Known as the youngest supernatural species to date-the Original only being 2,394 years old-they are still one of the most heavily populated species. A young Greek woman named Ambrosia, now known as Kaia Rion, holds the title of Original and does so with iron fangs. She currently only has five remaining progeny's who each have their own individual parts to play.


Vampire's are not widely known to be anything but independent but like other species there are a few covens, or some like to call themselves families, around the globe.


Their eye color remains the same as when they were Human, but are known to turn red when filled with adrenaline from either feeding or a strong emotional effect such as love and anger.

Blessed with almost impenetrable skin it is difficult to actually cause harm to a Vampire with any metal object, though the object can be used to cut and stab the Vampire it will have no lasting effect due to the Vampires quick healing abilities. Decapitation is the only exception. However if one is quick and is prepared to possibly lose their life then a attack may be successful with a sharp wooden object, which is makes it harder for the Vampire to heal unless driven through the heart, then death is eminent.

Just like in most Vampire legends, Vampire's have retractable fangs. This is to help the Vampire blend in better and allow them to choose when to show them or hide them. Although fangs are primarily for feeding, they also are a defense mechanism and are known to be incredibly sharp, but not as sharp as a Were's.


The instant a vampire meets their true death their bodies begin to decay. Their once flawless skin begins to turn gray and sink in; their veins become dark and are visible at the surface. Due to the overall lack of blood and oxygen running through them this is as far as their bodies can decay.


Vampires are graced with abilities superior to that of their prey. Impeccable sight, the ability to hear long distances, as well as being able to pick up scents from a distance is only a few. When paired with the deadly speed, quick healing abilities and cat like grace, as well as the strength of ten men, the vampire becomes a major threat to most.

Most people find themselves uncontrollably attracted to Vampires, that is, if the vampire chooses to attract you. This is called Glamoring. Once in a Vampires trance the only way of escape is for the Vampire to lose it's concentration, usually caused by an attack on it or interruption. With this they have the ability to control your feelings, thoughts, and actions but their power is only as strong as their skill and current blood level. If Glamored by a Vampire the victim is not aware of what is happening and have no control.

Though all Vampires have the natural instinct to hunt to quench their thirst, that doesn't make them all ruthless killers. They feel a whole array of Human emotions from happy to depressed and can even cry tears of blood.

Vampire lack lung function and therefore do not need to breath, though Vampires often breathe just to seem Human. Most newborn Vampires are known to breathe simply out of habit.

Vampires are also able to sleep and dream but they are easily awoken by the slightest sounds.

Lastly if a Vampire is injured severely enough they can take shelter within the dirt instead of resorting to massive intakes of blood. This way is slightly quicker than consuming blood but still doesn't fully heal the Vampire until blood is ingested also.


Their skin is sensitive to sunlight but only after elongated exposure to the sun will they start to crack and burn. The amount of blood in their body also effects how long they can remain outside. This however can be reduced when wearing thick darkening clothing to cover the body.

Fire. One of the harder ways to kill a Vampire, Vampire's are rarely killed by fire due to their quick speed and heightened senses. Unless by the hands of another Vampire, it is hard for someone to keep a Vampire still long enough to actually catch them on fire. Although it may take longer to kill a Vampire then it would a Human, it is still one of the few things that are able to completely kill a Vampire. Weaker Vampires burn quickly, due to the lack of blood in their bodies and most times burn until they are ashes.

Decapitation is the most preferred way to kill a vampire by Human Hunters, mostly because it is a certain guarantee that the Vampire is dead and you get proof of it as well. Although not just any Human could achieve this due to the Vampire's quick reflexes and other abilities, but if the Vampire is weak enough or allows this, a strong and talented enough Human can kill him/her this way.

Like in many legends Vampires are susceptible to a stake through the heart. Any metal objects will hurt them but wont cause immediate death. Wooden stakes are a effective method of killing Vampires but one must be able to get close enough or have good enough aim to successfully kill the Vampire this way.

A sure way to quickly weaken a Vampire is Were venom. If one is able to get close enough the venom must be enter the bloodstream in order for it to take effect. Once in the bloodstream the Vampire is susceptible to large amounts of pain that can only be cured by massive amounts of blood intake.

Vampires must be invited into the home by a member of the household before entering the home. If the Vampire enters without a invitation consequences are deadly. First they'll start to shake while on the inside it feels as if a fire was started and slowly heats them up. After a moment, if the invitation is still not given, blood leaks from every part of their body until finally after several minutes of this they will pass out. After thirty minutes the Vampire dries up and ultimately becomes a pile of bones. A invitation can also be revoked but only by the person who accepted the invite in the first place.

Contrary to popular belief, Vampires are not weakened in any way by garlic, holy objects, or consummated ground. Though garlic is a good way to keep a Vampire from draining a Human if ingested due to its strong odor and unpleasant taste, it only effects their senses and will usually only result in pissing the vampire off.


After a Vampire is created their hair and nails stop growing. However if a Vampire cut his or her hair or nails within 24 hours the hair will grow back to how it was originally.

Vampire blood ingested by another Vampire results in a temporary connection with the other Vampire. Though it isn't as strong as a blood bond between a sire and their progeny, the two Vampires will be able to feel the other's emotions, including when one is hurt, as well as sense their general location. This effect only lasts a few days unless fed the blood regularly.

Among the Vampire community it is known that Vampire blood has healing qualities to Humans, Magi, Hybrids, and Shifters. As powerful as this may seem it does have it's limitations. Vampire blood cannot cure natural diseases or wounds caused by magical means, but if the Human or Magi hasn't already lost a lot of blood the Vampire blood given to the victim will heal the wound instead of starting the turning process, including offering slightly heightened senses for a short time.


Directly after feeding, a Vampire's body absorbs the blood to run through their own veins to mix with their own blood. This gives the Vampire a small frame of time to seem almost human, a small amount of color returning to their normally pale skin. If they have not drank blood in an extended period of time they grow weak, easier to kill and often insane, but still cannot die.
Most Vampires prefer human blood because it is simply stronger and better tasting, but those who do not like to satisfy their instincts to kill or feed from Humans, drink from animals instead. If a Vampire was to eat Human food it would only sit in the Vampire's stomach until they spit it back up for their bodies cannot digest it properly. However Vampires have been known to drink alcohol, not only to curve their appetite if blood is not available but also for a buzz and possibly a good time as well as other beverages such as coffee or tea.


In general terms, the process of turning a vampire is simple and only requires the human to have vampire blood in their system within 24 hours of their death. The longer they remain alive with the blood in their system the less likely they will become a vampire if they were to die with it in their system, after the 24 hour period being almost non-existent in the blood. Once they have passed through their First Death within a 24 hour period they will awaken as a vampire. After they have awoken they will need to feed within a few days time or their body will begin the decaying process as if they were staked but at a much slower pace. Usually most newborns don't have a problem with this as their hunger is usually considered to be the most severe at this point in their immortal lives as any other.

Once fully changed the new Vampire will forever have a connection to their sire. The more blood they use will result in a stronger bond. The 'father' or 'mother' Vampire can always find their child and vise versa, their emotions are also forever tied together as well, and the sire has the ability to call their child mentally to them. However the sire cannot control the child and the only way to severe the connection is for one of them to die. Though once the second death takes place the other will instantly feel the connection broken. That is why most Vampires only have one to two children at a time as their connection is strong.


Due to Vampire's heightened senses their emotions are heightened as well. Vampire's emotions are much stronger than a humans and any personality traits from their human days becomes magnified after turning. Because of this when two Vampires become mates the connection is extremely strong. Vampire mating is not an actual physical connection like Magi mating but there have been cases to where two Vampire's in love remained together for centuries.

Vampires can reproduce but the process isn't widely known and is extremely dangerous. Female vampires cannot bare children but male vampires can mate with a female human and create what is known as a hybrid. The process is simple-a female human must have the vampires blood in her system before conception. However the pregnancy is short and results in the humans death, whether permanent or turned after giving birth.


Besides their normal Vampire abilities some Vampires are graced with additional powers, though this is very rare. In some cases a Vampire with added abilities was once a Magi and their main specialty was transferred over after death, in others the Human turned Vampire may have seemed to simply be lucky; but the Magi gene must be present in the Human before transforming, even if in a dormant state, in order for increased chances of an added ability. Normal humans with no magical genes whatsoever will not gain a ability (or magical like power), but still has a high chance of heightening an already existing skill to the point of mastery. A Vampire's ability, or heightened skill, reflect the person's personality, skills, or life experiences as a human and are unique to that one person. No Vampire has the same exact power and are not without limitations.
