Dhampyr: Children of the Vampyr

Born from a Human and Vampyr parent, the Dhampyr have the innate ability to both walk among the living and dead without suspicion. While not as powerful as their Vampyr parent, the Dhampyr carry on the Bloodline of the original and as such gain the power of those that came before without the side effects that inflict the lesser vampires and their thralls.

The Dhampyr are unable to create undead thralls of their own however, what they lack in creating a force of undeath the Dhampyr have gained in the amount of freedom they truly have. Dhampyr's have an unnatural beauty and charm about them and are easily able to walk in sunlight without any problems. The only hint of their dark heritage being their red eyes and pale skin.

Some say that the Dhampyr's first came about 820 years ago when the Original Vampyr met a human woman and fell in love. The woman soon gave birth to a healthy son and managed to retain her own life force. Many human parents, whether they are male or female do not survive the birth of the child. It is thought that the price both parents must pay for their child to survive without complications is their own life force.
