten older vampires and abandoned fledglings . they’re considered ‘ modern ‘ covens and sneered at by the older generations .
✚ attributes to vampires include : inhuman strength , senses and grace , supernatural healing abilities , and immortality as well as certain physical appearance changes .
✚ vampires are stronger than werewolves . their strength allows them to jump higher and further . as they age they become stronger .
✚ they’re extremely graceful and are light-footed . their footsteps are silent , and since they don’t actually need to breathe you can’t usually hear them come up behind you .
✚ their sight , smell , hearing and taste are all enhanced ; all stronger for the hunt . their hearing they can kind of control like one would the volume on their headphones and their sight can span up to about a half mile away . they can smell and taste things like , alcohol and drugs in someone’s blood system . ( this often gives a vampire similar side effects and seeked out at times . )
✚ they’re immortal but can be killed . the easiest way is by staking them , but you can also decapitate them or burn them alive by stranding them in direct sunlight .
✚ a vampire’s eyes are usually a reddish-brown color ( #762700 to #6A2300 for html color reference ) . the younger the vampire the lighter the eye color .
✚ they’re skin is normally a lighter than when they were human but their don’t lose all of their melanin .
✚ their fangs are retractable , but their canines are sharper than the average human beings .
✚ they are very attractive beings . if you weren’t attractive as a human you sure as hell are now .
✚ they give off a natural pheromone that lures humans in unknowingly . to werewolves they just smell like they put too much perfume / cologne on .
✚ even the oldest of vampires cannot walk in direct sunlight .
✚ sunlight burns them , and can cause second to third degree burns .
✚ a vampire can walk in direct sunlight with the help of daylight jewelry . these are often in the form of rings and necklaces , though bracelets , watches and hair pieces have also been seen . the most common stone used is lapis lazuli but moonstone harvest during a full moon also works .
✚ they cannot walk around without their daylight accessories in cloudy or rainy weather . it’s thought that the uv rays are what effect them not necessarily just the sun’s rays .
✚ their bodies only receive nutrients from blood , but they can eat actual food .
✚ while they can eat human food for the sake of looking normal , they will end up throwing it up later on in the day . their bodies cannot digest actual food anymore .
✚ fresh blood is the best option when feeding , though bagged blood and even the blood of the already deceased and animals will work . much like produce though , the fresher the better though .
✚ a majority of vampire ‘ weaknesses ‘ are all fake .
✚ mirrors : vampires can see their reflections in the mirror as can others .
✚ garlic : it doesn’t keep them away but it does smell and they don’t like it . it’s not going to keep them away .
✚ holy water & religious symbols : holy water stings , but does not burn . ingesting it in large amounts will make one sick though . religious symbols burn , but some vampires will grow immune to it if they wear it long enough even then though
✚ invitation : a vampire does not need an invite in order to enter a residence .
✚ vampires can feel pain , though in a very vague sense
✚ major and minor cuts and stabbing ( with anything other than a wooden stake ) feel usually no more like a papercut or a cat scratch
✚ direct sunlight will give second to third degree burns depending on how long one is exposed to it . it feels like a very , very bad sunburn . if exposed for too long though it will kill a vampire .
✚ this are a few ways you can kill a vampire .
✚ it must be to the heart though in order to work . otherwise you’ve got a very irate vampire . any sort of wood will do for the job .
✚ decapitating a vampire will result in death .
✚ prolonged exposure to sunlight .
✚ starvation will eventually kill a vampire , though it is a long , slow , painful process and usually a vampire’s choice of killing another vampire .
✚ they do not have any correlation with bats and honestly don’t know where that thought came from .
✚ they don’t say bleh , bleh , bleh .
✚ vampires are able to have children , but as stated in the first bullet point , the vampire disease does not carry over .
✚ females are not able to have children .
✚ because of this , females are known to turn children as young as three years old .
✚ vampires who are turned so young , and up to age thirteen are often killed off early on because while their minds mature and grow their bodies do not and they often go mad because of it .
✚ many older vampires ( around as young as one hundred depending on self-restraint and work ethic ) are financially well off . this is just due to being able to save for so long .
✚ many vampires know how to play the system such as the stock market and pull out before anything crashes .
✚ many are in new technology . it isn’t uncommon for a vampire to be the founder of a new social media platform or app , especially in this day and age .
✚ some just spent the early days looting .
✚ vampires are able to compulse somebody to do something .
✚ this is normally how vampires get consent to feed on live humans .
✚ this is always a temporary thing . you cannot influence somebody for an extended time into the future and fades the farther you move away from said person . so you can’t tell somebody to do something in the future past an hour ( or up to six hours later if you are particularly skilled in this area )
✚ while most people have a fuzzy recollection of that happened , most don’t remember it at all . the feeling is similar to being blacked out .
✚ you can warp a memory from the influence but it doesn’t extend past changing your appearance in the case the person remembers .
✚ older vampires can use this on younger vampires as well . in this case it’s usually with younger fledglings who are messengers .
✚ vampires are very territorial .
✚ this differs slightly from werewolves . while werewolves are territory in a land sort of sense , vampires are in a feeding ground sense ???
✚ basically werewolves don’t like each other on their property at all . sure they have to co-exist in the same area and often cross pack territory lines on a regular basis but it doesn’t necessarily like it . ( take my muse jimin for example . the guy HATES non-pack members stepping foot into his house and if he could avoid walking into another pack’s territory he wold ) . meanwhile , vampires don’t care where you go as long as you don’t feed in their area .
✚ a vampire marks their coven’s feeding ground perimeters by usually leaving a ‘ blood mark ‘ on things such as telephone poles , fences , etc .
✚ a blood mark is exactly what it sounds like . the coven leader uses an open wound to stain the object with their blood . even when washed away or dried , a vampire can smell the blood and usually knows to steer clear .
✚ these marks aren’t permanent though and usually need to be redone every month to month in a half depending on what the weather is like . in the winter they can last up to almost three months .
✚ crossing feeding lines and feeding there commonly results in death . the coven of the vampire who crossed lines doesn’t hold it against the other because it’s viewed as SUPER disrespectful .
