Question: Do vampires die in space?

 

I guess it depends on if they're in direct sunlight.

 

you would be shocked what people make vampires live though.

So back in the day I was playing a TT style online chat RPG (dont ask) and was up against a mod who had a vampire. Once I had the upper hand and had the fucker captured I proceded to go rasputin in this order:

dismembered
decapitated
head dipped into molten Tin (to fill in all the gaps)
head dipped in molten steel to really encase it
head placed in steel box then filled with molten lead
steel box placed inside bigger safe
safe welded shut
safe placed inside blast chamber and covered with a large sphere of plastic explosives
Safe and contents crushed to size of basketball
ball of metal placed inside a box and box again filled with molten steel
Box dropped into challenger deep

shit you not, dude told me "vampires are immortal, his head is regenerating his body."

 

And yet you know some asshole on a dive will find that, bring it up, then say "wonder what this is" and break it open.

 

Only if they become a vampire in space. Vampires are dead already.

 

Yes. Space is filled with all types of radiation, the 'temperature' equals roughly ~3K and as soon as you're near any kind of star or radiant body you'll get more.

I always assumed that it was the type of radiation and not the temperature that was lethal to vampires. Vacuum itself does nothing but if they have any type of radiation they're vulnerable to, beyond the protection of a magnetic field and atmosphere they'll get all the hard types directly.

Their best bet would be to try and exist somewhere far beyond all the galaxies and universe or alternatively be onboard a vessel with good radiation protection.

 

That's the thing, everyone expects just one to be different. I've known people who answered everything correctly, then started going through it to find where they went wrong "because there's got to be one just to trick us". Then he switched one to different and that was wrong!

 

Back in the day. Under the shadowrun system any magical creature would die if it left earths mana shpere. Considered to be low earth orbit. Would drive mages and shamans bonkers if they went up to one of the orbital stations too.

 

Vampires die in sun light but don't die from the light of billions of stars during the night. Their silly rules never made any sense.

 

And Lord knows what the hell their problem with running water vs standing water is.

 

You can explode them to smithereens with explosives and they'll regenerate, but a fucking wooden splinter to heart is lethal, so exploding self to bits is safe as long as done with explosives that don't contain any wood in a surrounding that is free of wood.

So a vampire IED would be a blasting cap in a stump?

 

And think of Claymore that has wooden splinters instead of metal balls.

 

That's a typical forestry machine, they often have two blade rollers with adjustable distance to each other for trimming the branches and grabbing trees. Apparently this is what happens when they're close up.

 

Maybe there is a distance factor?

 

would make far more sense for his body to regenerate his head
