Vampires

Vampires are humans cursed by the Mark of Thirst. Vampires drink blood to sustain themselves, which grants them power and youth. They are gifted with incredible strength and agility, as well as longevity as long as they have a source for blood. Vampires can drink any blood, but human blood empowers them the most. Vampires that exclusively drink animal blood are sickly and malnourished. Vampires are notable for their pale skin and sanguine eyes. They are consumed with an eternal thirst that only subsides when they imbibe blood. Vampires that overindulge become more powerful and ferocious, and are consumed by a bestial craving that can never be truly satisfied.
The first vampires were cursed by an ancient archdemon with eternal thirst. Contrary to many rumors, vampires cannot spread the curse to those they bite, and new vampires can only be created through reproduction. If one of a child's parents is a vampire, then the curse will be passed on to that child.
Sunlight causes discomfort for vampires. They are resistant to most weapons, but are weak to silver and fire.
