Vampire

Playable Race

Vampires in legend are blood-feeding undead who prey upon humans for survival. They are either bestial monsters, or conniving masterminds, but they always hunger for fresh blood, and will stop at nothing to get it.

In reality, they're cursed humans who hunger for the blood of their own kind. The desire for blood often drives them to villainy; it's a rare vampire that can take their mind off of their ever-burning hunger and turn it to more constructive pursuits. If they exist, though, they're likely to reside somewhere far away from wider society.

Vampires need the blood of sapient beings to survive, but can get by on other red beverages for short amounts of time. They are also very weak to silver.  Other than that, many of the various legends of vampires dictate many abilities and weaknesses that only manifest in certain bloodlines, or under certain conditions. Every vampire has a Maker, and they are the one who defines an individual's limits and invests in them power.
