Vampire

A Vampire is a creature that sustains immortal life by feeding off the
blood of other creatures. Vampires have always existed in history,
however the population has always been scarce. In most cultures, they're
 accepted; typically as gentry class. Though Vampires are thought to be
Undead, scholars believe the creatures are actually alive. Vampires are
able to revert back to humanity, but only if they can resist feeding off
 other creatures during the first three days of their rebirth.

## Description

Vampires generally look like normal humans except for when they're
hungry, in which case they take on a pale and thin appearance, as though
 they were weakened by undernourishment or disease. When hungry, their
skin can become thin as paper which makes it easier to see their bright
red blood shimmer though their veins. Though they are reanimated, they
aren't dead, but lose a few functions normal humans have, such as
breathing and a need to diet off human food. Unlike other creatures,
vampires are immortal which keep their appearance the same throughout
the course of their  life. They're also sterile.

## Abilities

Like shapeshifters, vampires possess enhanced strength, stamina,
durability and have an accelerated healing factor which cannot be
activated unless they drink blood. Their new bodily systems making them
immune to human disease, except for Vampyrism, and make them immune to
most humane ways to die: in other words, it takes more than a fatal blow
 to kill them.

Vampires don't carry any special abilities that can make one more
 powerful than the other, though the older a vampire gets, the more
powerful their capability for magic becomes. They're comfortable in
darkness and their eyes can easily adjust to the dark, giving them an
edge in battle during the night. Their senses are sharp.

## Creation

A human who has ever consumed a drop of vampire blood won't abruptly
turn into a vampire, but they do catch Vampyrism, the disease that turns
 a human into a vampire. In order to be reborn, a human must first die,
then vampyrism takes over and in the time of a week, jump starts the
body and brings the former human back to life. Vampyrism brings humans
back to life, but changes their nature. They can survive on both a human
 diet, but blood is what gives them their vampire abilities.

## Weaknesses

Vampires are extremely vulnerable to fire and sunlight. Though
they're more durable than humans, their bodies are weaker in bright
places and during he day. When their skin comes into contact with the
tiniest spec of flames, their entire body can catch on fire as if they
were doused in oil. Vampires also will die if they don't drink enough
blood. They become bald creatures and mindless, like the forsaken. When this happens, all functions except for the muscular and nervous system
work, meaning that the tiniest amount of blood can make them more
powerful than common creatures, including other vampires. Beheading will
 also kill a vampire.

## Culture

Vampires are highly accepted in most societies. Their immortality can
 lead to several life times of savings, making most vampires rich.
Having your blood sucked by a vampire is also very addictive, making the
 act something of a service to be charged for coin.
