Vampire Weaknesses
Just as vampires have their own given set of strengths they have weaknesses. Those weaknesses are as follows
Garlic, sunlight, holy items, stake to the heart, silver or magic weapons
Umbra Armor
The umbra armor is an ancient rexumbra clan technique. Using magic the user creates a shadow armor that ‘bubbles’ around the user and mimics the users bodyline, hair, and clothes making it look like the user is wearing a giant shadow over themselves. Though the armor constantly drains the user’s magic. This shadow is an armor which is 2 inches thick. This armor is not solid and objects can grow through it. The main purpose of this armor is to protect the user against light. The portions of the eyes will glow blue the darker the shadows get. This armor enables the user to be in sunlight but obviously give away any covert intentions. To be in the sunlight the user must large amounts of magic as well which is very draining.
This armor can also block damage of light spells. Since spells use magic the spells can still deal damage but the armor tends to shield the user. So depending on how strong the armor is and how strong the spell is determines the damage to the user. The user must use more magic to make the armor stronger. The armor does not have to surround the user completely all the time should the user wish it can appear over just the head, mid section or limbs. Anything that is not the user that touches the armor loses their energy, the longer one is exposed to it the more it drains. All energy drained by shadows is redirected to the user,
Umbra Martial Arts
The umbra martial art is one of two art forms created by the Rexumbra clan. This art form is the offensive type. The user can make the umbra armor solid but only for the chest, feet and hands. The armor can become as hard as normal steel since it has become solid it can be damaged. The user can extend the shadows from the hands to fifteen feet.
The user can also create shapes out of shadow. These objects will have the same density as the normal object however it can suck out a portion of one’s energy when touched by these shadow objects (this excludes the user or any Rexumbra clan member). The shadows can be used to make arms, household items or even weapons. Energy waves, Beams and blasts can be made out of shadow. Along with the normal energy drain effect these attack have destructive capabilities. Any energy drained from a being by these shadows is redirected towards the user.
Umbra Stealth Arts
A barrier of shadow can be created. The barriers size and shape is up to the will of the user. The user can create and control little tiles of shadow underneath them and these tiles can remain airborne giving the user to stay in the air should they stand on them. The user can also bellows a loud screech which can cause shadow ripples. These ripples have the energy drain effect and can cause confusion and nausea among living organisms. Lastly the user can merge with the darkness around them. Their body loses its color and sight, essentially becoming invisible. The user can also fuse with shadows, even a persons shadow. The user can dwell in that shadow as long as they wish and can even stay in the objects shadow in the sunlight. The user can dwell inside the darkness of even inside another living being and aide that being with the users abilities.
History:
Malus was born into a noble vampire clan in Thebas. He was born into the Rexumbra clan which meant King of Shadows. The clan took pride into being the darkest vampires of being one with the shadows. The clan has been around for thousands of years. Malus was born almost six hundred years before the current timeline. Vampire youth grow fast into a more mature look but then stay young forever. Malus was taught that as a vampire and even more important as a noble that he was superior to most and few were equals, if any. This stuck with him. He indeed did view the lower forms of life in Thebas as inferior to him as he grew up. His family seemed to have a respect for the liches in the city so he showed his respect as well. He however found liches inferior as well. He found them as disgusting creatures desperately trying to cling to life.
He grew into the standard haughty vampire view of life. He liked art, social parties they all fancied him. Around being near 50 years old the clan decided he was old enough to begin to learn the secret clan techniques. The techniques were special dark arts that have been passed down for a great number of vampire generations. Malus studied and practiced hard to uphold the Rexumbra clan’s expectations of being perfect. One night at a social gathering around when he was nearly a century year old he heard the other vampires mocking the mortals, another word they had for humans. He never knew much about humans except that they were the source of his meals and what vampires originally were. He didn’t say anything to those mocking humans, but after that his curiosity on humans grew. He never thought much on them because he only thought of them as food but he decided to learn more. To vampires humans were just prey that loved to be sitting ducks. He found them interesting because the other vampires didn’t.
He looked up many archives about humanity. While the others mocked humanity for their famines, disease and war, he pitied them. He kept the research and his new found liking of humans secret. There was no such thing as a vampire that liked human rights, yet he was becoming that very thing. He often left the city saying he wanted a meal which he didn’t lie fully he still had to feed. He believed he might be the only vampire that felt sorry for draining human blood. Nothing could be done though he needed food. It was no different from humans keeping livestock for food. His true reason for leaving thebas at times was to observe the humans. He saw many things such as suffering, sadness and strife. He however saw things that him sure why he liked humans, unity. The families that manage to stay together in tough times on optimism alone. They had great optimism for peace and happiness. He found that particular trait charming about humans.
He would return to Thebas after a feeding so others wouldn’t get suspicious. He always got chastised for going out of Thebas because it was unbecoming of a noble. He learned if he said he did it to take down a few mortals and mock then he would be exempted. He didn’t partake in pleasure mocking humans so others would respect him. Soon he found all the parties and most vampire culture boring. He’d much rather do things that involved humans. He kept his secret and made sure not to be suspicious. He still attended dances, art exhibits, trained to learn the arts of the clan. He became a well respected member of the Rexumbra clan. Two centuries passed, he mastered the Rexumbra arts, he still enjoyed watching humans and he was bored. He bought a few estates outside of Thebas as vacation homes. It was quite normal among vampires. However he mostly lived in these homes and hardly in Thebas. He was a bored humanitarian vampire with nothing but time on his hands.
One day he noticed a shift in the human world. This hadn’t happened before so he found it intriguing. The stamarian empire. As if seemingly overnight all major cities in zailleon were under the name of stamaria. He watched them closely to him this seemed like a declaration of war to the world. Small wars between cities and village he witnessed. This was however many cities united as one. He could’ve been wrong. He wanted to be wrong. This stamaria kept expanding its borders. Its intent was obviously to control everything. Then it began at last…rebels naming themselves korin. He figured somebody would rise against stamaria but it took too long in his opinion. Humans were truly interesting. Most vampires that got news of this didn’t care. He just couldn’t side with Stamaria. Their hunger for control disgusted him. He finally had his chain of boredom unshackled. His found a new purpose and it was to help fight back against Stamaria. He knew that now. He ventured around meeting several individuals who want the same thing. Currently Malus is working is hard at the cause to do anything he can.
Miscellaneous:
Some of the abilities I took from the monster archives. I tried for the most part to put them in my own words. Some lines looked really good and I couldn’t put it into another way and was just copied from the thread.
