Inborn Powers and Traits
Siring and Bondage
Progeny-Sired by the draining of blood to the point of death and drinking a small amount of the vampire's blood, amount dependant on generation and age of vampire. Death occurs immediately and vampiric resurrection occurs over a period of days. If days exceed 2, chances of survival decrease dramatically. At five days, intended progeny perishes. If too much blood is drained, chosen perishes. If too much or too little blood is provided, death also occurs. Chance of Death: 3rd Day, 10% chance of death, 4th Day, 20% chance of death, 5th Day, 30% chance... chance of death increases 10% progressively each day after the 2nd day.
Blood Thralls-Slight draining of blood and giving of a larger amount of vampire's blood. Amount of blood dependant on generation of Regent's blood. Blood thralls have no fangs. They can eat food. They are quasi-immortal and stop aging and 'live until death,' but although they have weak regeneration, they can die by mortal wounds, and a painful death of blood starvation within a month without their master's blood. Blood Thralls must feed once a week to maintain their strength, they are utterly dependant on their regent's blood. They can learn three levels of their regent's powers, and up to five levels if 500 years old. The bond of thrall to regent is very powerful. Power of Bond = Roll of (Gift Level=# d6+Trait Level=# d6+Vitality Generation Bonus vs. Willpower of Thrall.
Slave Bondage-Similair to Blood Thrall but more blood is drained from victim and half a pint of blood imbues the subject as vampire performs 'Rites of Domination' over subject as his blood is consumed (by force, will or domination) by the intended slave. Blood Slaves are utterly obediant to their vampiric masters for their will is no longer their own.

Blood Bondage - When blood was taken from a vampire, would the drinker be bound to them as a thrall, the strength of this bond increased each time a pint was consumed. With three pints would the drinker's will be enslaved to the vampire. Human thralls are wholly depended on their regent's blood, and if they drink not of their bond master's blood for a month, the thrall is consumed with hunger and dies of starvation. Humans that are bonded as thralls are bestowed with some of the powers of their Master's blood, and can learn 3 levels of their gifts. They no longer age, heal more quickly, become quasi-immortal. They have no fangs. Mortal wounds end their lives, but they can walk in daylight, eat normal foods (though it will not sustain them) are warm still as a human, and are physically improved (+5 points in physical rates)

When they possess a living form, they overtake it completely if the victim's will fails to resist them.
