Blake Bloodline

The first branch of vampirism that many believe to be created by Kraven Blake, though this is not true as any vampire Kraven turns, turn into their own bloodline. Anwen was the first person that Kraven turned, his daughter. The original, original vampire.

## Physical Mutations

The Blake bloodline is the most common form of vampirism and what many think vampirism to be as a whole. The Blake bloodline have pale skin as if no blood is flowing to the skin, leaving it cold.to the touch. Their eyes brighten to an unnatural version of their original eye colors and even their pupils seem to become brighter. Their eyes even give a slight glow. One difference is those with brown eyes gain glowing yellow eyes. This trait does only take place after the first few years as a fledgling vampire, during which time their eyes are red like every other bloodline. This bloodline gain fangs where their canine teeth are but these are rather short, despite being razor sharp.

Blake vampires also gain a slight increase in height, usually 2 to 4 inches. Very rarely it can increase as much as 5 to 7 inches, but this is rare. This change is due to Anwen being a giant of a woman at 6'5.

## Mental Mutations

The Blake bloodline gain little in mental changes naturally. They tend to be somewhat more emotional and have a small detachment from mortals, this allowing them to more easily feed on them. This moral shift could be a natural state of hunting other sentient beings as most vampires have this trait, Blake or not.

## Powers and Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Enhanced Physical speed and strength,** ranging from 5-20 times stronger than they were when human and can run as fast as 200 mph
* **Enhanced healing and endurance** allows most cuts and even broken bones will heal in seconds. It is also very difficult to harm a vampire, most strikes with steel weapons won't go through their flesh, though a strong warrior with a great sword or a large axe may be able to get a few inches into their flesh.
* **Mesmerization,** for the Blake vampire, works as such: They must first look into the person's eyes and maintain physical touch. So long as the order is given when looking into the person's eyes, it will take place. From the point of the order to the order being completed, the vampire must maintain physical contact. Once physical contact is broken, the person will snap out of the mesmerization, though will not remember what happened while they were mesmerized. Once the order is complete, the same will occur. Blake Mesmerization does not give them a permanent mindslave, but merely allows for orders to be carried out without resistance. They can mesmerize someone as much as they like but doing so rapidly can cause a mental breakdown in the person and even kill them. Most can withstand three to five mesmerizations in the span of an hour before starting to break down
* **Mist Walking and the Bat cloud** abilities are very similar but allow for different things. Both allow the vampire to fit in smaller locations than they normally could. This is not the primary use of Bat cloud, however. Bat cloud allows a vampire to fly and move very quickly through the air at twice to three times the speed they run. Mist walking is bound by gravity and actually slower than they can walk normally, but it allows the vampire to fit in very small cracks and seep through. While they can't walk through solid walls like demons, if the wall has cracks in it, they can. Most often this ability is used to go through door cracks or window's. In this form the vampire can not touch or be touched, and it does allow for stealth. The cloud is visible but unless someone knows it's a vampire, they can't do much about it and likely won't know what the cloud is. The only way to get a vampire out of this form is to throw holy water onto them.
* **Heightened senses** such as night vision allow the vampire to see more detail further away and smell blood from over a mile away. The Blake vampires can discern heartbeats in a crowded room from outside of a house.

### Weaknesses

* **Sunlight** causes blisters and boils on the skin after 10 seconds and after a minute the vampire bursts into flames.
* **Silver burns** the vampires flesh like hot metal and prevents healing. Looking at silver makes the vampire light headed and looks like a shining light going directly into their eyes.
* **Holy water** acts like acid on the skin and prevents healing
* **Lycans** are curiously strong against vampires. Their bite prevents healing and causes the vampire extreme pain.
