| Inheritors Author: Larae | A belief within the vampire community that the vampiric condition is brought about through a genetic mutation. Those who espouse this belief take a very scientific view of vampirism and feel that every aspect of the condition could feasibly be quantified and explained if given enough serious scientific study. Those who believe in vampiric inheritance feel that the mutation is passed along from parent to child and upon it as something, which makes vampires distinctly different from ordinary humans. Those who believe in the inheritance theory suggest that true vampires existed at some point in our distant past, and that they interbred with humanity. With this paradigm, however, it can be deduced that as the line gets more and more watered down, the characteristics of vampirism will become weaker and weaker and weaker until they are lost altogether. Inheritors feed upon blood, life-energy, or both. |
