Average Intelligence

Whatever intelligence they had as a Human

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Hearing and sight remain the same. Though night vision is improved and hearing is slightly increased due to them becoming night creatures. Their sense of smell also increases. Typically, they don't get any magickal or extrasensory abilities. Every once in a while there is one or two among them that does. It all depends if Infinite Grace or a Gloombringers takes an interest in the person before they change. One such ability is hypnosis.

Civilization and Culture

Major Organizations

While they tend to be in every kingdom/state around the world, they typically detach themselves from the society they were once a part of. They step away for several reasons with the most important two being:
  • They want to hide their nature so that they aren't killed.
  • They now view those in the society (including loved ones) as food and nothing more.
While they have detached from society, they will make sure to follow most of the laws and rules of the society as to maintain reason one for stepping away.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

Same as Human

History

The history of this race is nearly as long as that of Human history. Though how vampyres came into existance has long since been forgotten, though the Vatican may have records on this.   While vampyres are mainly solitary creatures, they have an equally bloody history if not more so than Humans. Even with as much as they are hunted by the Vatican, the vampyres numbers are slowly increasing but the exact numbers are unclear.   Duskwood Stakes are very effective in killing vampyres. While Silver is believed to help, it's still only conjecture because even those who don't have silver laced on their stakes are effective. How much the Glowstone Crystal and Warding Charm charm has against a vampyre is unknown. As the vampyre never live long enough to tell whether or not these are effective in protecting the Human against them.   The symbol of Infinite Grace hurts them (usually burns them), and will repel them from the wearer.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

They see other species, especially Humans as food.
