Vitae Information & Beast: We draw out energy from the Nutrients in the human blood and are able to convert this to utilize our full capabilities. In other words, we are able to use the body’s maximum capabilities. The muscles do not produce Lactic acids so it will not cause fatigue or tiredness. This plays a main role in a vampire’s strength. The vampire can feel weakened if they do not sustain enough blood energy. To gain vitae, you must feed on the living and drink the blood that circulates around their body. Using the blood energy, a vampire can channel the vitae to areas of the body that enable movement. By channeling enough Vitae into those areas, you can strengthen the body. A vampire has no blood circulating near the surface of their skin this causing the vampire’s skin to be dry and pale. For this reason, they are extremely vulnerable to fire.
What is the basic use of Vitae:
Allowing a vampire to move their body
What is the beast:
The beast refers to the innate [Natural/Inborn] predator that awakens in each vampire upon his or her embrace. If a vampire is in extreme threat or violence, the beast can take over the vampire and throw them into an animistic state known as “Frenzy”.
What is the Embrace:
It is the process of turning a human into a vampire. |

Torpor & Vessel Information
If a vampire over uses his/her energy it can lead to a temporary state known as “Torpor”. It is more akin to a hibernation.
What is Torpor:
Torpor is a coma-like state that vampire's are thrown into. This means the ability to move, talk, even think or process rational thought is gone. Torpor usually occurs when a Vampire is faced with a wound too large to heal and have lost a significant amount of blood for their bodies to handle. The body would shut down any unnecessary processes that are no required in order to sustain energy and keep the Vampire alive. A vampire could also fall into Torpor should they not drink in a long time. Usually the individual would die should they not have someone close at hand to aid them.
What is a Vessel:
The Vessel is the body that a vampire uses. The Vessel is made up of bone and flesh making it extremely fragile and delicate. It is what a vampire operates using. If the Vessel is destroyed, the vampire is considered dead. |

Siring & Healing
Siring
A female vampire cannot get pregnant as the body does not produce what is required to make a baby. Although a Vampire could replicate the reproductive organs, It is anatomically impossible for a baby to survive in the Womb. Vampire's gain no nutrients from solid foods and so the baby would have no source of nutrient. If a Vampire was to replicate the Organs, for a male it would be considered "shooting blanks". The only time a female vampire can get children would be through siring.
A vampire must drain a human to the point of death and then feed the Human with the Vampire's own blood. A chemical found in the brain called Dimethatryptamine is released at the point of death. This chemical is said to ease the transition between life and death. However, in actuality if a healthy Human was to be fed infected blood their body would reject it. The immune system would fight off the foreign body like another. It is only when a Human is in a state of desperation does the Vampire blood incorporate into the system and the Human use it as a life source.
It will begin the process of changing the body and thus making a newly sired vampire. During this time, a lot of changes will take place. The individual will gain full control of the bodily processes and be able to redirect energy that's gained from feeding. This is known as "Vitae". A Vampire is considered dead although the heart does remain beating with the sole purpose to transport Vitae around the area of body it's needed. If a Vampire was to only do normal day to day activities, the heart is not needed to sustain the individual.
Healing
Vasoconstriction. A vampire must draw blood away from the area by constricting the blood vessels. This reduces the flow of blood coming from the Injured area.
Platelets. This is triggered by the Enzymes leaked from the torn Blood Vessels. These blood cells clump together to form a plug over the wound and sealing it.
Clotting. The proteins in the blood would join together and make a Fibrin net. This net is produced in response to bleeding and is the major component of the blood clot. The net holds the platelet plug over the injured wound and the bleeding would stop completely. Eventually the fibrin plug becomes a scab and will fall off.
