You are a powerful psychic vampyre who practices extreme forms of energy vampyrism. It has become a part of your everyday life in astounding ways- you can bore the energy right out of somebody just by talking to them, giving you immense power in your Dayside life. You think it would be thrilling to be on the Council, being able to use that position to better boost your psychic power, giving you access to more targets you can drain through psychic feeding.

You’ve been a DEVO-tee since you were a kid in the late 70s. And from the moment you first put on the Energy Dome, you felt different. You felt powerful. But it was only in the late 90s when you first heard of “energy vampirism” as a concept, and realized- this is just DEVO. And thus, you syncretized the two sets of beliefs. You never really bothered with the “vampyre community” much, until your buddy Robyn (aka Yokai) told you about this House they were starting that focused more on the spiritual and psychic side of things, with themself as the House’s Elder. You’ve generally avoided the bulk of the drama over the years. You don’t need that sort of negative energy in your psyche.

Beliefs:
• 80s synth-rock band DEVO is the absolute archetype of energy magick, epitomized by their promotion of the “Energy Dome” headwear.
• You must wear your Energy Dome at all times. You wear it to sleep, to the pool, out shopping, etc. It protects you from others draining you psychically, and reflects your own psychic energy back onto yourself, amplifying it, and making you even more powerful.
• If you keep your Energy Dome on at all times, you will become functionally immortal. If nothing takes you out, you expect to live to at least 150.
• DEVO’s concept of de-evolution applies to most of everyday human society, and only the Awakened Few, such as most energy vampyres and Devo fans, are able to be the next step forward in humanity. By harnessing this psychic power, you represent what humanity as a whole could someday transcend to. You are the Post-Postmodern (wo)Man.

Pranic Drain. You can deplete a target of energy just by having a short conversation with them, leaving them temporarily exhausted, definitely too drained to continue any current arguments. These conversations are usually about DEVO.

• Convince people that DEVO’s teachings are the pinnacle of psychic vampirism.
• Convince people that as vampires, you represent the next step in human evolution, proven by your collective energetic prowess. Because that’s just science.
• If a position were to open up, such as Yokai finally taking the Magister position, you would know that you would be next in line for the Eldership.
• While technically you’d be available for the role of Fledgling Primogen, you’re really only a “Fledgling” by formality- you joined a House with an established Elder. It would feel odd to you to officially have a Fledgling title.
• You know that Genesis is keen on you becoming the House’s Elder. They feel that you’d be a good fit, and that you’re more committed to the spirituality that your House embodies.
• You also think Yokai would be an excellent pick for High Magister. You know they have your vote, for sure. Campaigning for Yokai is one of your background goals.
