What is your Bloodline?
The Blood Veil is dominated by six vampiric bloodlines. Every bloodline has their own powers, curses and roles in the Veil. What type of vampire are you?
Dracul
Passionate, determined, and powerful, Dracul is the bloodline of emperors, freedom fighters, tyrants, and kings. With the power to twist vampiric blood, their own and others, Dracul have always been the natural leaders of vampire-kind. Yet, their power over their brethren breeds resentment. And in the struggle for what a Dracul deems is right, they may not notice the knife hovering behind their back.
Lamia
Charming, glamourous, and stylish, it is no surprise that the Lamia have managed to infiltrate human society so effectively. Disguised as celebrities, artists, influencers and businessmen, the Lamia use their charm and mind control to build an entourage of loyal thralls to do their bidding. But while surrounded by minions, can a Lamia spot their true friends?
Nosfar
Cursed to be twisted into monsters, eventually succumbing to madness, the Nosfar are the doomed bloodline. Yet, they do not let their eventual demise get them down. Nosfar are unfailingly optimistic and friendly in the face of their persecution, living life to the fullest despite the odds. Their enhanced strength and resilience, far greater than any other bloodline, helps them in this endeavour.
Secretive, enigmatic, and oh-so mysterious. The Nyxari use their power over the shadows and darkness not just to hide their whereabouts, but to become masters of the night itself. Nyxari are unfailingly drawn to conspiracy and plotting, unable to reveal a secret. They are patient, rational and intelligent. A natural mastermind within vampire society.
Quiet, contemplative, and spiritual. The Reven are connected to the dead, able to hear their voices and even raise them from the grave. This has drawn many Reven to scholarly pursuits, trying to understand the nature of life, death and what’s in between. Many Reven spend their time trying to help the voices of the dead, breeding a compassion unusual in vampire-kind.
Adventurous, wild, and existing in harmony with nature. The Strigoi can shapeshift into different animals of the night, with some even having dominion over lesser beasts. Strigoi detest civilisation, opting to live in the wilds or in small, rural homesteads. Their love of adventure means they can never stay in one place for long. Their journey never ends, alongside their hunt for newer, and stronger prey.
