The power to feed off the trauma of others in order to sustain oneself. Variation of Emotional Vampirism.
Also Called[]
- Trauma Absorption/Feeding
Capabilities[]
Users with this ability are capable of feeding upon traumatic thoughts and emotions much as a traditional vampire feed upon blood; this will often revitalize the user while inevitably draining the victim, with the end-result often being to drive the victim to insanity or death.
Applications[]
- Death Inducement
- Emotional Vampirism (Limited to trauma)
- Physical Augmentation (For short periods after feeding)
- Insanity Inducement
Limitations[]
- Like all forms of vampirism, it is a parasitic power, thus users may die if deprived of sufficient trauma.
- The feeding is usually fatal to a victim, even survival may result in permanent insanity.
- Strong-willed individuals and those with resistance to leeching, parasitism and/or vampirism are unharmed.
