[attr="class,"siteinfo"]
Vampires are sentient reanimated corpses that drink blood to survive and maintain their powers. They were originally humans or other living sentient beings converted into a vampire by a "maker." Being technically deceased, their primary characteristics include a lack of a heartbeat, body heat, brainwaves, electrical impulses, need to breathe, and other bodily functions. They are often referred to as immortal, but it is frequently pointed out that all vampires seem to eventually meet the true death, through one means or another.
In order to create a vampire, a human must be drained of their blood by a vampire and the blood lost needs to be replaced by some of the vampire's blood. The vampire and human must then sleep in the ground (this is presumably the point where they technically die) until the newborn rises as a vampire the following night. The newborn and the maker will subsequently have a maker-progeny bond, unless the maker deserts or releases their progeny.
Newborn vampires will be thirsty and will need to feed to survive. Although newborns have some control of their abilities, they are mostly controlled by their impulses and can cause serious harm and accidental deaths to humans around them. In addition, newborns cannot resist blood at all, as resistance develops with age.
A newborn's existence depends upon their abilities, which are taught to them by their maker. These abilities take time to learn and develop. As vampires age, they become more adept at controlling their abilities.

[attr="class","tempadd"]powers
- Fangs: All vampires have fangs that they can make appear at will, and use either in self defense or to feed on others. The bite of a vampire can sever the limbs of humans and other creatures.
- Glamour: Vampires are able to "glamour" humans and a few of the more common supernatural creatures such as werewolves. Glamour is a form of hypnosis or mind compulsion, which requires vampires to make eye contact and use their voices to make humans do their bidding. Glamouring does not affect other vampires, powerful witches, or ghosts.
- Healing Factor: Vampires have an accelerated healing factor. They are able to heal all types of wounds, including open wounds, massive burns and tissue damage. If an injury is severe, vampires need human blood to initiate the healing process. They are also immune to all disease, save for Hepatitis D and V.
- Astral Projection: The ability to leave their physical forms and travel as a spirit. They can only use this ability for a short time and it leaves them drained, and they need to feed shortly after.
[attr="class","tempadd"]weaknesses
- Consuming Animal Blood: While it doesn't exactly make them weak, feeding on animal blood is a subpar alternative to human blood. It doesn't taste good, it doesn't allow for their powers to be full blast, and it isn't exactly healthy. Long term effects can make vampires ill.
- Decapitation: One of the sure ways to kill a vampire, decapitating them renders them truly dead. Most weapons aren't sharp enough, but it is possible.
- Fire: Fire is deadly to a vampire. Fire can easily burn the flesh and turn a vampire to ash, though keeping a vampire still long enough to set one on fire is a bit trickier.
- Sunlight: Sunlight is toxic to vampires. It burns their skin and can cause severe illness, including but not limited to rash, hallucinations, vomiting, and delirium.
- Weapons Carved from Wood: Vampires are susceptible to wood and wooden objects, including stakes and wooden bullets. If the heart of a vampire is pierced with a wooden object, the vampire will explode, and leave a mass of blood where they were previously standing.
