[@Wraithblade6] this isn't a type of disease that you are born with. From what I understand, the disease seems to have begun with a sudden DNA mutation or one that developed in the body over time as the first vampire was born human and got older. Which then spread via bite. You have to have been bitten in order to get infected. You can't expect to have such a powerful disease to have spanned out for hundreds of years and expect the human race to still be in existence. It's simply not possible. You can have your character be bitten but they can't be born with the disease. That's simply not how it works in this thread, or at least by my understanding.
