Vampire is a Race in The unnamed RPG.

## Origin

It is unclear where/how Vampires in Farnearia originated from, however the most believed story is that there was a Fire Dragon called Volcanis that resided near a now-overrun Town called Tolovci. After witnessing Volcanis incinerate their livestock, the townspeople decided to storm the Town Hall and threaten to overthrow and kill their leader if they did not do anything to stop Volcanis. The leader gave in to the pressure, due to being severely undermanned and unprepared to deal with a potential rebellion.

The leader agreed to send some of their best-trained men to deal with Volcanis, under the condition that some of the townspeople also joined in. After a full day of tracking Volcanis, they managed to discover its lair and prepared an ambush for it. After Volcanis returned from a successful hunt, it fell for the ambush and the many traps laid around its lair. One of the knights managed to land a lethal blow on Volcanis, slicing its chest. Volcanis's blood spilled everywhere and eventually contaminated the nearby river.

Anyone who drank from the contaminated river got inflicted by the Curse of Vampirism. The curse can have differing effects on different people, some had their eye and skin colour altered, whereas others mutated into various forms that barely resembled a Humanoid shape.

## Types of Vampiric Diseases

* Sanguinare Vampiris - the most common Vampiric Disease. Can be caught by drinking the blood of a Vampire or being bitten by a Vampire. Has the highest infection rate. Has the highest survival rate. Affected targets have their stats decreased by 10% during the day (before they complete their mutation). The mutation takes a month to complete. Transforms the affected target into a Lesser Vampire. The transformed Vampire's Lineage depends on the Lineage of the infecting Vampire.
* Nocturnus Vampiris - the second most common Vampiric Disease. Can be caught by being bitten by a Vampire. Survival rate is lower than Sanguinare Vampiris. Affected targets have their stats decreased by 10% and have 25% less natural regeneration of HP and MP during the day (before they complete their mutation). The mutation takes two weeks to complete. Has a higher chance of transforming the affected target into a Higher Vampire than Sanguinare Vampiris. The transformed Vampire's Lineage depends on the Lineage of the infecting Vampire.
* Draco Hirudines - the third most common Vampiric Disease. Can be caught by coming in contact with infected surfaces. Survival rate is the same as Nocturnus Vampiris. Affected targets must drink blood, ideally Human blood as it is the most beneficial type to consume. If the affected targets fail to consume enough, they might die of starvation or have their stats decreased by 25% and have 30% less natural regeneration of HP and MP during the day (before they complete their mutation). The mutation takes one week to complete. The transformed Vampire's Lineage depends on the Lineage of the infecting Vampire.
* Curse of Vampirism - the second rarest Vampiric Disease. Can be caught by being cursed or making direct contact with the source. Transformation is instantaneous, assuming survival. Transformation is very high purity, therefore the affected target, if they survive, become one of the strongest Vampires. The transformed Vampire's Lineage depends on how they catch it. If they catch it directly from the source, they get the Draconis Lineage. If they get cursed, the Lineage depends on the skill level of the caster of the curse.
* Donum Eternatus - the rarest Vampiric Disease. Can only be caught by being infected or related to Qadira. Qadira is currently being imprisoned and studied somewhere in or near Metio, presumably underground. Qadira is the first, and currently only, known person to have manifested this disease. How she manifested this disease in currently unknown. There are many rumours and stories of how she manifested the disease, yet none of them have been confirmed.

## Differences between the types of Vampire

* Higher Vampires are stronger and more human-like in appearance than Lesser Vampires. Higher Vampires retain more of their personality and intelligence, with Lesser Vampires often acting berserk and feral.

## Misconceptions about Vampires

* Vampires are not actually afraid of or allergic to garlic, it does not negatively affect them. Although it is possible they do hate the taste of it.
* Vampires can actually see reflections in mirrors and liquid, unless the mirror is silver-lined.
* Lesser Vampires, despite being not as strong as Higher Vampires, are still very powerful and you should not take one on alone.
* Direct Sunlight does not kill all Vampires, most of the stronger ones just get weakened by exposure to it.
* Not all Vampires choose the path of evil. Human prejudice and superstition is largely the reason for this misconception.
