♰︎Vampires and Hunters♰︎

Typically, this is a group of people who either have a leader or not, but who listen to those of higher rank. The higher the rank, the smarter, stronger, and generally more respected the hunter is.

Types of ranks: — 1st rank — newbie, from 0 to 3 vampire souls. — 2nd rank — experienced beginner, from 4 to 10 vampire souls. — 3rd rank — experienced, from 11 to 20 vampire souls. — 4th rank — expert, from 20 to 30 vampire souls. — 5th rank — master, from 30 to 40 vampire souls. — 6th rank — elite, 40 or more vampire souls.

Vampire souls are small, translucent, red orbs that appear after a vampire is killed or dies. They can be used to resurrect a deceased vampire by infusing the orb into any human.

Not everyone can become a hunter. First comes years of training and learning about vampire weaknesses, then holy baptism.

Holy Baptism is the ritual by which an ordinary person becomes a vampire hunter. They are given a hunter's badge, which, if the hunter dies, sends a signal to the headquarters where the hunter is registered. Initially, the badge is gray, but as the hunter's rank increases, the color changes. Also, after Holy Baptism, a small red number "0" appears on the hunter's wrist, representing the number of vampires killed—the vampire's soul.

Dog Tag Color. The dog tag itself is silver, medium-sized, slightly smaller than the hand itself, and resembles a shield (🛡️). On each side is a colored stripe that changes color depending on the hunter's rank. Beginners have gray, experienced beginners have yellow, experienced hunters have red, experts have blue, masters have purple, and elites have black.

In the event of a hunter's death, the token is placed in the coffin with him, and the color of the token turns white.

It's impossible to turn a hunter into a vampire due to the rite of holy baptism. However, there's a 50% chance it could happen if the hunter is bitten by an original vampire.

Every hunter has their own signature weapon. This could be a revolver, a dagger, a blade, a crossbow, an axe, and much more. Vampires cannot touch a hunter's signature weapon; they will get burned, just like from silver.

Vampire Magic: "Magic" is a crude term. They don't cast spells or wands. It's a practice that relies more on the vampire's own abilities. That is, improvement of energy and strength.

Some covenants and practices:

1. Enhance the vampire's physical strength—become even faster and stronger. Develop the ability to withstand sunlight. Resistance to silver in small doses.
2. Improving the vampire's mental strength - enhanced ability to read minds, improve memory, know unfamiliar languages, telepathy at a distance.
3. Blood Purification - allows you to purify your blood, and if you were a mudblood or two-blood vampire, you will be able to purify your blood and become a pureblood. This practice is considered the most difficult, lengthy, and painful. Purifying one's blood can take centuries, and it's also extremely painful and taxing, both physically and mentally. Statistics show that out of 10 vampires who decide to embark on this practice and begin purifying their blood, only about 2 will complete it. The rest will either lose their minds, give up, or, in extreme cases, die. Vampires who have successfully purified their blood and become purebred are called "the Purified."

Sun jewelry is the name given to any jewelry enchanted against the sun's influence on a vampire. These are typically rings or signet rings, but some wear pendants and charms, and in rare cases, bracelets, chokers, and earrings.

Silver jewelry is the name given to any jewelry enchanted to weaken the effects of silver. So, if you stab a vampire without silver jewelry with a silver knife, their powers will be weakened, their regeneration will be slower, and they will be easier to kill. However, if the vampire is wearing silver jewelry, their regeneration will be the same (good) after being stabbed with a silver dagger, and they will still be difficult to kill.

Not every vampire has jewelry, because such jewelry is difficult and expensive to obtain.

Killing a Vampire: Several options:

1. Drive an aspen stake into the heart.
2. Weaken with silver and burn.
3. Through ritual (difficult).

3. When approximately 24 hours have passed since the bite, the converted will physically feel hellish pain throughout the body, and mentally - complete devastation, as if he feels how life is slowly leaving him.
4. When the pain subsides, and it will last for about an hour, the heart of the convert will stop and he will seem to ‘fall asleep’.
5. The converted person will sleep for about several days before waking up as a vampire.
6. After the converted awakens, they will feel a hellish desire to eat, not just food, but blood. They will be wild, uncontrollable, and the only thing they will do is try to find their first victim to satisfy their hunger.

Flocks and communities: A group/pack of vampires belonging to a specific group, with a leader and subordinates (deputies). The difference between groups and individuals is that individuals are often feral, out of control, or simply want to live by their own rules, while a group has its own hierarchy, with a leader who assigns tasks, oversees the entire group/pack, and ensures that vampires don't attack humans or mindlessly turn them into vampires. The leader sets the laws and rules, and the group obeys them. Most often, the leader is a purebred or original vampire. The leader is usually called the group's father, founding father, or by name, or whatever the leader chooses to call themselves.

Groups/flocks are also divided into several groups:

1. Narvas are those groups/packs that have a law prohibiting killing and converting people without the leader's permission. Simply put, they are alegitimate. Such groups have signed a peace agreement with hunters and are not attacked.
2. Harms are those groups/packs whose main rule is to convert or kill as many people as possible. Simply put, they are deranged vampires who have practically lost control of themselves. Hunters hunt them.
3. Marais are those groups/packs that practice vampire tomes, precepts, and, roughly speaking, "magic." They often attack humans for their blood.

Vampires are mythical creatures that are depicted in the folklore and mythology of various cultures as vampires, that is, creatures that feed on the blood or life energy of living beings.

It is not known exactly where the first vampire came from, but it is said that a witch who lost her lover decided to resurrect him and led a squad, turning the dead man into a vampire.

Distinctive features from an ordinary person:

• Very light skin;
• Elongated upper canines; — Eye color with a tint of red; — They live for several centuries;
• Very fast; — Quick registration only if the wound was not caused by something made of silver; — They feed exclusively on blood (human or animal), and regular food makes them sick; — The sun makes me feel sick. — The Walking Dead; — The body is cold; — Forever young;

Weaknesses:

• Sun; — An aspen stake through the heart will kill a vampire;
• Silver;

Transformation: • There are several types of vampire:

1. The Originals are those who are considered to be among the first vampires (usually they are already 800-1000 years old).
2. Purebloods - those who are born from both vampires (both parents were not turned into vampires, but were already born as vampires).
3. Double-blooded - a child born from a vampire and a human (if the human is a woman, she will die during childbirth, since giving birth and carrying a child from a vampire is physically difficult).
4. Mudbloods - a child born from one or two parents who were turned (that is, the parents were turned into vampires, and were originally human).
5. Transformed - those who were turned into a vampire by another vampire. • How the treatment proceeds: Not every vampire can turn a person into a vampire, but only an original or pureblood, or in rare cases, those who have one pureblood parent. Leaking:
6. After the bite, nothing will happen for the first few hours and everything will be as usual.
7. After approximately 10-12 hours, the bite site will begin to itch and become itchy. Mild dizziness and nausea will occur.
