Eldhamite Vampirism

Eldhamite Vampires are unlike the common interpretation of Vampires in popular folk culture.

Firstly: Vampirism is not a disease or an infection, it is a means of immortality that was gained through the corruption of reality, it does not spread via bites. there are multiple types of vampires(each unique), Vampires are not weak to wooden stakes, garlic, or holy water you can see the types weakness in their descriptions.

Over time Vampires naturally lose their life essence and must replenish it or else they will disintegrate into nothing and even the most powerful necromancers and priests may have a hard time resurrecting them. How a Vampire replenishes their life essence is dependent on the type of Vampire it is. However, all Vampires can drink blood to renew it.

Each type of Vampire is unique and has an element attached to it. The following include the magical attributes of vampires, but is not limited to: Gadoken-Iasimancy, Arrus-Cryomancy, Tonitruum-Electromancy, Ōkeanos-Hydromancy, Infernus-Geomancy, Helithin-Pyromancy, Respiten-Animancy, Yoaken-Aeromancy. The various types of vampires can be stronger or weaker depending on the other element they are up against.

Creation
Our compassionate Mother Dimi discovered a means of immortality. A concoction of the elements so twisted it warped the laws of nature itself. This concoction was highly unstable and to stabilize the effects on subjects she created a blood ritual. These would later be known as the Vampiric Elixir and the Blood Ritual. Without the Blood Ritual simply consuming the Vampiric Elixir infuses beings with a deadly amount of elemental magic. Together Elixir and the Ritual stabilize this magic by binding it gently to the blood causing a variety of side effects besides immortality.

Depending on who performs the ritual changes the strengths of the vampire created. Normally if one type of vampire performs the ritual the same type is created, however if the being has a natural inclination to an element this can change the outcome. Mother Dimi's directly created vampires are the strongest and are known as Patrons. Patron vampires have untold of powers easily wielding magic with little to no ill effect. 2nd generation Vampires created by Patrons are still incredibly strong, but there is a noticeable decline in strength. 3rd generation Vampires is when the ill effects of the sun start to show more, types that normally are burned by the sun in 10 hours may be burned in 8 hours. Vampires can't be created lower than 4th generation as this is where it plateaus. Even 4th generation vampires can create another equally as powerful 4th generation.

History
Mother Dimi was the first vampire ever and originated from the small town of Autumn Bell. She later married Lord Pablo of the Yoaken Royal family and moved to New Yoake. During her marriage she had 2 girls Lady Von and Lady Snickee. Loving her family deeply she turned each one into the Patron of Yoaken (Pablo), Respiten (Von), and Helinthin (Snickee). Later she turned the Patron of Infernus (???) and her first grandson Bottom into the Patron of Tonitruum (Bottom).

In todays time New Yoake is the Vampiric Capital of the World where the majority of the vampires live peacefully.

Mother Vampire
Mother Dimi is the origin of all vampire types. Those she turns become a new type of vampire unique to themselves and their underlings.

Yoaken Vampires
Father Pablo is a Patron vampire turned directly by Mother Dimi. This type of vampire has blood akin to wine. A single drop or even the sent of Yoaken blood can intoxicate any mortal. Those intoxicated by Yoaken blood become infatuated with the Yoaken Vampires following their every word. Using their inate Aeromancy they can spread the sent of their blood through the air to intoxicate more people. It is commonly believed that this aspect can drive Yoaken Vampires mad over time. These are what one would consider the "normal" vampire. They consume blood, hypnotize people, and have strength, speed, and vison usually not fitting their frail appearances.

Powers: Aeromancy, Hypnosis, Enhanced Agility, Enhanced Strength, and Minor Regeneration.

Respiten Vampires
Sister Von Obby is a Patron vampire turned directly by Mother Dimi. This type of vampire has blood as cold as ice. Drinking Respiten blood veils mortals in invisibility at the cost of burning away their very soul. Respiten Vampires appear translucent and their touch can freeze even the bravest of warriors. Unlike their fellow vampires they don't need any to consume, instead, their innate Animacy allows them to bind themselves to items or structures like ghost would. This Binding gives them great powers over what they are bound to. For instance if they are bound to a house it becomes like a second body to them.

Powers: Animacy, Soul Absorption, Invisibility, Enhanced Agility and Soul Binding.

Weaknesses: Soul Bound Objects (Their own), and Holy Magic.

Helithin Vampires
Sister Snickee is a Patron vampire turned directly by Mother Dimi. This type of vampire has blood as hot as the sun. Drinking Helithin blood can heal any mortals wound, but also burns them in return. Usually it is not smart to drink Helithin blood as one will burn to ash. Helithin Vampires have inate pyromancy, but their connection to nature gives it a more of a kind warmth. Helinthin are on more friendly terms with the sun and don't feel even the slightest pain from being in it. They can choose to absorb sunlight instead of blood if they wish to.

Powers: Pyromancy, Major Regeneration, Enhanced Sight, and Sun Absorption.

Weaknesses: Unholy Magic.

Infernus Vampires
Brother (???) is a patron vampire turned by Mother Dimi as a curse. With blood as hot as lava, drinking Infernus blood can cause any mortal to see in the dark for an hour, but will make them blind for the next day. Infernus vampires are naturally attracted to dark spaces, usually caves or tunnels, the deeper the cave, the more likely you would find a Infernus vampire. Infernus vampires don't necessarily hate the sun, though they are innate geomancers and will slowly turn to stone after an hour of exposure or may even die after being in the suns light for over a day. Infernus vampires can eat normal food though blood is their main source of food

Powers: Geomancy, Dark Sight, Strength, Pyrokinesis, and Medusas Eyes.

Weaknesses: Sun, Water, Extreme Cold.

(Captainflaresoul maintains title "Patron Of Infernus" though this is not recognized by everyone, most Infernus varients were "turned" by flare himself)

Ōkeanos Vampires
This vampire type originates from a source different to all other vampires (being Mother Dimi). You can find their origins coming from deep within the ocean. An ancient Pre-Eldham cult obsessed with ocean salt’s healing properties forged a profane cleaver, capable of Turning those struck into an Ocean Blooded Vampire. These vampires possess salt-ridden gold accented white colored blood with an immense healing factor and feel a constant overwhelming call to the ocean. Ocean Blooded Vampires possess the smallest population, as the Cult’s Cleaver has been lost for many millennia.

(upon Robster’s rediscovery of the cleaver, he was dubbed the progenitor and Night Father, and thus is the direct source of all Ōkeanos Vampires, with no exceptions.)

Powers: Hydromancy, Salt Poisoning, Water Breathing, Enhanced Swimming, Major Regeneration.

Weaknesses: Extreme Heat, Dry Climate, and Pufferfish.

Tonitruum Vampires
Brother Bottom is the Patron vampire turned directly by mother Dimi. This type of vampires blood is electric as if it was struck by lightning. Coming into physical contact with their blood will result in electric shock. Even the body of a Tonitruum vampire is known to be semi-conductive. For example, if one was struck by lightning, they would survive it. Unlike the other vampire Tonitruum have little control over their innate Electromancy leading to most of their power needing direct skin contact. Tonitruum vampires can't consume blood as it is akin to poison to them, instead, they consume electric magic.

Powers: Electromancy, Enhanced Agility, and Flight.

Weaknesses: Non Conductive materials, large bodies of water, and eels.

Arrus Vampires
Half Human Half Vampire. These vampires are the failed creation of a cult who stole research paper from the Royal Yoaken Family. With the incomplete ritual papers the foolish thieves transformed Excisablefire8 into a twisted version of a vampire. Thankfully he was discovered and saved by Cinderevin who saw this as a blessing. Their hearts stop beating and their blood runs cold, becoming thick as if it was mixed with ash. Despite the appearance, their blood has the ability to heal burn wounds dur to their innate Cryomancy. In turn for the cults foolish actions they gained immortality at the cost of everything. Unlike their brethren vampires their need for blood is quite strong and they crave it more than eating normal foods.

Powers: Cryomancy, Climate Resistance, Rift Resurrections, and Sun Resistance

Weaknesses: Holy Magic, Blood Cravings, and Blessed Grounds.

Gadoken Vampire
As a protective measure when Sister Von Obby Transcended to Dimi-God Hood she wove the fabric of magic and blessed a group of those loyal to vampire kind with a new type of vampirism. Unlike their brethren vampires they are deeply protective of other vampires and virtually indestructible. They can even bless others loyal to all of Vampire kind with their blessing. Their blood is silver and heals others at the coast of turning them into Gadoken Vampires.

Powers: Mega Enhanced Speed, Regeneration, and Dark Sight.

Weaknesses: Cuts from Iron, Cuts from Wood, and Magic.

Catlyrian Vampire
Catylist Reach is a Patron Vampire with an unknown vampiric parent. This type of vampire is characterized by their telepathic abilities and their cunning, scheming nature. Their blood has a dark blue colour and unique anti-enthrallment properties. Thanks to the mischievous nature of their patron, most Catlyrian vampires use their telepathy and cunning for mischief instead of global conspiracies...

Catlyrian Vampires survive off of the blood of humanoids. While they can drink Human and various other race's blood, Vampire blood quenches their thirst significantly more. Catlyrian vampires are also completely unaffected by the unique properties of Vampiric blood.

Uniquely, Catlyrian vampires can only be created by their Patron Vampire, however can be biologically born from any two Catlyrian vampires.

Powers: Telepathic communication, Teleportation, Mind-reading, immunity to enthrallment and mind control magic, a slight immunity to non-holy magic.

Weaknesses: Holy magic, Gadoken Vampires, Enchanted items
