No opposition, I'm just curious how she became a dhampyr.
This piece appears to be missing from the character's background.

Would love to know as well.

@StrawMan @Strife-and-Discord

because she almost died being born and her mother died giving birth to her

dhampyr isnt necessarily descended from a vampire,
at least i interpreted it to be more "death-touched" more than ancestry
I can drop that aspect though if you guys dont think it fits though

just let me know, and i'll change it up for just human

[Echo]

the more i think about it the more i think you guys are right
i'll drop the dhampyr part and just do human with house of ash

We've never been really concerned with how someone becomes a subrace have we? Or is the question mostly some fact finding about the nature of the pc's link with the undeath as a launch point for storylines?

Seems to me PC has an as yet undetermined link to undeath somewhere in her history. Part of her journey and communion/fascination with spirits and the undeath is to learn this family legacy and secret?

I am not against the Dhampyr and think you will do it justice
Was just interested :)

Pretty much this.

I wouldn't abandon the subrace.
If the how is still a mystery to explore at this point, wonderful.

...Just a sip, a little drip now...
Calls, the forbidden Cup of Jergal...

Sounds great, lovely to see a different Dhampyr background

It would completely be a mystery to her.
I'll edit the app to include something about exploring what she thinks is just an odd habit she picked up.

From Dragon Magazine #371, "Playing Dhampyr"

A rare crossbreed with several of the powers of a
vampire and none of the weaknesses, a dhampyr
is thought to be born of the union of a vampire
male and a mortal female. The truth is that such
hybrids are far more common than many folk
think. A dhampyr can result from a vampire
biting a pregnant female, as well as through more
mundane means. Some offspring carry the spark
of immortality in their veins for years, until the
kindling of fate gives the spark a place to catch.

Play a dhampyr if you want . . .
✦ a character of a usual race but with a secret twist.
✦ to play a hero a lot like a vampire.
✦ to have access to supernatural powers like those of a vampire.

Furthermore, the age at which dhampyr abilities manifest varies with each dhampyr.

• Maybe she's not her father's daughter and was fathered by a vampire.
• Maybe her mother was bitten, and never told anyone.
• Maybe her father carries the vampire traits but kept it secret.

Elara, however, does not know any of this. She just thinks she has a weird quirk of tasting blood now and then.

Putting this here but will update the subrace to be called “death touched.” More concept flexibility

Sounds good and better

[Echo]

Does that mean I can drop the vampire aspect?
Or, is the stuff I added good and I should keep it?

[Puffy]

I prefer the death touched aspect, but lets leave the background unknown for poor Wraith ;)

You can drop the vampire aspect or keep it. As long as there is something that links the pc to undeath in some way, that's all I would need to see.

Going to leave it as an unknown for Elara.
Could be hereditary through one of her parents
Could be because her mom died while Elara still wasnt "out" of the womb
Could be anything ...
