Facts about my vampires

Purebloods do not need to drink blood.

Only changed vampires, halfbloods, and certain fullbloods need to consume blood to survive.

The consumption of blood by any vampire gives them a sudden and temporary boost in their abilities, strength, and speed.

Blood consumed by a Pureblood runs the risk of them developing Blood Lust, or simply put, an addiction to the blood which can drive them mad, cause death by overconsumption, and the usual effects you’d see from someone with an addiction.

Vampires typically don’t drink from other vampires, to them, it is a form of cannibalism though there have been instances where a Pureblood with Blood Lust or a changed vampire who has gone rogue drinks from their own kind.

Each Pureblood has one specific magical/special ability. For example, Haru has the ability to manipulate water, Minami has weather manipulation, Ayame has the power to boost others abilities, strengths, and even awaken powers that have not manifested yet simply by being around her.

The clans have blood banks set up all over the world to make sure that the changed vampires have ways to stay fed and have easy access to these places.

Those same banks also have systems set up to help any vampire who needs help for anything including but not limited to legal papers, identification such as driver licenses, records, to even creating them an entirely new identity.

Vampires can easily pick up different scents in a person’s blood from telling exactly what they are to knowing whether they are diseased, have been drinking or on drugs, etc.

All vampires have their normal human form that you see every day but they also have their released vampire form. Their eyes change to red, their fangs appear and look more like a snake’s fangs rather than the expected vampire fangs and their strength, speed, and all-around physical abilities increase 2-5 times more than when in their human form (2 typical for changed vampires, up to 5 times for fullbloods and Purebloods).

While all vampires are immortal, it doesn’t mean they can’t be killed, it’s just an extremely difficult task to accomplish.

Vampires were originally created by a deal made with Hades and a man that begged for him to bring back his dead wife and son who died during the plague of Athens. When they came back, they were what we now consider the first two Purebloods.

Only Bryony and Dionysus, the first two vampires, can create another Pureblood by biting them. Anyone they change will become a Pureblood rather than a changed vampire.

They can see their reflections.

They are not weak to holy water, silver, wooden stakes, sunlight, and other such cliche vampire myths.

While their healing is incredibly quick and strong, there is a limit to what it can do. Push hard enough for long enough and eventually, it will wear out.

The fastest way to kill a vampire is by beheading them. Good luck trying though.

Either that or continuously hurting them/forcing them to bleed until their healing abilities can no longer sustain them.

All vampires have extremely sensitive and heightened senses, as would be expected. This can be used against them with particularly strong smells, loud noises, and bright lights.

If a vampire that requires blood to survive does not feed like they should they lose themselves to their own hunger and when that happens they can end up killing anyone and everyone around them until their hunger is satisfied and they regain control again.

During the transition of a vampire being in control to the hunger taking over, you’ll see a new side to them before the final phase (when they completely lose control). That side is more like a predator, they will toy and play with their “meal” and while they are aware enough to know what is happening during this time, they still don’t have control. The final phase is them blacking out and simply attacking and they won’t remember what happened once they are back in control.

A vampire cannot bite a lycanthrope because their blood is toxic to all vampires. This is also one of the main reasons that hybrids are extremely rare, their DNA is specifically meant to kill the vampire gene.

The only known cure for vampirism is in the hands of the Atlantians which is nearly impossible to get or a version of diluted Lycan blood but this one is extremely risky because it has a higher chance to kill the vampire rather than make them human.

Breaking a vampire’s neck won’t kill them but it will knock them out. It takes time for a major injury like that to heal and can take several hours. This is also the most common way to stop a changed vampire who is losing themselves to their hunger.

The Purebloods from a very young age are trained in a variety of things from several different offensive and defensive fighting styles, the use of varying weapons, to having endured torture for the sake of enhancing their pain tolerance.

Every Pureblood is also taught nearly every common language and even some that aren’t very common for the sake of being able to manage a situation no matter who it’s with or where they are though the main language they speak in is Japanese (even if most are of Greek heritage) and they are good at concealing their accent should they feel the need to.

Alcohol, drugs, medication, poisons and other such things don’t really have any effect on the vampires unless they consume an insanely large amount. But even then things such as poisons won’t work because their blood works to break it down and destroy it before it can hurt them. The only thing that helps (at least alcohol wise) is something called God’s Kiss. It’s an alcohol that is consumed by most of the Greek gods with magical qualities that allow them to be able to feel its effects without running the risk of actually causing any harm.

When the clans first started, there was eight main clans total with four of them residing over the rest. Over time, mostly due to the war between them and the Lycanthropes, their numbers severely dwindled down to only the four higher clans remaining. Those four clans are:

The Minori’s

This is the head of all the clans, where their main leader resides and controls all of the rest. They set the laws, give out the punishments to any who break them and make all of the decisions. Nothing happens without their say. The current head of this clan is Kyoko Minori who after leading a rebellion against her father, changed things for the better. No more arranged marriages, no more death sentences for every law broken, no more selling their own kind for the sake of power and money. The rebellion cost them a great many lives but they won and accomplished what they set out to do.

The Nishimora’s

The second line that at this point has nearly died out. Most were lost during the rebellion, either by refusing to side with their new leader or dying while fighting. The current head of this clan is Ichirou Nishimora who eventually gives up his immortality to live a normal life with the family he has waiting for him. Once Ichirou leaves, there will be no one left to take over and the clan will officially die out leaving only the three clans behind. This was the clan that was in charge of tracking down rogue vampires and the wanted criminals of their kind.

The Yamazaki’s

The third clan line that while their numbers are still high, their clan has fallen into disrepair. Their current leader is Minami Yamazaki and she is their last hope to getting this clan back up on their feet from all of the scandals, drama, and incidents that taint their family name. However, the state she is currently in, it’s not likely she’ll be able to manage that any time soon. This clan was in charge of the inner workings of the clans. Tending to their own private business such as setting up deals, meetings, arrangements, and most what people would call HR to the average person or even a clan specifically set up as the Minori’s personal assistants.

The Kuranagi’s

The final of the main clans remaining. This one's current leader is Hisato Kuranagi (Kensei’s father) and this clan is in charge of infiltrations, concealment, recovery, and cleaning up any of the messes caused by a member of their kind. From erasing records, infiltrating governing properties, all the way down to payoffs and other such things, they are in charge of making sure their existence doesn’t become common knowledge and they keep a member on the inside of every power structure in the world to maintain their control.

There is one other clan currently but they are not one of the four noble families. This clans name is:

The Nakamura’s

This clan while it holds no actual power or say in any of the work involving the other clans, is really only in charge of those hired by the clans such as servants and any other staff used by them. From maids and butlers to chefs, personal servants, tailors, and much more. They keep them in line and train them on how to beat accomplish their jobs as well as making sure they are properly tended to and kept fed since most of the staff consists of changed vampires.
