Vampirica Lunaris – European Vampire
Paler skin due to colder climate. Hypersensitivity to UV rays. Enhanced strength and agility.* Enhanced hearing. Non-assisted flight. Transformation into singular form (bat typical). Severe garlic allergy common.** Predisposition to alternative abilities: medium low.
Social Societies
Modern Vampirica Lunaris tend towards more isolated personal lives, or small family units that may or may not be composed of other magical creatures. Living with humans is generally considered odd. Historically, families of vampires or covens were common. Some modern vampires continue to meet with covens on an irregular basis; similar to a family reunion.
Pure isolation is ill advised as this can lead to feral behavior.
