History, Background & Basic Facts

Vampires
(Put together by our sweet Lilika)
Background: Most vampires date back to the 1400s though a nameless vampire was found from a coffin (of course completely staked through the heart). The most well known BORN sireling of the oldest vampire is Vladimir Dracula. Otherwise and more commonly known by his last name...Dracula. Dracula is the primary creator of other vampires and purebloods. Dracula is one of the original Ancients. The Ancients consisted of seven vampires. The very first Ancient has no known name. There was five male ancients and only two female ancients. Aside from Dracula the other Ancients names are completely unknown.

Types of Vampires:

ANCIENT = One of the first and original vampires. Pure Bloods are descended from the ancients and are slightly weaker than the originals. Ancients include but are not limited to Vladimir Dracula.

PURE BLOODS = A vampire born of DIRECTLY from vampire mates. (two vampires with no other race in their system)

ARISTOCRATS = A vampire born of two vampire mates where only one of which is a Pure Blood. The other is a vampire of a different grouping.

CHANGLING = A vampire sired from an Aristocrat or Pure Blood that is from a race. Most common breed of changling spawns from the human race.

DAYWALKER = While extremely rare there is a final group. The daywalkers have the ability to blend into society while being out and about and coexisting like a normal human. They have no weakness to most weakness and sunlight is usually a discomfort but nothing more. Only 2% of all vampires are a Daywalker. The Daywalkers usually don't live past birth. In rare circumstances a human pregnant woman bitten by a vampire will have the baby in their womb "Infected" with vampire DNA.

Charecteristics: Fangs, Wings (uncommon but not unheard of), Glowing eyes, Death pale/Ashen/Albino flesh, Tall heighs (not all but a majority)

Abilities: Flitting (supersonic running. not very common), Teleporting (similar to psychic power or just running so fast it looks like they teleported), Psychic powers (varies), Telepathy, Mind Reading, Flight (bat form), Levitating (human form), Low Flight/Hovering (human form), Transformation (usually into a bat), Smoke (turning into smoke or wisps of darkness. seen more commonly concerning dracula or his earliest sirings)

Weaknesses: Holy water, Garlic, Crosses, Stakes*, Holy Magic, Prayer (weaker vampires), Sunlight (ninety-five percent of all vampires), Blood lust

*Staking requires the vampire to be staked through the heart. Otherwise the vampire can either...one live and just be in a lot of pain or two die and just come back to life hours later.

Strengths: Speed, Immortaility, Strength, Hearing, Sight, Night Vision, Siring (most but not all can turn a human into vampire)

Siring = the ability of turning a human or other race into a vampire (works best with human) requires the vampire to drain its sireling of nearly all blood to all of their blood (depends greatly on age of changer) and to give the sireling their own blood. If the changed had to be completely drained a vampire must open the mouth and let the blood drip down the one being turneds mouth. Time for the change to occur varies from one hour to twenty-four hours.

Eye Color: Normal, Red, Crimson, Black

Diet: Blood, In rare cases a vampire will be able to eat human food. Difference is for the vampire the food bears no taste and is like eating and tasting sandpaper

Lifespan: Immortal unless killed

Environment: Coffins, Buried, In rare cases a dark enclosed space or room without a way for light to enter, In rare cases a vampire can sleep in a bed (usually only younger vampires the older generations must sleep in coffins/be buried)

Breeding: Vampire x Vampire mates have a slim to none chance of reproducing. The ability to do so greatly varies upon age, type of vampire, gender and race pairing (for example a vampire + demon would have easier time recreating) Vampire children usually are born faster than humankind babies. They develop and grow faster than a human.
