Vampyr
General Knowledge
It is theorized that vampyr, or 'vampires' (as humans call them), are a long distant cousin to high fae, their bloodline having adapted and evolved to survive an iron-filled world (at the cost of blood consumption). As such, they are not highly regarded by denizens of Faerie, but they aren't outright despised like humans, either.Attributes
A vampyr looks very similar to a human, but their appearance is as unnatural as it gets, as they are supernaturally attractive in order to draw in prey. Their eyes can vary from a natural golden-brown color to red, though some have human-colored irises due to mixed heritage. The true way of distinguishing a vampire from other races is their retractable fangs which, at first glance, resemble regular human canines. They extend further when threatened or hungry. It is also not unusual for a vampire to live long lifespans, living centuries. As for how most vampyr act, they usually adapt with the times to better fit in and avoid being outed as 'other' by humans. Older, more veteran vampires are far more discrete and can be quite immoral.

Weaknesses (Hunter-known)
Sunlight, immense hunger (they go insane), being impaled through the heart, fire, long-term isolation and neglect (insanity), and decapitation can result in bad things for the vampire. Strengths
Vampires are a type of ultimate predator within the Earthern realm, capable of surviving against any type of prey, so long as they think their actions through or stay in small groups. They're, in a sense, pack animals. Additionally, some vampires (in rare cases) can withstand sunlight without any ill effects.
