Vampeal (3.5e Race)

Vampeals

“	I thirst but not just for blood I require blood of a particular palette, like a fine wine that has been aged for centuries it must be sweet and potent	”
—Unknown Vampeal

Vampeals are one of the most ancient of races to have come into existence. When man came into being the vampeals took pity on the lowly creatures and tried to teach them about etiquette and magic. The Humans were amazed and horrified when they found that their new allies drank the blood of their foes the Vampeals assured them that they only drank of their enemies and that this was not necessary to sustaining life. However as time has proven mans lust for power caused them to turn on their new found allies and a bloody war raged for centuries.As the humans began experimenting on the bodies of fallen vampeals the Vampiric disease began to spread throughout humanity and with this new found "power" the humans pushed back the vampeals to the brink of extinction or so they thought. It was not hard for the vampeals to realize they were out numbered so they quietly slipped away into the dark annuals of history.

Personality

Vampeals are generally very courteous to any one they meet whether they be friend or foe. They do not tend to trust anyone until that person proves themselves trustworthy or at least a valuable asset to the cause whatever it maybe. They detest the taste of blood from mortal creatures and adore the blood of immortals. How a vampeal comes to obtain this coveted immortal's blood is solely up to his/her discretion.Which has lead to some conflicts seeing as they themselves are immortal.

Physical Description

Vampeals are humanoid creatures closely resembling humans/elves. They traditionally have blood red irises and silver hair although some abnormalities among the race have led to different hair and eye colors. They are stronger and faster than average humans starting from birth they appear to be in their early twenties thought some have been around since the dawn of time. When in true form the entirely of their eyes glow a blood red, their fangs become visible and they gain Dark-Vision and Raven's WIngs.

Relations

Vampeals hate vampires with a passion because the disgusting creatures have no dignity and will feed on human blood. Other wise the deep wounds humanity has left in the back of their minds leads them to distrust humans more than other races. Vampeals traditionally do not travel together however some remnants of the old Vampealen kingdoms do exist.
