Mulo

Name: Mulo
Notes: Another strain of human based vampires, Mulo evolved alongside Dakhanavar. Though suffering from the same issues with ultraviolet radiation as Dakhanavar, Mulo aren't born into their full heritage. Though they also have an extensive lifespan and slower rate of aging, these don't kick in until, usually, they reach young adult ages, though their are some younger exceptions. Like Rihannsu, from this point on, they pretty much retain the same appearance until extreme old age when Mulo start to show signs of growing old like wrinkles and greying hair. Until their Mulo heritage fully awakens, they are able to use light protection to move around in sunlight, like a parasail, though need more extensive methods once it does kick in.
Unique among vampire species, once in a random number of generations, a special Mulo is born that is known as a "Spring of Psyche". This special Mulo is a genetic anomoly as they are unaffected by sunlight. However, their main difference is they produce blood at an unprecidented rate and, instead of biting to feed, have to bite to inject the excess blood into others. Nosebleeds and other leaks of the overpressurized blood are not unknown amoung these special 'Psyches' that try to hold it in. They also run the risk of instinct kicking in if they try to hold it in to long and agressively attack and bite, to inject the excess blood, the first person they can find.
Mulo are also rare in they do not produce more of them among those they bite. They are only born the old fashioned way. As such, they have developed other means of protecting themselves as, unlike Dakhanavar they can't turn humans into loyal servants to protect the pure Mulo bloodlines. Among these alternatives is a powerful telepathic abilities they can use to manipulate the minds and memories of those who are threats to them, though this has also been used for benevolant purposes historically.
