Vampires (Chinese: 吸血鬼 xixuèguǐ: blood-drinking ghosts) 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.
