Vampiric

Vampiric are a species typically found on Earth and they have many differing mythologies on weaknesses, strengths, etc. It is known that their kind once ruled the Earth from sometime before 35,000 BC into at least 20,000 BC. Their exact rulings are unknown due to poor records and a vast passing of time but it is known that the majority of them were in power when the Sillithians arrived.

What is known is that the Vampiric 96 to 4 would join the Dharkanian side, The Hive, during the Silithian War. It is speculated that due to this decision, plus the fact that the Vampiric had enslaved the humans of that era, that when the Dharkanians lost the war the Vampiric were taken out of power by the victorious Lightonians. This places their fall from power sometime between 18000 BC and 17000 BC. Since then they have faded into legend with few humans acknowledging the past rule.

Vampiric are now a hunted race based on guidance of the UN and of the Lightonian Leadership urging their hunting. Their numbers are far fewer today than with any other supernatural race.

## The Truth

Vampires are often depicted in many views due to pop culture. Some depict them as beings who can crush entire armies 1 versus thousands. Other depict them as being weak to everything, even butter and salt. Then there are some who view them as sexy beasts who are only super human.

The fact of the matter is that Vampiric are not all that and a bucket of fries. They are indeed weak to Holy Water and Sunlight, as well as being staked.

### Strengths & Weaknesses

* Vampires are supernatural beings of believed Curse origin. They can be greater than 10x as strong as a typical human, easily able to punch through a human's chest to claim their heart.
* Vampires are capable of flight though not all can do this, only the truly powerful are capable of such a feat
* A Vampire can heal quicker than a human but most can not regrow limbs or anything beyond the realm of a normal wound. As such them being staked is irrelevant for even a simple bullet or their heart being cut out will do the trick typically.
	+ It should be worth noting that truly powerful Vampires such as the mythological Vampire King Hisan were capable of only being killed by Blessed Weaponry and being left to burn in sunlight. Vampiric of Hisan's power could regrow limbs anywhere from seconds to hours to weeks. Even their entire body was able to be regenerated so long as their heart remained intact.
* Holy water acts as acid though does not last long once it touches the 'impure' flesh of a Vampire. This is due to the Curse placed upon Vampiric Blood.
* If invited into a 'house', their curse is broken on some levels. Holy Water no longer harms them, sunlight no longer damages them, they retain their powers and none of the weaknesses.
* Vampires have a love for Garlic sometimes, not a hatred. This was a mistranslation from Latin mythology.
* A Vampire MUST rest in order to retain their powers. If they are awake for too long, which varies on the strength of the Vampire, they can be depleted to nothing.
* Vampires can use magic items to negate some of the effects that damage them such as sunlight.
	+ It is known that Dharkanian Blood or Dharkanian Blessing can shield them from this.
		- It is also known that Lightonian Blood will burn them up immediately.
