In the spirit of Halloween, I've decided to give some details on the 3 ranks of Vampires that exist in Aphelia.326Please respect copyright.PENANAyimq7qgGbV

> Silver Biters: Being the most sadistic of the three, they are just as fast as the other two and can appear just as enchantingly attractive. They hunt during the harvest moon where a dance takes place and primarily the men are sent to one or more towns and/or cities to bring back humans. There they commonly separate the men and women with the female vampires slowly draining the men while dismembering them. The male vampires handle the women, draining them and doing as they see fit for screams and the gathering of blood. They cannot go into the sunlight. If they do then they burn into dust like soot. Quite the painful event and hard to watch sight and to hear a creature screaming out in pain as they die. They have sharp pointed ears that look almost elf like but almost have a roughness about them.326Please respect copyright.PENANAHFN8iT9u9K

> Crimson Noble: Being the moderates of the three, they have more control and can enter sunlight, just have to be covered up. They tend to feed as they see fit but are more gentle. They can and do walk among the humans but keep covered up. If any of their skin hits sunlight they will start burning and the longer they are exposed the higher the chance they will either lose that limb, have a permanent scar or die a slow death into ash. While out and hungry, they will converse with someone and try to get them alone. Once they have succeeded, they will start making out with the prey, bite and drink what they need before sealing the wound from normal eyes with their saliva mixed with a drip of their blood. So when sealing they will prick their lip or tongue with one of their fangs, mix it with their spit and lick a light coating over the wound while simultaneously cleaning up any blood that has seeped out. When done, they lead the prey back out and depart with a goodbye. Roughly a minute later the prey will have a headache and wonder what they did for that time period while with the vampire in question. Their ears are less pointed and more soft edged but not exactly the normal human roundness, and still maintain an attractive appearance to normal eyes who are not around their kind on a regular basis.326Please respect copyright.PENANAKf2S00uDfE

> Solar Royalty: Being the most human and freely able to move about in day and night of the three, they are regarded as the strongest vampires. They have the most human looking ears and can freely move about in the sun and moonlight. Commonly they hold a place in the Nobility Rank, not often below that of someone in a position of leadership. This allows them to freely entertain humans, speak alone with individuals and even have contracts with a human or four to willingly give up some of their blood when requested by the vampire who issued and signed the contract. Humans who know this secret and are under contract are also not permitted to speak the secret of their contractor. If they do, the paper will glow, telling that vampire who has broken their deal. The breaker of the deal is found normally fairly quickly and both parties are dispatched, either by the hand of the holder of the contractor or are sent off to a clan of Silver Biters or Crimson Nobles. Either way, death is the final outcome but the way it comes is either by pain and torture or slowly as their blood is taken yet their limbs stay attached.326Please respect copyright.PENANAJqD3WjBfSP

All three kinds have heightened smell, hearing, speed and strength. They can be very silent, almost as if they are walking on wind. All three can also mate and breed normally with another vampire, human, demon or any other creature able to breed, but commonly they stay with their own kind unless one ventures off then it normally comes down to either a human or demon mate.326Please respect copyright.PENANAWPSLpxdF2P
