Vampire

Vampires are one of the races in the world of The Eminence in Shadow.

Most vampires are extinct, and only Elizabeth and her clan remain which they live in the Lawless City. After "Red Moon" Incident, Elizabeth and Mary are the only living vampires.

Appearance
Vampires look like humans, but they have red hair, red eyes and sharp teeth, Sometimes they tend to have pale skin.

Background
According to Mary, vampires were once the dominant species of the world, preying on humans as livestock. However, all of this changed when the humans discovered their weaknesses: sunlight, being pierced through the heart, and their need for human blood. As a result, humanity ended up hunting vampires to near extinction, with only a handful of powerful individuals surviving.

Red Moon Incident
On the night when the "Red Moon" rises, the vampires who had been cornered rebelled. The Red Moon lasted a total of three days. On the first night, a country was devastated. In the remaining two nights, three more countries were damaged beyond recovery. When the Red Moon finally set, the Blood Queen and her kin abruptly withdrew and hid, waiting, until the next moon, causing the humans to forget them completely.

1000 years later another Red Moon appeared, Crimson revived Elisabeth to use its power to subdue humans again but Shadow intervened before tragedy struck.

Category and Classification
Vampires, as far as is known, were previously classified as one of the most dangerous monstrous and magical races in the world, possibly occupying third place of all of them, only below Dragons and Demons. But when the humans discovered their weak points and what they were, their ranking dropped very drastically, becoming easy prey, even for the civilian part of the public, who did not exercise magic as such, dropping to almost the last positions of threat.

But although they were almost all eradicated, they are still a deadly danger to the public, and their terror and power can come to light again, when the Vampires are under the enhanced effects of the Red Moon, they become beings, practically difficult to kill, that can even represent a threat, perhaps, for a Dragon, and mainly, for a country itself.

Vampiric Dexterity and Ability
The main ability of vampires is their inhuman strength, also a vampire that has lived longer and sucked a lot of blood is even stronger than a normal vampire. They also have an improvement in their 5 normal senses, especially vision, hearing and smell.

Some vampires are even faster than humans or other vampires, and this ability depends on the vampire's lifespan and how much blood the vampire has sucked.

Night Vision
As a vampire, they have the bat's ability to see in the dark, which helps them see their prey closer and farther at night.

Vampiric Regeneration
They have the ability to naturally heal normal wounds, from cuts to lacerations, which makes them immune to normal diseases of nature. The highest-ranking vampires can regenerate more highly, fatal wounds, from limb amputations to losing the head, as long as the heart is not destroyed and while there is time to heal the wounds in his body.

Vampire Curse
Turn humans into Ghouls, or in another vampire

Vampiric Immortality
Being vampires, they are practically eternal, as long as they are fed properly, they can remain physically forever and be partially young.

Red Mistform
Mystify is the ability to turn their body into mist. Only High-class vampire can use it.

Weakness

 * They die when their heart is pierced. Their astonishing regenerative abilities made them feared as immortals, but they can no longer regenerate when their heart is destroyed. This fact lent great strength to the humans who used to fear vampires.


 * They cannot maintain their powers if they do not regularly suck blood. Vampires who go without blood for a long time end up with strength not much different from normal humans. Their very race requires them to coexist with, and never annihilate, humans.


 * They turn to ash upon being exposed to sunlight. No matter how strong the vampire may be and how weak the human may be, anyone can kill a vampire by making use of sunlight. There are any number of methods, such as setting traps or destroying their homes. Thus daytime became the execution ground of many, many vampires.

Known Individuals

 * Elisabeth
 * Crimson
 * Mary

Trivia

 * According to Beta words, they suspect that the vampire curse of her blood has a certain similarity with the curse of Diabolos, but that is not yet known exactly, since according to Mary, this is blasphemy against her vampire queen, since she and yours are sure they have nothing to do with it, even Aurora herself said that vampire blood and demon blood are different from each other.
 * To this day, it is not known if Elisabeth was the first vampire as such, since although according to Mary and her family, they clarified that Elizabeth is the most powerful parent of her kind, they never completely said that she was the first vampire as such.
 * While the phenomenon of the red moon, also known as the bloody moon, occurs every 1000 years, in the world of "The eminence in shadows", in which this phenomenon lasts 3 full days, where the sun does not rise, in the earth (real life), this phenomenon only lasts every year and a half, and lasts only a few hours, while the moon turns red, at an average level, (4 years in total, for it to appear again, in the same position from one country to several).
 * While in the light novel and manga, the protagonist Cid Kagenou said that he had never witnessed a red moon, he had not even seen it, this does not mean that it has not occurred. Most likely, because he was so indulged in his training and his desire to be the eminence of the shadows, he did not pay attention to the moments that arose around his life.
