WCCP Vampire Information

VAMPIRE Pale in appearance, cold to the touch, they otherwise appear normal to humans. When they show their vampire form, however, they grow fangs, claws and some vampires have their eyes change to become all red, or all black. Any holy symbol bears no effect on vampires, one can even wear a cross against their skin as they would any other jewelry. Upon death, vampires leave no evidence behind but light ashes that the faintest of breeze carries away. A being with a sharp nose, however, would pick up the acrid scent. When a human is turned, their body die. The transformation happens in a matter of hours and is basically painless. If a woman is pregnant, their child die and her body purges the stillborn. Vampires are unable to procreate. When first turned, the fledgling will share a bond with its Sire that allows one to track the other as if there was a compass in their mind pointing at the other half of the bond. The Sire also sense the Fledgling's thirst and is able to help control it, if the Sire has acquired a good grip on their own feeding. At all time the Sire is responsible for its fledgling and could possibly share its fate should the fledgling break the law. When turned, the fledgling will acquire what is called a Dark Gift. The dark gift of the Fledgling may or may not be related to the one of their Sire. It will be out of control at first, and the young vampire has to learn to control it. By the age of 1000, the dark gift evolves and a second one appears. It is an offshoot, related to the first one. A telepath may develop empathy or memory manipulation, for example, but not control of fire. Strength Immortal, they do not age or become ill. The older they are, the stronger they get. Fast, vampires are a blur to the human eye when moving at full speed. Enhanced sense of hearing and smell for tracking. Sleeping is optional Fast regeneration, dependent on their last feeding. The more thirsty they are, the less they heal. The bite induces a state of orgasmic bliss caused by the vampire's saliva as a means to control their victim. Gains sustenance from blood, but also memories from the bitten. Gains a Dark Gift when turned, and it develops into a second one at around 1000 years old. Weaknesses Under 1000 years old, the sun reduces them to ashes. From 1000 to 2000 years old, the sun causes a rash but the immunity builds up. A stake through the heart, beheading, or immolating a vampire kills it. If their neck is broken, a vampire is paralyzed until it is healed. Vampire blood offers no sustenance to another vampire, but does share memories just the same. Social Structure The older the vampire, the more respect should be shown. Vampire live in covens led by one vampire who may appoint a second. Europe has 1 coven: London North America has 4 covens: Alaska, California, Louisiana, and Vermont Vampires without a coven are called Drifters Law #1:No human may be turned against their will. Law #2:A vampire may not kill another vampire, with the exception made for leaders enforcing the law or those that they have chosen as enforcers. Law #3:No human may have knowledge of vampires. They are to be killed,taken as a doll, turned, or influenced by a Dark gift Interaction With Other Species All of them can be taken as dolls, although some are ICly strongly discouraged Fae There is a tension between Fae and Vampire, but a treaty was signed so that the North American soil be kept a peaceful one. Before the discovery of the Americas, there was an age old feud between Vampire and Fae that caused fatalities on both sides. Some old vampires will remember those, and the rumor of how some of the oldest vampires were force-fed Fae blood, turned weak and human, then killed. No one even remembers what started the feud, but most of those over 500 years old would remember the fighting or rumors of them. Strong taboo: Fae blood give vampires ability to travel in the sunlight for a few hours. Cannot be turned into a vampire. Human They are food, but they are also the most likely companions. A human's body is warm and a vampire crave the warmth that its own body has lost. Most traditional source of food, and those willing are called Blood Dolls. Vampire blood heals a human who is not dying. Vampire blood turns a human who is dying. Human can be claimed by a vampire, and a claimed human cannot be touched by another vampire. Shapeshifter The two species have lived in a tentative harmony ever since the New World came to be. In North America, the shapeshifters are free, not to be enslaved, but in London they are the day guardians of the vampire, enslaved and belonging to the Vampire coven, marked by a dark gift to remain loyal. Drinking Shapeshifter blood sends the senses in overdrive, including lust. Blood has highly addictive properties, like a very strong drug. Cannot be turned into a vampire. Vampire blood helps the regeneration of the shapeshifter Witch The relationship with the witches is similar to the one with humans, save for the feeding since the witch's blood is poison, tainted by their ability to touch the nexus' energy. Their blood is poison, does not kill them but will make them feel rather ill till the blood is out of their systems. Though the more they ingest the weaker they will feel. Due to the nature of their blood, there will be no vampire-turned witch.
