Ludo

Name: Ludo
Notes: Unique to the Tsukuyomi species, Ludo are their half-blood off-spring. Growing up, Ludo instinctively know they are different from their human families, if left with them. As long as their Tsukuyomi blood remains dormant, Ludo are merely sensitive to ultraviolet exposure and tend to be somewhat anemic. A number of Ludo, in fact, spend human scale natural lives never knowing of their half-blood descent.
However, the Tsukuyomi can influence things in awakening the Ludo's 'vampire' blood. This awakening causes rapid genetic alterations, a painful process for the Ludo, that eventually morphs their body to have a similar physiology to that of pureblood Tsukuyomi. This process also involves the Ludo's first feeding, usually on blood relatives, though not always at the Ludo's free will. Once their Tsukuyomi blood is awakened, a Ludo has the same weaknesses and similar strengths.
Using their parent-child genetic link, a Tsukuyomi parent is able to use a variation on the same telepathic power they use to make humans submit to enslave their awakened off-spring. Some sadistic Tsukuyomi have been known to make Ludo wipe out their entire extend families at their awakening.
With the way Ludo are genetically unable to revolt or disobey their Tsukuyomi parent and master, most civilized Tsukuyomi prefer to let any Ludo off-spring live human lives or only parent purebloods.
With medical advances allowing for the production of clone blood, some Tsukuyomi who want their Ludo children to live but are civil enough to not force them to kill someone they grew up with use clone blood instead for the Ludo's first feeding. Though this bonds the Ludo to the Tsukuyomi parent, they do not exploit this as they were looking for family and not a slave.
However, with the recent events revolving around a young Tsukuyomi Daywalker, it has come to pass that she has under her control something that allows Ludos to break their bond with their master, an Ama Lamia. With public introduction to the Zodiac Empire, other Ama Lamias have begun to be found.
