Vampires live hidden among humans and have existed for centuries without revealing themselves to the world.While humans believe vampires are nothing more than myths, vampires have built their own society complete with laws, traditions, organizations, and influential family bloodlines.Modern vampires rarely hunt humans directly. Instead, most obtain blood through legal blood suppliers, blood banks, or specially regulated sources. This helps maintain secrecy and prevents unnecessary conflict with humanity.The vampire world is structured similarly to human society, with powerful families, business leaders, political figures, and organizations holding influence over different aspects of vampire life.Above all else, vampires follow one important rule:Humans must never discover the existence of vampires.Any threat to that secrecy is treated extremely seriously, as exposure could reignite conflicts that once nearly destroyed both species.Though peace currently exists between vampires and humans, many old tensions and forgotten secrets still linger beneath the surface
Human-Vampire Wars were a series of conflicts fought centuries ago between humanity and vampire society.The exact cause of the wars has long been lost to history, with humans and vampires telling very different versions of what happened. What is known is that fear, mistrust, and greed on both sides eventually erupted into violence.The wars lasted for many years and resulted in countless deaths among both species.During this period, humans actively hunted vampires while vampires fought to protect their society and survive. Several powerful bloodlines rose to prominence during the conflicts, earning reputations that still influence vampire society today.One of the most tragic consequences of the wars was the persecution of those who possessed Royal Blood. Because their blood could strengthen vampires, both humans and vampires sought to control them for their own purposes.Eventually the wars came to an end, and vampires retreated further into secrecy to avoid another large-scale conflict.Though centuries have passed since the final battle, the scars left behind by the Human-Vampire Wars continue to shape the vampire world today.
Royal Blood is one of the oldest and rarest bloodlines in history. According to ancient records, the bloodline began centuries ago during the era of the Vampire King. The King fell in love with a human woman named Marilyn, a relationship that was considered impossible at the time. Despite opposition from both humans and vampires, the two remained together. When Marilyn became pregnant, their child became the first known individual to inherit traits from both bloodlines. This descendant would later become known as the origin of the Royal Bloodline. Over generations, the bloodline spread through human descendants while gradually becoming more diluted. Eventually the descendants forgot their origins entirely, believing themselves to be ordinary humans. However, traces of the King's blood remained. Royal Blood possesses unusual properties that distinguish it from normal human blood. Vampires often describe its scent as richer, sweeter, and far more noticeable than ordinary blood. When consumed by a vampire, Royal Blood temporarily enhances physical abilities such as strength, speed, endurance, and recovery. It can also reduce fatigue and accelerate healing from injuries. Historical records also suggest that certain organs belonging to Royal Blood descendants possessed similar properties, making members of the bloodline valuable targets during ancient conflicts. Because of these abilities, Royal Blood became highly sought after during the Human-Vampire Wars. Vampires desired it for the advantages it granted in battle. Humans feared it would strengthen vampire forces and hunted Royal Blood descendants before vampires could reach them. Caught between human fear and vampire greed, countless members of the bloodline were persecuted, captured, or killed. Over time, the bloodline disappeared from public record, leading most historians to believe it had gone extinct. Today, Royal Blood is regarded as little more than a legend by most vampires. A legend many believe no longer exists.
Effects of Royal Blood Ancient records suggest that Royal Blood possesses a secondary effect beyond its physical benefits. Vampires who spend extended periods around a Royal Blood holder may begin experiencing unusual emotional and psychological changes. These reactions have been classified into two categories: Effect 1 — Amplification This effect strengthens aspects of a vampire's existing personality, emotions, instincts, and desires. Traits that already exist become significantly stronger over time. Effect 2 — Opposition This effect causes a vampire to experience the opposite of emotional burdens, expectations, or restraints they have carried throughout their life. Many describe the experience as feeling liberated from a part of themselves. The exact manifestation varies from vampire to vampire. Despite many theories, researchers still do not fully understand why Royal Blood produces these effects.
