Vampires

Vampires are creatures that take on the appearance of beautiful, oftentimes pale, humans. In order to survive, vampires require sustenance in the form of blood. Vampires are often seen in clans, built in abandoned towns that are promptly wiped off the map after becoming populated by the Children of The Night.

How Are They Different?
Vampires often appear human upon first glance, aside from their pale skin. Despite this, vampires are vastly different than humans in a multitude of ways. Most notably, vampires survive by drinking blood. Despite being able to eat human food, blood is a vital source of nutrients. Without it, vampires become crazed. Equipped with a set of retractable fangs, vampires are able to drain their food sources efficiently. You'll know a vampire is hungry when their eyes become red.

Another substantial difference is that vampires are immortal. Purebloodundefined vampires stop aging upon reaching adulthood (in their early twenties), while convertedundefined vampires stop aging upon being turned.

Vampire senses are superior to those of a human. They are also twice as strong as the strongest human, and twice as fast as the swiftest human runner.

Vampires are allergic to garlic, but it won't kill them. Religious items don't affect them, and they are able to enter homes with or without permission, unless the home has been warded by Witches.

Stages of Decay
If a vampire goes too long without blood, they'll slowly begin to lose their rationality, becoming more and more like a rabid animal. This occurs in stages, detailed below.
 * Stage A: Normal
 * Stage B: Two days without blood leads to throat burning, fatigue, loss of logic, mood swings, and auditory/visual hallucinations.
 * Stage C: Four days without blood leads to Stage B symptoms, as well as the urge to attack all creatures, even fellow vampires. Stage C vampires are ravenous, delusional, and irrational.
 * Stage D: Seven days without blood. These vampires are no longer able to communicate, have lengthened fangs, and attack anything in sight. It is a completely animalistic state. Their posture will be strange, and they will no longer move like humans. Eyes are always red and always dilated. Once a vampire gets to this stage, not much is left. There's no possibility of being brought back into a rational mindset.
 * Stage E: Nine days without blood. If a Stage D vampire has gone without blood, they will fall into a comatose state. It's possible to be revived with blood, but only back into a Stage D vampire.
