N-LOVERS, PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON BECAUSE HOLYYYYYY SHEEEEEET

IT IS TIME TO SPECULATE!!!

Unit Bravo, and other vampires in general, are provided with a regular amount of blood for dietary requirements by The Agency.

Nate/Nat is given less than they are.

As to why…well, that’s something you’ll have to find out during the course of the series :wink:

SO.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR DEAR OL’ N??

I’m not 100% certain. :thinking: This doesn’t necessarily contradict our current working theory of N requiring more blood, because for all we know…it’s by choice???
That said…it’s difficult to believe because…how would N even function when they’re constantly starving…

Unless they really don’t need that much…
But then why react the way they did with the MC’s blood?

HELP ME SPECULATE, Y’ALL, BECAUSE I AM STUMPED.

My guess is that N’s ideals and morals are against consuming the blood, no matter if it is from animals or humans?

Because they are such an emphatic being, etcetera.
Also was it not said that if given the choice N would want to be turned back into a human? However, please note that I am not sure about this I tend to be more focused on information about M…

  1. Maybe N chooses not to, as it contradicts with their morals.
  2. Or maybe they differ from other vamps and drinking more and more blood makes them change. Lose humanity. Like Gangrel clan in VtM, who are the closest to the Beast within them and can easily succumb to it, going on a rampage.

These 2 can also be connected.

But I don’t think morals have anything to do with this? I think it’s more…that they simply don’t need as much blood, but my brain is having so much trouble coming to any conclusions…

ugh, kids, don’t stay up for over 24 hours…your brain will turn into mush. :sleeping:

I am not so sure about N not needing as much blood as the regular vampire… Simply because they act too nervous about the subject whenever it is brought up in any given conversation between the detective, Rebecca, and Unit Bravo. I get suspicious when someone is so obviously uncomfortable by a subject.

Also, at the end of the first book, when the detective faints from the amount of blood loss, N is the only one of the vampires who has to completely turn away from the scent of blood. That in itself shows, in my opinion, that N needs the regular amount of blood they just choose not to.

I know, N’s reaction to the MC’s blood is really throwing me off…

The way I’m thinking of it, is that N’s body, for whatever reason, is more reactive to the blood, perhaps as a consequence of requiring less?

Ugh, I really don’t know how to explain this… :confounded:

So blood…is more potent to N as a result of requiring less?? Fuck, I’m just restructuring the same sentence over and over…

Like slower metabolism rate? Could be.

Though it wouldn’t explain why N acts all funny around any kind of blood.

I do not think so… you have not convinced me, yet c;
Because being more reactive to tastes would require a stronger (oversensitive) senses, right?

Do you mean a stronger metabolism? That would make more sense to me.

No, I mean slower. Body converting nutrients into energy at a slower rate. Hence less need for more blood.

Oh sweet angst, was over me and bless me with your pain. I am ready for N.

How would that work? I am sincerely confused; because is it not that one needs to eat more when their metabolism is (too) strong? Therefore also able to eat as much as they desire without having to worry about gaining weight?
Thus, also meaning that when someone has a slow metabolism they do not need to eat as much?

Q: So would Douglas crush on female Unit Bravo?

Oh, good question!

Douglas doesn’t pay much attention to Unit Bravo, no matter of gender, to start with.

But depending on what you choose in Chapter 9 (go out or stay in the office), Douglas would definitely pay more attention to Unit Bravo…and notice how attractive they are. But yeah, Douglas is straight, so would be drawn to the female vampires and just more kind of hero-worship male Unit Bravo, like with the Detective.

To be honest, Douglas is probably one the very few humans not to be instantly drawn in by the vampire’s looks. Guess he does have some hidden talents, after all :wink:

Great, my canon run is about to have a little competition on the side. Can’t believe it’ll be Douglas lol

Watch out for this bad boy! In no time, after he’s done on one side, he’ll be snatching hearts of male UB :smiley:

Is the opposite. If you have a slow metabolism, your body takes longer to take the nutrients from food, thus you need less food.

In the other side, if you have a fast metabolism, your body will process food faster, making you need more nutrients in less time.

I really don’t have any other way of explaining it, but it’s literally that I believe that blood is more potent in N’s system, that N requires less blood to fulfill whatever the hell blood is used for, quite like how a stronger drug requires a lower dosage than a weak drug, because of its potency.

What I’m having trouble understanding myself is how blood changes potency from vampire to vampire, but I suppose that could be one of those ~magic~ things.

And the reason I’m so fixated on this is because I’m certain that morality doesn’t have as much to do with it as you might think, @L_M.
The Agency is many things, but underfunded is not one of them, and they seem to have high, high standards. I find it impossible to conceive of why they would agree to have N as an Agent (which is a very difficult position to attain, only the most skilled become agents, after all) but still allow them to starve themselves.

And furthermore, if other vampire stories have taught me anything, it’s that a hungry vampire is not a well-functioning vampire (at least, not in the human sense), to an extent that I wouldn’t be surprised if hunger actually affects their work.

I may not be able to explain my reason, but I’m certain that N’s lower intake of blood is not simply on moral grounds, the Agency simply wouldn’t have it, I imagine.

what?! i always thought the Agency gives N more blood supply, not the opposite!

edit: do you think it has something to do with his blood lust?
_20180406_211003

Nope.

Then why is N so fidgety around strong human blood? It at least partly has something to do with Ns psyche.

You wouldn’t act almost scared of blood, all the more so when you need less of it to consume.
