Vampires are an ancient and mysterious race. Theoretically, the so-called vampire can be understood as a dead body to some extent. They have no heartbeat and pulse, no breathing, no body temperature, and they are immortal. At the same time, they have their own thoughts, they can think, talk, walk, even get hurt and die.
Their power is far greater than that of ordinary people, and they have power that ordinary people can't get. In fact, in order to maintain their living conditions, they must feed on blood. Generally speaking, most vampires usually feed on human blood, but some vampires feed on the blood of animals and even other vampires. Judging from the way of smoking, some vampires will raise livestock (herds), not animals such as cattle and sheep, but some human beings who voluntarily donate blood for some reason; Other vampires will use special occasions to lure humans to achieve their goals. There are also some vampires who usually take the form of attack to force blood.
Many people think that as long as vampires suck blood, the sucked person will become a vampire. This view is incorrect. People who are eaten by vampires may die, but they will not become vampires. If a vampire intends to turn a person into a vampire, he must give his blood to the other person. The victim received the blood of the smoker, and the two kinds of blood can be fused into vampires. This phenomenon of blood fusion will give smokers a completely wonderful feeling, and this process is called "hug". After the first hug, the victim became the offspring of the smoker. According to the secret party's precepts, vampires can't develop their offspring at will, and a vampire must be responsible for the behavior of their offspring.
Every vampire has extraordinary abilities. But this ability is not innate. Young vampires have almost the same abilities as ordinary people. But with the growth of age and experience, vampires will gradually explore their own abilities, thus making themselves stronger. Theoretically, the older the vampire, the stronger his ability. The ability of the third generation vampires can even be compared with God. In front of these vampires, ordinary people are vulnerable
Many sources believe that vampires are afraid of many things, such as garlic, holy water and wooden stakes. Most of these rumors are incorrect. What vampires fear most is sunlight. Some powerful vampires have weak resistance to sunlight, but no vampire can resist sunlight. In addition, high temperature has a certain restraining effect on vampires, so vampires usually act at night, because daylight and high temperature during the day will seriously affect their thinking and ability. Besides, vampires are not afraid of garlic and holy water. If someone has extremely strong religious beliefs, it is possible to temporarily suppress vampires with crosses, but vampires will never die. Similarly, stakes have no effect on vampires, but if you can nail a vampire's heart with stakes, you can temporarily paralyze it until it is pulled out.
In fact, vampires themselves are not evil. After a person is hugged for the first time, he usually retains his humanity. These people will think that they can move and live freely as before. But at the same time, he began to be afraid of sunshine and high temperature. Can't go out during the day. He will feel his strong desire for blood. He will find himself living in the blood of people around him. These ideas are so strong that they are completely out of control. Gradually, his way of thinking and behavior will change. A vampire will try to resist his behavior at first, but in the end, his nature will prevail and he will gradually get used to the new way of life. Finally, he fully understood that he was no longer an ordinary person. He is usually far away from the bustling area, living alone and not in contact with anyone. Because of my constitution, I won't get old. They will live in the world, witness the changes in the world around them, and witness the death of their relatives and friends. And he can only feed on blood and life day after day. The human beings around him are just weak creatures, and they have no reason or need to respect and care for human beings. They despise human beings and are very jealous. Finally, they became demons.
So are there vampires or monsters? This will start with the origin of vampire legends, but it is interesting: when looking for relevant information, I found the origin of two vampire legends with completely different views. One thinks that there are no vampires in the world and provides corresponding data and evidence; Another thinks that there are vampires in the world, and also quotes the same information as the former to illustrate this view. Here, I will post the legends of these two "vampires". Interested players can take a look and distinguish some subtle differences between the two.
Any tragedy has its origin. Like the history written by human beings, vampires have their own history, although most of them belong to legends.
The earliest origin of vampires is said to be Cain in the Bible. According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden and went to the wilderness, where they gave birth to many children. Cain is the third oldest person in the world. He is a farmer and lives with the shepherd's brother. Once, as usual, the two men offered sacrifices to God. Because it is convenient for my brother to graze and offer plenty of meat, Cain's radish attracts God's dissatisfaction. Cain killed his brother angrily. The next day, God asked Cain where his brother had gone, but he argued that he didn't know. God is angry, "cunning! Your brother's ghost cried to me about your atrocities, so you must accept my punishment! Cain asked God for mercy. God said, "No, I won't kill you. I know you will be spurned in the future. So I give you a distinctive sign to let others know that you don't deserve to be killed-just try to torture you. In the vampire legend hidden for thousands of years, Cain's scourge is that he must rely on the blood of the living to maintain his life, and he will never die, suffering from this curse from generation to generation. Moreover, God makes his mark visible to everyone and condemns it, which is different from the Bible. Later in the book, he paired up with Satan's lover Lilith (Lilith, first appeared in Sumerian mythology, Adam's first wife in the Old Testament, left the Garden of Eden because of dissatisfaction with God), saying that Lilith was a powerful witch and taught Cain how to use blood to generate power for his own use. Because of this, some people think that Lilith was really the first vampire.
Driven by loneliness, Gaiyin created the second generation of vampires. They have 13 offspring. This third generation is a survivor of Noah's flood. They established the 13 clan, and later rebelled and wiped out the second generation of vampires. The third code in ancient times claimed to have the power comparable to that of God. Today, thousands of years later, the bloodline of vampires has reached the thirteenth to fifteenth generations. Before the Middle Ages, vampire members, because of their special strength and immortal body, usually became the overlord of one side, and even fought for power and profit with each other, causing the fear of ordinary people. It was not until the14th century or so that the inquisition of the Catholic Church discovered the existence of vampires, and then wantonly carried out supplementary killings. Although vampires have super powers, no vampire can stop the threat of cooperation from thousands of mortals at the same time. So the survival of vampires fell into an unprecedented crisis. In order to cope with the bad situation, several vampire clans at that time (about the sixth generation to the eighth generation) had to form an alliance, so the Camarilla (secret party) alliance was born. This is an alliance faction composed of seven clans, and it is also a larger alliance faction so far. When the secret party was founded, it established six strict traditions of commandments, which required the later vampires in the league to abide by forever. The highest purpose of the whole discipline tradition is to stipulate that vampires must hide in human society and never reveal their identity, so as not to lead to the danger of vampire survival.
Machine, this is the origin of the "hermit" commandment.
Another alliance outside the secret party is Sabbat. Although each clan can join the Rubik's Cube, it is mainly controlled by two clans. The Magic Party is Camarilla's old enemy. They don't approve of isolationism. They rule with fear, force and threats. It is said that the Magic Party will bury new vampires alive, arouse their fears, and then control them with rituals and blood ties. Rubik's cube also regards human beings as inferior animals and drives them to kill at will. Secret party member usually calls Sabat "the hand of darkness".
In addition, the other four clans who did not join the secret party or the magic party usually remained neutral or acted according to circumstances in the struggle between the two factions.
