Species name: Vampire
Lore: Back in the 16th hundred, there was a man named Dracula who enjoys toying with a woman's heart. One day he made a grave mistake. He toyed with a witch's heart, made her think that he loves her. When the witch caught him with another woman. She casted a curse upon him and any descendants. The curse made Dracula blood thirsty, nocturnal, and raged. For a generation or so, during the time. Dracula had became known as the first vampire and the first deadly killer of the night. He would feast hungrily. But with revenge in his heart towards the witch who cursed him. He sought out to create subordinates, heirs, soldiers... And more Vampires came to life. With the humans in fear they sought out for help. They united with a werewolf pack in need to be saved. Both their kinds in need united. Dracula was later defeated when a human and werewolf had both staked his heart and bitten his neck, turning him into ashes. The people had left a warning to all purebloods and half bloods to be weary of them. And so the vampires had gone into hiding, only luring prey into abandoned places.Years later the Vampires sought out for a truce with the Werewolf community after a witch tried to hunt both species down. That's when a 2 year war started.. both vamps and wolves vs the witches n warlocks.. The vamps had learn of the bad in the witches.. That they are the cause of it all. But atlas.. A witch and a vampire fell in love.. they both loved eachother before the war happen.. In fear of losing their only child.. they are force to move to America.. but before they could arrive, they tragically died by the hands of a witch. The witch soon later found out of their newborn child and found it still alive. The mother being a witch had casted a spell to protect her child from death. With disgust the witch sent the newborn to a scientist in hopes the world never knows about this secret... that the child would have been able to stop the war.. After 2 years the war had ended with vamps n wolves as the victor. They claimed for the witches n warlocks to ban all dark magic and to never cause treason upon them or they will face something worst than death. As od today the 3 species live amongst humanity, with some dispute but nothing serious for war again. The child remains unknown to the world but soon people will see
Abilties:
SuperHuman Strength: The superior physical strength of a vampire compared to that of a human is a prominent theme. Vampires possess strength equivalent to that of 50 or more strong men, sufficient to single-handedly lift heavy boulders with ease. Newborn vampires generally have the advantage of superior strength when in direct physical combat with a human; they can single-handedly lift a grown man off the ground and throw him across a room with enough speed and force to send him through a wall or across an alley.
Superhuman Speed: Vampires are extremely quick, moving faster than the human eye can possibly see. They can run in excess speeds and in their human form out run many beings such as ghosts and demons, but still much slower than that of a human werewolf.
Superhuman Agility: Vampires possess supernatural agility, they can nimble enough to scale sheer surfaces with amazing speed, vertically or horizontally, much like a spider.
Superhuman Sense: Vampire's senses of sight, smell, hearing, and touch are of supernatural keenness, comparable on many levels to a bat's. The vampire can see with perfect clarity in the darkness of the night, to the point of being able to detect the bodily heat emanations from its victims. The creature's hearing is comparable to a bat or an owl, possessing a level of sensitivity on par with the bat's own echo-sensitivity and they even have a sonar system just in case they are blinded. The Vampire's sense of smell is as acute as that of a wolf or a dog's, enabling the creature to track its prey for miles by the scent of the victim's blood alone, a sensation that the vampire relishes. The Vampire is also able to tell individual people apart by the scent of their blood coursing through their veins.Weaknesses:
Sunlight: Vampire does indeed burn in sunlight but do not 'burst into flames'. Vampire skins contain vampire chemical which reacts with sunlight, upon touch to UV rays vampires lose their skin and crumble to dust, stone, ash, bones, gooey piles and some vaporise. However, only some vampires burst into flames that have light touching their heart. They could counter this with daylight rings which have a ring called lapis lazuli
Dead Man's Blood: The use of blood from the recently deceased can also be used as a method to incapacitate vampires briefly.
Fire: Fire causes vampires a great deal of pain and injury; they can, however, quickly heal from even the worst burns if given time and blood. Age range:
Newborns: Newborns are newly transitioned vampires. They become unstable because of their heightened senses and emotions. 0 months to 1 year old
Fledgling: Fledglings are junior vampires. They begin to learn to control their thirst and only feed when necessary, as well as not kill the victim while feeding. A Fledgling remains so until the age of 50. Upon death they turn to a charred or desiccated corpse and in the sun they burst into flames and turn into ashes.
Ascendant: Ascendants are mature vampires. They are the most common types of vampires found in the known world. Upon death, they turn into a pile of ashes and bones, and upon contact from the sun, their skin wears off and they just rust into ashes or they just desiccate. Ascendants are between the age of 50 to 300.
Elder: Elders are vampires between the age of 300-700 years. They are much more powerful than other vampires and all clans consist of one elder. Elders cannot be slain in easy ways, because they burn in sunlight much slower than ascendant vampires and they are a lot quicker and stronger.
Ancient: Ancient vampires are between the age of 700-900 years. They are the strongest type of non-Original vampires. The could be killed like all the other vampires and could be killed by an Original Vampire without any assistance of weapons
Appearance: Can appear human but number 1 key to knowing a vampire is the pale skin and bright red eyes(when in hunger), for the changed they have the bite marks on the neck
