Vampyre
Vampires are a proud race of highly intelligent and almost arrogant people. Having beautiful features, a keen mind, strong sense of pride, heightened agility and a unique life cycle. Emotions are rare and limited among the vampires, they understand it but have always felt it's nothing more than a weakness. Showing emotions of any kind in front of others is always viewed as highly distasteful and rude.
Appearing slim, slightly athletic built beautiful people, with a slightly pale skin color and eye coloring mostly of red or dark gold. Slightly taller than most humans with the most common height being between 6' and 6'6". With little to no body hair besides head and eyebrows, some male vampires will spend 100's of years growing a slight shadow of stubble on their faces. High cheekbones, almond shaped eyes and long pointed ears that are more pronounced than elves. Processing keen senses of hearing, smell and sight gives them advantage on perception rolls.
Their culture is different in the aspect of their social standing being nearly the highest importance. Social standing not only measures power, influence, roles but also one's value and worth within their society. A vampire's family name is everything to them, their actions or lack of actions also reflect upon their family name. Social status being the highest controlling factor within their society. Being slightly xenophobic, they distrust any that are not vampyre and shall always keep their very existence secret from the other races. It's very rare for them to ever allow any outsider to know they even exist but it has happened throughout history on very rare occasions. When forced to deal with the outside world, they tend to have their dealings done through third parties like the different illuminati groups where questions are not asked and making sure to keep their true identity a secret at all times.
They tend to have high levels of patience while always being well-groomed. Educated, intelligent, traditional, secretive and honorable. Driven by the necessity of preserving their culture and race as a whole. Unlike the bedtime stories, they do not turn into bats and are fine in sunlight but do prefer darker environments along with being living creatures, just like any of the other races.
Vampyre Traits Age
It is said that no vampire has ever died from old age, but they do have an aging process they all go through. Their childhood is typically 100 years, juvenile for another 100 years and then usually entering adulthood around 200 to 250 years. Even a child of 50 years is well mentally developed compared to an old human. For comparison once a Vampyre reaches what humans would consider their 20's the aging process really starts to slow down to almost nothing. A vampyre around 1000 years old would appear to be in their late 20's and it's rare to see elder vampires appearing around a human age of 60 or older, which would place them over the age of 5000 years old, but they are the ones that control most of the codes for the vampires.

Social standing not only measures power, influence, roles but also one's value and worth within their society. A vampire's family name is everything to them, their actions or lack of actions also reflect upon their family name. Most Vampires lean heavily towards a more neutral standing when it comes to alignments. Size
Vampires range from 5'6" to 6'6" feet tall on average and have meso-ectomorph aka Ecto-Meso builds (looks slim and slightly athletic). Your size is Medium. Speed
Your base walking speed is 35 feet. Vampyre Ancestry You are immune to sleep, charm and any magic that would involve telepathic abilities, mind control or emotional response. Healing potions and healing magics do not restore hit points; this can only be done by consuming fresh red blood. This is also the only thing that vampires can use for substance to sustain their life force which at the very least must be done once every 24 hours. Trance
Vampires don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. Languages
You can speak, read, and write Ancient Common and Vampiric. Vampiric is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar with a high amount of detailing. Vampyre Abilities
+2 for Dexterity or Charisma / Dark vision 120 feet / Misty step as bonus action / Expertise for Perception and Stealth / Immunity for charm, frighten or emotional response.
