Homebrew Aeris Vampire Species Details

Vampires: major undead creature. Each vampire acts of its own free will but due to the usual manner of how they transformed, are usually highly protective and obedient to their elder. Vampires when turned will obtain attributes that change their form or look to fit a creature of the night that resonates with their spirit. This however devours their soul making it impossible for that person to ever have an afterlife. This brings with it eternal life and powers. The shared powers are typical of vampires being able to cast charm, gaseous form, and the ability to return to their grave of slain. They also gain the power to control similar creatures to the type that they are attributed to. The only true way of destroying a vampire is by destroying their body, and before it regenerates; destroying their resting place. Vampires however she capable of moving and changing their resting place and the more powerful ones will have up to 3. If a vampire does not have a resting place, the damage to their bodies is permanent until they secure one. Vampires although not needing sustenance, gain a temporary boost in energy and power from drinking blood.

Aeris Vampire Traits

Power of Death

Bestial Life

As a vampire of Aeris grows over it's first few months, they will begin to show signs of change. This may be a painful process as they begin to have even their skeleton warp and change to fit that of a creature. You can either resemble wolves, bats, rats, owls, night beast, dread spider, and shadowfen. These dark creatures come with the benefits of resemblance, the ability to commune with and control them, as well as the ability to gain traits from them.

Power of Death

Death has always stopped the pursuit of all beings, except for the dead.  Vampires are the pinnacle of the undead except for the utmost powerful such as liches, but at times may even come to rival them. There are many flaws with the undead however, and many times those who sought the power become filled with dread upon learning of the many curses that it brings. 

Life Before Death

As vampires are dead, they must've lived before they turned. Were they human, elf, or even dwarf. Possibly they have forgotten who they were, or what they did.
