Vampire

Basic Information

Anatomy

The vampiric species is the result of a powerful disease know called vampirism. The anatomy of vampires is the exact same as the species that becomes infected, however vampires do not require the ability to breathe and can no longer sustain themselves on the food of mortals.

Biological Traits

Vampires tend to be paler and slimmer versions of themselves before contracting vampirism.

Genetics and Reproduction

Most vampires are sterile and unable to reproduce, however those descended from Lilly The Crimson Queen are capable of reproducing naturally. All vampires are capable of spreading the affliction via infecting others.

Ecology and Habitats

Most vampires are incapable of being out in day light. This makes dark environments such as being indoors with closed curtains, sewers and caves optimal for most vampires. Those who are vampire lords are capable of being out during the day but a slightly weakened by day light.

Dietary Needs and Habits

The dietary needs of vampires can vary between the blood of the living, emotions, and magical energy. Vampire lords may continue to feed on the food of mortals.

Biological Cycle

Many vampires become nocturnal as to avoid the day light. Those who are infected with vampirism can seek treatment, however if it goes untreated the infected will die and resurrect as a vampire.

Additional Information

Social Structure

The structure on vampires is solely based on who turned others into vampires. This gives vampires a sort of family structure with the head of the family being a vampire lord. Vampire lords are natural born vampires descended from Lilly the Crimson Queen. If a vampire is killed, this will sever the magical connection between it and those it had turned, killing both the vampire and those turned by it.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Not all vampires have the same sensory abilities but most have enhanced vision and hearing.
