Myths
Known as the original Night Walkers, these beautiful creatures are both deadly and seductive. Powerful, strong, smart, and cunning, vampires are natural born killers. They can turn humans into vampires as well, but not just by biting them alone. There must be an exchange of blood between a vampire and a human, otherwise there is not change.
Vampires can go for long periods of time without feeding, but to do so leaves them extremely weakened the longer they hold off.
Little is known about the vampire race and how it was started. Many believe that a knight sold his soul to a god to gain immortality, but in turn gave up everything that made him human. Others say that vampires started off as a clan of elves, and would often partake in the blood of others to sustain both their youth and their powers. They were cursed by the Ancients for taking such measures, and were forced to live an eternal but damned existence.
Attributes
Vampires are capable of many things once they reach a certain 'age'. Once they have matured, they are granted a demon-like bat form, as well as a bit of dark, natural magic.
The magic is not as powerful, but it is something to fear. It grants a vampire the ability to form into mist, hypnosis of prey, shadow manipulation, and increased healing abilities.
Powers
Vampires are capable of four of the following:
Wiser Magic – (applicable only if a healer/ apothecary) The ability to use a more book learned magic, beyond that given by nature. Less natural magic ability is required. This includes offensive elemental magic, summoning, and potion making. Darker Magic – (applicable only if a healer/ apothecary) The ability to use what is the darker side of the magical understanding, and an abomination to the beauty of nature. This includes necromancy, witchcraft, and curses. Stealth - The ability to keep well hidden and preserved with its surroundings. Heightened Senses - The ability to be more aware of its surroundings than other creatures. Shape Shifting - The ability to temporarily change its shape to that of an animal (usually a wolf, cat or bat, but other rarer forms could be used) Animal Speech - The ability to verbally communicate with any animal. Levitation - The ability to travel through the air. (without use of wings, in their demon creature form, a vampire often sports large, leathery bat like wings.) Seduction - The ability to convince another to do anything by way of emotional, psychological, or sexual persuasion. Strength - The ability to use and demonstrate a completely unnatural and unusual physical strength. Natural Resistance - The ability to resist unbearable temperature changes (other than sunlight. Sunlight will burn you no matter what).
Weaknesses
The vampire is weak against very few things. The list is simple. Items to make a vampire sick, or to injure said vampire:sunlight, silver, garlic, hawthorn, and a substance known as 'holy water' (A form of poison made of mixing together silver, garlic, nightshade, wormwood, lemon, mercury, and arsenic. (A cruel poison that takes 10 full minutes to kill its victim while causing the most horrid pain imaginable. There is an antidote.) Ways to kill a vampires: Staking the creature through the heart, beheading, steel or iron needles driven into the heart, and left in the sun for extended periods of time. Occupations
Nobles of Darkness - These vampires are the rulers of all the vampiric clans. The keep the order and pass the laws (Admin Approval Needed). Warrior - All the races need someone to defend them, and the vampire warriors are by far some of the strongest. The demon like creature that a mature vampire can change into is a sought after addition to many armies, mostly for their ability to mow down large numbers of enemies, their resilience, and their berserker nature. (one downside to this is it is hard to bring a vampire back from said creature state.) Hunter - Someone needs to keep rogue creatures at bay. Tavern Keeper - Pretty self explanatory Prison Guard - Those who keep the prisoners in their jail cells. Witch/Wizard - Those who dabble in Wiser Magic and Darker Magic and are often good and evil. (Must have either Wiser Magic or Darker Magic). Escort/ bodyguard - One who guards nobles and important figures across treacherous and dangerous terrains. Blacksmith- One who crafts weapons and armor, along with everyday things (Must have Crafting) Assassin- A mercenary hired to kill certain people. Not usually tied down to one side or another, the assassin tends to side with whoever pays the most. (A wonderful job for a vampire considering the stealthy attributes of the vampire kind.) Apothecary- Dabbles in potions and herbology. Unlike healers, they make poisons as well (Must have Wise Magic, as well as their natural chaotic/darker magic). Healer - Like apothecaries, they also dabble in potions and herbology, but they also have the ability to heal through the use of wiser magic (Must have Wiser Magic).
