Hello all!
The hunger. Starvation. That dry and scratching clawing in the back of your throat when thirst is the all-encompassing sensation in your world, save for the Beast's madness at your back, screaming for sustenance.
Come up with a tale of a time that your character's dial was hovering near 'E' and they were in the midst of desperation for a fix of the good old vitae.
What happened that had them so low on blood? What went on internally with them and against their Beast while in this state of hunger? And what eventually happened that allowed them to sate it?
(Or did they? For any of you that have "blood torpor" somewhere in your backstory, this might be a chance to flesh-out how that came to be.)
As you write, try to be creative in how you express to the reader your character's reaction to these circumstances. When all that matters is getting Blood, what is *your* character reduced to to manage the situation? Do they do anything that would surprise their "well-fed" selves?
As always (and maybe especially for Ventrue players) if anything about your character's feeding habits or needs would reveal something best kept secret, just don't mention it in detail, or find a creative way around the issue.
Have fun!
