The Powers of a Vampire
Written by Rhosyn_luminestrea, added 22 April 2012 @ 04:43~*Improved Strength and Speed:
Vampires possess strength and speed much higher than that of a human, complete with incomparable grace. Older vampires have greater power and speed than younger. Vampires often seem much faster than they truly are, however – with their mind tricks, they can be across the room in what seems like an eye-blink.
~*Improved Senses:
Vampires new and old possess senses much greater than that of humans. Even the newly dead have better hearing than most dogs, and their sense of sight is much greater as well. However, they do not have a sense of taste as they cannot ingest food.
~*Heightened Endurance and Resistance:
Vampires are resistant to many things – in fact, regular bullets will hardly slow them down and will heal nearly instantly.
~*Mesmerization with Eyes:
With direct eye contact, a vampire can mesmerize a human, hypnotizing them. This is illegal according to human law. This can be done to keep a person in temporary stasis (called mind-rolling), or have lasting effects, giving the vampire control over the human until the vampire is killed. It can also be used to cause short-term memory loss. While crosses and other holy articles backed with faith can push back vampires, they are useless if a person is mesmerized into removing them. Even other vampires can be mesmerized with direct eye contact.
~*Mind-Rolling:
Through direct eye-contact if a vampire is new or through voice-tricks or sheer presence if one is an older master, a vampire can capture the mind of his/her target and hold them in a hypnotized state where they are not aware what is going on. This is a skilled art rather than a thing of brute power – elegance instead of strength. It is through mind-rolling that vampires can seem to disappear or move across large distances in an instant.
~*Flying/Levitation:
After a few decades as a vampire, most learn the ability of flight to varying degrees. Many have no control or grace, but others have the ability to glide, levitate, and fly with grace, speed, and power.
~*Stillness / Making no Sound:
Once a vampire has existed as a vampire for several decades, he begins to come into his own power. Old vampires gain several traits, such as the ability to remain perfectly still, beyond that of anything a human can achieve. They also learn the trick of smiling without flashing their fangs – it is considered juvenile to do otherwise. Because of their grace, vampires can move similar to lycanthropes, making next to no sound. Strangely enough, other undead such as zombies and ghouls possess this same ability to move without sound.
