Lyrian
Lyrians are a nocturnal 'supernatural' race very closely related to Mock Vampires. They are considered generally weak to sunlight much like their blood-drinking cousins; though unlike Mock Vampires, a Lyrian will not typically burst into flames and die. They are known for carving and wearing 'enchanted masks' when out hunting or in battle, with it said that these masks can bolster their abilities several fold over by storing up energy within. They are also known for needing to consume flesh in order to stay alive.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Lyrians can reproduce like any other species through general mating; though with the same limiting factors (such as how cats and dogs can not mate to produce a hybrid). Those who are born of Lyrian are not 'true' Lyrian until they are turned through the Moon Rite Ritual. As such a person born with Lyrian Parents can be biologically human until they are near dying of old age, and then be turned. Like with Mock-Vampires, most any biological 'natural race' can be turned into or cursed into being a Lyrian.
Growth Rate & Stages
Like Vampires, Lyrian do not age naturally. They are stuck in a limbo of whatever time they were turned. It is said that they are in fact capable of aging should they allow such to transpire; however this is exceedingly rare to see.
Dietary Needs and Habits
A Lyrian requires flesh in order to stay functional; though much in the same manner that blood source truly does not matter for a Vampire, flesh source is irrelevant for the Lyrians. Also on the same note, it is said that 'living organisms with a soul' offer more value when consumed than those without (such as basic animals). The nature of this value is unknown as it does not appear to be linked to nutrition, believed to be related to how Lyrians grow in power.
Behaviour
Lyrians are known for carving masks with which they wear and store some form of energy within. It is believed to be life energy unique to the individual, unique in the same light as the design of each mask. Often a Lyrian will wear their mask into battle in order to draw out the power mid-fight.
