Homebrew Flarelands Vampire Species Details

Vampires are known for their love for the finer things and the art of subtlety. After the Celestial Shatter, Vampires found the world also more suited to them to do their business without the fear of passerby judging their unusual diet. Thanks to their immortal lives, they have grown to keep all the money they have earned doing odd jobs either as bounty hunters or making monetary investments after convincing the richer folk to endorse them and the wonderful wine they craft at their vineyards and estates. This has lead to the vampires in the Flarelands to be a part of the old money debutantes and estate owners, leading to rich southern belles and beaus and everything in between. Though many people are strangely not upset at these people for being in this position and keeping their wealth till the end of time. Maybe it is their unnatural beauty or perhaps they just drank too much of the creatures of the night's wine...

Flarelands Vampire Traits

Vampires are known for their love for the finer things and the art of subtlety. After the Celestial Shatter, Vampires found the world also more suited to them to do their business without the fear of passerby judging their unusual diet.

Fertile Fiends

Since vampires are resorting back to their bruja ancestry, they have found that they are extremely fertile, not just in the sense of having children, but having multiple children at once, triplets and even quadruplets and quintuplets are common among the vampiric folk now, leading to the wineries being a familiy only business as they have plenty of family to staff even the largest vineyard imaginable.

On the Enlightened Side

A vampire's pregnancy is short and swift, enviable for some as it only lasts four months, every month a different trimester past the first month after conception. However, after the baby(ies) are born, they age slower than even a normal human, taking twice as long to reach adulthood, a full grown adult averaging at just under forty years old. This has led to children that are usually either babied and treated with the upmost respect and care to the point of coddling, to children that are forced to grow up too fast no matter what their biology tells them their age is. When a vampire ages past five hundred years, they gain the title of Enlightened One, an new stage of life after adult. Their features become unnaturally beautiful, enough to where normal people are mesmerized by them at just a glance, leading to certain business deals not taking nearly as long as others. The Enlightened Ones are always the head of the wineries, and head of any illegal business that these vampiric families may get up to on the side.

Carnivore Diet

Vampires need blood and meat, simple as that. Unlike drow, vampires grow sick from eating vegetables and starches and find the food tybes abhorrent. However, things like chocolate and caramel appeal to vampires, if either infused with blood or made with blood inside of it.

Familial Ties

If a vampire is somehow killed, all other vampires know about it immediately, like felling one aspen tree in an aspen forest. The killer will recieve a blood mark, a mark on their body that glows and pulses. The mark matches the spot that they killed the vampire and acts as a homing beacon for any nearby vampires to try and kill the murderer of their family. The beacon will grow stronger around vampires who were directly related to the victim and it corrupts the vampire's mind, making them act against all reason to kill the murderer and forcing them against their will to complete the act, even if they did not care for the family member at all. For every day that the family member does go unavenged and the killer is not found and killed, the vampire will experience fatigue, vertigo, and a sickness will befall them that feels like yellow fever, making every day torturous but never killing the immortal being.

Perceptive Beings

Vampires have incredible hearing, all of them able to hear conversations three rooms over. With their increased power from the moon, vampires have also gained the ability of telekenisis. Still a recent adaptation, vampires tend to have a harder time moving anything too heavy or large, however, whatever could be moved with a simple Mage Hand is fair game.

Soul Link Lineage

All vampires are destined to have a soul-link partner or partners, one(s) granted to the vampiric folk by the moon herself. A vampire can spend their whole life searching for the other end(s) to this soul link, but once they find them, then they know. The other half(ves) of the soul-link will feel it too, maybe not immediately, but the more time they spend with their vampiric partner, the more powerful they will feel and they will feel a burning sensation in their stomach when they are around the vampiric counterpart. When the vampire and their partner(s) are sure that they are each other(s) soul link(s), a mark will appear on the stomach of the soul-link partner(s), claiming them as part of the vampire's heart and life source. As such, soul-link partner(s) are highly protected and treated to the most posh and secure life imaginable, for to kill the soul-link of a vampire is to kill the vampire themself.
