Stacia Stark

And so it allowed me to kind of play with a lot of those things throughout the series as well.

Yeah, I love the idea of like losing the sun too, like for born vampires, like what it would be like to know that you're going to say goodbye to that one day and then the idea that you could go like want it so bad that you'd go mad.

Like I just, I thought it would be fun to play with.

Yeah.

Like late in our years, it would be more like late teens.

So they've had like a solid chunk of their lives where they are just going about their business, enjoying the sun, and then they slowly start losing it until they can't tolerate it.

Yeah.

And what I liked about like doing that is it allowed me to do things with the sigil marked, right?

So if the vampires can't go out in the day, but they want business to be done, they have to work with the sigil marked.

And so that brings kind of, you know, its own political implications as well.

So the sigil marked are a... So we've got mundanes, which are kind of your powerless humans.

Your rego humans.

Yep, that's right.

And then we've got the sigil marked, who you can be sort of bronze, silver or gold, and that kind of denotes your power level.

You can have different powers within that.

So like the power of wind or fire or different things that you'll kind of see in the series.

And then everyone sort of has a sigil if you're sigil marked.

And as you sort of grow in power...

It will grow with you.

And so the sigil was sort of on their foreheads.
