Physical Description: Vampires resemble the form they took before death, save that they are much paler now and possess long fangs protruding from their mouth.
Associated Class: The majority of vampires make good Mages, Technomancers, or Rogues. Vampire Chaplains also exist, using their unholy energy to heal themselves.
Associated Religions: Due to their status as undead, vampires often follow deities of Undeath, Resurrection, or some even revere legends like Alucard as deities in their own right.
History: Born out of humanity’s desire to become immortal, vampires were created by Chaplains looking to alter the course of history and bring a new age of everlasting beings who would be all wise and watch over the galaxy. Instead, the monstrous vampires were created, changing them into blood-sucking fiends. Even worse, those who lost their soul would become Nosferatu, an advanced form of vampirism in which the animalistic nature of the vampire takes over completely, and all they know is feeding.
In Morta IV: Vampires are treated as either an ill individuals which people wish to cure (like cancer or leprosy), or as vermin which need to be purged from the lands in order to ensure they don’t kill and eat fellow humans in a ravenous rampage. The latter case is the more common of the two due to the negative connotations of being undead.
Two of the most notable vampires include Dracula and Alucard, the earliest documented cases of vampires known to Morta IV. Many aspire to be like these two famous individuals, partially because of their popularity status and also because being referred to as their direct descendant garners pride among other vampires.
