Vampires (Chinese: 吸血人 xixuèren: blood-drinking people) are sentient beings native to Earth with the unique ability of efficiently drawing Qì from the blood of other living creatures, healing them in the short term and granting them an increased lifespan in the long term.
History
Origins
The vampires of Earth are descended from the Nodics, who made an outpost on Earth's moon shortly after the Adamic Era and occasionally visited the planet for closer study. Although political tensions between the government of Nod and the tribes of Earth were so high Nodic researchers are instructed to not to interact with humans unless absolutely necessary, some Nodics fell in love with humans and vice versa and ended up having children together, whose physiology gradually evolved generation after another to fit the conditions of life on Earth.
Biology
The distinguishing feature of vampires are their fangs. Unlike those of their Nodic ancestors, the fangs of earthling vampires are retractable, allowing vampires to blend in human society for centuries before being fully accepted as a sentient species and granted equal rights.
Vampires have a paler complexion compared to the average humans of the same race. This, coupled with a unique pheromone they excrete from the skin and their generally willowy physique, makes them attractive in the eyes of humans and other sentients. At first, this was an adaptation to help them find sentient prey. However, as vampire and human societies become practically inseperable, these adaptations have been used for purely reproductive purposes. In addition, drinking from a sentient requires the consent of said sentient in most countries, as drinking from a sentient without consent falls under assault if non-fatal and murder if fatal.
