Jean-Claude - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Jean Claude is an incubus, and so gains power through sex and lust. After forging the triumvirate with Anita and Richard he becomes the sourde de sang of his own Bloodline. Like all vampires his powers grow stronger with age. His general master class abilities include:

• Being able to disguise the perception of his true age (seeming older or younger as he chooses) to the senses of other vampires, as well as enhancing his beauty.
• The ardeur, which allows him to gain power ("feed") from lust and sex. His first business, the strip club Guilty Pleasures, allows him to use the ardeur to his advantage. In Cerulean Sins Jean-Claude becomes sourde de sang of his own line when Belle-Morte is no longer able to use her own ardeur to feed from him.
• Hypnosis, including using his voice, gaze, and aura to excite or calm humans, lycanthropes, and lesser vampires.
• Calling wolves and werewolves.
• Flight.
• Controlling the magics of Anita and Richard and being able to shut them down.
• Forming a triumvirate with his human servant, Anita, and his animal to call, Richard.
• Superhuman strength, speed, healing, and senses (able to smell a human's emotional state and night vision) far superior to those of younger, non-master vampires.
• Claws.
• Fangs.
