In my novel, vampires are seen undead immortals who posses super-strength as well as highly sensitive senses, such as smell, sight, sound, etc. Vampires heal very quickly, almost immediately, making them hard to harm. They never age any more than the age they were when turned into a vampire, although their hair and nails continue growing, like a normal corpse would. They never get worn out, although they do sleep, they don’t necessarily have to breathe, and they have a strange way of enticing their prey--humans. They are great hypnotists, making people come to them and give in to them. Also, they are extremely beautiful. But, they still have their weaknesses:
-They must sleep in a handful of dirt of their native land lining their ‘coffin’
-They cannot face sunlight, as it will burn them to ashes
-They are ultra-sensitive to heat (fire, strong florescent lights…)
-They must feed often, or they will get weak
-They cannot drink their own blood, or any other vampires’ blood, as it is already ‘dead blood’
MYTHS
Vampires do not fear holy water, crucifixes, or any other religious-related objects. Also, due to their fast healing, impalement by a stake (to any part of their body) will not harm them. They have grown to be immune to silver, although it takes a bit longer for a wound caused by it to heal…and it is very painful…but not fatal.
