Jaguar Tooth and Nail Earrings - Nutjob or Vampire?
« on: March 10, 2012, 11:17:56 pm »



Although thinking on it, these are pretty cool to own. Still, I want to confirm - this guy isn't vampire just because of this, is it? Cuz there's this other guy with a crown made of jaguar hair, and is also a marksdwarf. Must be like, a ritual ceremony or something, or just me being an unlucky sob and getting two vampires in one go?

Dwarves with animal kills in worldgen make trophies; they're most likely to be seen on migrants who were hunters prior to migrating to your fort. You would only need to be concerned about vampirism if the trophies were made from sentients.

Ah. *copies*...*pastes*

Once again, animal bone jewelry doesn't mean vampire. Animal bone jewelry and kill lists are products of historical figures being big game hunters. They make trophies of their kills.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Yeah, they're attached to the earlobe. I've never seen one inside someone's ear before.

Well, you don't wear earrings "on" your earlobes, you wear them "through" your earlobes. There is a part of the earring that is actually inside your earlobe in any case.

Earrings are only worn "on" if they're vintage/costume jewelry that doesn't require a piercing; if it goes in a hole, it's a worn-in earring.

This.  There aren't a lot of vintage pierced earrings because a long time ago, it wasn't considered "ladylike" to have pierced ears.  It makes me wonder how they'd react to piercings nowadays lol.

But anyway, on-topic, it isn't weird or unusual for migrants to arrive with tooth, claw, etc. jewelry.

Nope, not a vampire.
Only human/dwarven/elven/goblin trophies make vampires.
On a related note, my sig.

Now, now. If you're any more condescending I might have to write nasty things about your mother, and you wouldn't like that, would you?
