Agnimos

**Agnimos** is a species in Medeis, the equivalent of Vampire. The word’s plural is Agnimus.

## Physical Description

Since Agnimos originated from Hominity, their appearance is general humanoid. However, they instead have pointy ears that are shorter than elf’s and perch upwards, very pale skin that borderline bluish, and wine-red eyes that don’t reflect light. They’re mostly born with dark-colored hair (black and brown), but cases of lighter hair do exist, especially white/silver hair - which is treated as special. When vampires age, their hair becomes a washed-out version of their original color, but never fully white. They also possess bat wings and can fly with them if the wings grow large enough.

## Traits

* Their average natural lifespan is around 400-500 years.
* Get excited at the smell of blood and have an urge to drink blood, regardless of the fact that they have ever tasted blood or not.
* Drinking blood increases their strength, life force and Nama, and keeps them youthful. They are capable of gaining nutrients through normal consumption of food like most other beings, but drinking blood is the most efficient way for a vampire.
* Some vampires often engage in biting their blood donors as a act of sexual pleasure.
* Sunlight burns their skin and prolonged exposure will cause them to disintegrate.
* Can only see the moon as red color.
* Capable of procreating with other races. The vampire genes are always dominant.

## Society

### Hierarchy

Agnimus are divided into 3 social ranks depending on one’s birthright and 2

Only Agnimus from Noble Rank onwards have surnames.

## Origin

Agnimos is not a species created by the Gods and considered an anomaly, which is the reason why they can be damaged by anything with Holy Alignment. The first Agnimus were actually Hominids who did not want to be restricted within the Six Elements magic system granted to Hominity via the Mana Circuit, and thus tried to remove the "limitations" through a Demonic Contract that required a blood ritual. The Contract was thwarted by Gods and only succeeded halfway; allowing the contractors to reach the Reverse Root that grant them limitless super powers, but it costed them their soul - in return their right to reincarnate and the karmic power that comes with it. As a punishment for defying the rule of nature, these Hominids were cursed into ghostly individuals who always thirsted for blood, were hurt by sunlight and possessed a natural lifespan long enough to reflect on their blasphemy and loss of mortality, and then banished into a cold, faraway corner of the World that no species ever approached.

Over time however, thanks to the out-of-mind abilities achieved by Reverse Mana, these Agnimus learned to adapt and quell down the beastly instincts the curse gave them, and built a civilization around sustaining their superior powers compared to the World.

## Powers & Abilities

Unlike the rest of Medeis, Agnimos doesn’t draw power from the Mana Circuit, but rather Reverse Mana/Nama.

Vampires possessed the Skill "*Blood Conversion*" that was unique to their race. By drinking the blood of others, vampires could convert it into energy for Mana, stamina and body strengthening.

All Agnimus can steal another Agnimos' Wonder - even Royalty-ranked - by draining their blood.  Each Agnimos can only host 3 Wonders in their body due to the limitation of the original Mana Circuit.
