Description

I added some new info to the About page of my comic. These are the vampire rules as they exist in Vampire Bites. After all, there's no One Right Way for vampires.

The average person doesn't realize that vampires exist. Sure, they're on TV and movies, and some goth kids like to claim they're vampires, but they're basically a myth. The only ones who know the truth are the vampires themselves, and the hunters. Usually, if you're not Rantz, vampires keep their identities to themselves.
Origins: How a vampire is created has yet to be revealed, but simply draining the blood of a victim is insufficient.
Abilities: Vampiric abilities manifest themselves over time and with training. Some vampires have a knack for learning them, or have natural talent without training. The abilities demonstrated in Vampire Bites thus far:
-Entrancement: The power to hypnotise mortals into obedience
-Shape shifting: The power to take the form of different animals.

Weaknesses: Everyone has a weakness. In Vampire Bites, sunlight doesn't automatically turn a vampire into dust and ash, but it does hamper them significantly. In addition, contact with silver in any form will burn at the touch, and wounds inflicted with silver weapons do not heal rapidly.
What kills vampires has yet to be revealed.
Recently, Arak's discovered a strange stone seal that inflicts damage on contact.

Society: Vampires are mostly individual creatures, but when a vampire creates a fledgling, they usually take on the task of training them. Adopting "orphaned" young vampires is usually unheard of.
There is also a group known as The Endless. They appear to have some sort of organization, and set out tasks for its members. They remain shrouded in mystery.
