A **Vampire-Fae** is the child of a vampire and a fae. Vampire-Fae powers are similar to those of vampires but without the usual weaknesses.

## Society

Vampire-Faes live generally undetected among human society. They can belong to any class and may be found working in any profession, although they invariably gravitate to occupations that minimize contact with others.

They have a difficult time trusting because of the ridicule they get from both the vampires and the faes and they are only fully accepted among other hybrids, though they are somewhat welcomed in all communities only because no one realizes what they are.

## Physiology

### Nutrition

Vampire-Faes must feast on the blood of humans at least once a week or they become unable to use their powers. Vampire-fae can produce children, who may themselves become vampire-fae or who may be faeries. (A 50% chance of either being the case.)

### Physical Traits

While they seem more or less human, many vampire-faes have pale skin and dark hair. Some even possess sharpened teeth, bat-like ears or bat-like wings, reminders of their parent's undead heritage. They feed the same way as faes do and have no problems being out in the sun.

## Powers & Abilities

Vampire-fae inherent powers from Vampires such as superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, endurance, healing factor, even immortality and hypnosis and they feed on human blood and possibly other vampires as well. It is also possible that, like with vampires, a Vampire-faes' powers and abilities increases with time, age, experience, and consumption of blood. However, they are not quite as powerful as the vampires, so they have to train very hard to increase their powers.

* **Superhumanly Acute Senses:** Vampire-fae's sense of sight and hearing are heightened to levels comparable to those possessed by true vampires. They are capable of seeing objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than an ordinary human. They retain this same level of clarity even in near-total darkness. Vampire-fae's hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing them to detect sounds that an ordinary human can't and to be able to hear sounds an ordinary human can, but at greater distances. Vampire-fae’s sense of smell is as acute as that of a wolf or a dog’s, enabling them to track its prey for miles by the scent of the victim’s blood alone. Vampire-fae are also able to sense the presence of supernatural beings or forces, whereas an ordinary human would be oblivious to them. Vampire-fae's sense of sight and hearing are heightened to levels comparable to those possessed by true vampires. They are capable of seeing objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than an ordinary human. They retain this same level of clarity even in near-total darkness. Vampire-fae's hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing them to detect sounds that an ordinary human can't and to be able to hear sounds an ordinary human can, but at greater distances. They can also instinctively sense impending danger, usually posed by humans. They can sense emanations of good or evil, instinctively avoiding the former while congregating in the latter. Overall, their keen senses give them several advantages when hunting or eluding its enemies.
	+ **Aura Perception:** Their heightened vision allows them to see their prey by their blood auras.
* **Enhanced Eidetic Memory:** Vampire-fae has perfect memory recall, are unable to forget, and develop mentally at a rate far faster than their chronological and biological age, speaking in complete sentences and walking just days after birth. Their minds are often called "vaults" in which they store all their information permanently, regardless of how far such memories recede into the past.
* **Superhuman Strength:** Vampire-fae are supernaturally much stronger than humans, but although they inherit their vampiric patent's strength, they are not as strong as a pure vampire. They always have the advantage of superior strength in direct combat with a human and can toss an average size, fully grown human across a room with great speed and force. Their other feats include single-handedly lifting a grown man high off the ground by the throat and snapping their necks, ripping a person apart, and ripping out internal organs such as hearts. This, in addition to granting them great endurance, allows them to be stronger than any human and possibly large animals and they can bench-press 18-wheelers with ease and are capable of lifting about 1 ton.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Vampire-fae is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. They can also accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human eye can see, but are not as fast as a pure vampire. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion. Their reflexes are similarly heightened. They move so fast that everything else when compared to them, appears to be moving in slow motion.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Vampire-fae possesses superhuman agility. Their agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. They can leap several feet into the air, move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion, perform above-human parkour feats, and virtually always land on their feet. Vampire-fae can jump with their super speed too.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Vampire-fae musculature generates fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. They can exert themselves at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair them.
* **Hypnosis:** Due to their Vampire heritage, Vampire-fae can control another person's mind by making eye contact. Because of their hybrid nature, Vampire-fae is completely impervious to vampiric hypnosis.
* **Eternal Life:** Due to their Vampire heritage, Vampire-fae does not age. However, they age normally until they reach adulthood, at which point they cease to age and can potentially live forever.
* **Daytime Walking:** Vampire-fae is capable of walking around in the day without the use of a day walking ring, unlike vampires.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Vampire-faes, like full vampires, possesses an accelerated healing ability that allows him to heal mild to moderate injuries with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Vampire-fae is capable of healing from severe slashes and puncture wounds within a matter of hours. However, he is not able to regenerate missing limbs or organs. They can snap their finger bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement after a few weeks whereas, humans take months to years to recover these injuries.
* **Immunity To Vampire Vulnerabilities:** True vampires have numerous and very particular supernatural vulnerabilities, most, if not, nearly of which Vampire-faes are totally immune to. For instance, they are unaffected by direct exposure to sunlight, whereas most vampires are either rendered comatose during the daylight hours or are quickly incinerated when exposed directly to sunlight. Vampires are also highly allergic to silver, supposedly because of the metal's mystical purity. As a result, silver blades or bullets are capable of killing vampires. If not killed, and merely injured, it will take a vampire much longer to heal than if the injury had been inflicted by another material. Vampire-fae’s themselves could be injured by a silver weapon, much as an ordinary human would, but their healing powers would be able to heal it as if it were an ordinary wound. Vampire-faes are also immune to the effects of religious icons, such as crucifixes, whereas vampires are rendered almost powerless when confronted by them.
	+ **Sunlight Resistance:** While not entirely immune, Vampire-fae can withstand the sun, albeit with great pain and, if they are exposed to it for too long, it could prove fatal.They can withstand the sun for at least 2 hours.

## Weakness

True vampires have numerous and very particular supernatural vulnerabilities, most, if not, nearly all of which Vampire-fae are totally immune to. For instance, Vampire-fae are unaffected by direct exposure to sunlight, whereas most vampires are either rendered comatose during the daylight hours but bright sunlight gives them mild burns and makes it incredibly difficult to see. If not killed, and merely injured, it will take a vampire much longer to heal than if the injury had been inflicted by another material. Vampire-fae is also immune to the effects of vervain, whereas vampires are rendered almost powerless when confronted by it. Vampire-fae themselves could be injured by a wooden weapon, much as an ordinary human would, but their healing powers would be able to heal it as if it were an ordinary wound. Vampire-fae may not have to feast on blood (though they only need to feed every once a week). And they can enter homes without permission.

* **Magic:** Witches are able to give supernatural aneurysms that cause the blood vessels of Vampire-fae to explode.
* **Decapitation:** The act of dismembering or removing the head of a Vampire-fae will result in death.
* **Heart Extraction:** The act of removing a Vampire-fae's heart will result in death.
