Vampires

Vampires, also known as Feeders, are indigenous to The Dead
Forest, where they subsist off others like a parasite, and
occasionally, each other. Recently they have become a global
phenomenon, now feared worldwide for their diet which consists
of the blood of living beings.
Vampires possess outstanding physical traits as well as inhumane
levels of regeneration, being somewhat close to immortal if none
of their weaknesses are invoked. They can run for miles with
minimal fatigue, break wood with their bare hands. The most
prominent physical features of a vampire are their retractable
fangs and claws, which are as strong as steel. Vampires do not
need to eat regular food, drink water, sleep or defecate.
The undead creature also carries a number of mighty spiritual
abilities such as forming bats, becoming mist and hypnotizing
with just a glance. Vampires who are also magicians find that
their magic ability is greatly enhanced by the undead power, and
their overdraw limit is greatly raised.
Blood is the main resource of vampires: they drain blood to
replenish their mana reserves, their undead 'lifeforce', their
sin energy and improve their physical being. By sinking their
teeth into a blood vessel, most commonly in the neck, vampires
can suck a living or recently dead victim's blood. The process,
though normally painful, can be alleviated if the vampire pulses
their toxin into the victim as well: causing a strong feeling of
euphoria, peace and bliss. Stored blood can also suffice for
nutrition, but its taste is plain.
Vampires also create more through their bite; if someone bitten
by a vampire dies within the next few minutes, there is a large
chance that they will rise from the grave again as a enthralled
vampire. If they had a unique feature relative to their own
body, spirit or mind; it is very likely that the unique feature
will have completely vanished, and they will otherwise be unable
to use it.
There are tell-tale signs of one being a vampire even before
they bare their fangs. The undead creature carries absolutely no
reflection, whether it be in mirrors, water or anything else. If
the vampire hasn't unleashed their true form at any point, they
will also still smell like a corpse.
For all the power vampires have, they carry a bounty of
countless weaknesses. If a Vampire does not feed, they begin to
lose their grip on the mind, becoming more instinctual while
weakening until they eventually become mindless and attack
anything in sight. Vampires are also unable to enter any private
residence without being given permission. Most notably,
sunlight, holy power and purifying weapons are especially
poignant against a vampire compared to most undead. A stake
through the heart is an instant-kill against a normal vampire
with no chance of resurrection (this is less effective against
sires).

VAMPIRE RANKINGS:
I. Blueblood
A necromancer tampered with their body and soul in an attempt to
become immortal, twisting themself into the very first vampire,
and the only known Blueblood to ever exist. His power was
legendary and beyond all other magicians known to man at the
time: but to keep this power going, he found he had to sustain
himself on the blood of others. So goes the fairytale of
Blueblood, an urban myth used to scare children.
II. Sire
Sires can also decide to ressurect their slain not as vampires,
but as zombies.
III.
IV.
