This chart of female muses isn’t relevant to the muses I carry in my blog, BUT by association towards Jay ( as they are his aunts ) It would be noteworthy to mention how I’ve established the idea of ghouls in my world building and their functionality / presentation.
For context, Jay Erblindet’s family line form his mothers’ end are ghouls. Carrying some similarity to vampires when It comes to flesh and overall blood consumption, but having their own personal differences in some particular ways that would differentiate the two species.
Hostility wise, they are far more dangerous in comparison to vampires and even the Dracula himself. They have a natural high adrenaline bar and when having a remote taste of blood that is human – The blood-thirst arises and they will feast on those that are closest to them. At times, It doesn’t even matter if the target isn’t exactly human.
Maria, or known as Maria Pavoni - Erblindet (58), is the mother of the well known greaser vampire and from who he inherited most of his traits from.
Appearance wise It’s easy to discern based on the fact he carried out the blue eyes gene as well as the black curly hair ( while not exactly curly, he’s horrid with finding proper hair care items for his hair type ) although did not carry out the fear neither the allergy for feline animals.
In fact, he strongly loves the feline kind.
No matter how big the cat is. As long as It is a cat. A tiger will do as well.
That to be said, his of fear of water is amplified through an inherited ghoul gene of their natural fear of water. You see, ancestor ghouls in no way had ability to survive lakes as their natural habitats had no nearby water areas, thus allowing them to be susceptible to drowning.
Because of this fear aroused from ancestors, It easily can pass through generations until It is either no long apparent or the last individual dies with said fear. Because of aunt Nessa (60), this could easily pass through any future relative. And, It passed down to Jay.
Because Jay almost did drown as a child, his uneasiness towards water areas naturally grew from uneasiness to genuine, distressing fear. Much to his luck, he luckily didn’t inherit his aunts fear of fire. Hardly could warm up his cabin house without tinkering with the fireplace.
An allergy obtained from dearest, eldest aunt Deidre (67) – He has some allergy towards holy items, though It only causes rashes specifically at his hands. Unknown why that particular area exactly, but It remains unknown and dealt with wearing gloves.
While aunt Demeter (49) is listed as having mild anxiety over crucifixes, Jay’s own fear from such item stems from his own fathers’ fear over the said object. His father being an reputable Dracula under the name of Ludwig Von Erblindet, It is no surprise some fear of holy items would naturally pass down to a spawn; especially when they are partially a vampire.
With this said, I loved discussing this to establish the fact that while Jay is to a degree dangerous and capable of many things – He still qualifies for the title as a vampire that COULD be weakened when the weaknesses are known, whether inherited or that arose from a traumatic event.
