------Vampires------
Vampires are beings that live for eternity, once they are bitten. THey will never age or mature physically unless they don't feed off humans, doing so sustains their image. If a vampire doesn't feed it will begin to look less human and more like a corpse. It will eventually wither away. Vampires are not affected by crosses or garlic, it is just a superstition. A stake will not make a vampire disentegrate, but it would most likely be a mortal wound. Vampires are able to heal faster than humans, and even a mortal wound may heal if they are careful. If they are wounded by silver however, the wound will heal extremely slow, and will leave a permanent scar.
------Hunters------
Hunters are humans who have dedicated their life to killing vampires. The are normally alot stronger and faster than regular humans, and they have the ability to pick out vampires. To defeat their foes they normally use a sword or blade of some type, though some have been known to use pistols or crossbows. Most of their weapons and ammunitions are made of silver, if not they must strike a huge wound to kill.
