Vampire

Vampires are an immortal sub-species of humans that subsists on the blood of humans and animals to survive. They are a type of undead human that can practice dark and harmful magic at will. Vampires come in two key varieties, Born Vampires and Turned Vampires. 
Vampires are one of the primary species in The Chronicles of Lefebvre.

=== Physical Appearance ===
All vampires have sharp, pointed, canine teeth. Naturally, these teeth are used for piercing the skin of prey in order to drink blood. In present day however, many vampires do not use their teeth, instead opting to drink pre-packaged blood, despite the appeal for drinking directly from the source. Born Vampires produce Vampire Venom which can be released through their fangs into their preys bloodstream, which sometimes induces the process of turning. 
A vampires skin is naturally desaturated due to the fact they underproduce red-blood cells and do not have direct contact with the sun. This causes vampires with naturally lighter skin to appear pale, and vampires with darker skin to appear more ashy. Although there are magical remedies to mask the affects of being dead.
==== Born Vampires ====
When vampires are born, they have the ability to grow like a normal human would, and they do. Throughout their life, they appear as they naturally would if they were simply a human, minus a few key factors. However, born vampires may change what age they appear to others, as long as they have "naturally" grown to that age. This is called age transmutation. Vampires may regress, progress, or completely stop their aging process. A vampire who is thirty years of age may regress their age and instead appear how they appeared when they were fifteen if they wish. When born vampires do this, they stay stuck in the state they choose unless they wish to change their age. While they are transmuting their age, the form they should be in the present does not age. If a born vampire is thirty and they regress to fifteen, and spend three years appearing fifteen, when they return to their present age, it will still be thirty, not thirty three. 
If vampires are regressing their age, they can not change anything about their appearance without serious consequences, as they are literally cycling into the past to appear as they did then. Their hair, fingernails, etc, will not grow. Vampires can only be changed by external forces when age regressing, and doing so has long term affects on future forms. Any long term injuries a vampire gains while age regressing will persist in any future forms they have. If a vampire regresses to fifteen and a limb they have is removed, when they return to their present form, that limb will still be removed. The same logic persists if a vampire has a limb removed in their present form, and they regress to when they did have that limb. Age transmutation is seen as a dangerous form of magical because it can have serious affects on a vampires physical appearance if they regress themselves too far and are injured or otherwise. It is very easy for age transmutation to go wrong and have seriously damaging affects on a vampires physical appearance. When vampires change their physical age they retain the same mental function no matter what. In most cases, age transmutation is used to keep a vampire looking like what they did in what they believe is their prime. Age transmutation is a long process that requires the vampire to be in a completely dark space, laying down. For every year regressed or progressed, approximately day of time will be spent transmutating. 
==== Turned Vampires ====
When someone is turned into a vampire, they will keep the appearance they had when they died. A turned vampire will not age past this point, their hair and nails will no longer grow.
