Vampires

Vampires are magically reanimated humans, Witches, or Werewolves. Vampires look like their human counterpart, unless they're about to feed, then their eyes turn a dark red, and they have two large fangs. Instead of flesh, which Ghouls feed on, Vampires drink the blood from humans, Witches, Werewolves, or other Vampires. Human blood is usually what Vampires feed on, (and it provides the most nutrients for them), but they can also drink Witch or Werewolf blood as an alternative, and a few decide to feed on other Vampires. A Vampire's blood has special healing properties, allowing their blood to not only heal them, but others as well. But their blood also can turn others, whether they are human, Witch, or Werewolf.

## Creation

Vampires, like the rest of the supernatural creatures (excluding Witches), were cursed/blessed by the first Witches, with Vampires being a blessing to some and curse to others. Four people were turned into the first Vampires as a means of protection against vengeful Witches and Werewolves, However, once they realized their blood could make more Vampires, the four originals Vampires split off, creating their own Bloodlines.

### Special Blood

Vampire's blood has special healing properties, being able to heal humans, Witches, and Werewolves from all minor wounds and most majors wounds, though, they cannot heal diseases. And should a human, Witch, or Werewolf die with Vampire blood in their system, they will wake up in the process of becoming a Vampire, needing to drink human blood to complete their transition. Their blood is also the only cure to a Ghoul bite.

## Nature

Vampires can act like normal humans, but those who are extremely hungry, lack impulse control, or are downright feral, will act very aggressively towards humans. Vampires who lack impulse control can't control their bloodlust, meaning blood acts like an addiction to them. They may still feel guilt for what they do, but usually, they turn off their emotions, and allow their need for blood drive them. Vampires who turn off their emotions, but can control their bloodlust, may act like the predator they are, stalking their prey, and at times, toying with them. Other Vampires may just be plain psychopaths, never caring about their actions, while still having their emotions. Unlike Ghouls, Vampires have heightened emotions, meaning every emotion they could feel are amplified. However, normally, the way a Vampire acts is up to their independent personality. When a Vampire's eye's turn dark red and they bare their fangs, they are either about to feed, smell blood nearby, or have been starved, needing blood. However, they can also do this to simply intimidate an individual. While Vampires prefer to drink human blood, any blood will do for them, thought some may not give them the same nutrient as others.

## Attitude Towards Humans

Vampires can view humans as potential food sources or friends. Vampires who lack impulse control/blood addictions will attack humans despite any past friendships, though they will try to distant themselves as much as possible. Most Vampires however, usually feed on a human, then mesmerize them to forget. Sometimes, Vampires will have to decide whether or not if it's worth it to feed on a human, since they do provide the most nutrients, but they could live with possible guilt should they accidentally kill them.

## Attitude Towards Supernaturals

Vampires can tell the difference from humans and supernatural beings (With the exception of Ghoul and other Vampire, who, due to being dead, have the same scent). While Vampires can feed off of Witches and Werewolves, they prove to be more dangerous as Witches have magic, and a Werewolf bite is lethal to them. Vampires can feed off one another, though only a select few do that, and most of the time, blood sharing among Vampires is considered intimate, and romantic. Ghouls however, Vampires do not like, since they are much more dangerous than they could ever be. Vampires view Ghouls as a disgrace.

## Awareness of Vampires

In the early years, Vampires used to be common knowledge to everyone, including humans, but as time went on, they started to hide in plain sight, and the humans who knew would die, leaving no humans left who know. However, some small towns in which Vampires reside in have some humans who know of their existence, and some even allowed Vampires to have a say. They are, however, known among throughout all other supernatural beings.

## Powers and Abilities

### Typical Vampires

* **Super Strength:** Vampires have strength unlike most things, being able to effortlessly lift heavy object and throw around full grown men. They are stronger than Werewolves, but are weaker than Ghouls, even the younger ones (Under the right circumstances). Vampires can exert a force of at least 10 tons, and possess enough strength to project themselves into the air using their legs, (Super Jump). Their strength allows them to easily rip their prey apart and hold their prey down. Vampires who feed on human blood are stronger than those who feed on animal blood. They also get stronger with age, meaning the older they are, the stronger they are. Older Vampires can easily take on transformed Werewolves and young Ghouls, however, they do no become any more resilient to the bites, meaning they still have to exercise caution. However, due to the way Vampirism works, and how it also amplifies what is already there, it is possible for Vampires in the same age range to be stronger due to their already superior strength as a human (I.E, a bodybuilder Vampire will be stronger than a person who didn't work out as a Vampire).
* **Super Speed:** Vampires are faster than most other species, except for Werewolves. Vampires move so fast, they can appear as a blur to most people, but if they were to move a very small distant, they move faster than a blink, seemingly teleporting across the room. They can easily dodge bullet, though they can still be surprised.
* **Super Agility:** Vampires have higher agility than most, allowing them to react very quickly to something.
* **Super Senses:** Vampires have their senses heightened, being able to hear, smell, and see very well. They are able to hear whispers from across the room, and they can control whether their hearing is enhanced or not. They can also smell very well, (Mostly blood), allowing them to detect small changes in either foods or drinks. Their enhanced vision also gives them 20/20 vision, and allows them to see much easier in the dark, though they can't see underwater and through dust/smoke like Ghouls.
* **Super Durability:** Vampires, while not invulnerable, can still a lot of physical damage. They can shrug off bullets, (That aren't wooden), and stabs wounds (That isn't from wood). Due to their healing, they also heal very quickly from minor and major wounds, which helps them shrug off these injuries.
* **Healing Factor:** Vampires can heal from almost any wound, but should a Vampire solely feed on animal blood, they will heal significantly slower than those who feed on human blood, though still faster than humans. And the longer a Vampire goes without feeding, the slower their healing also becomes. Consuming human blood can also speed up the healing process for Vampires.
* **Immortality:** Vampires are immortal, and as such, don't age. They are immune to natural diseases, and can't die from natural causes. They also get stronger with age, making older Vampires far stronger than younger ones (With the exception of Pure Bloods). And with every year that passes, the amount of force they can exert is increased by one.
* **Blood:** Blood is the food source for Vampires, giving them their strength and life. When a Vampire drinks blood, all their abilities are heightened, and those who feed regularly on humans, or consume a lot of it, will be stronger than those who don't.
* **Fangs:** Vampires possess two sharp fangs that grow from the top of their mouth, replacing their usual canine teeth. Their fangs allow them to easily tear into flesh and drink the blood of someone or something.
* **Heightened Emotions:** A Vampire's emotions are heightened, meaning they feel emotion at a higher degree. People who were typically a mean, and aggressive person, will most likely become a ruthless Vampire. They also feel things like rage or love much greater than anything else (In terms of species). They can learn how to manage these as they get older.
* **Emotional Control:** Vampires have control over their emotions in their younger stages, and should they get overwhelmed by their heightened emotions, they can turn them off. This is dangerous however since they lose all their emotions, even guilt. As a Vampire gets older, they lose this ability.
* **Mesmerization:** Vampire are able to mesmerize human's into doing whatever they desire, whether it's complete an action, or forget something. Vampires typically use this to make someone forget they saw them or fed on them.
* **Telepathy:** Vampires have a slight form of telepathy, being able to look into someone's mind and either view their memories, or share their own. However, a Vampire has to have a stronger mind than the other to force their way into it, or the other person opens their mind to them. If someone is sleeping, Vampire are able to look into their mind without problem.
	+ **Illusions:** Vampire can create slight illusions, making people, Witches, Werewolves, and other Vampires see or feel things that aren't there. However, it is not as great as a true Immortal or Ghoul.

* **True Face:** A Vampires true face is when their eyes turn dark red, and their fangs start to show. During this phase, a Vampire's identity is completely exposed, and they are either ready to feed, or trying to intimidate someone.

### Pure Blood Vampires

They have the typical powers of a Vampire, just at a higher degree than them. Meaning a Pure Blood is stronger and faster than normal Vampires in their age range (Equivalent to a 500 years old Vampire). They also don't need to drink blood. However, they have some difference that make them stand out.

* **No Bloodlust:** Pure Bloods do not need to drink blood to survive, and can eat whatever they want. Though, they will still get a boast should they drink blood.
* **Immunity to Sunlight:** Pure Bloods are born without a weakness to sunlight.

### First Gen Vampires

They are the first four Vampires to exist, meaning they are the strongest Vampire "alive", even to those that they turned in the same year. This is due to the fact that since they were turned through a spell, they were made stronger than Werewolves, transformed or not.

* **Blood Memories:** Should a First Gen Vampire bite someone, they can get most, if not all the memories (Depending how much they feed), from whoever they bite. They get to choose who they take the memories of.
* **Telepathy:** Along with the standard form of telepathy, First Gen Vampires have a stronger form of it, being able to force their way into anyone's mind, while having a near impossible mind to break themselves.
* **Immunity to Wood:** First Gen Vampires, since they were made from magic, can't be killed with normal wooden stakes.

## Weaknesses

### Typical Vampires

* **Wood:** If a Vampire is shot or stabbed with wood in the heart, they will desiccate and die. If they are shot or stabbed with it, but not in the heart, it'll still hurt them more than other things.
* **Sunlight:** Exposure to sunlight will cause a Vampire's skin to sizzle and burn up. Prolonged exposure will result in the Vampire's skin fully setting on fire. Should the Vampire remain in the sun while on fire, they will look like a charred corpse, and remain that way until the sun goes down, to which their skin will heal, but they will still feel the pain for a while until they feed again.
* **Fire:** Unlike burning in sunlight, should a Vampire be set on fire, they will burn up and fully die from it.
* **Decapitation:** If a Vampire is decapitated, they will cease to live, desiccate, and die.
* **Heart Extraction:** If a Vampire has their heart removed, they will not be able to survive, desiccate and die.
* **Magic:** Like with all supernatural beings, if enough magic is used on them, they can be killed.
* **Invitation:** A Vampire cannot enter a living person's home without being invited in. Once a Vampire is invited in, they can come and go unless ownership of the house is swapped, or the owner resends their invitation, but they have to be specific about it. Alternatively, a Vampire can just mesmerize their way in or kill the owner.
* **Werewolf Bite:** If a transformed Werewolf bites a Vampire, Lycanthropy will try to take over the Vampire's body, but their body won't accept it, and result in the Vampire dying within either a few days, or until the next full moon, which ever occurs first.
* **Ghoul Bite:** If a Ghoul bites a Vampire, they won't feel the affects of it, and withing 12 hours, the bite will have run through their system. But should they be killed in that time frame, they will wake up as a Ghoul, becoming a Hybrid.
* **Animal Blood:** If a Vampire decides to only feed on animals, they will be weaker than a Vampire who feeds on human blood. Younger Vampires even become stronger than them.
* **Broken Neck:** If a Vampire has their neck broken, they will be rendered unconscious for some time.

### Pure Blood

They possess all the standard weaknesses of a Vampire, except for sunlight and animal blood. They can also survive getting bit by a Werewolf, though Lycanthropy will be able to mix with their body, and they can become a Hybrid through it.

* **Refusing to Feed:** While Pure Bloods don't need blood to survive, they will suffer minor things from not feeding, like sudden headaches, and their senses would become uncontrollable for a short time, making everything loud.

### First Gen Vampires

They possess all the standard weaknesses of a Vampire, except for wood. It won't kill them, but will incapacitate them though. They also become immune to a Werewolf bite, though it still weakens them for some time. They are also much more resilient to their weaknesses.

## Trivia

* The irony of Vampires thinking Ghouls are a disgrace is, they themselves hunt humans to live, and even force humans to act as their personal blood supplies, showing they are no better than Ghouls.
