Vampirism

Vampirism is a type of infliction that makes its inflicted crave blood. There are many variants of vampirism, and craving blood is the sole component of every variant required to deem them a vampire. Generally, vampirism inhibits fully-fledged vampires from generating their own blood.

Ailonta Vampires
The Ailonta Vampires are inflicted by bite, and those bitten become eternal servants to their inflicter, their master. To be inflicted, one must be alive at the time of the bite, though it is possible to die and be resuscitated between being bitten and actually manifesting your vampiric qualities. Generally, Ailonta will bite around two people to become their thralls, and feed off of those two thralls for the remainder of their life. Thralls are incapable of dying as long as their master lives, and are restricted from drinking blood until the death of their master, thus functionally being fledgling vampires with limited power. When their master dies, the thralls become fully-fledged vampires. Generally, Ailonta have an innate knowledge of blood magic and heightened senses. Ailonta are distinguished by their enlarged fangs.

Remori Vampires
The Remori Vampires are the 'nobles' of vampirism, as their production of blood is never inhibited and thus they do not require feedings, despite cravings. They have instinctual knowledge of psionic magic and are generally the strongest variant of vampirism around. Their affliction is spread through a blood ritual, with at least six participants, including the victim, living or dead, with one vampire serving as the main caster. The main caster will share a permanent telepathic link with the victim, and generally the vampire with the stronger mind will dominate the other. Remori generally have bright-red eyes.

Ugthor Vampires
The Ugthor Vampires are made by a disease that inflicts dead bodies. They are, by far, the fastest and most aggressive, but they lack any innate magic. Ugthor must feed off of others regularly, without thralls or the ability to stave off the cravings. The disease itself spreads through bites or coming into contact with infected bodily fluids such as snot, and lies dormant in the body until death, due to the immune system being able to hold the disease off. Ugthor have pale skin.
