Vampires

There are two types of Vampires in the Changeling universe: Natural and Infected.

Natural Vampires
Vampires are one of the oldest known Paranormal species. Their existence dates back nearly as far as humans. Vampires appear, in some form, in the mythology of nearly every ancient culture. Little is known about their beginnings, but some speculate they originated on the other side of what we now refer to as The Divide - a metaphysical barrier that separates the human realm from paranormal realms.

Though not as prolific as humans, Vampires are capable of reproducing naturally. Unlike the Vampires of legend and lore, real Vampires are not weak to garlic or religious artifacts.

Vampires are, however, weak to sunlight. They do not burst into flames or turn to ash, but are incredibly photosensitive. Natural vampires require very specially formulated ointments and creams to protect their sensitive skin from the harsh UV radiation of the sun, and must always wear eye protection when outside.

They need to consume the blood/life force of living creatures. Vampire are capable of eating other food, but derive very little nourishment from it.

There are at least two confirmed types

Sanguine
They need to consume the blood of living creatures. Because they must survive on an entirely liquid diet, natural Vampires are born with a shorter digestive tract and three stomachs.

Infected Vampires
Vampires infect humans by injecting a supernatural venom into their bloodstream at the time of biting them. This venom behaves similar to a virus, causing a series of physiological changes in the victim.

Though depicted as crazed predators in fiction, most infected Vampires actually have far less difficulty controlling their blood lust than natural Vampires.

They usually attribute this to the fact that, as humans, they were expected to practice self-control in nearly all aspects of their lives. It's quite easy for them to carry this over into their new lives as Vampires as well.

Though they experience some of the natural vulnerabilities of Vampires, such as weakness to sunlight, to a much lesser degree, infected Vampires are also not gifted with the same level of enhancement to their senses and physical capabilities.

The legendary regenerative abilities of Vampires also manifest in a much weaker form.

They also have a longer lifespan.
