Vampire

**Vampires** are a humanoid species that is famed in mythology for their aversion to sunlight and their possession of fangs for sucking the blood of other beings. While all vampires need some form of life-essence, the quality and quantity vary greatly: from daily to rarely, from needing lethal amounts to barely notable, from sentient blood freshly drained to rare steak.

Appearance wise, Vampires are similar to their non-vampiric species, but exact changes their state causes vary greatly: more common effects include pale/white skin, glowing eyes (possibly changing to golden or red), prominent canines or generally predatory appearance, but some have no visible changes at all, while others barely pass for a humanoid.

Mentally, Vampires vary from perfectly normal persons with unusual dietary requirements to predatory, calculating beings, to hunger-driven blood-junkies. Generally, Vampires are physically imposing beings as they have excellent strength, speed, senses, endurance, agility, a near or complete ageless lifespan and a high-level resistance to damage. Other abilities include ability to turn other beings into vampires (possibly involuntarily), mental abilities, transformation into animals or mist, etc.

## Types

* **Pure-Blooded Vampire:** Vampires that has always been a vampire whether born or created as the first of their kind. They are usually very powerful, elegant and beautiful. This causes most true vampires to look down on those who were turned, viewing them as lesser beings.

## Special Abilities

* **Super Strength** - Vampires possess strength that is greater than humans. Young vampires experience a formidable increase in physical strength; able to lift heavy objects and overpower grown humans.
* **Fangs** - Vampires possess a set of retractable fangs. Their teeth are superhumanly strong and can rip open a human's neck and leave huge bite marks on the corpse of the victim it has fed on.
* **Super Speed** - Vampires can move at greater speeds than humans. It is possible that a vampire's speed, like their strength, increase with age.
* **Super Agility** - Vampires possess amazing agility. They can climb up walls and jump off buildings without hurting themselves. Vampires also have greater reflexes than humans. Robert was able to catch Kristen's cellphone after bumping into her. One could presumably climb a flag pole while carrying a teenager.
* **Super Senses** - Vampires have extremely keen senses that are superior to those of humans. They can see in the dark, hear a human's heart beat, and possess enhanced sense of smell. A vampire can track a human's blood over long distances.
* **Longetivity** - Vampires possesses an extended lifespan, allowing them to live longer than a normal human; this can be the result of one's power set or their species. Some users are capable of living for centuries or hundreds of years.
* **Mind Control** - Vampires can control the mind of others, including their thoughts, perceptions, memories, emotions and personality. Depending on the user's skill and power, this can range from a trance-like state very similar to hypnosis, to the target being completely subject to the user's control. A skilled user may be able to control the minds of multiple people simultaneously. The target(s) can be placed in a semi-conscious state, where they may have no recollection of any actions that they perform while under the user's control.

* **Invulnerability** - Vampires can not be killed by conventional methods, such as stab wounds or gunshots. Vampires have an extreme resilience to pain. However, they still react to punches and kicks in a similar manner to humans.
* **Regeneration** - As long as they have enough human blood, vampires can quickly heal any wound that does not include amputation.
* **Super Stamina** - Despite their hunger, vampires don't tire easily. Dean, who was at that time a new vampire who had yet to complete the transition, took on an entire nest of over twenty other vampires, in a fight to the death, and emerged almost unfazed.
* **Stealth** - Vampires are often shown sneaking up on their victims- even experienced vampire hunters- without making a sound. As a newly turned and initially reluctant vampire, Gordon was able to twice appear behind humans seemingly out of nowhere.
