ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies Wizards and Heroes!

My god, it...it scars my very soul. So this is why you don't read the books in "Call of Cthulu".

EDIT: And in a moment of pagan-inspired luck, my roomie walked just after Inkubus Sukkubus' "Witches" stopped playing on my laptop. I would imagine I'd get some odd looks if she knew I was listening to pro-witch propaganda.

Depends on how amusing he found it, I imagine. Quite possibly, at least for a while...

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Then one might start by looking at his intense need to have power over others, stemming from abuse and seperation from peers when he was younger due to personality and appearance.

^_^

A perfectly rational response to such ill-treatment, really. Especially when you suddenly realise sometime around the age of puberty that you've developed meta-powers and all the people who hated you haven't...

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

And of course his abilities and weaknesses would make him consider himself vampire-like and traditionally vampires have a lot of power over mere mortals.

The blood drinking was a natural, if highly demented reaction to wanting to be more like a vampire.

There's also, of course, the fact that I think he just really, really likes the taste. >.>

Incidentally, of course, normal humans actually can't drink blood in any quantity - more than a pint at most, and generally you'll get quite radically sick. I assume it's his halfbreed nature that lets him actually, physically *do* what he does; which brings up the added consideration that the predisposition towards preying on/slaughtering humans seems to be core genetic encoding for anyone with Lilith's bloodline in them. (You want someone really messed up to analyse, talk to Blackout's distant cousin Skinner, who actually tried to resist his nature and be a normal human being for a while. That ended WAY badly.)

Not quite going to ask how you know that, but it makes sense.

Getting into his Lilin nature brings up the whole nature/nurture psychopathy debate and I'm not exactly well-versed in that area. I don't suppose he had any tendencies towards arson or animal-torturing or...well, we really only need two so I won't bother with the third.

[navigatorsghost.livejournal.com]

I suspect he may have killed animals for their blood and/or out of general predator instincts before he graduated to killing humans, but I'm not sure about that. Arson not so much, I think, though if there was a good reason to set something ablaze he wouldn't have had any qualms about it. But he doesn't have any particular love for fire - there's not much point in it when your powers are darkness-centric, for one thing...

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Mm. Well, they're not complete predictors and genetics here have a lot more to do with him than they do with a normal human psychopath, so I think that scenario can go away.
