Blood Spirit Vampire Bat
« on: 17 February 2011, 15:04:56 »
So the Clans are named for animals, aside from the Blood Spirits who were named for the esprint de corps of the Star League Defence Forece.

Yet I hear rumours that Clan Blood Spirit engineered a vampire bat they named Blood Spirit.


So who can point me to a source book or actual reference?

Wasn't it the Burrocks that engineered it as a joke,or was that a different critter.

It was engineered by Burrock Scientists from a flying reptilian pest native to Albion. The Burrocks named it a Blood Spirit to insult their enemy.

Funnily enough Clan Blood Spirit gained some territory on Albion last we heard, so they should have come face to face with their 'totem' animal. I kinda hope they become fond of it and adopt it to spite the Burrocks.

Hmmm.
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

The Burrock scientist probably wanted a harmless pest as an insult, what they probably got was something more dangerous. That will learn them if they did.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

I do remember a Spirit player telling me that unlike the Sharks who adopted their rival's insult, the Blood Spirits' preferred pseudo-totem is the blood kite. Anyone have a source for that?

I'll take that 85-ton monster over a bat as a totem any day.  ;)
