Dhampir (Race of Man)

A Race of Man descended from the Undead, Dhampir have a reputation for having a dark and dangerous allure to them. Unusual among the descendants of Monsters in the current era but akin to Hagspawn and Galateans, Dhampir are commonly the children of Monsters. As Undead are beings that were once human, their offspring hearken back to that original state while sharing in some of their Monstrous parents' inhuman characteristics. This results in a rather large variety of subraces for the species, with each one having the characteristics of a different type of Undead. Also, like Hagspawn, Dhampir have the potential to transform into a Monster, into true Undead, though this event occurs upon their deaths rather than through a conscious choice. Beings caught between life and undeath, Dhampir are an unusual people whose views on mortality are often warped by their own inevitable rebirth.
Dhampir are a true-breeding race, though instances in which they do so regularly tend to be limited to specific nations, such as Scholomance. They lack a true culture of their own but are strongly associated with that nation's due to their high percentage of the population and social status there. Even for those not native to the country, adoption of its styles of dress and mannerisms are common, with many outsiders seeking to gain education there as a means of furthering their careers and lives.
