Dhampir List

Dhampir


Vampire People (Half Vampire). A spawn of a Vampire and a Human harboring both of their traits, whilst losing the weakness to the light that Vampires once had, becoming a 'Half human, Half Vampire'. They have an openhearted personality, which is the polar opposite of a vampire. They don’t look down on humans, and they honestly express their fondness of them through their interaction. They are able to hide their vampiric nature and do not need blood to survive, thus making them widely accepted (or perhaps, unknown) in normal settlements.

Their appearance is extremely close to human, and they possess demonic energy that gives off an aura similar to that of a human. Although they have vampiric powers and tendencies, they also have basic common sense and human values. For that reason, it’s extremely easy for them to conceal their true nature and behave like a human without anything feeling out of place. Many dhampir prefer to live in human towns, anyway, and rarely (if ever) attack them. OF course, from their heritage, they are born with supernatural capabilities and intellect, and will exhibit strange powers beyond their control in their youth, though as they grow older, they harness this power to their advantage.

The demonic energy that the dhampir possesses robs strength from vampires almost like sunlight, and has the power to steal away their reason, and capacity for thought in the same way that garlic does. Most of them fundamentally view things from a human perspective. For that reason, they despise vampires who act arrogantly and look down on humans, and it infuriates them when humans are mistreated as servants. Furthermore, if such vampires are around, they’ll use the magic power and superior physical strength inherited from their parent to vanquish them, and through discipline and training, they’ll correct their arrogant, stubborn personality and hopefully change them, and if not, will kill them. They often have to kill their own parents because of this. After that, many of them journey as “vampire hunters,” vanquishing vampires while living lives as humans, never revealing their secret unless it is to someone that they truly trust will accept it.

Furthermore, they are sometimes attacked by the urge to suck blood which is inherited from the vampire, although they normally endure through it. The reason why, if they happen to learn the sweet taste of blood, the “human” part of the “half human half monster” dhampir becomes corrupted by the “monster” part, and after that, they can’t resist future urges to suck blood at all, or the lust that visits at the same time. Though, of course, with training, this can be corrected even if they do taste blood, as it indeed does strengthen their powers.
