Vampires

 Transformation 

The transformation into a Vampire involves a few steps. First the Vampire drains the victim, then they give them their blood. The fledgling then dies and will come back after a night as a vampire.

Powers
They have a variety of benefits from being turned. Better sight, better smell, moving faster, strength and immortality. When they bite someone the Vampire can either make it feel nice or hurt like hell depending on their intentions for the person. Some vampires end up either immediately or over time with other powers that rise out of talents they've had before or characteristics they had. It can take those and essentially just put it on steroids. For instance Ailith is super fast cause she was good at being sneaky when she was alive. Frazier can tell what people want easily and use those desires to reel them in.

Characteristics
There are a few things all vampire share. Their fangs which extend when they are going to feed. I imagine their canines are slightly longer than a human's normally. They also have the feature of their eyes going black when they are hungry or whenever they want to reveal them for effect if they're getting all fancy. I'd also imagine it happens when sexy stuff be going down (pun intended). If the Vampire feeds on someone who has taken drugs, been drinking or any sort of mind altering substances the Vampire will receive those effects. Sort of fitting into this category is the variety of blood. Different races have different tastes or effects. A shifter would be more satisfying than a human and a faery's blood is highly sought after for a some because it's sort of like a drug to a vampire. Everyone has their own tastes in food. Vampires are no different.

Weaknesses
Beheading obviously isn't good for anyone, sun can't touch their skin or they'll get all crispy. They can't feed on dead blood or they'll get sick. Their bodies also have a limit on how much blood they can take in in a period of time. It's hard to reach that point but if someone was to say go on a bender and feed for several days in a row they might over eat and get something similar to food poisoning feeling wise as their body tries to right what they've done wrong.

Terminology
'' These are obviously just the like widely accepted terms. Lingo and jargon can change for different people ''


 * Sire: The vampire that changes someone is called their sire.


 * Fledgling: A fledgling is the person the sire turns into a vampire. The fledgling and their sire have a deeper connection and the sire can normally tell exactly where the fledgling is. They often also have territorial feelings about their fledgling.


 * Caretaker: A Caretaker is a person who is connected to a vampire deeply but not one themselves. Some vampires will create these to be their eyes in the day, or just for companion ship. The motivations behind it change vampire to vampire. they're created by giving them a steady diet of the Vampire's blood over time. These Caretakers are by no means as powerful as a vampire. They receive long life, better senses but essentially that's it. They cannot survive without the Vampire that has turned them into a Caretaker. If the Vampire dies so do they.
