[@Emma] what do you mean the pace of the ic? If you are born a vampire, you age normally until you're 15. Then you age one year every 25 years until 315 where you appear to be around 28 and you stop aging. Reproduction works only with your true mate regardless of gender. Halflings don't exist. Humans can be turned into vampires but it is very painful and changing lasts about a month. Vampires have to let a human drink their blood and the Vampire almost completely drains the human. The human will slowly change, their body feeling like sand paper with little to no blood in their system. They won't regain full consciousness for about two weeks until they fully die and awake in excruciating pain. They don't fully turn for another week and won't be able to keep down blood until then. By then, they are so painfully hungry most of them end up killing entire villages and end up getting killed within the last week of transformation. Draining a human completely of its blood completes the process.  Back in the day, vampires were bitten until they figured out that reproduced vampires were stronger and more pure.  The roleplay is set in modern times in the vampires maim castle in Wales. First born is taken and I'd have to look at my notes for the others but not very many are taken and humans and other vampires are available as well as the king and maybe queen. I have a list on my computer. When I get home, I will post the OOC
