This article deals with Vampires as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, see the Wikipedia article on this subject.

Vampires are a sub-species of human. They have the normal appearence of a human, except have two long, sharp front teeth, which are used for biting into necks. Vampires have a natural desire for & dependency on blood. Though they commonly drink the blood of wild animals, they do have a fancy for human blood. If a normal human is biten by a vampire, they die, unless they are however biten by a head vampire, in which case they themselves become a vampire. Vampires live in small tribes, each lead by a head vampire. Vampires live much longer lives than normal humans do. As well, unlike a typical human, they can only be killed by a few methods. First of all, they are nocturnal beings & higly sensitive to light, especially sunlight. Secondly, a stake through the heart will kill them. Also, vampires can be weakened by crosses, holy water, or garlic. If a head vampire is killed, his whole tribe will die, too.

Vampires will at times drink each other's blood. To them, to drink the blood of your lover is the greatest form of physical intimacy.

Vampires By Nation

Assington

From Vampires from Assington, see Assington Vampires

DemonLordEnigma

In DemonLordEnigma, a variety of vampires exist that are caused by a virus known as the Sarkarasetan Vampiric Virus. It results in the victims needing blood, like all vampirisms, and gives them increased strength, speed, and regeneration of tissues. It also gives them an effective form of immortality by editting out the shutdown commands present in cells, causing them to continue their division cycle indefinitely. However, the virus only affects adults, due to a currently unknown reason, and the victims of it are not affected by sunlight, holy objects, or the person who infected them dying. That said, Sarkarasetan vampires are still vulnerable to a wide range of ways to die that apply to Sarkarasetans. They do not have any appearance differences from Sarkarasetans.
