....I think I have it, or at least part of it.
My vamps *are* dead, but not demonically. They're more unfinished business types, like ghosts. Still working out how they get their powers, I *think* in their setting there might be multiple types of undeath and whether/what powers you get depends partially on the circumstances of death and partially on what business is anchoring you here??
Eiro is a youngster relatively I think, still getting used to supernatural society + how his powers work. He would have a much older mentor, I don't know much about that one yet except a mental image of a face and the idea that he may live in/haunt a local cathedral belltower...
