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.

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 driven into a corner rose up in revolt. The Red Moon lasted a total of three days. Within the first night, one country was obliterated. Within the remaining two nights, three more countries were damaged beyond the point of recovery. When the Red Moon finally went down, the Blood Queen and her kin abruptly withdrew and hid themselves, waiting until the day when humans forget about them entirely.

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

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.

Red Moon
Once, there was a time when the color of the moon turned red and lasts for three whole days, during which the sun did not rise and it is not yet known what caused it.

When this happens, the powers of the vampires and their minions are increased drastically. It also increases the vampires urge and desire to drink blood. In the previous Red Moon, the Blood Queen Elisabeth along with her followers managed to obliterate an entire country in the first night.
