Vampires are the second species to be introduced to the eternal shadows series, they are primarily humans were have died and been reanimated as undead immortal monsters who crave the blood of humans, the first vampires were said to have been made due to powerful black magics.

## History

the history of the vampire species is a mystery surrounded in rumor and speculations, the best theory of most vampires is the first vampires were made due to powerful necromancy, no one knows for sure how old the first vampires are but many have guessed they have been around for over 2 mallenia.

## Food

Vampires main source of food is of course blood but their are four varients of blood they can take each having a different effect on the vampire.

Human Blood:

it is rumored that human blood is the most potent and powerful source of food a vampire who drinks the blood of humans are at peak physical and powerful proformance,

Animal Blood:

Vampires if they so choose can drain the blood of animals this is normally only done if a vampire is desperate for blood and there are no humans in sight, it is said to taste utterly disgusting for the vampire to choke down and those vampires who feed on animal blood are nowhere near as strong as those that choose to feed on humans and even kill them.

Blood Bags:

Vampires can drink human blood from a blood bag but as this is not blood straight from the source it does not do them as much good as to drinking blood from the vein, however it still grants them strength and powers greater then that of vampires who feed on animals.

Supernatural Beings:

Vampires can feed off other supernatural creatures like werewolves and it will do them the same amount of good as drinking from a blood bag, however vampires cannot drink the blood of a kitsune as it will cause death.

if a vampire goes too long without blood there body will begin to shut down and they will become comotosed until blood is given to them, their powers will also begin to shut down until the point where they are non exsistent.

## Physical and Psycological Traits

Vampires are said to be souless monsters but this is infact not true. Vampires retain their emotions and their conciousness and are entirely the same interms of memory and personality, however the second a vampire awakens they are forced to endure a terrible bloodlust which causes them a great deal of distress if not satisified. Physically Vampires will look the same as when they were human apart from their new vampire fangs.

## Creation

All Vampires were once human or though never stated how the first vampires came to be, most vampires are turned the same way, to become a vampire a human must be drained of some of their blood, then they must ingest enough of the vampires blood then the vampire must kill the human. the human for a few hours will be all intense and purposes dead but eventually they will awaken as a vampire and their immortal lives begin.
