Vampire

Information
Ref.:

Most like vampires, but have no common-name, these creatures are a race that feed on the spirit/souls of Mann-kind. Weaker Vampires just drain spirit from their targets, reducing their overall life span. The more powerful Vampires can consume a person's soul entirely, sustaining them for much longer, and increasing their power. Doing so "captures" the soul, making it no longer playable by the owner. As well, the person who lost their soul becomes a Vampire themselves. A Vampire is extremely difficult to kill, and has many of the known advantages/disadvantages from lore.

Facts

 * 1) It isn't easy to detect a vampire.
 * 2) If you do manage to kill a Vampire, however, it's permadeath for them. As well, any souls they'd consumed and hold onto are released to the Akashic Records.
 * 3) In short, Vampires are among the worst creatures in Elyria, and they are always KoS.
 * 4) Vampires are soul-less.

Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantages from the player's perspective are:
 * No adventuring during daylight hours.
 * They have to feed on Mann-Kind in order to maintain the Spirit they lack.
 * If they're killed, it's permadeath - and everyone will be trying to kill them.

Advantages

 * They never age or die.
 * They get more powerful over time.
 * They develop additional Talents as they consume Souls.
