DHAMPIR FACTS
Please note: Dhampir do not have to choose a clan UNLESS they are opting to be a slave or a pet. If you are NOT choosing to be a slave or a pet, then you live in human society and not among the clans. [/i][/size]
1. Dhampirs are half human and half vampire.
2. Typically, the mother is the vampire as human women aren't capable of handling giving birth to a half-vampire child. There have been some rare cases where the mother is human, but often times the mother does not survive.
3. Dhampir are generally abandoned after they reach an age where they can begin to fend for themselves as often times the mother will find them distasteful - though there have been occasions where the mother has genuinely loved a dhamphir offspring.
3. The benefits of a dhampir are that they can walk in the daylight like a human, and still have the enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and heightened senses that a vampire has - though this is to a lesser degree than an actual vampire.
4. Power-wise Dhampir are treated like Initiates - able to take only ONE basic power, non bloodline specific and this power will not be as strong as it would be for a full vampire.
5. Dhampirs have a single set of small, non-retractable or extendable fangs for aiding in blood consumption.
6. Dhampirs must consume human blood /and/ food to stay alive.
7. Dhampirs have extended life expectancy - and while not truly immortal, can live for about two to three hundred years before they eventually pass on.
8. Dhampirs stop outwardly aging at the age of 30 - then will rapidly age as they are ready to die.
9. Typically Dhampir are looked down upon by both vampires and humans alike as they don't precisely fit in with either group.
10. Dhampir can be made into a full vampire by a High Vampire only - but they can never be made into a full human (if this occurs a dhamphir will lose the ability to walk in the daylight but will gain full vampiric access to the enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and senses ability, along with other standard vampire abilities and will still be treated as initiates power-wise, though the power they had previously may be strengthened ).
11. Staking means instant death for a dhamphir.
12. If a dhampir exists within a clan - the dhamphir is likely being kept as a Pet or slave. Slave is the MOST likely but occasionally a vampire will decide a dhamphir makes an adequate pet.
13. Dhampir have a 50% chance of being born sterile. Those that are not born sterile CAN give birth as humans do - in a full nine-month cycle. Any offspring a Dhampir produces have an additional 50% chance of being born human - even if the Dhampir is impregnated by or impregnates a 'pure-blooded' vampire.
