===Lifespan===
Vampires do not age, as they are biologically immortal, and are capable of changing their physical age at will. 

While they do not die of old age, Silver-poisoned Vampires will eventually succumb to their illnesses, with many living up to 40 or 50 years, with even fewer living into their 60's or 80's.<ref name=":6.01" />

===Reproduction===
Vampires are capable of having children biologically, and their children are born as Vampires, although many of them die of illness at a young age.<ref name=":6.01" />

====Siring====
Vampires can turn other species into Vampires, even [[Krakens]] and [[Dragons]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/15/8-72/ Chapter 8.72]</ref>

The process of turning another into a Vampire is not a simple process, and drinking someone's blood is not enough to turn them into a Vampire.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/09/7-45/ Chapter 7.45]</ref>

===Diet===
Vampires can eat food, although they do not need to as long as they can drink blood.<ref name=":6.01" /> While blood from people has superior taste and quality, it does not actually affect their physical health, and they are capable of subsisting solely on animal blood.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/07/6-42-e/ Chapter 6.42 E]</ref>

=== Magical Qualities ===

===Special Abilities===
Each vampire is different, and won't have every Vampire power. These special abilities are stronger in some and weaker in others. Special abilities displayed by vampires are either obtained randomly for those that are sired, or inherited from the parents for born Vampires.<ref name=":8.13 F" />

*'''Domination / Eyes of Charm:''' While it works best on animals, some gifted vampires can even control people, gaining control of their minds. This can be used to manipulate them or even remove their memories. Charms cannot protect from a vampire's gaze.<ref name=":6.01" /> 
*'''Shape-shifting:''' Vampires can turn into bats or wolves, although Silver-poisoned Vampires are incapable of shape-shifting.<ref name=":6.01" />
**'''Age Shifting:''' Vampires don’t really age. They can if they want to, or even get younger. But they don’t <em>have</em> to grow old.<ref name=":6.01" />
**'''Mist Transformation:''' Some Vampires are able to turn into mist, which allows them to become intangible, near-invisible, and slip through cracks. A silver-poisoned Vampire from this bloodline are able to generate a bit of mist.<ref name=":8.13 F" />
*'''Pleasant Feeding:''' Someone who is fed upon by a Vampire will feel no pain, and will instead experience pleasurable tingling sensation while allowing the Vampire to drain them of their blood.<ref name=":2" />
*'''Classes/Levels Siphoning:''' True Vampires can absorb the levels of those who they feed from. They gain proportionally less levels to the amount they drain. The vampire can choose not to siphon levels.<ref name=":8.13 F" />
*'''Flight:''' Some Vampires had the ability to fly. Silver-poisoned Vampires from this bloodline will still be lighter.<ref name=":8.13 F" />
*'''Mist Stepping:''' Some Vampires can flit across the ground.<ref>{{VERef|10.20 E}}</ref>

===Weaknesses===

==== '''Sunlight''' ====
Lesser Vampires are easily harmed and may outright die by Sunlight, but as they become stronger they start to grow out of this weakness.

Silver-poisoned Vampires don't die when exposed to sunlight, as opposed to healthy Lesser Vampires, they don't feel well in it and tire easily.<ref name=":6.01" /> 

It should be noted that only actual Sunlight harms them, as other types of lights, like Magical Light, has no effect on them.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/07/9-43-l/ Chapter 9.43 L]</ref>

==== '''Silver''' ====
If silver makes contact with them, it burns them. If too much silver is simply around them, it will make them feel itchy.<ref name=":6.01" />

==== '''Garlic''' ====
Vampires are allergic to garlic, although it is not enough to kill them. Some even get hives just by being in the same room with them.<ref name=":6.01" /> True Vampires are bothered by the presence of garlic even if it's put away in an airtight container.<ref>{{VERef|10.00 L}}</ref>

==== '''Disease''' ====
Silver-poisoned Vampires have weak immunological systems, causing them to suffer from different kinds of diseases and ultimately die before reaching around 80 years of age. This, joined with their immortal biology, causes them to live while being constantly sick.

==== '''Starvation''' ====
True Vampires who are not well feed will start to operate on a lower level of energy and mental thought.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/22/7-60/ Chapter 7.60]</ref>

==== Levelless ====
Vampires don’t earn classes. When someone is turned into one, they lose all of their existing classes. It is believed to be a way of keeping balance, as vampires would otherwise become too strong.<ref name=":6.01" />

Silver-poisoned Vampires are not capable of gaining Classes/Levels and Skills. Only healthy True Vampires can gain them albeit different from the normal way. They can also Siphon Classes/Levels and Skills from others while they are directly draining them of their blood.<ref name=":2" />
