   Keys: kindred, cainite, vampire · Secondary: kindred, cainite

   Immortal beings cursed with an unquenchable thirst for blood and a lethal vulnerability to sunlight – creatures forever bound to their inner Beast (the animal urges of hunger, fear and rage). Vampires need to consume blood regularly for sustenance. Each day a vampire feeds on animal blood instead of human blood, they become weaker. The new life that vampires have after becoming one is called unlife. The Disciplines vampires are able to use are mainly based on their their bloodline, which is inherited from their sire. Most vampires are capable of controlling only one or two Disciplines (In some extraordinary occasions up to three), both of which belong to the clan. A vampire's body does not produce body heat. A common struggle among newly sired vampires is missing having contact with the heat of another body, since their own is now eerily cold, and their heart has stopped beating.

A Sheriff may appoint Hounds to assist him (or the Prince may appoint them, in the interests of curtailing a Sheriff’s overt power).

    Keys: diablerie, cannibal, betray
