| Re: Story idea --- Kincaid the Vampire
OK. I've brainstormed over the 'blood bond' that a vampire holds over vamps and thralls he/she has sired.
In my work, I've laid it out that the bond is overstated in folklore. While a sire might have influence a Newborn or thrall, due to the blood exchange, it's not a ball and chain, per se. The sire's own personal charisma plays a big part.
So even thralls can say 'no'. It just depends on the degree of enthrallment, and the character of the sire.
In my universe, there are precious few slobbering wackos like Dracula's Renfield. |
