Vampires

Vampires, or the Sanguisuge, are a species of supernatural creatures who feed upon the blood of humans, and who propagate themselves through turning humans. The Vampires are as old as humanity itself, according to some; having plagued the world since ancient times, having come into being during an epoch far beyond the memory of man. 
== Physiology ==
Vampires looked almost like human aside from their fangs. They never age as Felicity is decades old while still maintaining an appearance of a child. They can also transform into monstrous bat form to combat foe. 
== Abilities ==
* Illusion: Vampires can generate an illusionary veil known as a Glamour to hide themselves and their operations from the naked eyes of human. The veil is immune to most forms of attack, but can be broken by a strong electrical pulse.
* Pyrokinesis: Powerful vampires like Felicity have shown to be able to generate fire with a flick of their fingers.
* Shapeshifting: Highborn vampires are capable of altering their appearance according to their own will, such as by morphing their entire bodies into the semblance of a large bat for combat purposes, or projecting a human guise to fool potential victims.
* Immortality: Vampires are naturally long-lived, meaning that they cannot die of old age or sickness. This does not mean they are invulnerable, however; Fire, decapitation, and a number of other methods can grant a vampire “The Final Death,” from which their can be no regeneration.
* Sorcerous blood: Vampiric blood is capable of channeling dark magic, or acting as a conduit thereof. It can also mentally enslave a human through ingestion, transforming them into a Familiar 
== Weaknesses ==
Much like in folklore, Vampires are weak to sunlight, for it burns their flesh like fire upon the slightest contact. 
== History ==
Throughout ancient history, vampires had always been predators while humanity as a whole are just their preys and food. Humanity tried their best to fend off the vampires but with little success and with tremendous cost. However, as human civilization advanced, humanity started to create more and more advanced technology and weaponry, leading them to eventually beat back the vampires effectively and drove them into hiding. 
Being forced into hiding, vampires engages in shadow war with humanity for centuries. To hide from the human, the vampires utilized their arcane art to create a powerful illusion veil called "the Glamour" to make their hideouts invisible to human.
