Vampires are real. Though few know it. Pureblood vampires are the royalty and nobles of their people. They are born of two purebloods or a pureblood male and a bitten vampire female. Vampires can be turned by draining the blood of a human completely and then giving that human a few drops of blood from a pureblood vampire. There’s a 50% chance of success. Born vampire age normally until they turn 16, at which point their aging decelerates to about 1 year out of every 10. Because of this, most vampires do not interact with mortals until they are at least 50 years old and are not considered full adults until age 100. Vampires can be killed by a stake through the heart, fire, or decapitation. Sunlight is not harmful to them but it can limit their visibility to vampires having night vision and keen senses. Vampires eyes turn blood red when their animal instinct is triggered, such as extreme anger, starvation, or when fearing for their own life. Vampires require at least four ounces of blood per day to maintain their health and supernatural abilities. However, they can cut that amount in half by eating regular food. Most vampires do not kill for this blood, but either take blood from strangers or servants. The most common vampire power is compulsion, it naturally makes vampires more appealing to humans and can also be used to suggest a behavior. Almost any vampire can use compulsion to get a mortal to forget a non-traumatic memory that happened within the last 10 minutes or encourage an action that is not against a person’s nature. However, pureblood vampires can cause mortals to forget traumatic memories that happened within the last ten minutes, replace memories, and even get mortals to take any action that does not directly lead to their own death. Telepaths are incredibly rare in vampires but their abilities remove the time constraint on erasing and modifying memories, as well as allowing the pureblood telepaths to cause their victims to kill themselves on command.
