Topic: We don't say 'nosferatu' a lot anymore on Legion World

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

My favorite character was a Nosferatu!
I had this longarse origin story about him being a pretty boy womanizer who was 'punished' by a Nosferatu who took his beauty, and his life, turning him into a hideous monster (who still fed off of other people, so that didn't change...).
The vampires in the game could learn three 'Disciplines' that made up their vampire powers (there were a dozen, but each 'Clan' was best at three). The Nosferatu were masters of Animalism (animal communication and control. 'Children of the Night! Shut up!'), Obfuscate (super-stealth, invisibility and the ability to appear as different people through quasi hypnosis) and Potence (superhuman strength). My character used his Obfuscate to appear as he did in life, but it was illusion, and cameras, mirrors, animals, etc. saw him as he truly was, all nasty and vaguely reptilian in appearance.
He ended up in charge of the art snob Toreador / Harpies (pretty much Lestat-like vampires / arbiters of social standing in vampire 'society,' such as it is) in a live-action game. Not the usual place you'd see a Nosferatu, at a black tie social, schmoozing with the beautiful people!

I have a friend who always pronounces Nosferatu as "nos-FERR-a-too". It's a bit annoying.

At the of end of Oktoberfest in Munich last week, I think I may have smelled a bit like a nosferatu.

That's exactly what the smell like. Plus if the song "Take Me Country Home" by John Denver had a smell, it would also be part of that fragrance.
