Cruorhomines

This page belongs to Iggylord. Please do not edit it without his consent. Cruorhomines, better known as Vampires (or Bloodsuckers by The Atomguard), are a kind of intelligent mutant living in The London Wasteland in Iggylord's Canon in the year 2291. They require human or ghoul blood to survive, and, similarly to ghouls, seem unaffected by both age and radiation damage. When a vampire bites a human, the human will become a vampire within twenty-four hours.

Description
Over the first ten years after The Great War, The Ventura family, an upper class family from before the war, were slowly irradiated into the first vampires.

Over time, others were also irradiated. Many people resented vampires, calling them beasts. Hector Ventura established The Ventura Clan, a secretive satanic cult composed of entirely vampires. When his daughter, Serana, opposed his murderous ways, and beliefs in vampiric superiority, she was locked away in the cryogenic chamber of Bunker B67. Hector's wife (who was also Serana's mother), Veronica fled into hiding to avoid meeting the same fate as her daughter.

Biology
Although they bear striking physical resemblances to humans, vampires are, biologically speaking, very different. They bear sharp fangs, used to drink blood through, and are not effected by radiation or age. They tend to be weaker at daytime, when exposed to the sun, and so tend to be nocturnal.

Vampires typically have much paler skin than humans, and unnaturally colored hair and eyes, and sometimes glowing eyes. When one becomes a vampire, they will stop ageing and will remain as physically old as they were when they were human. It is possible to be born a vampire, if both of one's parents are vampires. This is very rare, though, as the radiation that causes vampirism can also make one sterile.
