  The Upyr
  The upyr is not to be confused with the upior, upir, upor or the upier – which are separate vampire species found in surrounding countries. The upyr is the main vampire species in Russia, but with Russia being so massive, the legend varies from region to region. Looking like a normal person, the upyr is active between noon and midnight. It attacks people in their homes, going after the children first and then moving on to the parents. It drains each victim of his blood, and, using its ironlike teeth, gnaws into his chest so that it may consume the heart. In fact, the teeth of the upyr are possibly its greatest assets. The upyr is able to rise during the day and sleep during the night. It has a fairly normal human appearance, so it is able to blend in with human society. To discover where the upyr's grave is, she must, if at all possible, attach a string to a button on its clothing as it flees the scene of one of its attacks. Then, a person can follow the string from the spool of thread back to its grave. Once there, the ground must be completely soaked in holy water and the upyr must be staked through the chest to keep it in its grave, but the stake must be driven through in a single blow or the vampire will rise again. Another method of destruction is to decapitate the vampire and burn its corpse to ashes
  
  

  Pros Semi-Immortality Vladamir will forever stay young, and not suffer the ravages of aging. Physically, he will always be in is prime. Supernatural Condition Due to his supernatural status, Vlad has exceptional agility, combat skills, durability, endurance, senses, speed, stamina, and strength. Regenerative Healing He has the ability to rapidly heal from any physical injury, to a certain extent. Things such as limbs or organs cannot be repaired. Bat Swarm Form Vladamir is capable of taking on the form of a bat swarm, though it is only used as a last resort. Day Walking Due to his sub-species, Vlad is more than capable of being out during the day, as that is his prime hunting time. Compulsion Vampires everywhere are able to persuade others to bend to their will. Thanks to his age, he is quite good at it.

  Cons Wooden Stake Ash, Hawthorne, or Oak wood must be used for the best effectiveness, and it must be driven through in a single blow, or Vlad will rise again. Decapitation This is fatal to almost all supernaturals, but to ensure that it remains, the body must be burned to ashes afterwards. Silver Silver of any variety, even down to sterling silver, will burn his flesh, and can be used as a means to restrain him. Garlic While not fatal, it will make Vladamir violently ill, and weaken him significantly. Invitation The man cannot cross the threshold of a house without being invited in, but that doesn't mean he won't try to compel his way in. Running Water He has an irrational fear of crossing running water, and will go out of his way to go around it, just to avoid it.

  Misc • Vlad can father dhampirs. • Vampires he sires will be regular sanguine vampires, though they will be day walkers. • Eyes glow red when angry or feeding. • Literal psychopath. • Antisocial Personality Disorder More to come as he develops!
