Vampire

Vampires are, in general, the most powerful people in Ki. Unlike their counterparts in An, where they are an extremely rare form of undead, in Ki, vampires have become relatively common, though like the 1% before them and the nobility before that, they are rare indeed compared to the power they wield.

Though they take pains to obscure the truth surrounding what their limitations truly are vs. what is merely legend, three points are common knowledge:


 * 1) Vampires are much stronger and faster than humans and other humanoids.
 * 2) Vampires are extremely difficult to kill.
 * 3) Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, and any major urban centre you can find almost certainly has extensive use of UV-blocking windows to help allow vampires to conduct business in the daylight.
