Hahaha. That's something that really shouldn't happen.

What, a Blank whore? Why not? You're not hiring them for their conversational skills.

She turned out to be pretty kick-ass, too.

No my interpretation of the blank is that you might for unknown reasons just want to kill the person when walking past him or her on the street.

Think of this you are shopping and you passes a person, you black out and next thing you know you have committed a gruesome murder involving frozen pizza and beer-bottles.

That's how I interpret blanks. You might for no good reason actually attempt to kill that person. And add a hooker to that and it just gets insane. Guess I should change POV.

Alizabeth Bequin is a Blank whore. Well, she is a Blank, and she was a whore, but yeah.

That's not really supported in the fluff. Blanks have problems forming the basic inter-personal rapport with normal people. This can escalate to violence if the Blank keeps pressing the issue with a normal, but this is not a guaranteed response or result.

I know, I said it was my POV, not canon. But I admit i can see a whore being a blank, if she is really docile and knows how to not piss people off. I just goes by they have many enemies and few friends.

Bequin may well have been a prostitute because she was a blank, not despite it. IIRC she worked as a one-person operation, so no need for any long-term contacts with anyone.

And on the blank effect, when first encountered she didn't seem to inspire homicidal rage. She'd been hired as an escort to the same customer for several days after all. She did however cause the psyker Eisenhorn to feel almost physically ill, and his normal companion would have much liked to not deal with her - more than I'd think he'd protest at dealing with any other perfectly polite and cooperative prostitute picked up in relation to a sting.

You know that kind of person that you see for the first time and immediately dislike? That's how I personally imagine Blanks. I don't think anyone would get violent with them on sight (although I imagine that people have a shorter temper around Blanks).
