== Charactah Account ==
A human-vampire hybrid with all the strengths but none of the weaknesses of a traditional vampire, Blade has dedicated his life to destroying the occult world of vampires and all who associate with them.
Due to his mother being bitten by a vampire while pregnant with him, Blade displays unique abilities as a Dhampir. It has been shown, several times, that he is immune to vampire venom and cannot become an actual vampire by normal means. He has all of their abilities and none of their weaknesses. Blade does posses a trait common to all vampires: the thirst for blood.
However, rather than consuming blood, Blade injects a specially designed serum that provides the same nourishment. As a Dhampir, Blade possesses superhuman strength, agility, speed, endurance, and senses. He is capable of seeing objects with perfect clarity and at a much greater distance than a human or vampire, and he possesses particularly sharp night-vision. Blade's hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing him to detect sounds that humans and vampires can not. . Blade also possesses a number of other powers and abilities due to training and his hybrid human/vampire physiology.
