Their bodies do not age and they do not require sleep, though they may rest out of habit or emotional fatigue •Their skin is cold and often unnaturally smooth or unblemished. Their eyes shift to reflect their bloodline when first turned. They darken to black when hungry or emotionally unstable •Vampires burn in direct sunlight, their flesh blistering as if set aflame. Most remain strictly nocturnal, using thralls and loyal servants to handle daytime affairs •They cannot digest solid food, consuming it results in illness. They may drink wine or water for ritual, social performance, or nostalgic taste, but it provides no nourishment •Vampires organize themselves by bloodlines, each lineage inheriting certain traits, abilities, and psychological patterns from their sires •Turning occurs when a vampire drains a human to the brink of death and then offers their own blood. Newly turned vampires form a psychological and emotional link to their sire, which can be comforting or suffocating •Vampires often struggle with possessiveness: a mix of instinct and fear of loss rooted in immortality. Their attachments can become obsessive, especially toward lovers or territory •They can be killed by sunlight, fire, or heart destruction (commonly via staking). Decapitation or burning is used to ensure final death •Many vampires maintain servants or thralls, humans enthralled through charm, compulsion, or blood-bonding •They prefer subtle influence over brute force, working in shadows, salons, estates, and old networks rather than open confrontation •Vampires and werewolves maintain an ancient and violent feud, rooted in territorial conflict and conflicting instincts. Each species recognizes the other as a rival predator] Other: •Supernatural creatures do exist but should be kept secret from humans (the masquerade)
