EotR's Unique Vampire Species

[/u][/i]: European vampires are incredibly fast and move in a blur.

Supernatural Strength: European Vampires are stronger than most species of vampires but it also depends on their age, as they get stronger as they grow older.

Supernatural Agility: European Vampires possess super-human agility. They have shown that they can move quickly, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Vampires can jump with their super speed too.

Supernatural Senses: European Vampires have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste that far exceed those of humans. They can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far of buildings and on phones, though most vampires typically learn how to tune out most ambient noises when it's not necessary to hear them. European Vampires can also smell blood from several meters away, and see in total darkness. These senses improve and grow stronger with age and experience as well. Their senses of taste are also enhanced, allowing them to detect the presence of drugs, alcohol, or even what the person ate in someone's blood.

Regeneration: European Vampires recover tissue from any form of physical damage to their bodies within seconds, though they still feel the pain of a wound before it heals. They can snap their bones back into place after they have been broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement very quickly, so long as they had consumed a regular diet of human blood prior to the injury.

Healing Blood: European Vampires are able to heal humans by feeding them their blood, it will not turn them. The only way for them to turn is if they die while having the vampire blood in their system. If a drinks fresh blood from a vampire, a psychic and emotional bond is created. The vampire will be able to sense the location and emotions of the human.

Progeny Link: The one who made a vampire has a special link to those they create and can sense any pain or duress the progeny undergoes, and know when a progeny has died. The maker can "call" their progeny by saying their name out loud, causing the progeny to become aware their maker is calling out for them. The progeny experiences a shiver, and may be able to tell where their maker is. Lastly a maker can force their progeny to do anything they want, as long as they make what they say a direct order.

Immortality: They have the potential to live forever without aging.

Enhanced Emotions: European Vampires experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for vampires, allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows vampires to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age.

Emotional Control: European Vampires have the supernatural ability to remove or dull their emotions by "turning off" or "switching off" their humanity, which is directly connected to their emotions. Doing so allows them to block out their more negative emotions, such as fear and guilt, allowing them to feed and kill without remorse, go against any opponent without fear, and relieve themselves of painful feelings such as grief, loss, depression, and shame. A vampire without their emotions is far more calculating and direct than one who keeps them on. However, the vampire can become a remorseless killer, and are almost unrecognizable from the person they truly are, as blocking out negative emotions also causes their positive emotions to become dulled or nonexistent as well. Vampires are capable of turning their humanity back on and bringing back their emotions, but it is difficult as a result of the fact that they will be bombarded with all of their repressed emotions in addition to the guilt of anything they did without their humanity (such as killing or torturing innocent people or loved ones) with enhanced intensity.

Mind Compulsion: European Vampires have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories by eye contact. They are not able to compel other vampires or any other kind of creature.

Vulnerabilities -

[/u][/i]: Animal blood, while somewhat satisfying a European Vampire's hunger and sustaining their undead life, will make the vampire considerably weaker than they would be if they had drank human blood, causing their physical abilities to be inferior to a human-blood-consuming vampire, making them heal much more slowly, and making their compulsion less effective.

Excess Blood: If a European Vampire drinks too much blood, they will display alcohol intoxication-like qualities (such as euphoria, confusion, stupor, etc). However the amount of blood needed for this to happen becomes larger the older the vampire is.

Hunger: A European Vampire has a strong blood lust that they have to fight to control; most cannot.

Broken Neck: Breaking a vampire's neck will not kill them, but it will render them in a death like state for varying amounts of time, depending on the diet and age of the person in question.

Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a European Vampire will result in instant and permanent death.

Desiccation: European Vampires who abstain from blood for extended amounts of time will eventually desiccate and mummify.

Heart Extraction: Removing the heart of a vampire will result in permanent death. Vampires have the strength to plunge their hands right through the flesh of humans, allowing them to punch their hand through the thorax of a person and pull out their heart. If it is a vampire who has been subjected to this, then they will desiccate upon their death, causing their bodies to become a grey, dry husk with their vampiric veins exposed all over their body.

Sunlight: Sunlight and UV rays burn vampires on contact, and prolonged exposure will cause them to burst into flames and die. However, this weakness can be mitigated by the use of a piece of jewelry enchanted with a specific protection spell by a witch for a particular vampire, though it requires the vampire to wear the jewelry at all times.

Vampire Bloodline: If the alpha or one of the vampires the alpha himself turned dies, then any vampire they turned and the generations after will die as well.

Wood: Wounding a European Vampire with a wooden weapon such as wooden bullets will incapacitate them, and it will take longer for them to heal their injuries than if the wounds were caused by any other substance. Stabbing a vampire through the heart with a wooden stake will result in instantaneous and permanent death. It's possible for a vampire to build up a resistance to the effects of wood, but it's not possible for them to be fully immune.

Silver: Any contact with silver will burn the skin of the European Vampire it touches.

History - N/A

Positions - The following are important characters to the species, the alpha and his progeny. If they are open then you are welcomed to talk to me about taking them. I've provided three play-bys for the characters that can be chosen from. If you have a different one in mind, talk to me and I may be opened to it.


What you need to know - Known as Ambrogio originally, he is the alpha of the species and if he dies then all other European Vampires will die as well.




What you need to know - He was the first turned by Kyle and is now dead. He may be able to return, talk to me and who knows what we can come up with.




What you need to know - Spartacus is the second turned by Kyle and is based off of the real life Spartacus. He is currently desiccating underground and is nothing but a drained corpse, still alive but starving. He is a very noble man and a great warrior, he has a lot of good in his heart and it seems to be his biggest downfall.

Excerpts from the Alpha's app:

It was at Senerchia on the right bank of the river Sale, that Ambrogio would be present at the final showdown between Spartacus and his army against the Romans. Ambrogio fought Spartacus and was surprised at how strong the warrior was, and learned that he had some kind of magically enchanted armor and weaponry that aided him in battle. Spartacus' strength and views on slavery, and how he was fighting for his people somehow managed to get Ambrogio to switch his humanity back on after hundreds of years he turned it back on... But he had already defeated Spartacus and so Ambrogio turned him, giving him his blood and killing him. The two would then vanish, and Spartacus' body was never found and believed to be dead.

In the year 71, Ambrogio and his progeny Spartacus both survived one of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in European history. Mount Vesuvius spewed a deadly cloud of volcanic gas, stones, and ash to a height of 33 kilometres (21 mi), ejecting molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy of the Hiroshima bombing. Thousands died, but the two vampires escaped unharmed. For hundreds and hundreds of years the two vampires would just survive together. Nothing notable taking place until the year 1446, when Ambrogio sent his progeny off to invite vampire alphas of different races to France for a meeting.

---

Later on in 1895, he traveled to Britain, to visit Spartacus who he had kept in contact off and on for years and received a letter that he needed to see him. Once he arrived, he found out that Spartacus had stopped eating and was desiccating. He asked Kyle to bury him, telling him that he resents him for what he turned him into. Kyle's heart ached and did his best not to shed a tear, which was hard as Spartacus was like a son to him, his eldest. He tried to apologize but Spartacus just smiled and asked to give him this. Kyle asked why he wanted to suffer and not die, and Spartacus replied that he had to suffer and pay for the things he had done. Kyle granted his wishes.

What you need to know - Bianca is the third turned by Kyle and is based off of the real Bianca Maria Sforza. I would like her to be either more chatoic neutral or evil in some way; talk to me about ideas and we can figure something out.

Excerpts from the Alpha's app:

In 1510 he met the wife of the Roman Emperor. Using his very alluring and persuasive ways, he had the woman almost eating out of his hands, hanging onto every word he said and desiring him greatly. Ambrogio had only planned to use her to find out more about the Roman Empire and their plans but upon learning about how her husband was to her, even having her have her own court where he would never go see her. He could see how much pain Bianca was in, and so out of pity and sympathy, he offered her a better life. He gave her the option of fleeing and living in the night as a strong being that no man or woman could ever hurt. After seeing what he was, she was afraid at first, but in the end she chose to die and become a vampire like Ambrogio. He turned her and made her guards believe she was dead. He husband never bothered even giving her a tombstone or attend the funeral, and the two ran off. They stayed together for a while, until eventually Bianca took off in 1519, after turning her emotions off for reasons Ambrogio never knew. She went to Wels, in Upper Austria where she found her late husband and slaughtered him.

What you need to know - Theodosia is the fourth turned by Kyle and is based off of the real Theodosia Burr Alston.

Excerpts from the Alpha's app:

He lived his life passing through towns and on one journey in 1812 he decided he would use a ship to get to New York quicker from South Carolina. He hid aboard of The Patriot and sailed off from Georgetown. The ship was attacked by pirates. He met a girl named Theodosia Burr Alston, 29 years old, and she begged him to turn her so she could escape the pain of death and so he did. She was thought to be lost at sea, no one ever knowing what happened to her or The Patriot. The two of them would go off together to California during the Gold Rush of 1848. The two vampires would meet a couple Nekomata, and a human woman named Elvira. Little did they know, that Kyle had purposely went to find Elvira, as she was a descendant to his royal psychic bloodline and he enjoyed seeing the lives they made for themselves. However, the girl was taken by The Watchers, which Kyle had known quite a bit about due to how long they had been taking people for. He explained to Felix, the cousin to Leon who was so angry and hurt after losing his love, that they took an entire village in France in the 1200's. With no way known how to save the people taken, Kyle and Theodosia tried to find more out about the creatures before the nekomata vanished, and Kyle never heard from them again. Eventually Kyle and Theodosia split ways before he fought in the civil war in 1861.

What you need to know - Edwin is the fifth one turned by Kyle. He was the first lieutenant in the Louisiana Infantry before being turned. He isn't a good guy, he is a monster and loves feeding on people and doing whatever the hell he wants.

Excerpts from the Alpha's app:

Kyle went on to fight in the Civil War in 1861, wanting to right the wrongs he did back in Italy many years ago when he fought to keep slavery. This time, fighting as a Union soldier he fought a number of battles before ending up in a small cabin in Louisiana. It was abandoned and he was hiding there to regain his energy, not as strong as usual since he wouldn't drink human blood. A man named Edwin Williams had the same idea as him though, and Kyle hid as the man went into the cabin to try and recover. Edwin was the First Lieutenant in the 28th Louisiana Infantry, and had gotten lost. He was hurt, and didn't have long to live. Resisting the urge to drain the soldier dry, Kyle approached him... At first Edwin shot at the vampire, but of course it did nothing to him. When he asked what he was, Kyle explained and as he talked to the man and saw he didn't exactly agree with slavery and didn't want to fight in the war, that his 3 children had died from the pox and his wife took her own life. He continued to explain that he was hoping he would die in the war, but now he decided he didn't want to die and Kyle offered to turn him. Edwin accepted, and he became the second to last vampire Kyle would make.

What you need to know - Lucas is the sixth turned by Kyle the night the RMS Titanic sunk. He is a famous mainstream musician, the lead singer for the band Pure Red.

Alpha Spot - Taken[/blockquote][/div]

[/u][/i]: Like all Vampires, the Filipino Vampire does not age

Invulnerability: This kind of vampires skin is thick and leathery, able to take significant damage from normal weapons.

Supernatural Senses: The Filipino vampire possesses sharp senses and especially good night vision

Supernatural Strength: They have the strength to lift grown men up off the ground whilst in flight.

Flight: Through assuming their creature form and rooting their lower body to the ground, the Filipino Vampire can produce large bat-like wings from it’s shoulders and fly through the air.

Claws: When assuming their monster form, Filipino Vampires have long, curved talons protruding from their fingertips. They can also summon these in their human form.

Sound Displacement: The closer a Filipino Vampire is, the farther away its screeches and beating of its wings sound so to lure its victims into a sense of false security.

Body Detachment: This type of vampire can detach their upper body from their lower body by rooting itself into the ground.

Shapeshifting: By rooting their lower body into the ground and detaching their upper half, the Filipino Vampire can assume a bat-like form with wings and a long, hollow tongue to drain their victims.
[/ul]


Vulnerabilities -

[/u][/i]: True to the typical vampire lore, Garlic can repel a vampire and by using it, could even block out their senses, so they can’t track a victim well. Garlic also burns them on contact.

Ashes: By burning their victim’s bodies, their ashes could be used as toxin against the vampire. As when they use their tongues to feed on a victim, they leave saliva on the corpse and when the saliva meets fire, it creates something that could poison the vampire in a similar fashion that an American Vampire can be poisoned by dead man’s blood.

Sunlight: If exposed to sunlight in their true form, the Filipino Vampire will die and rather than fall to ash like your usual vampire; their flesh will boil and burn away. One way to ensure this happens is to prevent them from reattaching to their lower body by burning the stump on top and sprinkling garlic or ashes over the top so they can’t return to their human form.[/ul]

[/u][/i]: Tiyanak’s can potentially live forever.

Superhuman Speed: Tiyanak’s are incredibly fast, scurrying along on all fours at blinding speeds

Natural Weapons: Tiyanak’s possess razor sharp fangs and claws that they can use to climb up walls, on ceilings, and attack. They tend to use these to strike at major arteries.

Cry Lure: Those who hear a Tiyanak’s baby-like cry will fall into something of a trance where they will become fully focused on finding its source,even if they don’t think about it. This trance can be broken if someone see’s the Tiyanak’s face before it intends to be seen, or blocking out the noise.

Sound Displacement: Tiyanak, much like their mother species, are able to manipulate the sound of them crying and throw predators off. They usually use this ability while crawling away quickly, in order to confuse the enemy and think they are elsewhere.
[/ul]


Vulnerabilities -

[/u][/i]: Tiyanak’s are very easy to kill with any weapon, assuming one can catch it and not be caught off guard

Hunger: Tiyanak’s can die from lack of blood.

Mothers: Tiyanak’s have a certain link to the Filipino Vampire that they were “birthed” from where the Vampires are able to calm them down though interacting with them. They usually find their way back to them during the daylight hours for safety and are only calm when their mothers are near them, usually sleeping.

Ash: When using the ash of a Filipino Vampire’s victims against a Tiyanak will cause a reaction similar to Dead Man’s Blood in American Vampires, usually causing them to flee. It is especially effective if using the ashes of their “mothers” victims, this causing them to have a severe reaction that paralyzes them.

Garlic: Like the Filipino Vampires, Tiyanak’s are repelled by Garlic - mainly the smell.

Sunlight: Tiyanak’s will die in sunlight, so they will desperately panic and try to hide from it.[/ul]
