Thread: Continuing the Blood Line (PatientOne & Lagertha)

Vampire Layout All vampires can walk in sunlight. However the older they get the more tolerant they are to the effects. If the vampire is young it will make them physically exhausted or simply make their reaction time, healing, speed and strength severely limited. Garlic, crosses, holy water and all the other classic lore is nixed. Killing a vampire involves removing their head. Period. My vampires DO NOT SPARKLE. Vampires rarely if ever feed from humans. Human blood is too weak in comparison to vampire blood, so vampires will simply feed from one another. Most commonly from the opposite gender as feeding often times leads to sex because of the venom in their fangs. The venom is to dull pain and make the victim more comfortable and relaxed while feeding. Vampire venom creates a rush of endorphin's in the blood stream often leading to heightened arousal. From vampire to vampire the affects are controllable to an extent. However from vampire to human the affects can be addicting and if left unattended, painful. There are certain ways around this which mainly involves the vampire using a small amount of mental power to force the human into a slumber. Vampire saliva holds a healing agent within to heal minor wounds like cuts, scraps, minor burns and, most commonly, fang punctures. The older a vampire, the stronger heshe is. Pure Blood vampires have the ability to wield an element. Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Spirit Humans can be turned into a vampire but it is a dangerous process for both the male and female. The human body needs to be dead in order for the vampire blood to be able to reanimate the human and compensate for the energy and power that will come with the change. Females are the rulers of the race. Without females the race would die off. Males are the protectors, warriors and hunters. There are four classes of vampires Civilian Vampires who are like the average joe and try to avoid combat and confrontation at all costs and just want to live out their lives in peace. Noble The watchers of the Civilians. A lot like Noble's back in medieval times. They protect the Civilian's and make sure they stay in line. They're stronger than the Civilians, faster and a bit smarter. They don't wield an element. They answer to Pure Bloods and only Pure Bloods. Pure Blood Rulers of the race as a whole. Often times they are Coven leaders, Master Vampires who delegate their Nobles to guard and oversee a certain section or city of Civilians. They control one of the five natural elements. They can also take on the role of Shade. Shade Shade are an Elite vampire soldier. To become a Shade one must be a Master of his or her element and be at least 200 years of age. They only answer to the Queen. They are usually seen in her presence as body guards. Shade are also stationed within Coven's to work with the Coven leaders. During times of war, Shade are the assassin's or the extreme brute force of a vampire army. Shade only use swords as weapons as well as their element. Due to the higher healing rate and high energy output that a vampire naturally has, having children is very hard. 1 in 3 infants survive the womb. The female has to not only decrease her feeding habits but she also becomes very vulnerable to attacks as she is severely weakened. During times of pregnancy with a mate, males are extremely protective of their females and have been known to even attack their own if they fear injury to their female. Infants are top priority in the vampire society in terms of guarding. When an infant is born they need a year of being kept from the others to be fed and their skin and bones to strengthen. No one other than the Queen and a few other select vampire are permitted to see the infant during this year. Parents of the infant are also highly aggressive and protective during this time due to the frailty of their young. If a mated female dies, the male will die as well, the pain from the loss is too great and the heart and mind simply give up. If a mated male dies and the female has no off spring, she will perish as well. If she has a child, the child is her reason for living on without her mate. Though she will never take another mate.
