Resonance

RESONANCE

Though not uncommon for mortals to remark on how “you are what you eat,” it’s even truer for Kindred. Blood is not purely for survival or enjoyment, it can actually enhance vampiric abilities. You see, not all blood is the same. Those that sip and savior may realize the difference. More so, those Kindred who can read auras say that there are several specific colors. Through history, these have been associated with the classical elements, Jungian functions, humorism, and more.

AURAS

The colors of an aura change in sympathy with the subject’s emotional state, blending into new tones in a constantly dancing pattern. The stronger the emotions involved, the more intense the hues become. A skilled vampire can learn much from her subject by reading the nuances of color and brilliance in the aura’s flow. These colors are roughly comparable to what are describe when defining different resonance. However some more specific variations are listed below.

Condition	Color
Diablerist	Black veins throughout
Kindred	Colors are pale
Ghoul	Pale blotches in color
Magic User	Myriad of sparkles in aura
