Vampires

Those who are bitten by a vampire will contract vampirism, but it doesn’t make them into a true vampire, that is only possible through a ritual.

Those bitten are mutated with the disease and have certain qualities that of a vampire such as enhanced physical attributes like strength, speed, reflexes. But their susceptible to death like a mortal and they do not regenerate as fast as a pure blooded vampire. These infected are seen as lesser by vampires. • Seniorem vampires (elder vampires)

• Pietas vampires(They change depending on what god they worship)

• Largitio vampires (corrupt)

• Vita Vampire (life)

• Mortem Vampire (death)

• Doctus Vampires (Wise)

• Novicius vampires (new vampires)

Seniorem vampires are ancient vampires who are thousands of years old. They have an entire council which is hidden from the public eye but rulers trade with them in return for the council to send out one of their own to deal with feral vampires who cause havoc. Seniorem vampires are extremely powerful and the difference between an elder vampire and a newborn is drastic.

Doctus vampires are a branch of the high council whose sole existence is to gather information.

Largitio vampires are feral vampires who cause total chaos and consume everything in their path, they are void of rational thought and they only want to devour everything living.

Vampire effects/attributes:

Accelerated healing: vampires heal with fresh blood in their system, they can heal cuts and broken bones in seconds and can regenerate entire limbs in 10-15 minutes.

Enhanced senses: they can smell blood within 30 miles, they can see 5x better than eagles, they can see in infrared which aids in them catching prey. They can hear 3x better than a human and can rotate their ears like cats.

A major drawback for vampires is that once infected with vampirism, the disease will start to attack their cells which causes the body to be incapable of producing certain things like blood, melanin, collagen and the disease also causes certain rabies-like symptoms such as aggression, agitation, hallucinations, confusion and eventually hydrophobia. If a vampire doesn't consume blood once every two weeks they will start experiencing these changes and symptoms, eventually if a vampire doesn't consume blood they will go into a hibernation state where their body takes on a mummy-like appearance. A vampire can only be awakened from this by aid of another as they are partially paralyzed.

Blood to a vampire is what causes their bodies to remain young and powerful, a person with high amounts of melanin or dark skin will slowly notice that their skin lightens when they don't drink blood. Blood is what reverses the negative effects of vampirism, so once blood is ingested the host will revert back to their original appearance.

The vampirism disease causes immortality, meaning they can't die by age, vampirism makes it so that the host can't be infected by another disease because the disease vampirism is stronger than any other created disease as it was designed by an Elder god.

Vampires can conceive meaning female vampires can get pregnant and male vampires can impregnate. It doesn't need to be with a vampire, but if a none-vampire tries to conceive with a vampire the baby will be a vampire and the mother will have to drink blood weekly to avoid the vampire baby from eating their own mother from inside the womb.
