Vamku (Vampire)

The Vamku, also known as "Vampires" are the children of Cain and are nocturnal monsters that are the personification of murder. although they are viewed as a myth in modern human society, in the past Vampires were actually extremely feared by the humans when they believed in them.

## Background:

Although it is true that Vampires are monsters related to darkness, they seem to be much different from the ones in the media. as they seem to be completely unaffected by wooden stakes, crosses, holy artifacts, running water, garlic, etc. not to mention ironically they are able to trespass anyone's home without having the owner of the home to give them permission to enter. however they do seem to have some things in common as they do have a thirst for blood, have razor sharp fangs (canine teeth) and claws, can be harmed by sunlight, and can be harmed by fire, although some of the stronger Vampires have proven to be immune to being harmed by fire.

Like their thirst for blood, Vampires require blood but not in order to survive, but in order to retain their humanity, as if they go for too long without blood they will go into a state known as Wassail until they drink blood again, although older vampires can actually go for months (sometimes years) without blood and still retain their humanity, Vampires also enjoy drinking blood as to them blood is described as "the highest form of ecstasy" however Vampires can still drink blood from other animals and other organic beings, however to them it doesn't taste as good compared to blood from humans or the Elven.

Vampires have even proven to be able to turn other species into vampires (or vampiric versions of that so called species) through the venom that is stored in their fangs that they are able to inject at will, the transformation process happens to be long and painful and in total the process lasts for 30 days, and on the 30th day, the victim will go through an extremely painful transformation along with them becoming more hostile and violent then how they were originally.

The appearance of Vampires varies, as some can appear as irresistably beautiful, while some can appear as horrifying vile monsters, however the most common trait they all have is sharp fangs, sharp claws, blood shot eyes, and pale skin.

## Vamku Culture:

The Vamku have their culture, which is unsurpisingly "gothic" and filled with blood, they have shown to have their own rules, traditions, etc. it is completely optional to be a part of this culture as many Vamku choose to go their own path

Higher Ranked Vamku and Alpha Vamku are allowed to purchase Puesdo Tauhn as their eternal mindless servants in order to increase their power.

## Breeds:

There are many breeds of Vamku, with each having different strengths

**Normal Vamku -** the most common out of the Vamku, any mortal can be turned into them if they drink their blood or have their blood injected into their system.

**Hybrid Vamku -** Hybrid Vamku are vamku that are either born with one parent being a vamku and the other parent being a different species, or a species that has had their dna be fused with a vamku's dna in one way or another. they keep all of the powers and abilities of their species, not to mention all of the powers and abilities they have are augmented as a result of them being hybrids.

**Damku -** also known as dhampirs, are a hybrid of vamku and any type of mortal. they are known to be infamous due to how they retain all the pros of the vamku yet none of their weaknesses. the only known way to become one is to be born one.

### Royalty:

**Alpha Vamku -** The Alpha is the strongest of all vamku breeds, with the strongest known alpha vamku is Cain, the father of murder, and his power is great that he could be considered as a "Destroyer Of Worlds"

## Powers And Abilities:

Vamku are extremely powerful and have proven to live up to their reputation countless times, Fittingly how the powers of Vamku work is that their own blood is the fuel to their powers. Now normally it depends on what type of vampire they actually are, but all Vamku can gain and learn new powers or abilities no matter what type of vampire they are, some powers and abilities being specifically suited for their species too. They have **Vamku Physiology**

### Normal Powers And Abilities:

**Enhanced Strength And Durability -** Vamku have incredible strength as even the newborn Vamku are capable of lifting and throwing vehicles with their bare hands (though this usually takes some effort and can be tiring due to them being newborn vamku), along with that Vamku can soak up damage more better then any human and earthly animal.

**Enhanced Mobility -** Vamku have amazing mobility, as even the newborn Vamku tend to be able to run up to 100 mph, they can parkour in very unnatural ways, their reflexes are also inhumanly fast, and they are even have incredible dexterity.

**Vampiric Health -** Vamku happen to have perfect physical health as they have no deformities or physical health problems, though they are still capable of having mental illnesses and conditions, such as autism, adhd, bipolar, ptsd, and so on

**Age Empowerment -** Vamku happen to get stronger and more dangerous the more older they become and are not required to work in order to increase their nocturnal power.

**Vamku Blood -** A Vampire's blood can turn humans, elves, orcs, or just any mortal in general into vampires by injecting the blood into into their system. When one is injected with the blood, they will go through a transformation process that lasts up to 30 days, which affects the mind, body, and soul. When a victim is going through the transformation process, they will gain more vampiric traits such as sharp fangs, sharp claws, and pale skin, along with them craving for blood and becoming more sensitive to sunlight. on the 30th day of the process they will begin to go through a painful transformation and will have their appearance be turned into how they would be if they were in their physical prime, along will all of their health problems, deformities, and disorders being removed, and they will become more hostile then how they were originally.

**San'gon'ous Fren'zonous -** Vampires require blood in order to retain their humanity, and as such they'll get stronger and more destructive but at the same time more aggressive and primal the more they go without blood, when they go without blood for too long they'll go into a murderous frenzy and the state will only wear off once they drink blood again.

**Dark Passenger -** Vamku have the "Dark Passenger" power, the power to shapeshift into whatever form they want, this can range from people, animals, a cloud of mist, and even horrific monsters.

**Blood Magic -** Vamku have an exclusive form of magic that is used for various purposes. This form of magic to this day is still feared as it is a force to be reckoned with.

* **Crimson Leash -** Certain Vamku have the power to be able to command and control half blood tauhn.
* **Abel's Gateway -** The power to create, shape, close, and manipulate shadow portals.

## Weaknesses:

**Sunlight -** Surpisingly the saying where vampires are affected by sunlight is true, however it mostly just gives them really bad sunburns, but also due to this weakness vamku are also sensitive to strong light and mostly prefer to be around in more darker areas.

**Fire -** The vamku are extremely vulnerable to fire.

**Silver Weapons -** due to how vampires are nocturnal monsters, they are vulnerable to silver weapons.

**Werebeast Blood -** The blood of the tauhn can kill a vamku if the vamku consumes it or gets it injected into their system, vamku lords and vamku deities on the other hand aren't affected by tauhn blood in any way as to them tauhn blood is completely harmless.

**Werebeast Venom -** just like werebeast blood, werebeast venom kills vamku but is completely harmless towards vamku.

## Trivia:

* The Vamku descending from Cain the father of murder is inspired by Caine from the world of darkness universe
