Some more vampire stuff that I didn't write out last time, mostly things related to their powers and abilities.
(Will be copypasted in comments, please wait until I'm done before commenting.)

Vampire powers infodump!
ENHANCED PHYSICAL ABILITIES
- A vampire's physical strength can be up to 3 times higher than when they were human. They also have incredibly sharp reflexes, able to react and respond to things almost the same moment they happen.
ENHANCED SENSES
- Vampires have a sharper sense of smell and hearing than any human (though their sense of smell is nowhere near as strong as a werewolf's). They also have slightly sharper eyesight and better night vision. On the downside, because their eyes are so sensitive, light (including sunlight) can hurt them, often requiring vampires to wear sunglasses on bright days.
(TBC...)

ENHANCED HEALING
- Vampire heal from most injuries at an incredibly fast rate. A broken arm or leg, which could take months to fully heal in a human, will repair itself in a matter of days. Flesh wounds are usually repaired within hours. However, some attacks can disrupt a vampire's healing magic and cause them to heal slower. These include cuts inflicted by wooden weapons, bites from another vampire, and certain magical attacks.
If a vampire is severely injured (i.e. the kind of damage that would probably kill a human), it's common for them to pass out and remain unconscious until the injuries are at least partly healed. This coma-like state allows them to heal more quickly.

IMMUNITY
- Vampires are unable to catch any sort of illness, disease or infection. However, there /are/ certain types of poison that can have an effect on them. When poison enters a vampire's bloodstream, most of the time, it'll be nullified by their healing magic within seconds. Some poisons are able to remain in the bloodstream long enough to cause adverse effects - such as disorientation, nausea or pain - but it's still impossible for a vampire to die from them.
They can survive extreme cold and heat, being unable to get things like frostbite, hypothermia or heatstroke. However, this doesn't mean that extreme temperatures are /comfortable/ for them, especially cold - it might not physically harm them, but they can still feel it.

TELEPATHY
- Vampires can send messages into the minds of other people to communicate with them over large distances, though the other person can't respond unless they also know how to use telepathy. A vampire's telepathic range varies, and can be anywhere from a few feet to a mile. (Sargon was known to have a telepathic range of several miles, but since this is otherwise unheard of, it's assumed that he found a way to artifically increase it.)

SHAPESHIFTING
- One of the abilities vampires are most known for is their ability to shift into different animals. Some vampires can only assume one alternate form (they can't choose what animal this will be, and it's usually an animal they have a strong connection with). However, most can shift into any non-magical animal they like. Vampires usually have a 'signature form' which is the one they're most comfortable using. Signature forms for different characters include:
Armin: Black Kite
Frederick: Golden Retriever
Rex: Raven
Sargon: Peregrine falcon
Pyre: Red fox

MISC TRIVIA
- Vampires can drink the blood of any animal - human blood isn't 'better' than other types (despite what some people think). However, warm-blooded animals tend to be better than cold-blooded ones.
- Many animals react badly to the presence of vampires, as they can sense that they're not human (and also tend to view them as predators). However, some animals (dogs, horses, etc) can be trained to ignore vampires, and some don't react badly at all.
- Vampires' immunity has an unfortunate side effect; they are also immune to most medications, including pain relief/anesthetics. A strong enough anesthetic might put them to sleep, but otherwise they don't really do anything.
- Their immunity also affects the way they process things like alcohol and drugs. Weak alcoholic drinks have no effect on vampires. They have to drink large amounts of something strong to actually get drunk. Most drugs don't work on them either, though some might work for brief periods; it depends on the individual.

Re: Ohno! Quick! Inject garlic and holy salt into your blood.
It's extremely unhealthy but hey it'll keep'em away X'D
Though then idk if your vamps follow those rules pffff.
Also how do you think they reacted to the pig blood that was 'accidentally' placed in bottles meant for wine? X'D

Re: omg wood, I wanna see someone just,,, chuck a bunch of wood at an angry vamp. X'D
Well I think traditionally it was holy/blessed objects, but I'm not a big vamp expert so I'd have to look into it.
I forget where that came from, maybe from the original Dracula novels pfff.
Ohohoh
Wine be cheaper than blood hmmmmm;)))
Too bad it wasn't meant to last. :[
Is there such a thing as smuggling certain kinds of exotic bloods?
Is there a taste difference in say a B vs AB, A types?
I know they all are effectively the same but it's interesting to know which bloods are the most expensive/ widely preferred X'D
