You wake up as a vampire lord, a creature of blood and night. Your body is void of true life, only sustained by the false-life of undeath.
You cease to age and retain eternal youth as a vampire and possess an incredible healing factor. As long as you are able to consume blood, you are able to regenerate from any number of normally fatal wounds. Were your heart or head be destroyed, however, you would perish. You are able to pass on your curse onto someone if you kill them while you feeding. You can chose how strong they will be between 20% and 80% of your own.
Your physical abilities outstrip that of a normal human in every way by four to five times. You have a number of abilities such as the ability to transform into a swarm of bats, hypnotism, improved senses, and so on.
Under the light of the sun, your abilities are lessened to almost nothing and your regeneration is severely hampered. Your are highly vulnerable to weapons of divine origin and pure silver.
