Ryobi:
Hmm, wondering about a person being a Beacon. How have people experienced this? Do you become attracted to certain people, is this solely in person or can it be over distance as well? Has anyone sought you out or singled you out and not left you alone? Or have random people throughout your life invoked change in your views, simply by being there?
Hard to put the questions into words... just what are you experiences with this supposed force of attraction?
Kadesh:
A Beacon?? I"m sorry... I must have missed something..... would you mind filling me in. What's a Beacon? (Or who)
Ryobi:
--- Quote ---Especially in the unawakened, this recognition manifests itself as a Beacon which calls us to them so that they may realize their Potential. The Beacon calls to us on a very basic level, and often speaks purely to our unconscious minds. Thus we find ourselves inexplicably attracted to a Potential, stricken with a sudden fascination for him and a need to draw him closer to us. If we listen to our perceptions and trust our instinctual reactions, we can refine this awareness of others until we can consciously pick out the Beacon in those around us. Sometimes, even after such a refinement has been achieved, the Beacon still slips past our conscious actions and we find ourselves simply responding to its unspoken pull. The pull of the Beacon drives us to feed from the Potential, thus awakening him to the most basic aspect of his hidden nature.
We must learn to recognize the Beacon in others, to judge its varying degrees of strength so that we may go about the awakening in a deliberate manner. We must learn to recognize when it is appropriate to awaken a Potential and when that awakening will bring only grief to all involved.
We must let our judgment rule us in this matter and we must sometimes resist the merely instinctual pull of the Beacon for awakenings that are not appropriate. Not all of those with Potential are fit for the awakening, and if we act rashly we may unwittingly loose the beast of our destruction through a careless move.

Moloch:
A beacon is the instinctual attraction of a potential vampire to a fully awakened vampire who subconsciously hopes to be awakened to their full potential.
To answer the other question, yes, I have experienced this, and no, it isn't fun in the least.
