DHAMPIR : a mortal that carries a paranormal creatureβs blood and genetics from birth. this being is the result of vampires and humans intermarrying. these individuals are blessed with superhuman strength, speed and agility. although, these paranormal traits will fail unless they claim an immortal path of vampirism or venandism. they age like humans, consume human food, and sleep like humans. dhampir that do not claim immortality are known as the unmarked.
VAMPIRE : an immortal being that sates their appetite with the blood of living creatures. characterized by elongated fangs, unearthly grace, cold skin, and eyes that glow as a predator's. they can turn all except venandi into their bloodline by releasing a venom from their fangs into their prey. thus venom can induce states of pain and pleasure, as well as permanently mark a turned vampire's skin upon entry to the blood stream.
VENANDI : an immortal being that has been cured of vampirism and finds their living in the natural world. characterized by unearthly grace, lukewarm to warm skin, and a higher susceptibility to human emotions. they will also carry a distinct mark on the dorsal side of their hand that will grow with the amount of vampires they defeat/overcome.
MAGUS : a venandi that demonstrates their prowess through the use of magick and natural gifts rather than weaponry and other art forms of assassination. an extremely rare breed of venandi.
MORTEM : the uncommon yet dark outcome of vampirism. mortems are vampires who voluntarily kill creatures and humans for their own pleasure. they let their lust guide their will and choose power over morality. these vampires are usually the ones being hunted by venandi. characterized by the same appearance as any other vampire but their eyes are a never ending blood red and their fangs are more prominent. their behavior is more animalistic and desperate since they die without consuming blood for more than 24 hours.
