Chapter 5

Stains of Time

The first archetype is Lust. Lust vampires came from the womb of Lilith, the mother of all demons, which was a succubus, the bride and whore of Satan himself. Lust vampires are the most beautiful and seductive, their advantage is easily seducing people into doing their bidding and cannot be easily resisted. Their disadvantages are being narcissists who obsess over their own beauty. They have urges to rape humans if they hunger for blood for too long, especially in their dreams. Their prototypes have the main disadvantage of lusting for power, literally, and they know how to get it if they put a bit more effort into it. Their weaknesses are holy water and the cross.

Pride vampires who came from Ambrogio’s blood are the archetypes who have an inferiority/superiority complex, and are manipulative, and think anyone below them as lower pawns who can just be sacrificed for the “greater good” in their perspective with their god complex denying their accountability for their mistakes. Their advantage is the way they can easily influence people with their charisma and appeal and get people to submit to them their bidding. Their prototypes being “Luciferians”, which are the enlightened versions of Pride vampires, who are the complete 0pposite. However, their disadvantage is being aloof to society and being anti-social. They are the edgy teen-like vampires who think they know too much about the world and are against the world for how society treated them before their awakening, so they are likely to snap at any moment and cause an atrocity. Just like a psychopath = archetype, sociopath = prototype. I don’t need time to explain the differences, google it. Their weaknesses are silver, and the sun. They have no reflection in the mirror, because mirrors are made in silver. The rest of the types don’t burn in the sun. Although they have the compulsion to not be able to enter an abode without an invitation.

The Wrath who were Satan’s spawn since the fall of Adam and Eve that rebelled against God, are vampires are rebels who are hard to reason with, they only can be reasoned if it seems lawfully good or chaotic good, but if it’s lawful evil or sacrificing anything or anyone that could result in their selfish devastation for the better cause for everyone, they go rampant wild. But they are the most potent, strongest, and deadliest types of vampires. Their prototypes are the chaotic good who do anything unlawful for the betterment of other people, human or vampire, like stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but they will do anything that is good even if it breaks their current clan’s rules or portraying disobedience and are not afraid to speak up for the truth. Both of these types have anger issues I must say. Their weaknesses are holy grounds such as the church, or any area that is blessed. But they can’t be repelled by people who use the cross for protection if they are hypocrites unless they are true to their religion.

Gluttony vampires are those who came from Strigoi Vii, one of them was the vampire “Count Orlock” from the movie Nosferatu are the ones who have an addiction to blood rather than taking it for sustenance and for their survival. These types would be the ones that take any drugged or intoxicated human and drain them without self control and are likely to kill anyone they drink from. But they make the best assassins that are patient enough to go for contract missions that go in for the kill for the price of blood, literally. They would refuse any other payment other than blood, they are the quietest and stealthiest. They are likely to have tons of blood bags in their fridge. Their prototypes are younger and weaker versions of them that are hungry-power for vampire blood instead of just human blood. Human blood doesn’t satisfy them enough until they get to drink vampire blood that gives them more power. Their weakness is garlic, if they accidentally drink blood that has garlic in their bodies that hasn’t left yet, they will start vomiting and cause vertigo onto themselves.

Greed vampires who are cursed from the opening of Pandora’s box by Zeus’s curse that caused disease and evil when they used to be in harmony, are those who are extremely wealthy, the aristocrats, “human” politicians that govern places in the human world and are very good with business and persuasion. They can convince literally anyone to be on their side to do their bidding in exchange for payment, and most likely their servants are just humans that protect, serve, feed, and do anything for them in exchange for high payment in cash. Their prototypes are those who started poor and are thieves, very good at pickpocketing, breaking in, and have the mindset of a criminal, once the prototype gets good in crime, they can be drug lords or high ranking members of the mafia. But their weakness is being unable to break an oath or any promise they make to people they care about, vampire or human. Their weakness are people who are truly good and pure, and they’re not able to feed from such.

Sloth vampires are unknown from their origin, but legend says that they sold their soul to the devil for knowledge and power and passed down their gifts to their vampire children, are the ones who refuse to do orders or anything, but they are the smartest of the entire kind, they may be lazy, but they know how to get everything done if they put their mind into it just once and it would give a hundred percent succession rate. The prototypes are the ones who refuse to do anything at all, but anything that interests them or a hobby that they enjoy would make them extremely hyper-focused on the subject or task if only it interests them. Their weakness is somewhat an attention deficiency all the time but they have no other weaknesses, which are weak in combat, to vampires and especially hunters.

Envy vampires are unknown from their origin, but some rumour that they were the ones who had their vampiric parental figure disappeared or broke up with them by the same influence and never knew what they can do without their vampire parent. They could be any of these archetypes but they never knew their parental figure. They are the types who are lovers and hopeless romantics who would do anything for love without the idea of sexual actions, but the thought of a serious relationship is their very own idea of what blood is. Their disadvantage is never feeding on anyone they do not like or people they hate. They are charismatic, swayful, seductive, and extremely passionate and romantic. However, they are emotionally dependent vampires, if they are lonely without a lover, they die faster, but they can always find a way to find a human lover until they marry by turning the person into a vampire. Their prototypes are easily-jealous, overprotective, and possessive vampires who abuse their lover in all levels, but they still have the same advantage as the archetype. Their weaknesses are humans exclusively who have all the wealth, power, or even a loved one. Anyone who has valuable materials would cause them a breakdown and could trigger them to let out their inner demons and not be able to show sentience.

The Archetypes are the powerful vampires who came first in the olden days, while the prototypes are the ones who were turned into the modern days, depending on the age of the vampire that turned them and how long they have been around.

And now we have The Hidden Ones, which are supposed to be killed on sight by the Vampire Council, which have all traits of every archetype and prototype that is too powerful for them to bear, they go absolutely insane. Some rumour in the vampire society they develop multiple personalities regarding different archetypes, but some say they are still the same person, yet they just seemed like different people each and every day. It would take years or decades for them to finally master their vampiric abilities until they finally become sane enough to be mentally stable.

And I am a Hidden One, but I was reborn as a vampire again by my master, who is a Pride vampire that is slowly turning me more of a psychopathic than a psychotic.
