Description
Not undead but alive, a vampire is a human being who has been transformed by vampirism. Whether considered a blessing, a curse, or simply a viral infection, vampirism exhibits some apparent supernatural qualities.
Despite there being differing groups, and sometimes even unique individuals, all vampires share the same basic qualities. Such as their superhuman physical abilities, or mainly, the need to drink blood for their primary method of sustenance. Although things such as food can be used to supplement this for a time, or simply as something to enjoy on the side, all vampires require blood regularly, being able to go roughly two to three days without feeding, before starvation begins. Most however, tend to feed daily.
Origin
The origin of vampires is unknown, with there being many different theories of it's origins. Some say modern vampires are the descendants of an original, undead predecessor, having several of it's own variety of theories on these supposed ancestors and how they differ from the modern vampire. Others believe vampirism to be some sort of blessing or curse from one or more deities, or maybe the result of some sort of ancient magic. Regardless, vampirism has no solid agreed upon origin, with it only being universally agreed that vampirism itself is very old, and that vampires used to differ somehow in the past.
