Creation:
- When a half-wolf dies, it rises the next night as a Vampeal.
- When a vampire attempts to create a retainer (i.e. slave), feeding too much vampiric blood into the human's system. (Only a drop or two of vampiric blood is sufficient to create a retainer. A cup or more will create a Vampeal.)
Powers:
1.) Acute sense of smell, sight, and hearing.
2.) Strength greater then a normal human's, but not as great as a vampire's
3.) Tracking, hunting skills.
4.) Natural night vision.
5.) Can go out in daylight.
6.) Slightly faster reflexes.
7.) Enhanced healing. Wounds sustained heal faster than a human, but not
as fast as a vampire.
Characteristics:
-Slightly pale skin
-Eye color will change from their natural color to a hazel or almost yellow
tone. (When they go into predatory mode.)
-Smaller fangs than a normal vamp.
-Slight scent of garlic about them.
-Slight sensitivity to bright lights. (May wear sunglasses indoors.)
-Vampeals will age approximately one year for every TEN years they exist. (a
person who's been a Vampeal for a hundred years will only look ten years
older.)
Methods of Killing:
1.) Silver stake through the heart (because they're half-human, their rib
cages have not toughened to the same degree of a regular vamps. It is
slightly tougher then a normal human's.)
2.) Decapitation.
3.) Too much Sunlight Exposure.
Weaknesses:
1.) Cursed to never sleep.
2.) Gets sunburnt and heat stroke very easily and quickly when in direct
sunlight. (A Vampeal will get a 2nd degree burn within seconds of
exposure.)
3.) Upon creation, ALL vampeals will frenzy until they learn how to
control their new predatory instincts.
4.) Most new vampeals will undergo some degree of psychosis. Some survive
it, some will chose to end their lives.
Living Vampeals:
In some cases, a vampeal may be alive, although still being changed. In such cases, the vampeal will still have a pulse and will still breath, and also still has the same mortality as a human. Living vampeals exhibit a unique symptom of bloody tears, as well as occasional nosebleeds, and sometimes even bloody urine. The reason for this, is because the living vampeal's heart has begun to produce vampeal blood, but there's still human blood circulating in the body. This blood is being flushed out of the body, through the various ways. Once all the human blood is flushed out, the living vampeal will die and come back as a regular vampeal.
