[Vapiir - Children of the Vampire]

Vapiir

Manipulative, cunning and charismatics, the Vapiir may have abandoned the visceral hunting grounds of their vampiric ancestors but they have not ceased to be predators, rather now they feast upon the world of social graces.

Physical Description

Vapiir are nearly identical to the humans that they descended from but what were minor differences in appearance than are defining characteristics now. Vapiir are lean of body, their massive strength appearing more metaphysical in nature. Their faces are angular, their ears slightly pointed and their eyes are sunk deep into their pale countenance. Vapiir's hair, eye and skin color come in all variety of shades but they always appear both alluring and sickly at the same time.


Relations


Alignment and Religion

Vapiir have a natural proclivity towards having Black as their Primary color, being selfish and individualistic by nature.

Adventurers

Vapiir keep company best with those who are similar to themselves, such as rogues, bards and sorcerers. Though they tolerate the company of the likes of paladins and clerics they are more likely to manipulate them to their own ends.
