Vampire

Vampires are a race of creatures that feed off mortal blood for sustenance. All vampires originate from their progenitor, Kan Rugum. While they were initially powerful enough to disrupt the balance of the mortal realm, vampires as a whole were soon cursed by the gods to decrease their potential dramatically.

Characteristics
As a curse, the effects of becoming a vampire varies from person to person. As vampirism was created with blood and dark magic, the corrupting influence of both would cause the victim to be consumed with their darkest thoughts and driven by their desire for blood that few could resist. The urge for blood is what sustains them as they must consume it to keep active and remain strong.

To create a new vampire, the subject must have enough vampiric blood within their veins and allow it to spread across their entire body.

Powers & Abilities

 * Superior Physiology: Vampires possess superior strength, stamina, senses, and speed compared to that of mortal races, capable of outperforming all but the most extreme examples.
 * Immortality: Once they become vampires, they can then potentially live forever, unaffected by ageing or disease. They can, however, be killed
 * Regeneration: Vampires can recover quickly from wounds that would be fatal for them before becoming a vampire. They can not, however, recover from decapitations or regrow limbs.

Weaknesses

 * Higher Beings: Vampires can be killed trivially by more powerful entities such as gods, dragons, demigods, or spellcasters.
 * Sunlight: While the myths tell of vampires burning in sunlight, in truth, they are weakened with their powers dampened significantly if caught within direct sunlight. If a vampire stays within sunlight for long enough, they will lose strength permanently.
 * Starvation: The longer a vampire goes without consuming blood from any source, the weaker they become. The effects of starvation set in after three days of no feeding.
 * Bodily Harm: Despite their regenerative abilities, vampires cannot regrow severed limbs if not re-attached properly. However, losing their head will kill a vampire.
