Dhampir
Basic Information
Anatomy
Dhampirs are usually seen as "sickly" due to their evident lack of weight. No matter the color of their skin, they'll appear to be paler than normal humans. The eyes of the dhampir are usually light in color and the inner corners of the eyes can become bloodshot at sundown and sunrise. The fangs of the dhampir are longer than the canines of humans, yet shorter than those of a vampire.
Biological Traits
Like Humans, there are good Dhampirs, who stand between Humans and Vampires, and there are bad Dhampirs; these are the ones who will hunt for the Vampires by day. Even though a dhampir cannot turn a human, that doesn't mean they cannot be turned by a vampire; the only difference would be the time it would take.
Genetics and Reproduction
The dhampir is capable of having children by either Humans or Vampires, given the fact that they are both. The typical pregnancy of the dhampir is the same as it is for a human, with the only difference being that labor goes very quickly. Dhampirs do heal more quickly than humans after birth, with almost no signs of ever been pregnant.
Behaviour
Due to the fact that a dhampir closely resembles a human, they are able to pass as one. Newborn Dhampirs will be often abandoned outside of town by their mothers and they would never speak of their children again. Some of these infants are found by kindhearted people who raise them, never knowing about their abilities. These children can become very aggressive if provoked and they also tend to try to get as much done in as short a time as possible.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
The Dhampir's abilities vary from one to another, but most have heightened speed, agility and strength. They also have heightened senses compared to Humans, to the extent that they can deduce the identity and heritage of someone just by the scent of their blood. The aging process is also much slower than that of a human, with its lifespan varying between sources. If left to live their full life, the dhampir can live up to 200 years at least. Despite popular belief, the vampire half of the dhampir is more of an energy feeder than blood feeder, with the only real known weakness of a dhampir being precisely this ever unquenchable thirst.
