Character name: Damon Salvatore
Description of Powers: Vampire | Increased strength, speed and hearing. Burns in daylight without the aid of a spelled ring (which he will not be giving anyone). Has to drink blood to survive (human or animal - human is preferable for maximum strength and ability) but can eat and drink normal food. Can sleep but doesn't have to. Can breathe but doesn't have to. Can control the minds of humans through compulsion. To compel, the vampire must look into the eyes of the human and will them to believe what they're telling them. This can be used to give or take memories, make someone do your bidding, calm down someone who's hysterical or make someone think what you wish them to think. This skill comes with practice. TVD vampires' fangs are not visible all the time - when they feel bloodlust, their canine teeth (and, in some cases, one or both teeth on either side of each canine) extend through the gums, causing an uncomfortable stinging pain, while blood rushes to their eyes, making the surrounding veins darken and stand out and the white of the eye take on a red, bloodshot appearance. TVD vampires can bite humans without killing them if they concentrate; although, with new vampires, bloodlust often takes over. Being bitten by a TVD vampire does not turn the victim into a vampire also - the human must ingest vampire blood and die with the blood in their system before waking up in transition (usually after an hour or two). To complete the transition, a turning vampire must consume human blood, no matter the amount.

TVD vampires heal very quickly. A deep cut would heal itself in a matter of seconds. This is at it's peak when the vampire is on a diet of human blood. Vampire can be killed with fire, a wooden stake through the heart, sunlight or having their heart or head removed from their body, otherwise they are immortal and unaging. The herb vervain is toxic to vampires and severely weakens them but would only kill them in very large and repeated doses.

All vampire myths not mentioned above (garlic, holy water, crucifixes, mirrors etc) do not apply to TVD vampires.
