Scintilla

Origins

Scintilla originate from the future generations of half or quarter vampires, leaving them with trace amounts of vampiric blood that through training are able to awaken some supernatural abilities of their origins, typically being minor regeneration and a single super enhanced sense, such as sight, taste, hearing, touch, or smell. at level 5 they gain Minor regeneration. At level 6 the player is capable of choosing 1 supernatural sense, each with their own unique effect

Physical Description

They appear mostly human but have pointy ears.

History

Much like the common human they are constantly evolving, and so their more intricate histories are muddled and difficult to follow. Human history that occurs while they still possess a humanoid form is typically common knowledge, but the more ancient history is fuzzed with debate and discourse. History before the humanoid form is even more difficult to follow and if any information is known of it, it is not open knowledge.

Society

As they aren't usually different from humans: scintilla take to social places like any other human race, rarely being picked out from the crowd

Scintilla Names

Male: Joe, Terry, Dante, Tyler, Michael

Female: Victoria, Cynthia, Pepper, Michelle
