Vampires

General Overview

There was a village that lived near a mountain range. In 678 BCE, one of the children went exploring in one of the caves on the mountain side late at night. The child ended up getting lost in the cave and cried out for help. This triggered the bats and one of the bats attacked the child. This bat fed off the source that provides magic to the world. When the child’s family found them, he was bleeding out. The doctor told the parents that the child's chance of survival was slim and to pray for the best.

The family turned to forbidden blood magic, giving the child the blood of a pig to try and heal them. It worked but at a cost. The child could only feast on the blood of animals and humans. Over the years, the child learned that they could turn others into vampires by allowing them to drink their blood after the child fed on them.

Vampires can be any age, sex or race. When they are about to eat, their eyes turn blood red as their fang protrudes. Their skin becomes dull and sickly when they have not fed for days at a time, almost inhuman. Once fed, their skin returns to its “normal” colour.

Families

• House of Vasilescu. The Vasilescu are one of the first vampire families that came into existence in around 679 BC. For a long time, the family lived in hiding. They feed off the blood of mortals and move around a lot to avoid getting caught. In 1878, they traveled to the new land and made their home there with the other Vampire family. Their head is Luther Vasilescu.
• House of Matea. The Matea family were turned into Vampires in 198 BCE by the Vasilescu family. They spent most of their time in Greece alongside them until 1702. The family followed the Vasilescu to New Orleans and settled with them there. sThey created a hidden castle in the swamps of New Orleans, away from where the mortals are currently located now. The castle is home to the family and the other vampires who have pledged allegiance to the family. Their head is Yvonne Matea.
