Traditional vampire lore describes humans who have agreed to feed a vampire or lycan regularly as a pomme de sang or "apple of blood". In Bloodlines, we call them Blood Dolls. The usual process is for the blood doll to liege to the vampire or lycan and to feed them exclusively. There is no limit as to how many blood dolls any given player can have. Blood dolls normally get permission from their liege before allowing anyone else to bite, claw or feed off of them.

Choosing Your HUD
Although most Bloodlines players choose to embrace the dark side and turn into a vampire or lycan, some want to remain human. The Human HUD would be ideal for those players. However, if at any point in your game play you would like to turn, save yourself the money and buy the Thirst HUD for vamps or the Rage HUD for lycans.

Things a Blood Doll CAN do:
- Use Invisibility on the Thirst HUD.
- Hunt for their liege. (Make sure to notify your liege of your intention first!)
- Hold souls though they don't count toward overall clan count. Thirst or Rage HUD required for this.
- Feed vampire, lycan or hybrid Bloodlines players.
Things a Blood Doll CANNOT do:
- Bite or claw, use howl, superhuman jump, or smoke screen (these require wearing fangs or claws).
Humanity
Blood dolls need to keep track of their humanity. For each bite or claw they receive, 5% of their humanity is taken. To replace the humanity, they can either eat a Bloodlines apple or drink Bloodlines cider. Normally the liege or whomever has bitten them is the one that supplies this. The Blood Doll is doing them a favor, they shouldn't have to pay for restoring their own humanity as well.
