Vampires
From Therianthropy
Vampires are believed to be legendary, living corpses who rise at night to steal the blood of the living and can be dispelled by a variety of charms, all holy in nature. But that is only folklore. Real life vampires (sometimes called Vampire-Kin) also exist everywhere in society. These are people who could be anywhere, who have been born with cravings, to gain energy. Most sanguine vampires have donors who give their blood to the sanguines, or they consumes substitutes even though they are less effective. Psy vampires, are those who gain their energy, not from blood, but from pranic. This is a much easier way of life, as psi vampires can feed on almost anything or anyone by "skimming". Vampires are a race of people just like any other, but they are hidden, being driven away from society because of their gruesome past and history, when people would kill vampires. Vampirism is more open in society today, but is usually still a private matter, as it is not taken seriously by the population at large.

[edit] Differentiation
Vampires are generally classified by feeding method. There are two major categories of Vapires, differentiated by main feeding method, they are Psi and Sanguine.
A Psy Vampire is someone who can collect the energy without drinking blood. Energy can be obtained through touch or merely concentrating on the individual. There are several subcategories to a psi vampire, including but not limited to empathic vampires who feeds off of emotions and tantric vampires who feed on sexual energy.
A Sanguine Vampire, or "sang vampire" for short, is someone who actually drinks blood in order to obtain the energy needed. Most sang vampires get their blood from living human donors, who have been medically tested for diseases and fully consent to the practice. There is a theory that Sanguine vampires are another kind of Psychic vampire, and that they feed off blood because they either need more energy than they can get from psychic feeding or they simply do not have the ability to do so.
[edit] The "War"
There is a myth that there is a war between werewolves and vampires. In reality, there is no war, the concept was only used in books and movies such as Twilight and Underworld (Both of which lifted the concept from the World of Darkness roleplaying games), and from this, new members to the communities and outsiders assume that what is true in fiction is true in reality. In reality, the two communities are actually on generally friendly terms, and often share boards and gatherings.
[edit] Vampirism
Vampirism is a condition that can be caused by a genetic default, or as some believe a viral condition. The exact cause is unknown but in essence Vampirism is a natural inability to produce enough Energy to function normally. Life Energy, also known as Pranic/Prana, Chi/Ki, Chakra, and in the scientific community as Bio-Electric energy is what all forms of life need to survive. Vampires being unable to produce sufficient amounts naturally must take that energy from other sources most often Humans. There are two basic forms of Vampirism, Psychic and Sanguinarian. Psychic Vampires are Capable of stealing loose energy from humans without ever making contact or if they so choose can focus their intent and steal a persons "Core" Energy. Sanguinarians on the other hand feed off blood, blood has high amounts of Iron, Protein as well as Energy to which they can survive off of. There are also "hybrid-Vampires" who have managed to gain the ability to feed off either blood or energy. Certain "Inheritors" Or those Born with the condition have this ability naturally though most other Vampires have to train and force themselves to learn how to feed in both forms.
