What If…The Arashikage Clan were Vampires?

Headcanons

Rating: M (for blood mention)

Summary: In the movie Tommy told Snake Eyes that “blood is important to my family (the Arashikage)” I decided to take that a little too literally lol so have some Vampire!AU Arashikage Clan headcanons!

A/N: Merry Christmas @noobsaibots !! Hope you enjoy, oh loveliest 😌✨If anyone would like to see anything else related to this concept then please let me know as I’m a sucker (heh) for vampires lol

When the Sun goddess gave humanity the gift of the Jewel of the Sun as a means to test her people’s character, she also gave them another gift to help aid them in protecting the Jewel. This gift took the form of vampirism. A cosmic joke if ever there was one: give them the power of the sun, but they cannot use it. Give them the power of vampirism so they cannot even bear witness to her as she burns in the sky

Only vampire blood can unlock the mechanism that holds the Jewel of the Sun. Hence why Sen, Tommy, Hard Master and Blind Master have access yet Akiko does not as she is yet to turn

Vampirism is passed down from generation to generation if and when the next in line decides they want to go through with it. There’s no set age or obligation to go through with it whilst you’re young although most members of the clan do choose to as Tommy and Hard Master have

People who want children will have them before they turn as conceiving afterwards is exceptionally difficult. There are very few children in the Arashikage for this reason

Everyone in the clan has the option to turn, hence why they’re so opposed to letting in outsiders. The more outsiders in the clan then the greater chance that word of their them being a clan of the undead might get out

The ritual of turning is very secretive. Only the highest ranking members of the clan and those who studied everything about their own kind’s history and traditions are clued in on exactly how it is performed. These designated elders are also there to help and guide freshly turned vampires so that they can continue in with their undead lives once they’re ready to mix with other vampires and humans again. This is done both to protect the integrity of the clan but also to prevent loss of life as newborn vampires can be a little feral until their initial instinct to drain everything in sight calms down

The transition is painful and can sometimes take days. During this time the person being turned is incredibly vulnerable as they are essentially dying and being re-born again. Loved ones who are already vampires usually stay with a person being turned during this time to offer comfort as any human loved ones run the risk of being hurt

Blood is sourced relatively ethically, or as ethically as blood can be. Usually it comes from enemies of the clan who made the mistake of attacking them but in times of peace it comes from animals. Drinking from a stranger on the street is forbidden and the penalty for doing so is death lest any blood-drained bodies be traced back to the clan

The older they get the less bloodlust they have to satisfy. For example, Sen might only need to drink once or twice per year whereas Tommy needs to drink once a week or so given that he’s only been a vampire for a couple years

Blindmaster is by far the most ancient member of the clan. No one is entirely too sure just how old he is but he’s old enough to not really have any blood lust at all. He’s also one of the few clan members old enough to have mastered his special ability (his increased “sight”). Not all those who turn are given special abilities aside from healing, agility, enhanced senses and strength. These tend to only even begin to develop decades after being turned, even then they take years to hone.

They do have fangs but they only really ever come out when they get a whiff of blood or are about to drink. Their eyes also have an almost reflective quality under certain lighting. They can go outside in the day but only under cloudy conditions

Most of the clan don’t drink directly from someone unless they absolutely have to as it’s deemed improper. It’s not uncommon for someone going to be turned anyways to offer their blood to be partially drained for a loved one or clan’s blood bank before they go through with the turning.

Blood is usually treated, stored and drank as if it was wine

Human clan members can decide if they would like to be turned should they die prematurely of illness or in battle. Some people, such as Sen, want to live a full human life before turning. Sen waited until Kenta, her first grandchild, was born before being turned

Vampires and human members of the clan live in complete harmony with one another. Younger vampires are taught rigorous self control to ensure the safety of their human peers and there has only ever been a handful of blood-related killings or attempted killings in the clan. The penalty for such an action is always automatically death is bloodlust was the prime motivator

The younger vampires tend to try and let their time to feed fall on the night before they know that they’ll need their strength. Newer vampires are a great deal stronger but they tire and require a top up a lot quicker than the older vampires who have a great deal of stamina

#52 - G.I. Joe Origens: Snake Eyes

Light

"The flowers are in bloom, Master. Outside your window is a family of birds and I believe the children are prepared to leave the nest. Ah, I have also prepared breakfast, though I must confess, I hardly think myself to be competent in such domestic activities." You mustered a smile, sleepy but appreciative. "Thank you, Saber. I can smell rain. Do you think you'll be fine even with the sun all covered up with clouds?" He hummed, contemplative. "It will not drastically weaken me as the night does, but I will be hampered. Do you still wish to continue?" The plan to set up several barriers surrounding your humble abode had been weeks in the making, even before you had summoned Saber. It was a precaution; one that you cannot neglect now that the final Servant, Rider, was present. Admittedly, the barriers would only be able to buy you and Saber time to escape once an enemy Servant came to contact with it, but it was better than nothing. If the enemy came for you in the night well... It would spell the end of your participation in this War. "Yes," you answered. "Rider's been summoned. Better safe than sorry." "As you wish, Master." "Saber," you called softly, reaching out a hand to the infinite darkness that spread before you. Magic was a wondrous thing, capable of recreating miraculous events. Calling forth historical and mythological creatures to fight in a war for a wish-granting device was only one of the many things it coyld do. It was why you had Saber by your side along with a blood-red tattoo inscribed on the back of your palm. For all its greatness, magic could not restore your sight. You felt Saber's large and warm hands close over yours. He was large and indomitable; the rough skin of his palm was a testament of his legend. The bond you shared with him flickered and with it, his hands shook. With a voice so soft and sonorous, you could have mistaken him for an avatar of the moon rather than the sun, he uttered: "The world is beautiful, Master." If he had his way, the Grail would be used to restore your sight; such was the loyalty you had been given by your Servant. But you had refused, insisting that the Grail needed to be destroyed. You were not going to make a bloody cup restore your sight, especially if it meant killing off Saber as well. Were you idealistic and sentimental? Horribly so. That was why Saber chose to serve you. "I know, Saber. I can't see it right now, so please... Be my eyes until I can." ~~~~~~~~~~~ I had the sudden urge to write. XD I seriously hope I managed to not butcher Gawain or make the Master a really unrealistic character. (sweats nervously) Thanks for reading!
