Unwritten\Vampire common traits

From Create Your Own Story

Vampires' common traits :

>1.APPEARANCE : Pale skinned (it's quite impossible for them to get a suntan) , there's Always a reddish glow in a vampire's eye(tho it can be barely perceptible).

>2.PHYSICAL ABILITIES/SENSES : They're About as strong as your average gorilla, as fast and stealthy as a jaguar.

Their sense of smell is far better than a human's so they may show aversion to objects with a strong smell, have no particular weakness against garlic etc tho. Same goes for crucifixes etc. They don't have a strong enough nose to track someone down like a dog might(they have a Very keen nose for blood tho).

A vampires sight is sharper than a human's but can't compare to most predatory birds. Well-developped nightvision, but they can't see in total darkness. They can see in moonlight the way a human could in daylight.

>3.NOURISHMENT : Cannot survive without regular consumption of living blood (+/-weekly). Liable to go into a blood frenzy and kill their victim, older vampires generally learn some self control tho.

They prefer human blood, but can feed off animal blood (kind of like living on just bread & water for a lifetime)

A Vampire's hunger for blood is too much for any single human to satisfy on the long run. Vampires are able to enter a state of hibernation in which they can survive for over a century if necessary.

They have a hunting instinct that will compel them to hunt down frightened/fleeing prey. They also have the tendency to play with their prey like a cat with mice.

>4.ENVIRONMENT : They DO have shadows and they DO appear in the mirror. They DON'T have a pulse, nor do they breathe. They can consume normal food but it tastes like shit and they will only end up vomiting it back out later.

Sunlight will greatly annoy them - Their eyes are too light-perceptive, Their skin has little resistance to suburns, they are unable to sweat and can't handle the heat... They will however, not go up in smoke nor catch fire.

They are vulnerable to fire and tend to avoid it, but won't die instantly from being hit with a torch or anything.

Artificial lighting is a pain when it's bright, but nowhere near as bad as sunlight.

Rain/water/cold have no effect, they could perfectly walk around naked at -50°C without suffering any ill effects.

>5.Heritage : Vampires are less "undead" than mutated/infected humans.
