The Act of Embrace | Lore discussion

[DarkMasta]

When one is embraced, the body of said person evens out all it's imperfections.
I know I read this somewhere and I wanted to start the post with the quote but apparently I didn't read it in the wiki. I will update it if I find it.

This might be one of a few (or many) Lore threads that I will post. So regarding the topic at hand.

So after being embraced, the body changes getting rid of imperfections and gains a pale and unnatural deathly beauty. What defines an imperfection? After the embrace the person will no longer have let's say, crooked teeth and have them lined up? Will scars disapear? Or by imperfections will it be things like scoliosis, where it will fix your spine?

Also "the childe will experience hours of painful burning sensations as his or her body undergoes the process of death and disposes of needless waste."

To what degree will the embrace even out these imperfections or what is considered an imperfection that can be changed by the embrace? And what are needless waste? Does the person expel all his bodily fluids save for blood? I would think so at least.

i dunno what drugs your on.. but.. wow just wow...

[DarkMasta]

Dunno why or what I said that got that reaction but ok

The expulsion of waste would be things like urine and feces, as any human body does after death. As for the imperfections, I believe the Embrace of Claudia in the Interview with the Vampire movie is a perfect example of the "improvements" made by the change. I'm not sure if the Embrace could fix something as severe as scoliosis though and it'd be a very strange vampire who'd choose to Embrace someone suffering from something of that nature. The Embrace also doesn't reverse time, so things like age wrinkles would remain and so on. It's likely just slight alterations to possibly make the person more attractive, though that may not be the case with certain Clans where beauty isn't a primary need like the Brujah, Gangrel, Tremere, and of course the Nosferatu.

That makes the embrace so less appealing haha. Having the person piss and ♥♥♥♥ herself. Has for the scoliosis, I would like to believe it would fix that problem but I don't know.

Wow I did not know this cool little fact.

please don't crucify me if i am wrong, i don't know much lore, i am interested in learning though

An imperfection among vampires sounds like to be anything that keeps the human from being like that vampire. So a human would compose slightly for the Nosferatu, or become more stronger for the Brujah or Grengel. If its like anything like demonic possession, then the first thing that would happen would be for the spirit to fix its host body, but from what i hear is if that process is reversed (exorcism) then what injured the human comes back (crushed bones, organ problems, etc etc)

after all, you never hear of a vampire with a disability. well i never have

I don't think the Embrace would make you magically buff or even fit, but it could include stuff like "curing" muscle atrophy and/or faster fat burning, or faster detoxxing, maybe fixing some skin conditions or diseases (although perhaps not leprosy or flesh eating bacteria). As for attractiveness, I think it would be more like accentuating your features to make you more naturally beautiful.

You die. You stop using your body for 90% of all the things it does normally. you look forever like you did when you were alive, but paler cause your loss of blood. You do not gain beauty. Or weed out imperfections. Where the hell did you read that garbage?
