[Species] Undead

Life expectancy: potentially immortal

Appearance:
Vampires look like the race they were befor they transformed. This can be human, elf, humanoid, (merpeople / dwarves?). They usually have a slim physique and very pale skin, withe or even greyish, without any colour in it.
Their hair and eyes have the colour they had befor. Though after they drank blood, their eyes glow red. for a few hours. They have pointed fangs and they can grow their fingernails into sharp claws.
Vampires don’t age and they can’t grow fat.

Language:
Vampires speak the language, they spoke before they became vampires.

Information:
Human, elves, humanoids, shapeshifters, skinchangers, mermaids and aquarii are the only creatures who react to the vampire virus and can be turned into vampires. Other races suffer from a bit and can get deadly infections but they will never become vampires.
Shapeshifters and skinchangers don’t loose their abilities, after becoming a vampire and because of that, there are vampires who can shapeshift or change skins into an animal.
To be transformed into a vampire, a person not only has to be bitten by one, but all blood has to be sucked out of the body. The body dies, but the virus binds the soul onto the body. Bodily functions like breathing, heartbeat or digestion stop. Hair or fingernails stop to grow naturally, but can be influenced by the vampire.

No one knows exactly where the first vampires came from. The original vampires, the lamia, probably developed from fae or nymphs about 30’000 years ago. The first vampires probably came into being by coincidence, when lamia bit humanoids, humans or elves, who transformed into vampires.

Similar to revenants, the bodies of vampires are technically dead and wouldn’t work without the vapire virus. But the poisson stops the body from rotting. It also heals wounds very quickly. Little cuts and scratches can be healed in seconds, bigger wounds or broken bones can heal in a few hours.
Since vampires don’t have their own blood, they need to drink it to survive. The longer they can’t get blood, the weaker they grow. Their skin gets greyer and becomes haggard until they start to look like a mummy and wounds don’t heal anymore. If they go to long without blood, they fall into a coma until someone else gives them blood and wakes them up.
Vampires have the same strenght humans have. There is a myth, that vampires turn into monsters with superhuman strenght by night or when the moon shines. But that is superstition.
Though it is true, tha a vampire is the strongest right after he has drunken blood. In the few hours after drinking they can be stronger than usually.
It also depends on whose blood they drink, since diffrent creatures can have diffrent effects on vampires.
Alcohol has no effect on them, but the blood of nymphs and angels acts like strong alcohol to them.

You can become a vampire in game if you are a human, elf, beastling, mermaid or aquari. But you have to consider that you may loose points and that vampires can not use magic.

Lamia are the original vampires. They were born as vampires and never mortal. They are probably a mutation from fae or nymphs, but nobody knows where or when exactly they appeared first.
Most lamia are arrogant and view themeselves as a superior race. They are usually quite brutal and don’t feel empathy.
Lamia also feed on blood and can’t function without it. But their bodies are not bloodless. Insteas a thick, black liquid runs through their vein, like rotten blood, which they call fenogaràyn or unblood.
Lamia created the first vampires from beastlings, humans and elves, but that happend rther by accident when they drank all the blood from their victim. Lamia scorn vampires just like any other race. They prefer to speak in the old speech and converse to each other only therein.
Unlike vampires, lamia can have children. It is very important to them to keep their lineage „pure“ and they only mate with other lamia, hence they are all related to each other.
Today there are only very few lamia left.

Life expectancy: potentially immortal (or rather they are already dead)

Appearance:
Ghosts are the souls of the dead. They look like they did, when they were still alive, that is like a human, elf, dwarf, dragon, merpeople, beastling, celestial or fae. But they are slightly see-through and seem rater pale and plain. Sometimes ghosts take on a specific colour and seem to slightly shimmer in that colour, or all colours beginn to fade and they appear greyish or whiteish.

Language:
Ghosts speak the language they spoke when they were still alive.

Information::
Ghosts are the souls that left their body after they died, but weren’t able to pass into the realm of the dead. Every person can theoretically become a ghost after they die, except nymphs, who don’t have souls and phoenixes who can’t die.

Ghost probably exist sind the first fae exist. Since Ghosts break the cycle of life and death, they anger Jeevan, the god of life as well as Khea, the goddess of death and are often targets to Astraia.

Since they are already dead, ghosts don’t have any bodily funtions like heartbeat, breathing or digestion. They don’t have to eat or breathe. Their body remains like it was when they died and they can’t change it, which means they can’t change clothe or cut their hair.
Ghosts always float a few centimeter over the floor. They can’t interact with anything physicaly. They can’t touch or pick up things. Other people can walk through them and they can walk through objects, even walls. But they can materialize for short amounts of time which gives them a solid body and the ability to touch things and walk on the ground.
Like all undead, ghosts can not do magic, even if they could befor they died. But all ghosts can use telepathy.
Ghosts can be killed for good with special methods by astraia, witcher or nergals.

You can become a ghosts in game if you want. But you have to consider that you may loose points and that ghosts can not use magic.

Djinn are ghosts who are bound to an object by magic. That can happen through a curse either befor they died or when they are already a ghost. A Djinn is trapped and is under control of whoever owns the object they are bound to. They have to obey their masters command and can only be free if their master willfully sets them free. If the object a djinn is bound to changes hands, the new owner becomes the new master and the old master looses all control over the djinn.
It doesn’t matter if the object is sold, gifted, lost and found or stolen.
A djinn can be recognised by the chains around his ankles, wristes and sometimes neck.

Life expectancy: potentially immortal or rather they are already dead

Appearance:
Revenants are souls bound to dead bodies. They look like they did, when they were still alive, that is like a human, elf, dwarf, dragon, merpeople, beastling, celestial or fae. Their body is rotting very slowly. Hence they have grey skin and dead, milky eyes. Their wounds don’t heal and they often have open injuries or even loose bodyparts.

Language:
Ghosts speak the language they spoke when they were still alive.

Information:
Revenants are souls that couldn’t detach from their body after they died and just continuedto live while their body slowly rots. Every person can theoretically become a revenant after they die, except nymphs, who don’t have souls and phoenixes who can’t die.

Revenants probably exist sind the first fae exist. Since they break the cycle of life and death, they anger Jeevan, the god of life as well as Khea, the goddess of death and are often targets to Astraia.

Since they are already dead, revenants don’t have any bodily funtions like heartbeat, breathing or digestion. They don’t have to eat or breathe.
Revenants slowly rot until only bones are left and they aren’t able to move anymore. They can be infested with maggots or other vermin that quicken the decay.
Revenants have the ability to change bodies. The soul can leave one body and take contol of another, but only if it’s dead and the soul has already left. This should happen after three month in the same body at the latest since they run the risk of rotting to much and not being able to move otherwise. Though the speed of the decay can vary depending on temperature,  weather or surrounding.
When changing bodies, a revenant keeps his mental abilities, but takes over the physical abilities of the new body, which are assigned by the staff, when you request a new body. You can also take over the body of an abandoned character.

Revenants can not do magic, even if they could befor they died.
Revenants can be killed for good with special methods by astraia, witcher or nergals.

You can become a revenant in game if you want. But you have to consider that you may loose points and that revenants can not use magic.

Mumia are revenants, who were embalmed shortly after they died. They are covered in linen, which hold their body together and prevents it from rotting. They usually smell like the specific scents of the balsam. Throufg magical amulets that they wear beneath the bandages, they are protected from any decay.
But it is very difficult and complicated to embalm a body, hence there are not very many mumia.
Since their bodies don’t decay, mumia don’t have to change their bodies. But they still have the ability to do it. If a mumia changes into a body that was not embalmed, he or she becomes a normal revenant.
