No. Almost 4 centuries as an Elder. Probably why I was given the Councilor job.
Whatever works for you.
Can live on blood alone. Can pass on what I am with my own blood. Mostly immortal. Faster and stronger than humans. Enhanced senses and healing. Used to have the sun allergy until I outgrew it. Face it, your world got the shitty end of the vampire stick. I have no problem with Holy Ground, and don't have to be invited in anywhere. Live children who stop aging when they are full grown. Eat and drink whatever any human does, and can live off just that.
There are other sorts of supernaturals here. The policy is live and let live in you don't cause problems. A fresh start for anybody who wants one.
