Improved Strength and Speed:
Vampires possess strength and speed much higher than that of a human, complete with incomparable grace, a different sort than the animalistic fluid nature of lycanthropes. Older vampires have greater power and speed than younger. Vampires often seem much faster than they truly are, however – with their mind tricks, they can be across the room in what seems like an eye-blink.
Improved Senses:
Vampires new and old possess senses much greater than that of humans. Even the newly dead have better hearing than most dogs, and their sense of sight is much greater as well. However, they do not have a sense of taste as they cannot ingest food.
Heightened Endurance and Resistance:
Vampires are resistant to many things Wounds dealt by silver and lycanthrope/vampire claws and fangs, however, will heal with near-human slowness. Damage inflicted by fire and holy items backed by faith, such as crosses and holy water, cause permanent scarring.
Mesmerization with Eyes:
With direct eye contact, a vampire can mesmerize a human, hypnotizing them. This is illegal according to human law. This can be done to keep a person in temporary stasis (called mind-rolling), or have lasting effects, giving the vampire control over the human until the vampire is killed. It can also be used to cause short-term memory loss. While crosses and other holy articles backed with faith can push back vampires, they are useless if a person is mesmerized into removing them. Even other vampires can be mesmerized with direct eye contact. Animators, necromancers, sorcerers, and alpha lycanthropes have partial or full immunity to this ability. Note, this ability must be requested by the MotC or the Queen before you can use it in a specific rp. Place requests (upon the time of needed during a specific rp) under the Requests section.)
Rotting
Vampires descended from Morte's line are rotting vampires, who can only be killed by fire. Physical blows or their own will can cause them to rot into piles of pus-filled oozing flesh, which can be reformed into their usual forms even if they are torn to pieces. Despite the sickening appearance, there is no smell of decayed flesh. A master vampire of this line can cause another vampire of this line to rot against their will – much like an alpha lycanthrope forcing another to shift against their will, a very painful process.
