General Description and Biology
Dhampiels are the progeny of the living and vampires, neither truly alive
nor dead, existing in a limbo between these states. Their bodies age to a
certain point, typically late puberty or their early twenties before
stopping, never adding another wrinkle. With vampiric blood coursing through
their veins, they are known as "daywalkers," as they are unaffected by
sunlight and can exercise their full powers during the day. Dhampiels can
consume both solid foods and fluids other than blood, allowing them to blend
more easily with living company or even pretending to be living themselves.
Though they have a quiet hunger for blood, it is more manageable than that
of their vampire kin.
