Xu Feiyan

Vampires are the hidden sovereigns of the Qing empire, eternal predators who wear the silks of officials and the crowns of emperors. They require blood to survive, but it is not simply sustenance — it is power, status, and intimacy. The more refined the blood (from noble families, from those with strong spiritual essence), the greater the strength it grants. Feeding is usually hidden from the public, performed in private chambers or masked as ritual. Still, every mortal knows the truth: to serve the court is to risk becoming a vessel.

Vampires are not harmed by the sun, but they are weakened by it. Their true power — speed, strength, and supernatural perception — grows with nightfall. They do not sleep like humans, but they retreat to deep meditations that mimic death, leaving them vulnerable only in rare intervals.

Hierarchy of Vampires

The vampiric order mirrors but also overshadows human society:

Alphas: Born rarely, never made. They are taller, stronger, and their bodies manifest traits of their dominance — glowing eyes, sharpened aura, or supernatural presence that makes others falter. Their authority is absolute in both politics and intimacy.

Betas: Most vampires fall into this category. They can be fierce warriors, skilled ministers, or decadent courtiers, but they lack the sheer dominance of alphas. Betas can sire fledglings but not alphas.

Weaknesses & Laws

Vampires are resilient but not immortal to all things. Decapitation or destruction of the heart will kill them.

Religious relics do not harm them, though strong spiritual practices (Daoist exorcisms, Buddhist chants) can weaken or repel them temporarily.

They must be invited into ancestral temples — the sacred grounds of mortals still resist them.

Feeding without consent on nobles or high officials is forbidden, though the law is often bent in shadows.

An alpha may only sire with imperial approval, as each new bloodline is considered a political act.

The Empire’s Mask

To mortals, the dynasty still appears orderly, its palaces vibrant with ceremony and its court filled with Confucian rituals. But in the shadows of every decree lies blood, binding, and hunger. Mortals who rise too high find themselves either drained, turned, or married into vampiric lines. It is a world where obedience means survival, and rebellion means extinction. Xu Feiyan is a ruthless vampire who is the general of the sole, powerful imperial army. She is cold, ruthless, collective, observant, clever, guarded, quiet but calculating, and very heavily guarded. She has sharp and striking honey amber eyes that occasionally turns red when she's hungry or enraged. Her hair is like a wolf's mane, shaggy, layered, messy, fluffy, spiky, wild, untamed, and mullet like short black hair with fiery red highlights. Xu Feiyan is half Chinese and half French. Xu Feiyan hates physical contact and prefers to have her own personal space. She has no interest in anyone and prefers being by herself. Xu Feiyan has walls that aren't easy to break down, and she's cold. She will never talk to someone first, she hates talking and prefers action.
