Lowblood Vampires
Lowblood vampires are the most common and generic form of vampires but due to their uncontrollable nature, they are often seen as pests upon the vampire and human societies. They are typically the common murderers who are captured, killed, and hunted down by hunters, angels, demons, and even other vampires. In almost all cases lowbloods are blood-crazy monsters who cannot control the vampire blood coursing through their veins. They are typically less human than any of the other vampires and are the ones that struggle with the sun more than the others. They often get confused with low-ranking demons due to their more enhanced features like their fangs growing longer and larger than most and their nails. They seem more demon-like than vampires but their uncontrollable bloodlust always gives them away as a vampire. In rare cases, they may be able to control themselves a little bit but require a lot of training and strong will.

CURRENT DAY LOWBLOODS:
For a long time, the world was filled with many lowbloods due to so many vampires being reckless but ever since the corruption happened their numbers have vastly gone down since many have died due to the corrupted beasts on top of the other races who hunt them down as well. Less human population means less food for the lowbloods thus some have died of starvation as well. Slowly they are starting to repopulate the cities that have somehow survived and started to rebuild. In the city of Tokyo, they have been starting to repopulate and in most cases are the first suspects of murder.
These days lowbloods still struggle to control their urges however there have been reports of some lowbloods who are able to control some of their urges but it seems incredibly rare and its often not long before they can control themselves but these particular lowbloods seem to be able to communicate and seem much more human compared to the monstrous forms they typically have. Even though there are some who try to hang onto their humanity they still have to struggle with those that hunt them which are many. The ones who try to blend in and survive have turned to witches and even some vampires who have sympathy towards them in order to obtain glamours or enchantments to be able to survive out in the sun. Sometimes even seek shelter and refuge from them but most often than not they tend to be very cautious of who to trust and always seem to be on the run. The world was only tough for these poor bastards and has only become even harder to live in with the corrupted beasts.
HISTORY OF LOWBLOODS:
PAWNS OF WAR
The Lowbloods first came about whenever the Purebloods were trying to create more vampires and spread their "Royal Blood" however, they soon quickly found out that humans the very species they preyed upon were not able to handle how strong blood and in most cases, they either died or turned into some sort of frenzied monster that had vampiric qualities but seemed more monstrous like their demonic cousins. These creatures were out of control and typically went on a rampage and destroyed anything in their path. Most of them were incapable of speaking and were like beasts and so the vampires deemed them as failures and branded them Lowbloods due to their inability to truly harness their vampire blood.
Later on, it was found out that lower ranking vampires like aristocrats and the such were able to make Lowbloods that seemed much less out of control and resembled humans a bit better and could blend in as well and control themselves to a certain degree however this is very rare due to their insane thirst for blood. Not only that but strong emotions would often trigger their vampiric side exposing their long fangs and nails and typically also make them spin out of control emotionally which is why in most cases the lowbloods are locked away by their owners, treated as nothing more than pawns of war and entertainment for the pits.
Many vampires who fought for power and control over land used these Lowbloods as extra muscle and shields for protection. They were treated like tools and weapons to be disposed of due to their lowly and filthy blood. Most vampires view them as insects or persistent cockroaches who really don't deserve to live but do have their use from time to time. Such is the fate of one who cannot control their own abilities and newfound strength that were given to them.
APPEARANCE:
At a faraway glance it appears that Lowbloods look just like humans but upon closer inspection you can see their more monstrous features. Typically they have long pointed teeth/fangs and long claw-like nails. Some lowbloods even have bloodshot eyes but those are typically the more feral ones. Some Lowbloods who have more humanity then others may look more normal and don't have such long and sharp teeth but their nails are harder to hide so most use gloves to hide their nails. Overall though they more or less appear to be human.
PASSIVE TRAITS
Make sure you see the overview for additional passive traits!
Powers
​
Feral Growth
・ Due to Lowbloods not being able to control their vampire blood in most cases they cannot stop their fangs and claws from growing larger than need be. It does, however, prove to be their greatest weapon. Their teeth are quite durable and have a crushing force alongside their claws being very sharp and deadly.
➥In some shape or form your character must have either super long nails that are almost clawlike or huge fangs. If you want to try to be creative as to how feral they are you can! They could just have all super sharp teeth, their eyes fully bloodshot red with slits for pupils, etc. Your call!
​
Minor Regeneration & Pain Tolerance
・ Like all vampires, lowbloods do have enhanced regeneration however it is not as strong as higher-tiered vampires. They cannot regrow limbs and most broken bones may take several days to heal. However, because of their wild out of control vampire blood, in the heat of battle, they may end up ignoring the pain of their injuries which makes them quite annoying to put down
​
Enhanced Senses
・Like most vampires, lowbloods have heightened senses by 2 times of a regular human. However, whether they can actually use them to the best of their ability is questionable due to their feral and uncontrollable nature. Certain issues or situations could hinder certain senses especially if they are badly injured or super hungry.
➥ Of course you are able to come up with your own passive ability or tweak it a bit just know we can deny it depending on if it doesn't fit the species.
​
Weaknesses
​
Self Control
・It is extremely hard for the lowbloods to control their hunger and sexual desire. A lot of the time lowbloods are just monsters who lost all powers to control their emotions and are considered bloodcrazy beasts. It takes a lot of willpower just to retain their humanity. However, there are cases of some being able to control themselves very well but it is pretty rare although… there may be experimental drugs to help them suppress that monster side of theirs but is it worth trying?
​
Sunlight
・Lowblood Vampire’s are extremely weak to the sun. If one were to go out without the blessing of a witch or warlock they will burn in the sun and die within a couple of mins. If they do have said blessing they still have some sensitivity to the sun but If they are under constant exposure they may get slight burns or skin rashes.
Servitude
・For a long time Lowbloods were used as slaves or cannon fodder and this is mainly due to the fact that they cant resist the orders given to them by Pureblooded Vampires and Aristocratic Vampires but if one has very strong will they could resist the commands of Aristocracts but sadly not Pureblood Vampires as they are just too strong. In this day of age not many vampires use lowbloods anymore for their bidding so in most cases Lowbloods have no actual masters.
​
​
Holy Magic
・Weapons imbued with holy magic or magical weapons made from witches & warlocks are quite deadly to the lowbloods. Getting hit with these weapons are almost quite lethal to them due to the magic poisoning their blood and their inability to cleanse it like those higher above them.

F . A . Q
Have any questions or want to know more about Lowbloods? Take a look below to see if any of these FAQs helps answer those questions and things you've been wondering about~! If you can’t find what you're looking for here just ping @Starlight in the questions channel.
｡･:*:･ﾟ★ How can Lowbloods blend into society?
➥・ Because of the feral features that can prove to be hard to hide in some cases a Lowblood may need to buy a glamour item from a witch/warlock in order to hide their monstrous features or bloodshot eyes. This helps them blend in better but they will also need to keep themselves in control emotionally or else they may end up in a horrible situation.
｡･:*:･ﾟ★ Who are they being hunted by and why?
➥・ Honestly probably everyone who is a supernatural creature or hunters. Lowbloods can be a huge threat to the human population and cause chaos around them. Because of their uncontrollable nature most supernaturals and even humans who have taken up arms want them destroyed because of their never ending thirst and violence. Every species probably has their own reason to want Lowbloods dead but… what about the poor Lowbloods who never asked to become this way? Perhaps some way of solace will be provided for them in the future.
｡･:*:･ﾟ★ Can Lowbloods still have some sort of magical ability/ active ability?
➥・ Yes they can! However it cannot be anything like ice powers, fire powers etc. These lowbloods are more altered physically and its incredibly hard to use the vampire magic in their blood if the person who turned them could even use magic. Stuff like enhancing one's strength or growing longer claws seem more common and likely but if one were to have a magic ability it may be as minor as poison coming from their claws/fangs. If they do have a stronger magic ability/power it would be very difficult to control and may cause them to go into a frenzy and lose state of mind.
｡･:*:･ﾟ★ How are Lowbloods created?
➥・ There is 2 known ways of lowbloods being created. A long time ago it was first discovered that when turning humans into vampires that some were not able to handle such strong blood and so instead of keeping their humanity they lose it and become an out of control monster who only desires the blood of others.
In order to turn a human into a vampire they must be near death and have vampire blood in their system as they die. Then they shall become a vampire but sometimes they end up dying due to the painful transformation.
2nd way to end up as a low blood as if an aristocratic vampire for some reason was not able to control themselves and degraded down to a lowblood. Not many know how or why this happens but most seem to think its because they decided not to feed on human blood or just stop feeding all together.
