## Overview

Vampire are the incarnation of mortals desires. As so, the vampires curse is a curse of eternal hunger and sorrowness. They will do everything needed to fulfil this desire, for its the only thing that can give them satisfaction even if its of short duration. This drive is the one pushing them to indulge in their urges, consuming to fill the insufferable void left by the curse at the center of their being.

## Origin

The first vampires where born from the blood spilled by the rape of The Carmine Nymph. She created their curse as a testament to the dark urge at the center of every mortal's souls. The same urges that stained her delicate petals this faithful night. Nature itself seems to be mourning this lost every month in the form of the blood moon, it white surface turning a reddish hue reminding everyone of this horror.

## The Scarlet Hunger

The scarlet hunger can be contracted by eating the petals of growing roses in the garden of The Carmine Court. Those where planted from cuttings of the Rose of Seven Curses, the rose cursed with The Pale Lady ichor. The symptoms start around 5 hours after the consumption.

Symptoms of the scarlet hunger in the first week may include: fever, myosis, hematemesis, spasm of the jaw and sudden muscle weakness. The legs and lower back are the most affected and are always accompanied by severe paranoia ending with a coma. Only 1/20 of subject survive the first phase of the curse. The elderly and youngster are specially unlikely to survive. There's a harsh acclimatization for new vampires shown in forms of extreme paranoia and confusion. waking up, they feel for the first time the permanent hunger and feeling of emptiness that will follow them for eternity. This state often result in new vampire being extremely prone to violent outburst.

Vampire are easily blinded by light but not hurt by it. however, their pale skin and sensible eyes makes it highly uncomfortable to stay in the daylight for long period of time. Vampirism, offers an array of “gift”. they are immortal and have a strongly improved natural regeneration. Their sense of smell, reflexes, strength and speed and also superior to their living counterpart.

## Vampire Bloodlust

Maybe the clearest representation of their life of hunger is the vampire bloodlust. The relief of “The Feeding” is of very short duration, and gets shorter every time. They end up like an addict endlessly “chasing the dragon”. Its important to understand that vampire don't necessarily need to drink blood. However, vampires abstaining from blood are quickly turned mad, the hunger growing every second passing. There is no known occurrence of any vampire willingly and successfully restraining themselves from feeding. Vampire who are forced or incapable to find a source of blood turn in what is commonly called ghouls. Ghouls are commonly treated like hunting dogs or like minion by other vampires who consider them nothing but unworthy of the vampire race. The victim of the feast, is generally not killed but is left in a sedative state. This sedative effect let vampire take advantage of unsuspected victims.
