Vampire

**Vampires** are supernatural beings that subsists by feeding on the vital essence (in the form of blood) of the living.

## Characteristics

### Nature

Vampires can be very fierce, hunting and wild, so by nature they use all of these traits to manifest their aggressiveness. His nature is based on violence. However, due to having previously been human, they still retain human emotions such as compassion, love, sadness, among many other capabilities.

Due to the nature of vampires, they cannot see themselves reflected in mirrors or anything else such as glass, metal, or water itself. According to folklore in general, it is believed that these creatures cannot be appreciated or observed themselves because they "lost their souls" after having undergone the transformation and that the transformation itself requires a previous death.

### Physiology

Psychologically, vampires tend to see the misery of the world as a way to justify their actions and nature, that is, the pleasure of drinking blood and, in most cases, killing people. Vampires who have been starving for a long period and are in danger of dying will eventually become so fatigued by hunger that they lose all sense of their humanity and rationality altogether and eventually give in to their thirst for blood.

## Powers and abilities

* **Immortality**: When a human is turned into a vampire they stop aging and are immune to all kinds of diseases, viruses and infections.
* **Super Strength**: After their transformation, the individual's strength is magnified, that is, it increases compared to the strength level of humans since vampires are more powerful and stronger supernatural creatures.
* **Super Agility**: Vampires can jump too high and have quick reactions to some attacks.
* **Healing Factor**: They are creatures that only subsist on blood, so they do not need to resort to doctors, their only cure will always be blood.
* **Mind Manipulation**: This power is quite implicit in the film, however, it seems that there is a possibility that a vampire can implant certain wishes in the mind of another (and quite possibly in that of humans).

## Weaknesses

* **Wood**: Stabbing a vampire with a stake or something made of wood causes them to die suddenly. To kill a vampire with some element of wood, it has to be nailed to the heart, otherwise it will not cause more than annoyance.
* **Hunger**: In the film it is not specified, however, it is known that vampires require blood to be able to continue subsisting because, on the contrary, they would die. The hunger for blood that these supernatural beings have leads them to hunt humans, in the event that there are no humans, they can die.
* **Sunlight**: Sunlight dissects vampires completely, crushing them until their organs and tissues are charred, bones alone being the only body parts that still persist after death by Sunlight in vampires.
* **Fire**: It could be said that fire is the "magnified" or "enhanced" version of the effect of sunlight on vampires, since it is a much more intense element, however, much slower to bring them to death.
* **Heart Extraction**: Removing the heart of a vampire will result in permanent death.

## Trivia

* Katrina and Vlad are the oldest vampires featured in the film.
* Plastic doesn't kill vampires. When AJ put a piece of formica through his heart, he thought he would die, but he didn't because the element used was plastic. This would confirm that anything can pass through the heart but it will not kill the vampire unless it is wood or the heart is removed.
* Katrina was a vampire from Ancient Egypt, so it could be deduced that vampires are supernatural beings dating back to the earliest civilizations.
