Arcane Vampire (5e Race)

Arcane Vampire

<

Origin

Arcane Vampires Originate from over-exposure of Magical Energies. While most would just go Berserk and rage havoc onto any they see, there too are a selected few who survive this endeavor and come out Stronger than ever, tough sadly any who have survived such a thing have lost all their Memories, basically starting a New Life. After the Memory Wipe only the basic alignment and their main Language is within their Minds.

Physical Description

An Arcane Vampire has the same general look as the Race which they Originated from. Tough their Skin is so Pale that it's almost like that of a Ghost, their Ears are pointier, their Eyes now have a tinge of Red inside of them, they are lean and have blue lines on their Body coursing with Energy from the Magical Energies which they had to face.

Society

As they are created through Magical means and not through a Vampire they don't fit into the Hierarchy of the Vampires, which is why they live mostly secluded doing what they love, which may Vary as it could have happened to anyone. Even though they didn't come into existence through another Vampire they are still seen as one from both Sides.
