Now that you've joined the ranks of the undead, you need to understand the rules. For you, blood is the key to your survival. But its more than just the stuff of Hollywood movies. In this game, blood gives you power and helps you maintain respectability. By keeping your blood points high, you stay away from the bestial nature of the vampire - which is good, since if you run out of blood, you become a raving lunatic that the cops shoot on sight. All of your Disciplines or vampiric powers are fueled by blood. Its obviously important therefore, to find a steady supply without your true nature becoming public information. So where do you find a torrent of blood to stem the tide?
Well, for starters there are lonely people in bars that need your attention. No matter if you are playing a male or female vampire, you can become the epitome of seduction through careful placement of your talent points. Then when your skill is high enough, you will see one or two humans in each section of town (in the bars) that will be more than willing to become available at your request. Every time you go back to the same bar, they are there waiting to expose their necks for your pleasure. The caveat is that you don't ever want to drain them completely or they'll be permanently dead and your source will be gone. The good part is that since they become willing victims, no alarms are raised when you partake of their vital fluids.
But you can't just rely on these individuals. Thankfully there are other sources. In the basement of the hospital, there is a ghoulish human who enjoys selling blood to vampires - and yes, he does know you are one. Here you can purchase bags of the good stuff from the local blood bank. Kinda handy, huh?
There is also a young woman (or man, if you're playing a female vampire) who is sick in one of the hospital rooms. If your conversational skills are high enough, you'll get the opportunity to feed her some of your own essence. A while later, she'll show up and become your own personal ghoul. Yes, you get a permanent servant who will dress in various styles of attire for your pleasure and provide you a constant supply of blood. She will even bring in unsuspecting victims for you to take advantage of. Just don't drain her completely, or you lose your prize. Keep your eyes open, because there are plenty of cattle....ahem, humans to satisfy your needs. Oh, and if you are playing a Nosferatu, you may need to subsist on rats. But don't try this if you are one of the other clans, because it is considered vile, even by vampire standards.
