Vampire
Vampires are a sub-category of humans believed to have been accidentally abducted. They mainly stay in Le’varia but are also found outside of their kingdom. Vampires sustain their lives by feeding on the blood of other beings and giving them immortal life. Outside of Le’varia it is unlawful to feed on the public but even in their lands it is still frowned upon but no law exists. Most vampires now drink synthetic or donated blood instead of preying on people. Those rogue vampires that break the laws of the other nations get pursued by the hunters and Le’varia is no safe haven from them. The vampires have abilities that are tapped into by burning up blood in their systems. These blood skills vary from vampire to vampire.
The ancients of Le’varia have worked hard for peace in their kingdom and throughout the world they dwell in. The sun is not some deadly curse to the vampires but they do prefer the darkness where they feel stronger and more at home. They are not all the monsters from stories either. While a few follow that path most are sophisticated productive members of society, who value more than a juicy neck to sink their teeth into. The vampires walk many paths in the world some for good, some for evil, and some just for a few tarryns.
Personality: Scholar, Artistic, Accepting, Addictive
Social: The majority of vampire society is built on royal families of ancient bloodlines and to be sired into those families is considered an extreme honor. This part of society is extremely high browed, proper, and elegant. There is also a ragtag section of society that pays no mind to their ancestral society and acts in what the royals see as sinful excess. Unfortunately for high society the king of the vampires is one of those sinful few. Those vampires tend to be very impulsive and focus on their personal pleasures. They also tend to be the more artistic members of society while the main faction is politicians and historians. Vampires tend to be very open and accepting of other species, cultures, and interested in learning about them.
