The races of NDZ

[Cut]

A vampire is created when a person ingests vampire blood, but the transformation is not complete until they feed on human blood.Once turned, they suffer from bloodlust and must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive.Unlike folkloric vampires, they do not require an invitation to enter a home and are not killed by sunlight. They also prefer to live in packs in locations called nests, and will mate for life.After death, vampire souls go to Purgatory.The Alpha Vampire was the very first vampire and he appears to have a psychic connection with other vampires.A cure for vampirism exists, but only if the vampire has not yet drunk human blood and can acquire the blood of the vampire that turned him or her.

Powers and AbilitiesVampires:

Have extremely enhanced senses that include being able to smell humans and vampires over long distances, and the ability to see in pitch darkness.

Have sharp, pointed, retractable teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth.

Are immortal and unchanging.

Can infect others by feeding them their blood so that they turn into vampires themselves.

If they have enough human blood, they can heal quickly from any wound besides amputation..

Weaknesses

Sunlight. It's not deadly, but can cause a nasty sunburn. Vampires prefer to sleep during the day.

Dead Man's Blood

A poison to vampires that incapacitates them for a short period of time. When the blood from a dead human is injected into a vampire it induces a blood sickness, causing them to become very weak.

The method of incapacitating a vampire with blood from a dead person is part of vampiric folklore. Tricking a vampire into drinking blood from a dead person to kill him has also been used quite a few times in vampiric tales, notably Interview with the Vampire, wherein the vampire must stop drinking the blood of her/his victim before she/he dies, as drinking blood after death is harmful to the vampire.Large quantities can paralyze a vampire and cause wounds that are slow to heal.

Decapitation. Cutting off the head of a vampire will kill it.

Bloodlust. A vampire must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive (It is unknown how long vampire could survive without feeding before it would starve to death, or if such a thing is even possible).

Werewolves

Werewolves are humans that transform into wolf-like creatures under the influence of a full moon. The infection and resultant affliction is commonly referred to as lycanthropy. When they are in wolf-form, they appear human except for their yellow eyes, fangs, and claws, and they use their superior abilities and enhanced senses to hunt humans and eat their hearts.They do not remember transforming or any of the details of what they've done as a werewolf once they return to human form, but it seems that whatever subconscious desires or fears they feel as human translate into action when they are werewolves.The only confirmed way to kill a werewolf is by piercing its heart with Silver. Pureblood werewolves are different than other werewolves. The closer they are to the Alpha werewolf in generations, the more they can control themselves. These werewolves can transform at any time, their human side has more control in wolf form and they can chose to feed on animal hearts instead of human hearts, but once they get a taste of a human heart, it is nearly impossible to resist the urge to feed on humans.

Powers and AbilitiesWerewolves:

Have superior strength and agility.


Have elongated, sharp fangs and claws

Have enhanced sight and smell.

Can infect others with a bite so that they turn into werewolves themselves at the next full moon.

WeaknessesSilver. Piercing a werewolf through the heart with silver will kill it.
