For clarification's sake, "vampires" will mainly be referred to as "vampyres" in this entry in order to emphasize that this applies to this specific species known as vampyres, not the beings categorizes as vampires as a whole. tw : This meta will be discussing sexual reproduction and pregnancy. As such, it may touch loosely (and briefly) upon the related topics of birth control, infertility, child loss from a detached, academic perspective.

It is possible for vampyres, as long as they maintain themselves enough to have consistent human bodily functions, to reproduce biologically and have children of their own. Reproduction is among the last of human functions to return to a vampyre as they feed and sustain themselves and is one of the first to go away when inadequately fed, and therefore, as consequence, reproduction amongst vampyres is typically only common amongst the aristocracy and others with the means to keep themselves able to sustain these functions. However, vampirism will not cure pre-existing fertility issues or sexual dysfunctions, and thus, these issues will persist even if one is well-fed and in otherwise ideal condition.

There are two types of vampyres that can be born through sexual reproduction. The first of these are the dhampir, or "halflings" as they are more casually called (or sometimes more derogatorily as "halfbloods"). These are vampyres born from unions between a vampyre parent and a non-vampyre parent; the latter of which is almost always a human, though unions with other compatible beings are not unheard of. Dhampir are the most common kind of born vampyres, yet somewhat less numerous than turned vampyres. The second type of born vampyres are the pureborn; these are vampyres born from two vampyre parents, an exceptionally rare occurrence that almost never happens outside of the aristocratic lines due to all of the effort required to maintain a healthy pregnancy (and suppression of such births amongst houses and clans lower in power).

𝐃𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐑 𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘

Dhampir are most commonly born from a vampyre father and a non-vampyre mother. As the mother is the one that carries the child to term, it does not matter if the father is able to maintain human functions after the child has already been conceived as a human mother has no such issues. A dhampir is no different from a human child while in its mother's womb, though the mother may experience spontaneous, abnormal periods of anemia (low red blood cell count) and/or polycythemia (high red blood cell concentrations) during various stages of fetal development. There is no true consistency in the manner of which these conditions may occur and no data on what causes these specific occurrences during a dhampiric pregnancy, but it is hypothesized that these occurrences may signal the amount of vampiric traits the dhampir may inherit as they grow into maturity. For example, if a mother experiences little or no changes in her blood production while pregnant, then usually this indicates that the child will be more human in quality; if she experiences several such changes, this indicates the child may be more vampiric.

The genetics of a dhampir are not evenly split between parents, as natural, human DNA is not perfectly 50/50 either. For dhampir, while their basic genetics will be functionally the same as what one might obtain from two human parents, their vampiric traits are not linked directly to genetic factors. As explained in the entry on the turning of vampyres, vampirism is both a biological and mystic condition. Vampiric traits among dhampirs vary broadly and unpredictably for the same reasons that it is hard to determine what abilities someone will gain from becoming a vampyre let alone if they will become one successfully at all.

Whereas a turned vampire will have their vitae replaced by their sire's, a born vampyre's vitae is generated, not replaced. And in this case, they have not only one parent's vampiric essence competing for "control", in a sense, but the human parent's vitae similarly vying for propagation. The dhampir will be born with their own vitae formed from a mix of the two, but not to any guaranteed proportional degree; as such, some dhampir may be so close to humans in nature that they have little to distinguish themselves from a human at all, while some may be equal in power (and consequently have similar needs) to a turned vampyre. Some may develop a need to drink blood, others can sustain themselves on human diets alone, and others may alternate between the two. Some may be immune to sunlight, some may have some resistance, and others may be fully vulnerable to it. Some may need to breathe to survive while some may not, and the latter may or may not choose to mimic human breathing as other vampyres do.

The large variance in dhampir traits has led this to be considered an unreliable form of reproduction for those seeking to bolster the numbers and power of their clans or lineages, though dhampirs of little power may still be found useful through servitude amongst the aristocracy. Still, some dhampirs are capable of inheriting unique abilities not commonly passed through a bloodline, and any who may develop such an ability upon the age of maturity (near puberty, typically) will often be sought after for aristocratic service. Dhampirs vary in their lifespans as well; all will age through childhood and young adulthood normally, but beyond that, some may stop aging entirely, some may age more slowly, and others may live a normal human lifespan.

While it is most common for dhampirs to be born from a vampyre father, it is also possible for them to be born to a vampyre mother. This is far, far more rare, however, as it is rather precarious for a vampyre to have to sustain herself through an entire pregnancy. (This will be explained further below when discussing pregnancy for vampyres.)

The perception of the dhampir varies amongst vampyres. To some clans and lineages, they are highly sought individuals, often trained to serve particular roles in a household or act as guardians. To others, they may see them as tainted beings and view them as a scourge. Attitudes vary greatly, but there remains a consistent bias in the aristocracy in particular towards joining bloodlines with dhampirs of any house or lineage, as it is believed that their progeny may further dilute a bloodline.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍

Pureborn vampyres are born from two vampyre parents. (A vampyre born from a vampyre and a dhampir will still be considered a dhampir themselves, no matter how much they take to vampirism later on.) They are a rare occurrence, and hardly (if ever) seen outside of the aristocratic clans and houses. The highest among the aristocracy, namely the ruling Kings, almost exclusively choose their heirs from amongst their own pureborn progeny for the sake of keeping the lineage as strong as possible rather than "tainting" it with further human dilution through turnings. Pureborn are unique in power and capabilities, often unrestrained from weaknesses that would plague other vampyres, and as such, they are treated with reverence in vampiric circles.

The uniqueness of the pureborn comes from the fact that they possess naturally what all vampires must chase for the rest of their undead lives: humanity. They are born bodily human; never touched by near-death through transition, with an innate power within them rather than power tethered to them through another's essence as is the case with turned vampires. Their power is entirely self-generated, and they do not have to feed on another's vitae to maintain it (though they do have to feed regularly, yet less often). This is because, when a pureborn is conceived and begins to develop, it creates embryonic stem cells for itself just as a human fetus would.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have the potential to develop into any type of cell to aid development of the fetus. The most important cells developed during this period, for the purpose of vampiric propagation, are hematopoietic stem cells. These stem cells are responsible for the creation of blood cells within the body. When an adult is turned into a vampire, in the process of the loss and replacement of their blood and vitae, the onset of vampirism also kills the adult hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Vitae is, to an unquantifiable extent, tied to the production of blood in the body, hence why vampyres must consistently replace their lost blood to stay alive as they can no longer regenerate their own blood and vitae.

Pureborn, however, being born with intact stem cells that will continue to replicate and never undergoing the turning process (which kills the stem cells) are able to generate their own blood and vitae. This is also true for dhampir, though it's less notable for them as they also have a human parent involved and gain less from their parent's vampiric essence; whereas a dhampir will only get a portion of that parent's essence in competition with their human parent's vitae, a pureborn will have the full impact of the essence of two vampyres and their lineage as there is no human vitae to compete with for propagation.

As mentioned, pureborn still need to feed on blood and vitae, albeit far less often than a turned vampyre. This is because, as full-blooded vampyres, they are still hardwired to need blood and vitae as sustenance. They can eat human food with no issue and sustain themselves for a while on it, but eventually they do need to start feeding once the reach the age of maturity and their vampiric traits begin to fully awaken. Until then, like with dhampirs, they may seem to have little distinction at all from human children.

Pureborn are highly sought after by aristocratic lines for the reasons aforementioned. Not only are they generally less vulnerable to certain weaknesses than turned vampires and require less to sustain themselves (and rarely, if ever, find themselves contesting with the inner Beast that plagues most of their kind due to this), but an heir possessing the power of two lineages would strengthen the house or clan exponentially. Pureborn tend to inherit rare and unique abilities impossible to find elsewhere, and their chances of inheriting such abilities are effectively doubled by nature of having two vampiric parents.

Those who are pureborn also tend to have more resistance to sunlight, even moreso than those who do keep themselves fed enough to walk freely during daylight hours. It's often said that they are immune to the sun entirely, but this isn't necessarily true; this is mainly because they require less to keep themselves healthy enough to withstand it. Pureborn also age normally up until around anywhere from age 25-55; this varies per individual, but eventually they stop aging altogether and will live the rest of their life in immortality as other vampyres would.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐕𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐘𝐑𝐄𝐒

It cannot be overstated how precarious pregnancy is for a vampyre regardless of whether their partner is a human, a vampyre, or another being altogether. As mentioned, reproductive functions are one of the first things to stop working when a vampyre starts to become under-fed. Since pregnancy naturally increases this threshold by a large amount, it becomes harder to maintain full bodily functions for a vampyre without amble access to a supply to feed on. Conversely, it's a common practice for vampyres who have conceived or fear possible conception without desiring to carry a pregnancy to term to simply not feed until the reproductive system shuts down, rendering any present zygote unviable as an abortive method. Under-feeding before or directly after sexual activity is also a common contraceptive tactic as it is easily manageable and is correctable before it has any impact on other functions. Birth control in general is indeed much more manageable for vampyres by the simple fact that the body of a vampyre is itself inhospitable to life on a general basis, only able to succeed in the creation of an entirely new life carried to full term by careful and intentional maintenance.

As mentioned when describing fluctuations in the blood of the human mother of a dhampir, similar fluctuations occur in a vampyre during pregnancy, particularly with a dhampir offspring. There is less variance for anemia and polycythemia when the offspring is a pureborn, but the mother of a pureborn will typically have one or the other throughout the entire pregnancy, and that will need to be contended with along with all of the other needs of the pregnancy. The vampyre must eat human food as well throughout to aid in the development of the fetus. The blood/vitae intake needed by a pregnant vampyre is almost doubled from what they would normally need to sustain full bodily functions as a human would; this is usually the most precarious part of the pregnancy, as those without resources and access to ample feedings may not be able to viably sustain such intake, or may endanger themselves by risking exposure while seeking such.

This is another reason why pureborn are more common amongst the aristocracy; the suppression of resources amongst lower ranked houses and lineages makes it harder for them to carry viable pregnancies, and this trouble is increased for individual vampyres with no connection to any houses and without such ties who would have to fully sustain themselves on their own.

A pregnant vampyre must also make sure not to consume RhD negative blood close in time to the birth if the fetus has a RhD positive blood type. Normally, after feeding, a vampyre's body will adapt the consumed blood to match their own blood type within the next day, but if giving birth before this conversion has finished, it may create antibodies in the mother's blood as it would if she already had an RhD negative blood type, and thus precautions should be taken. In this case, and with a mother who naturally has a RhD negative type carrying a fetus who is RhD positive, it should be treated with an antibody preparation the same as it would be in humans to prevent any possible future pregnancies from developing erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn).

Because they develop as human-bodied beings, pureborn (as dhampir are as well) are still vulnerable to all of the same issues that can occur in human fetuses and infants. Even if the mother takes proper care of herself and is well sustained during pregnancy, there is always a risk that something could still go wrong, as with any pregnancy, be it before or after the birth. This is also one of the few circumstances in which a vampyre can die of "natural" causes as the body of the mother, in turn, becomes somewhat reliant on the fetal stem cells passed to them through the placenta; for vampyres, this stimulates their own production of blood late into the pregnancy, which will gradually lessen the amount of feeding they must do to sustain the pregnancy, but it weakens their vitae in turn, leaving them vulnerable to bleeding out and possibly dying as a human might during unfortunate medical events such as hemorrhages, etc. that may occur during birth, if left without medical care. That in itself is another danger of vampiric pregnancy; the lack of access to medical care, particularly medical care familiar with the functions of a vampyre's body.

The natural dangers of vampyre pregnancies compounded with politically motivated interferences (poisonings, assassinations, forced abortions, and infanticide are unfortunately not uncommon methods for one house to stifle the power of another) have led to the survival rates and the number of pureborn in existence being extremely low. An entire century may pass with only a handful or less born around the world. Those who are fortunate enough to have multiple heirs born to them may see large generational gaps between their children due to all of the difficulties, and pureborn heirs are greatly protected in any case when they do survive infancy; if not for parental affection, then because they are extremely difficult to replace.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ— 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 —

The turning is a horrific and damnable process. Amongst vampyres, it is not something taken lightly or to be done without consideration, lest one wants to earn the ire of their fellow undead. It is a valuable tool for those high in the hierarchy of power to add to their ranks and strengthen their houses, but extremely discouraged amongst common vampyres and those of lower status. Even for the highborn, they must be careful about the creation of fledglings (turned individuals) as others might see it as an indication of the desire to climb in power and potentially take it as a challenge to their own positions.

Beyond the implications within the hierarchy, there are other reasons that the turning is typically a carefully calculated act. The failure rate is extremely high, with only approximately 1% of turnings being successful on average. Those who do not successfully turn will die, and even those who do turn are not guaranteed survival or to become anything more than mindless beasts unless they have the aid of their sire or prove strong enough to survive the early stages of their new un-life on their own. For those who turn humans recklessly and often, especially when they themselves are from less powerful vampiric bloodlines, they are likely to leave a trail of deaths in their wake, risking the exposure of vampyres as a whole; such behavior is not tolerated, and the dominant vampyres within a particular territory will certainly take notice and deal with such careless individuals.

Despite the risks involved, it is a notable statistic that vampyres are most likely to turn those whom they have personal attachment to or have developed a particular interest in such as their family members from their previous human lives, mortal lovers, friends, and other valued individuals. It can be proposed that this is the innate selfishness of vampyres; their way of combating the loneliness of such long lives. This is not a universal occurrence, however, and there are those who will refuse to turn those they love out of refusal to risk their deaths.

𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘

The turning is both a process of science and of the arcane. There is an incomprehensible factor within a vampyre's biology that can only be ascribed as mystic in nature. It is intertwined with a similar factor within human biology (and other creatures with humanoid biology) that is imperceptible to most mortals. Vampyres, for all intents and purposes, value the lineage of their sire's bloodlines because their very existence is linked to the power and life bestowed by that lineage.

When vampyres drink from another being, it isn't truly the blood that sustains them, but rather, an arcane "essence" that each living being possesses, which flows through their blood. This substance is called vitae, which in Latin means "life". Vampyres don't drink blood for the blood itself; they drink the life inside of the blood, a substance unique to each individual. The secrets of vitae have been lost to time, buried and sealed in hidden locations by the most ancient vampyres to keep their secrets out of the hands of younger generations for fear that they could use that knowledge to usurp them or the hierarchy altogether. It is said amongst many that vitae is the essence of the soul itself, which is why it is a broad belief that vampyres lack souls as they lack their own vitae. This is, however, untrue for this strain of vampirism; while there are other forms classified as vampires that become such due to demonic involvement, the loss of souls, or other means, the primary and widespread sprain discussed here are beings with souls, not formed by demonic influence but by arcane biology.

It's important to understand that vampyres seek vitae from their prey in order to understand the turning process, as the process itself is, in all basic sense, a transfusion and full replacement of an individual's vitae with that of their sire. Vampyres must regularly drink to replenish the blood and vitae within them because they no longer produce their own vitae; rather, they convert the vitae of another into their own vitae using the essence implanted in them by their sire. The process is as follows.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒

The first and most important step in the turning is the individual being turned must consume the blood of their prospective sire. A single drop is not enough; they must consume, as a mortal, an entire unit of their sire's blood. This is approximately 250–350 mL of blood, which is a basic minimum that would be given in a normal blood transfusion. (This will not deprive the sire as long as they are well-fed.) The reason this amount of blood is required is to induce broad usage and acceptance of the sire's blood within the body's system. The most important scientific factor outside of the sire's embedded essence is the hemoglobin; a binding structure found on red blood cells that acts as an oxygen carrier through the body. The essence of vitae follows the path of red blood cells as it is carried through the body, and while not confirmed due to the suppression of information and the outdated research on vitae, it is hypothesized that vitae similarly binds to the oxygen carried by hemoglobin. (Another reason why the act of breathing is considered spiritual rather than only physical in many esoteric cultural practices.) Essentially, in shorter terms, the would-be fledgling must consume enough of the sire's essence to where its contribution to their functions is notable.

Once they have consumed the required minimum of their sire's essence, the fledging must be drained of all of the blood in their body. Technically, they only have to lose enough blood to the point they could not survive. This means the fledgling must, at least, lose approximately half of their blood volume, though it is generally better for the turning process to lose more to prevent their vitae from competing with their sire's. In even further numerical terms, any amount over 40% of their total blood volume should be sufficient at the most basic level, but turning has better chances of success when this is above 70%, hence why the process is extremely fatal if it fails as recovery from such high blood loss is nigh impossible.

This is, effectively, the killing of the fledgling, though if they survive the turning, they will never technically fully die throughout it. They will be medically dead from outer appearances, but in a successful turning, their soul will never leave their body, thus they are not counted as "dead" in spiritual manners (an important distinction for the affairs of afterlife management). The reason for this step in the process is, as stated before, to rid them of their own vitae and replace it with that of their sire. When their blood is drained, whether only as needed or entirely (as most sires would prefer for better chances of success), the sire's essence persists within them and reshapes their inner chemistry, turning them into a vampyre. The power of the sire is what keeps them alive as long as their body doesn't reject it as it binds to their soul and roots it in place in lieu of their lost vitae, which is why sirebonds tend to be so strong (and the blood of a vampyre will share the mixed taste of their sire's blood as well). If the sire's vitae is rejected, the turning fails and the would-be fledgling will truly die.

When the turning is a success, the fledgling will eventually wake up after a period of time proportionate to the amount of blood drained from them, corresponding with how long it takes their new, sire-born vitae to regenerate to functional levels. But without blood in their body, they are susceptible to immediate hunger and the will of the beast; the mysterious, primal force that drives every vampire within their subconscious, the "curse" beneath the gift that is only at peace within a vampyre as long as it is properly sated. Because of this, a newborn fledgling must fight to regain control of their mind immediately, and, if not able to properly feed and sate the beast inside them within the first day, most will succumb to it and become nothing more than a feral, mindless animal that will inevitable be put down. This is another pitfall of the turning; even those who survive the initial process may not survive the aftermath or early life as a fledgling.

For this reason, sires who seek to keep their fledglings and turned them purposefully will typically keep them close. Some may choose to feed them to stave off the beast immediately, whether from mortal prey they have acquired or from their own blood to further strengthen their sirebond. Others may want their fledglings to prove themselves worthy of the gift, leaving them to find their first prey on their own. Rogue vampyres who routinely sire fledglings and abandon them fully are highly frowned upon, and if these fledglings manage to survive life without the guidance of their sire, they may be "adopted" by different clans or houses as low-ranking members or servants to add to the strength of the house.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐃

Though siring a fledgling inseparably links their blood to that of their sire, this does not create any genetic relation between the sire and the fledgling. The turning is a soul binding, not truly a binding of physical blood attributes as explained. It is analogous to an organ transplant; the sire gives a piece of themselves to their fledgling, and this piece proceeds to keep the fledgling alive for the rest of their days. Some may create familial bonds with their fledglings, and some may turn family members from their previous lives, but many also turn their lovers, friends, and other individuals deemed of value as mentioned before.

Sire-fledgling relationships can take many forms and be as complex as (if not moreso than) mortal relationships. However, in any case, no matter how a relationship may shift between sire and fledgling for better or worse, the sire bond is unbreakable, ended only through a true death. There will always be a part of the sire within the fledgling's soul, and it will always call to the fledgling as a fragment taken from a whole.

As a consequence, vampyres with powers of persuasion, charm, compulsion, or other mind/emotion altering abilities will have an easier time influencing their fledglings through this bond. In addition, both a sire and fledgling will grow an affinity for each other's blood; this was a mechanism evolved for the purpose of strengthening sirebonds between sire-fledgling pairs. The taste of blood shared between a sire and fledgling is often described on either end as unique and fulfilling in ways normal human blood cannot match. In practical terms, this is also because drinking from such a compatible source makes the replication of vitae easier, meaning a sire and fledgling could gain more from each other's blood while drinking less than they would from others.

𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

Not everyone can become a vampire. Some individuals are more compatible with vampirism than others, and there are certain biological and mystic factors that play a role in this. These traits were once documented for fledgling selection, but the full process of the proper selection of fledglings is yet another secret safeguarded by the ancients to discourage the overzealous creation of more vampyres. As such, it's hard for the majority of vampyres to determine the success chances of turning an individual beforehand. This contributes to the high failure percentage of turnings. There is some knowledge that is more commonly known (albeit typically kept amongst the higher echelons of the hierarchy) and certain traits confirmed to increase the chances of a successful turning. While the full list of compatability is, again, a closely-guarded secret of the ancients, the following traits and circumstances have been confirmed to contribute to potential turnings.

Most important: a prospective fledgling MUST be turned under a Balsamic Dark Moon (waning crescent) under any circumstances. Any and all turnings, no matter the probability of success, will automatically fail if not performed during this 3-4 day period before the moon changes phase into a New Moon. The barrier between worlds is the weakest during this period, and this short span of time is the progenitor of transformation among vampyres, owing to the forgotten ritual that first created this species of vampyres millennia ago. It is impossible to turn a vampyre outside of this phase of the moon.

Those born under the same Balsamic Moon have a much higher probability of success when being turned; in fact, it's estimated that those born under a Balsamic Moon have a 50% chance of success by this factor alone rather than the average 1% in other individuals.

Those born under certain sign placements can also have a higher or lower chance of success influenced by their stars.

Sign placements that can increase the chances of success:

any of the major triad (sun, moon, ascendant) in Scorpio

Neptune in Scorpio

Scorpio, Aries, or Leo in the 8th house

Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, or Pluto in the 8th house

Lilith in Scorpio or Pisces

Moon or Saturn in Pisces

Moon, Jupiter, or Pluto in Sagittarius

Midheaven (Medium Coeli) in Scorpio, Sagittarius, or Pisces

Sign placements that can decrease the chances of success:

any of the major triad (sun, moon, ascendant) in Taurus

Chiron in the 8th house or in Scorpio

Pluto or Jupiter in Taurus

Lilith or Saturn in Aries

Neptune or Jupiter in Virgo

Neptune or Mars in Libra

Libra in the 1st house

Taurus, Capricorn, or Aquarius in the 8th house

Numerology can also play a part in increasing or decreasing the odds of success, though as such a broad subject, it is hard to pinpoint specifics outside of a few old tales. Birth order for those born amongst siblings is one such example of the influence of numerology, as the seventh born child in a family is believed in some old customs to be doomed to become a vampire; this has some truth to it, as being born in the seventh order increases the chances of a successful turning, doubly so if one is the seventh child of a parent who was also a seventh child.

Something unquantifiable that also helps determine the odds of success is the willpower of the individual themselves. The more they will internally fight to live throughout the process, the more tightly they cling to themselves as their soul threatens to cleave from their body, the more chance they have of surviving. This requires a balance, however, as they must have the willpower to will, but also the willingness to surrender to their sire's power within them and allow it to sustain them. One must fight, but it is also possible to fight against the turning rather than for it, and some stronger-willed individuals may thwart the turning altogether if turned against their will. But the fact remains, it is not possible to survive the turning out of sheer willpower alone; you can have all the willpower in the world and still die if the circumstances of your personhood simply do not align with the mystic aspects of transformation.

ㅤㅤThis lore is designed in a way to be compatible with other vampire lore. All traits specific to my custom lore are considered part of this “strain” of vampirism, so other vampiric characters following different laws and lore for their existence, biology, powers, etc. are simply considered part of a different strain or type of vampire.

𝚃𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚢

ㅤㅤ“Vampire” is treated as, for all intents and purposes, an umbrella term encompassing many different types of creatures that fall within the same spectrum of the supernatural. The preferred term among this strain (referring specifically to the characters I’m writing in this lore) is actually the archaic “vampyre” for themselves, passed down over centuries of lineage, but “vampire” is also acceptable as the modern form of address. Regional variations such as the Korean term heuphyolgui are also accepted terms, though some regional or cultural terms may refer to entirely different strains or creatures such as the aswang or manananggal from the Philippines, striga or vrykolakas from Greece, or jiangshi from Chinese folklore. Most of the common wide-spread strains of vampirism come from the Slavic or Eastern European regions but have migrated throughout the world over time, owed largely to historical trade and colonialism.

𝚂𝚞𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚕 𝙿𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚖

ㅤㅤThe main concept of vampires in this lore revolves around themes of parasitism and the price of stolen humanity. Vampires struggle to maintain the illusion of humanity that allowed them to continue living in society as any other and rely wholly off of feeding from the blood / vitae of humans to maintain themselves. When well-fed, vampires are almost perfectly passable as human beings, and their powers are at their strongest. When they are underfed, they become more corpselike, mentally more prone to beast-like behavior and, if starved enough, at risk for becoming entirely feral until properly sated once more; but even then, if a vampire has been feral for long enough, it could take months or years for them to regain themselves, or possibly never fully recover at all. In this sense, vampires are entirely dependent on humans, even though many may see themselves as evolved creatures above the mortals they prey upon. Without humans to feed on, these vampires would become beasts entirely.

𝙵𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐

ㅤㅤFeeding is precarious for vampires for this very reason. It must be done regularly to maintain power and appearances for those who wish to be “daywalkers” living normally among society rather than withdrawing as hermetic beings. Most vampires of this strain are forced into such societal withdrawal due to lack of access to frequent feeding; a portion of them are able to successfully live as daywalkers, and most still only interact with humanity at night. This is largely because of the risk of exposure feeding poses, which increases by frequency.

ㅤㅤSome vampires with enough resources and connections may seek alternatives such as feeding at bloodbanks, but the risk of stealing from these institutions is worse than normal hunting due to the presence of security, thus the only vampires truly able to successfully make use of these alternative feeding methods are ones with connections inside the facility itself willing to help them. Sometimes these are humans with aspirations to join the undead, fascination for them, or those paid by bribery or bound by vampires with the power of compulsion. This makes feeding from bloodbanks something only safely available to those with wealth and privilege, and typically only vampires who have infiltrated the higher echelons of society are able to gain such access. It’s also frowned upon for vampires to drink from animals, as while it may fill their bellies and keep them alive, it will not preserve their powers or humane functions due to the lack of human vitae, and thus will not keep them from falling into a beastmind. It may even hasten the process.

ㅤㅤWhen feeding, vampires do not only drink blood, but they consume the lifeforce (or “vitae”) within the blood. This is what helps them sustain their appearance of humanity and is why alternatives to human blood are not suitable, as mentioned above. When a vampire drinks directly from a human, they are simultaneously absorbing this vitae; it causes a physical reaction while feeding, with the vampire’s body attuning to their prey, their heartbeat and “breathing” falling in sync with the person they are drinking from. This lingers for several hours to a few days after feeding depending on how much the vampire drinks. Vampires do not have to drain an individual completely to be fed; they can easily be sustained by small, harmless feedings if done frequently enough. More powerful vampires may seek to keep thralls for this reason, creating a sustainable source of vitae for themselves that they can draw from frequently, but they must be careful to maintain their thralls as to not overuse them. Willing thralls can be hard to find, however, and compulsion is a power that only a portion of vampires possess.

ㅤㅤFor humans being fed upon, typically the only pain is in the initial bite and breaking of skin depending on how gentle the vampire chooses to be. Some more sadistic individuals may maim their prey on purpose, but this is also frowned upon due to increased risk of exposure. Others may choose not to use their fangs at all, instead making a clean cut to the skin of their prey to further obfuscate evidence of feeding. Vampiric “venom” is secreted by their fangs, elicited when they are extended, and works to create a sense of euphoria in human prey by inducing the release of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (it may be spread by contact with the tongue as well if the vampire licks the venom from their own fangs, a method commonly used by vampires who choose not to bite their prey but rather drink from their wound).

ㅤㅤBecause of this, a vampiric feeding may even have positive effects on the human as long as the vampire does not overfeed as they may have more restful sleep, may have dulled pain, or may feel calm for a few hours afterward. This was a natural adaptation in the vampires designed to facilitate the parasitic relationship between vampires and their prey. However, overfeeding, even if not to completely drain a human, will cause negative effects that may negate these positive after-effects, such as headaches, fainting, weakness, and other symptoms associated with various levels of exsanguination. Most vampires will typically feed to the point of inducing temporary amnesia for the sake of further hiding evidence of the feeding. Vampire bites close and heal in less than a day if given with care due to the properties of the venom, but those who are reckless with their prey or feed repeatedly from them in a short span of time may leave behind scars.

ㅤㅤVampires, when well-fed, may appear exactly like humans. These daywalkers blend in well with society for as long as they can maintain the facade. They are called daywalkers among their kin because they have reached a level of sustenance where they can walk in the sunlight without harm, though it is still uncomfortable to most. Others are not able to reach the level of power and immunity as the daywalkers but are still passable enough as human to interact with human society at night. Well-fed vampires maintain human-like complexions, lively heartbeats, and naturally mimic breathing without having to consciously do so. They can function much like humans and can maintain human bodily functions as long as they stay fed. This includes being able to eat and drink human food or engage in sexual activity, including, though precarious, the ability to procreate.

𝙾𝚏𝚏𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐

ㅤㅤVampires that are born from unions between two vampires are called “pureborn”. Vampires born from unions between a human and a vampire are formally called dhampir and casually referred to as halfbloods; these are the most common type of “born” vampires as pureborn are exceptionally rare (though highly prized by some bloodlines). Hybrids with other species of the supernatural are possible as long as reproduction is feasible, but very, very rare. It is easier for a vampire to father a child on a human woman than for a vampire to carry a child themselves. For a vampire to carry a child, it would require constant sustenance to maintain human functionality and thus keep the ability to carry a healthy pregnancy throughout a nine month term, which can be increasingly precarious, hence the rarity of pureborn children.

ㅤㅤThe traits of hybrids and pureborn depend largely on their parents and the blood lineage of their vampiric parent(s). Blood lineage, especially among lines descended from ancient vampires, is highly influential in what powers a being may develop. Pureborn are more likely to develop the “rarer” powers, whereas human hybrids are not guaranteed to develop powers at all. Human hybrids are the most varied group of born vampires as some may be born purely vampiric, some purely human, and others anywhere on a spectrum between the two, all with different requirements for feeding. Those that are more human may not need to feed to maintain their humanity at all, while others who are more vampiric may need to feed just as their vampiric parent does.

𝙷𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢, 𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙱𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍

ㅤㅤVampiric powers directly correlate in strength to how well-fed a vampire is, as feeding means more fuel for their powers, but the overall maximum potential of their powers will ultimately depend on their blood lineage and the power obtained from their sire. There are powers regarded as common among vampires, and there are others more rare and prized among ancient blood lineages. The closer a vampire is to the progenitor of these lineages, the more likely they are to develop these rare powers or a power unique to themselves. Examples of this include Dae Jaeshin, with the ancient and prized power of haemomancy, and Moon Junha, with the power to bend shadow and light. Both were sired by the ancient vampire Yi Nam-kyu, who himself possesses the unique power of blood visions called “sanguine scrying”.

ㅤㅤVampires who are poorly fed are unable to maintain the strength to use higher powers or appear human. When a vampire is unable to feed enough to sustain themselves, they gradually lose the facade of humanity and become more corpse-like; they become paler, colder, and lose the ability to maintain living functions, including no longer being able to maintain a heartbeat or human-like breathing patterns, eat or drink human food (their bodies will reject it upon the loss of digestive functions), or engage in sexual activity. Vampires who are starved enough may lose the ability to secrete venom, leading to more painful feedings, especially coupled with encroaching bestial instincts. Eventually, they become unable to retract their teeth or claws (if they possess the latter), and may be overcome by the beastmind if they do not feed soon enough or have the willpower left to fight against it.

ㅤㅤWhen the beastmind overtakes a vampire, they become feral, no different from a ravenous animal who will do anything to find food. As mentioned, if given over to the beastmind for long enough, it may become more impossible to ever recover from it fully, and some particularly unfortunate individuals may be lost to the beast within them forever.

𝚅𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚌 𝙴𝚢𝚎𝚜

ㅤㅤEach vampire has unique eye colors, usually derived from the colors of their sire (reds and pinks from a crimson-eyed sire, blues and purples from a blue-eyed sire, etc.). These may appear passably natural in some cases or completely inhuman in others, though this is easier to get away with in the modern era thanks to the existence of color contacts. Some vampires may choose to wear contacts to disguise their eyes nonetheless, and others may wear their strange colors proudly. Eyes are also the most obvious visual indicator of how well-fed a vampire is, as they will be bright and true-to-color when fed, but fade to duller, greyer hues when hungry. Eventually they will fade into a bright, unnatural, almost glowing silver if starved; this is the same for every vampire, and these bright silver eyes are often regarded as an ill-omen amongst vampirekind as they are often a precursor to one being overcome by the beastmind.

𝚅𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚌 𝚃𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚑

ㅤㅤVampire teeth also vary greatly. The majority of vampires have some form of retractable teeth, but few are unfortunate enough to have a mouth full of razor fangs, which are a hindrance to blending in. For those with typical fangs, these usually come in sets of one, two, or three, some with only fangs on their top row of teeth, some with fangs on both rows. When retracted, these fangs are usually hidden enough to visually pass as sharp canines or mild deformities. Overall, physiology, just as powers, varies based on lineage as well as the traits one held while human.

ㅤㅤBeing bitten by a vampire won’t turn someone into a vampire. Being turned is a very specific process for this strain of vampirism, and one that is quite precarious to survive. Most attempts to turn to another fail for various reasons. One might do everything right, but if the individual is not strong enough in will to survive the process, they will die nonetheless. To become a vampire, one must drink the blood of a vampire, then be drained of all their blood. This leaves only the remnant of that vampire’s ingested essence to sustain the exsanguinated individual, which, if the process fails, will kill them, but if it succeeds, that vampiric essence will become part of them and raise them in undeath. This is what forms the sire bond and blood lineage between vampiric lines.

ㅤㅤThe final part of the process requires the fledgling’s first feeding. This step is a test of willpower more than anything, a test to see if the fledgling can overcome the beastmind and survive as a vampire. What happens then largely depends on the sire. Some sires choose to give their new fledglings their own blood as a way to ease the process for them and further strengthen the sire bond between them. Others prefer to see if their new fledglings will sink or swim on their own as a form of testing them. And other, more cruel sires will simply abandon them altogether. These fledglings, without guidance, are usually the ones who fall quickly to the beastmind, often within the first three years of being turned.

𝙵𝚕𝚎𝚍𝚐𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚂𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗

ㅤㅤOf all the attempts to create fledglings, only about 1% in total will succeed. Some individuals may be incompatible with vampirism, and others may be more suited for it. This is based on various uncertain factors pertaining to mysticism and the circumstances of an individual’s birth and life, though these factors have been largely forgotten among more modern vampire lineages due to further delineation from the ancients and loss of ancient vampiric practices. Some say that certain bloodlines take more easily to vampirism, some say that one’s actions during life contribute, and others claim it can be influenced by matters of pure fate such as being born as a seventh son or being born under certain stars.

ㅤㅤThe truth of what makes one most suitable as a chosen fledgling is still kept by the highest ancients that exist in present-day, but they refuse to reveal these long-held secrets to their lesser kin in order to discourage reckless creation of fledglings and consolidate power between the elites among the undead rather than further diluting what many of them consider to be the Gifted Blood. The knowledge of how to choose the most suitable fledglings is part of how these ancient lineages have maintained power, able to grow their own courts while stifling those of potential rivals and maintain their place in vampiric hierarchy.

ㅤㅤWhat powers a vampire inherits depends entirely on bloodline and their own individual factors. Most vampires only have basic abilities, but the closer a vampire is in lineage to ancient blood via their sire, the more likely they are to develop rare, more highly prized powers. The lists below are not comprehensive and may be added to over time.

ㅤㅤPossessed by all (non-hybrid) vampires to various degrees of efficacy:

vampiric fangs and venom

superhuman strength and speed

inhuman sensory capabilities

night vision

ㅤㅤMost common powers possessed by vampires (most may have a couple of these abilities):

hypnotism

induced amnesia, memory manipulation

charm / persuasion, also known as subconscious influence

empathic abilities that may extend to emotional influence

animal communication & kinship (limited to specific types of animals depending on the individual)

perfect mimicry

ㅤㅤRare powers possessed by a smaller percentage of vampires:

shapeshifting (may be animal shifting, mist forms, or ability to change physical appearance)

compulsion

flying / levitation

shade-walking (ability to become invisible in shadows)

animal familiars / mind-sharing

astral projection or "dreamwalking"

dreamcrafting (power to directly influence dreams of others, often manifests alongside dreamwalking but not always)

divination

clairvoyance, the ability to see spirits and identify supernatural beings

pyrokinesis

ㅤㅤExtremely rare or unique powers only seen in certain individuals, mainly ancients or those close to their lineage; some powers have been known in the past but are considered "extinct" if no known individual possesses them, though this does not mean the power will not reappear:

blood visions / sanguine scrying — possessed by Yi Nam-kyu

prophetic sight (non-divination) — possessed by Yi Nam-kyu

necromancy — considered extinct presently

shadow / light manipulation; may be illusory, may extend to physical control of matter — possessed by Moon Junha

haemomancy; blood magic, manipulation of blood — possessed by Dae Jaeshin

inflicted madness; the ability to impose mental anguish or upon another through projected imagery into their mind — considered extinct presently

telepathy — unknown

carnomancy; the ability to control and re-shape flesh and bone, including regrowth of lost limbs and healing of other beings — unknown

hive mind; a unique form of joint telepathy once found in a certain lineage — considered extinct presently

toxigenesis; the ability to create and secrete various substances through ingested compounds in the body, then spread via touch — unknown

nervous system override; can elicit different sensations in the nervous system of another including but not limited to general pain, muscle cramps, burning sensations, itchiness, anxiety, the feeling of electrocution, or conversely ease pain or elicit sensory pleasure instead — unknown

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝒮𝒰𝒩𝒮𝐸𝒯𝒯𝐸

Sunsette is a girl group originally formed by BryteStar entertainment. It was originally formed by four of BryteStar's most prodigious prospects, though the full lineup of six went through several changes as management struggled to commit to choosing the final two girls. One of the original four prospects dropped out of the training program and was replaced by Kandili, who was not originally a trainee at all. The last two slots were filled by Rathana, a late inductee into the training program, and Junha, an already established star in the west who had come back to South Korea in search of a fresh start. The three remaining members of BryteStar's original lineup before training ended and the group was official formed were Serin (a dancer who had inspired BryteStar's initiative in the first place and the first official member confirmed for Sunsette from inception), Araceli, and Seonhui.

Junha's arrival changed the original direction of the group greatly as BryteStar saw the chance to capitalize on her existing stardom to expand early into international markets. Sunsette's concept was dropped and rebuilt to center the former Hollywood starlet, which at first caused some resentment between herself and other members of the group, particularly Serin. This was all at BryteStar's discretion, and Junha, feeling guilty for the imposition upon the other girls, did her best to endear herself to them and make sure they were all treated fairly, including using her influence to turn down several of BryteStar's directives that would have further alienated her groupmates. Eventually, her dedication earned their trust, and the six girls developed a sisterhood.

Sunsette would go on to become one of the hottest and most influential international groups in recent memory, steadily on their way to being named among some of the most successful of all time. They became one of the first k-pop groups to win a Grammy award, breaking through western biases and dominating awards seasons in both hemispheres for consecutive years to gain well-deserved recognition. Their music was often praised for creative instrumentations, balanced structure, excellent vocal harmonies, evocative choreography, and the collaborative efforts between the girls that showcased their strengths. Their artistic presentation and creative direction was also a source of praise, and the diversity of the group was particularly popular in western markets. Sunsette is largely credited with BryteStar's rise in international markets whereas before they had been largely local to Korea and unable to compete with larger entertainment conglomerates; now, with Sunsette's success, they were considered among the best of the best.

The group always seemed like the sky was their limit. With six talented individuals, incredible artistic direction and production quality, and the backing of rising industry giant BryteStar, most believed nothing could stop Sunsette's ascent. Nothing, of course, except scandal from within. As the leader and public face of the group, Junha was under the utmost scrutiny of the public eye, as she had been since being abruptly launched to superstardom at the young age of thirteen. She was a pro at handling Public Relations, having learned from experience in the industry over the past decade. However, several unfortunate and tragic events in Junha's personal life occurred in close succession, and a highly publicized break-up with long-time boyfriend Dae Jaeshin (known professionally as JAZON) had her at her breaking point.

During a press event, Junha was hounded repeatedly by reporters and paparazzi about the recent misfortunes of her personal life, and in her poor mental state, the singer snapped, verbally lashing out at the reporters. The situation spiraled, the mob persisted even when she abruptly attempted to walk out, and the high pressure situation caused Junha publicly meltdown. She broke the glass door of the building where the event was held, broke several furnishings (mainly by throwing decorations at the paparazzi as well as one chair), and threw the camera of a certain reporter into oncoming traffic when she believed he had taken an up-skirt photo of her amidst the chaos. Needless to say, this caused a massive scandal that rocked the Korean music scene.

BryteStar issued a public apology and insisted Junha do the same, but she refused, and instead took to social media to double-down on her actions, launching into several tirades over the course of the next week berating various people whom she deemed culpable in the incident. Eventually, BryteStar's social media team gained access to her accounts and locked her out, and upon intervention from her Sunsette groupmates, Junha quietly disappeared from the public eye to voluntarily enter an inpatient mental health facility. She stayed for two weeks before checking herself out and dropping contact with everyone. After a mutual decision to void her contract at BryteStar and settling the numerous lawsuits caused by her meltdown, for which she had to pay roughly 48.3 billion won in total (~34 million usd), she all but dropped from the face of the earth for over a year, during which she contacted no one, not even her Sunsette groupmates, who had become her family.

In the wake of Junha's scandal and disappearance, Sunsette's future was uncertain. BryteStar had built the group's image around Junha, and with her release, many questioned if Sunsette would be able to continue at all. It was Serin who held the group together during this time, restructuring Sunsette when BryteStar balked at the prospect. She took over leadership of the group during this time, largely due to her collected mindset and the trust the girls had in her, and together, this new, five-member version of Sunsette worked to rehab their broken public image and rebuild their brand from the ground up. It was because of Serin's leadership that Sunsette survived the perilous aftermath, though BryteStar's entertainment empire would not be so fortunate.

Many talent in other projects were unhappy with how the situation with Junha was handled, especially BryteStar's failure to support Sunsette after her departure; some began requesting releases from their contracts, and others declined to have them renewed when they reached the end of their deals, choosing instead to move on to other companies. The loyal talents that stayed benefited from BryteStar's gratefulness and flourished, keeping the company afloat, but it would struggle to reach the heights it once had with Sunsette as it's golden child.

Over a year after Junha's disappearance, she resurfaced with a sudden comeback that once again shook the industry. A darker, edgier, and highly provocative rebrand championed her to solo success, and she embraced her previous scandal rather than hiding from it. The renewed vigor in Junha was unmistakable, and some would say she came back to the industry better than she had left it. Junha would publicly credit her signing with Erebos Entertainment with this new direction in her career and praise its founder, Yi Nam-Kyu, for helping her create her new image. The attention Junha brought to the company sparked a boom in talent signings, many of which Junha personally orchestrated as a liason on behalf of Mr. Yi. Within a few months, her solo career had launched her into becoming a full-blown pop princess and immortalized her forever as a songstress whose star refuses to fade.

But with Junha's return, more questions arose, especially regarding the state of her affiliation with Sunsette. While some hoped for a reunion, many believed that company clashes and Junha's flourishing solo career might prevent such a thing. There were other considerations; Sunsette's image had shifted considerably in the past year and was thriving under the leadership and direction of Serin, and some imagined a power clash between two of Korea's most beloved idols. This was not the case, however. Junha had longed to reconnect with her sisters in Sunsette, and after reconciliation, the six became close once more in their private lives. Professionally, Sunsette was on the verge of resigning with BryteStar; it was Junha's personal appeal to Serin that stopped this, convincing Sunsette to sign with Erebos instead when their contract expired. The announcement of Sunsette's acquirement by Erebos once again set the music industry alight with rumors and speculation, and soon enough, it was proven true when Junha was featured heavily in Sunsette's first project released under Erebos. She would rejoin the group, albeit in a somewhat reduced role that allows her to continue her solo career.

While once again the public face of Sunsette under its Erebos rebrand, which, much like Junha's own rebrand, leaned into an edgier and more sexualized public image, Junha only superficially accepted becoming a leader within the group once again, instead becoming a co-leader with Serin in recognition of her work to carry Sunsette through the scandal that Junha had caused. She may be the public face, but Serin is the one truly making the decisions for Sunsette, including maintaining a degree of independence from Erebos's management due to uneasiness regarding certain aspects of the company. Eventually, Serin's reluctance would be proven right, as Junha was not wholly honest about the future she and Mr. Yi had in mind for Sunsette.
