Homebrew Pureblood Vampire Species Details

Pureblood vampires are ancient race from a bygone era when vampires controlled the world and mortals lived in fear now Pureblood Vampires are almost impossible to find because they were hunted to extinction during "The Cleansing". All vampire hail from the ancient land of Transylvania a separate realm that merges with the mortal world when night falls most vampires can only travel to the mortal world during the night, but purebloods can travel between the two realms at will.

Sinister Allure

---

Pureblood vampires are extremely attractive creatures and look almost exactly like a human when disguised but when revealed as a vampire they appear to have even paler, white, or even light grey, skin the irises of their eyes are red, their ears come to a small point, and their fangs extend to their full length. Purebloods often dress in black and red clothing that will cover most of their bodies such as cloaks and robes, some enjoy to wear a cape over their shoulders. Most of them are not as frail as their counterparts until they have been depraved of blood for several days if they have they will descend into a state of madness the longer they are starved. After about 2 weeks without blood they become sickly monsters and there skin darkens to a dark grey appearing more similar to normal vampires except more primitive. These vampires usually have white, grey, black, or blonde hair, but can rarely have brown hair, and possess longer sharper nails. Purebloods are usually tall in between 5 ft. 10 in. at the shortest and at the tallest they get 6 ft. 8 in. they average at about 6 ft. 2 in. for females, or 6 ft. 5in. for males, and usually weigh in at anywhere between 98 lbs. and 210 lbs.

Unending Hunger

---

Subject to an endless hunger for blood, money, power, vengeance, glory, chaos, or love pureblood vampires are never satisfied no matter what they try and will always be lusting for more, they an insatiable need for more than they have that can never be quenched. This means that they will never stay in one place, and rarely stay with one group of people, and even if so it's more likely they're greed will outweigh they're friendship eventually causing turmoil, and betrayal. Purebloods always feel like they don't belong or are hated which is partly true. Many pureblood vampires are very wealthy and live a life of luxury which can make them hesitant to stay in poorer or dirtier areas. Leaning towards evil alignments pureblood vampires are malevolent creatures, and won't let go of a grudge quickly as they will remember it for centuries to come. As the purebloods follow a strict code they often lean towards the lawful side of the alignment spectrum.

The pureblood vampires worship their ancestors, their pure bloodline, the all-powerful Dracula said to be the first vampire the legends say that Dracula was born of a devil and a dragon. The Vampiric Code is a set of rules made by the earliest vampires for the pureblood vampires of the Pureblood faith to follow, and it includes rules prohibiting the drinking of celestial blood, entering a non vampire dwelling without permission, the drinking of virgin blood, killing other pureblood vampires, eating mortal food, drinking health potions, and many more that if broken will strip you of your powers. Purebloods are lead by a count, and this title grants them telepathic influence over lesser vampires.

Pure of Blood

---

The pureblood vampires view themselves superior to most mortal races and even regular vampires and as dictated by the Vampiric Code no pureblood vampire shall marry or have a child with any creature other than a pureblood vampire as not to taint the bloodline where they draw their power from, this has been a contributing factor to their dwindling numbers as pureblood vampires are only fertile during a full blood moon so it is very difficult for them to have children. Pureblood vampires are also all related so they are forced to marry cousins, siblings, and even parents all the time to maintain their powers. If one of the vampires were to break the code it is most likely that they would loose their powers and die of old age, disease, or other causes instantly, although no one know because no pureblood vampire has ever broken the code.
