~Vampire~
Description
Vampires often have dark, usually ebony hair that is longish, and red eyes. They tend to be lean, though strong of body and quick of mind. Almost half of the vampire population is humans or other races turned into Vampires. The processes that result in a certain person becoming a vampire vary, though just a simple bite seldom is that effective in today’s world. A vampire’s lifespan can last quite a long time, even infinitely, but the rarity of vampire children or turnings keeps the population about even.
Culture
Natural Vampires tend to be loners, or travel in very small groups, and have certain customs they must or should observe, such as getting permission before entering a house or drinking the blood of a human. ‘Turned’ vampires may loathe their vampire status and try to stay true to whatever race they previously belonged even to the point where it is unhealthy, such as ignoring the need for blood.
Strengths
Vampires have a great ability for stealth and magic, with strength normal.
Weaknesses
Natural vampires tend to have a high pride, which can be used against them, while turned Vampires can be clumsy with their new powers and be victim to boughts of serious depression.
Classes often taken
Dark Knights, Necromancers, Sorcerers, Illusionists
Note
Healthy vampires should have at least one full cup of human blood every month, with more human blood or animal blood regularly. Also, if one’s blood is from a very pure Vampire line, they should avoid the sunlight altogether unless they are fond of being ash.
