Vampires
Vampires are powerful supernatural beings who have been given the gift of immorality, but for a price of their soul. Vampires in Drannors lore are not affected by the sun, but are harmed by any white magic.
Can you tell vampires apart from other humans?
Most Vampires appear as young, beautiful humans with pale skin, sharpened canine teeth, and unnaturally colored glowing eyes. Usually the magic that creates vampires does not normally effect non humans, as some other races are so long lived they do not desire immortality like short lived humans do. Vampires are notorious for their urge to drink the blood of the living, which most must do regularly if they are to maintain their existence given their heart no longer beats. A vampire often is overcome with thirst that the creature falls into a blood lust of sorts. These creatures are known as Varghulf, which is a monstrous killing machine that exists only to feed. Varghulf are large, white creatures that are bat-like in appearance (but can look relativity normal when out of their blood lust) Varghulf always kill their victims. The usual Vampire-kin do not classify these creatures as their own kin but something entirely different and do not adopt their need to kill their prey. To the Vampire-kin of , blood is precious and they often stick with certain prey, so they see absolutely no reason to kill their food source.
Vampire History
The creation of the first vampire was started at the beginning of creation, where the gods descended from the heavens to create the many realms and the first creation, Despoina, a creature meant to the mother of human-kind . Despoina had the traits of nearly all the gods, especially the goddess of romance's curvy figure. Of course, this tempted the god T'acito, the creation too beautiful to ignore with her pale skin and enchanting eyes.
As the gods were busy painting the realms, T'acito took Despoina to bed as his lust for the creature was too much to bare.
Soon the mother of all humanity was with child, but not the child the gods desired.
T'acito was cast down from the heavens and no longer granted access to the land of gods and Despoina was killed as punishment and had sworn that humans were no longer allowed to live as long as the gods as they originally.
T'acito sought to create his own version of humanity to spit in the face of the others. But, decided to wait until the god's became bored with their creations. T'acito did hide for thousands of years, deeming the time right. The god eventually pushed himself out of hiding under the guise of a creature called "Lesientat" and sought out the perfect candidate for his own creation, a human strikingly similar to his Despoina. But, he didn't want the turning to be a romantic one, noo.. he wanted the creature to be near death and in pain so the god's sought to take it away, only to find that the creature would live forever to spite them. This is where the current ritual of turning had begun.
His new creature soon created the new strain of humanity who lovingly call her "Queen Despoina".
The gods, after losing several of their little creations to this new strain of humanity cursed them with the lust of blood to survive, given how they were created with a form of blood magic, their souls were stripped away from and the gods formed them into an image that was nearly monstrous.
But Queen Despoina's creatures became selective of their victims, only choosing the most beautiful so the blood line was less, monstrous, which created the pale, nearly death-like appearance, glowing eyes (gifted from the gods to warn the other creations of their monstrous nature) and sharp canine. The followers of Despoina had the intention to create a creature so beautiful that humans would be lured to them out of sheer lust. To humanity these creatures became known as "Vampires" liking the name, they adopted it and spread their strains across the realms, until the original lore was lost and changed to each vampire's liking.
Vampires in Society:
Vampires can blend into society as long as they stay fed, so their lust for blood is not present. But the eyes usually give them away so they are often covered with shades. As long they are fed they could work alongside human kind, assuming positions that would gather money for their clans or houses.
Racial Abilities,
Strengths:
Speed- These creatures are able to run faster than MOST races, humans included. One would say nearly cheetah speed.
Moderately enhanced strength- A young vampire would be able to lift high end weightlifting scale - 600-800 lbs ( with effort) 1 tons for those who have been a vampire or over a rp year, and elders ( 500 years+) would be at the 1.5-2.5 ton range.
Addictive bite- The blood magic in which they were originally created with gives the vampire-kin a bite that is addictive to humans, so they come back for more.
Immortality-They are very hard to kill by any conventional means.
Persuasion- By looking into the eyes of the victim as they are speaking creates a sort of hypnosis that lures the victim to their person (the stronger willed are not normally swayed, but the weaker willed are easily swayed)
Weaknesses:
Must drink blood to survive.
Can burn easier by fire than any other race.
May not enter a Private dwelling without permission and if permission is revoked verbally they are no longer allowed in the space.
Must not enter any space that has anything to do with the gods.
They are repelled by symbols and statues of the gods.
Note from the Admins: Other types vampires are allowed, but will be considered a different race all together, if you have a vampire type to suggest, please seek out the admins or submit a request VIA the forum.
