misc = By and large, the vampire race considers itself immortal, as do many others outside the race. However, this is in fact a myth. Eventually, the blood of the living simply ceases to sustain them, and they gradually decay. This is not a fact which is widely advertised, even amongst the vampires themselves. The young are allowed to believe that they will truly live forever, and, being young and secure in their own invincibility as vampires, will seldom make it past their fifth century. Those who do begin to approach the three millennium mark will become increasingly conscious of their own imminent demise, and will often go to great lengths to avoid it. There are few things more dangerous than an ancient vampire determined to cling to its own existence.

It's not that being a vampire comes without its benefits, though--the lifespan itself, even, is almost invariably an extension of years. These, however, come at a price. Vampires can no longer bear the rays of the sun, and will be incinerated by true sunlight. The thirst for blood forever gnaws at them, and can drive them to do terrible things if they go too long without. Some groups have rather severe allergies to things such as garlic, and the ordinarily beneficial effects of holy magics will unravel their very beings.
