It's not exactly spelled out but Ghouls are described as "post-metahuman" but the actual rules say they are metahuman.
This poses a new question then - Can they eat each other? I was thinking of creating a Ghoul who was a Ghoul hunter and used that role to have a source of food. Would Ghouls look down even further on this "cannibal"? I cannot find anything that say that they cannot eat other Ghouls as they only need metahuman flesh with traces of a metahuman aura in it. |

Vampires can drain each other's Essence, so I don't see why not.

Yeah, ghouls can eat other ghouls for sustenance. I think there is some various fluff about it in RC.

Combine this with the Ghoul Stripper idea from that other thread and "Ghoul eating Ghoul" takes on a whole new meaning (and not a pleasant one)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Meet the preacher.
The preacher was once a fiery baptist preacher who lashed out against those who were different (elves, mutants, ghouls, politicians, dragons etc). After a two week business trip he went home to discover that his wife and three children had had a visitor. His wife had been nailed to the kitchen table and flayed alive. His children had become feral ghouls and had feasted on their mother, and then they turned on him. He had to slay his own three children and became infected. For ten years he has hunted the one responsible and in turn has become one despised and fearsome bounty hunter who exclusively hunts down any kind of paranormal threat. The transformation into a ghoul was anything but easy as he became a changeling at the same time. The experience gave him some rather unusual abilities that he simply call a gift from god in his battle against evil. Outward appearance is that of a ragged cowboy in a duster and scruffy hat. Last known location was in Reno where he was forced to kill a twelve year old nosferatu – who’s father falsified reports and threatened witnesses to convince the police to retract his bounty hunter license. Not that he cared – he saved the poor childs soul after it had killed it’s own mother… Now he is forced to work alongside the malcontents he has resented for most of his life and realized that monsters come in many guises – and that he is one of them. He supplements his dietary requirements by hunting feral ghouls. He has heavily modified weapons, most noticeable is his sawn off tri-barreled elephant rifle and a heavy revolver sporting a single shot shotgun underbarrel weapon. Qualities Adrenaline Surge Changeling III Bad Rep [Child Killer] Religious [Church on Sunday] Enemy [Blood Mage Ghoul] Spirit Bane [Blood Spirits] Bioware and Cyberware [All Alpha] [Essence Cost: 3] Cybereyes Smartlink & Lowlight & Flarecomp Muscle Augmentation II Muscle Toner II Wired Reflexes II Clean metabolism Hair Growth Changeling Abilities Nasty Vibe Arcane Arrester Astral Hazing Critter Spook Main Weapons Elephant Rifle [7590Y] The rifle is short, ugly and a brutal affair. Custom built by himself and carries a plethora of ammunition from Ebenholtz wood slugs against Nosferatu and capsule round with Pepper punch & DMSO to disable targets. Silver bullets and other gear is within his possession. [1] Semi Automatic Modification [1] Increased Ammo [Three Barreled Rifle] [1] Barrel Reduction [1] Removed Stock [Barrel Reduction] [Double Recoil] [1] Melee Hardening [1] Skin Link Top-Mounted Smartlink Ruger Super Warhawk [3120Y] A modern version of an old cavalry revolver with an underbarrel single shot 12 gauge shotgun shell.
