Other information: Becoming a vampire is a gradual process. A human begins transforming after drinking a vampire's blood, becoming a half-vampire rather than changing immediately. Half-vampires develop vampiric traits such as enhanced strength, heightened senses, blood cravings, sensitivity to sunlight and eventually levitation or flight, while still retaining part of their humanity. The transformation remains incomplete until they willingly make their first kill and drink human blood, which permanently completes the change into a full vampire. If the head vampire responsible for the bloodline is killed before the transformation is completed, the half-vampire can return to being fully human. David is a full vampire.
