Biography
Vampires are a type of monster in the Anaxverse as well as undead. As seen in the novel, Desideratum: Blood Bonds, vampires in the Anaxverse are collectively known as the Nightbred. Nuit’s corruption of human blood works similarly, to some degree, as that of other demons from the Outer Darkness. Being a goddess more aligned with the night and death, her minions walk a line between the living and the dead. However, while her curse affects the spirit and is spiritual in essence, blood is a physical corporeal substance native to the Physical World. Like all genetic material in this chaotic place, every time a vampire forms, there stands a chance for mutation within their strain. Oftentimes, on these rare occurrences, the afflicted vampire obtains a singularly useful ability- perhaps to shape-shift or to sexually reproduce. In some cases, due to circumstances in a given area or population, a vampire strain might spread like wildfire. It could also be that people of certain descent and DNA might be more prone to become particularly affected by strains of vampirism.
Within the Anaxverse, there are many different vampire types, often referred to as 'strains'. In many cases, the strain of a vampire is passed on to the human that they convert, but not always. In some cases, mutations can occur. However, others are created by certain means. For example, Mortem vampires happen regardless of what strain bites the fresh corpse. And in other cases, there are vampires of a kind, but not Nightbred. An example of this would be a Gjenganger or a Revenant. Such non-nightbred vampiric undead are looked down upon as savages and animals to the Nightbred vampires. While new or undiscovered vampiric strains may exist, below are some of the most common actual vampires.
