Offspring, Birth and Dhampires

Sex is just as desirable and effective as a vampire as any other race. However, very few pureblooded vampires have been even conceived in millennia, and fewer have made it to birth. Those that have were killed within days as the hideous, deformed monsters that were delivered went feral within hours of birth, and were unable to be pulled out of that state.

The virus that makes a vampire who and what he is mutates every time a new spawn is created. The virus adapts to the host body even as the host adapts to feeding the virus. It becomes a part of the host’s genetic structure, as vital as the code to breathe. It only stands to reason, then, that any offspring of the vampire will have that same virus. In dhampires, the effects of the virus is lessened by the presence of the other race’s DNA. In purebloods, however, both mutations of the virus would be present in full force and trying to feed off the same blood. The result is an insatiable hunger in the child that can never be quenched.

In female vampires who get pregnant, the requirement goes up to feed the baby as well. If she is carrying a dhampire, it is of little concern as the hunger can be sated. If the child is pureblood, however, her requirements go through the roof, and she will most likely spend nine months making everyone within sight very uncomfortable, as suddenly they may well be her next meal. For this reason alone, most pureblood pregnancies are terminated within a month of conception.

Few dhampires exist simply because most of the time the pregnancy is unwanted. Those that are born are usually to mothers of other races. During the pregnancy, the mother of these type are very weak, as the fetus feeds off her blood. If the dhampire makes it, she will never be as strong as their vampire parent. The dhampire will take most of its other parent’s physical traits, although many have pale skin and stunted fangs. Dhampires live about a thousand years, and still have to feed off blood. For half-breeds, it’s once a lunar month. Any other fraction of this would need to feed more or less, depending on how much of them is vampire.
