After the first episode of our second season, I came to the conclusion that my Mortal is no longer interested in her current (and first) lover. He seems like a tool now and doesn’t seem even the slightest bit interested in her. She (and I) don’t know what she ever saw in him to begin with. Ugh.
My Mortal’s new lover is her younger half-vampire sister (an NPC). It’s obviously not a romantic love (I’m not going for incest here), but a familial one. She (and I) realized that little sis is the most important person in her life, the one she cares the most about. And the one who is going to need the most protecting.
As a player this provides all kinds of drama as there have already been numerous opportunities to ignore how little sister treats my character and to ignore blatant problems with her behavior. This NPC seems like she will be the biggest source of drama for my Mortal to feed off of.
So, do you have any examples of strange lovers from any Mortals in your games?
Rewatching Ginger Snaps the other day, it did occur to me that Bridgette is basically a Mortal, with Ginger (her sister) her love.
I think you’re right James Graham.
