Psychic Vampyrism
A strain of vampyrism that does not require direct intake of blood for sustenance. Those afflicted by this strain lack the stomach chakra, therefore have no natural means of energy production (note that this is pranic, or life, energy and not based on food consumption) and subsequently are required to draw energy from other sources. Often shortened to “psy-vamp”.
Characteristics:
No physical traits present, but sometimes the eye color will be unique and unusual to those of strictly human race.
Often very attractive to others.
Lack of stomach chakra.
Heightened senses and awareness.
Above average speed and agility, yet not to inhuman levels.
Well-suited to energy manipulation.
Sometimes may see auras.
Well-informed psy-vamps are governed by a specific set of rules, but some choose not to follow them.
Sub-divisions:
Elemental psy-vamp: Draws mainly from natural earth energies. Sometimes referred to as “druids”.
Ambient psy-vamp: Draws from residual energy in the environment around them. Often found in densely populated areas due to the abundance of energy. Sometimes referred to as “club-psy”.
Tantric psy-vamp: Draws from sexual energies. Takes in their partner’s energy in the act of fornication. Sometimes referred to as “sex-psy”.
Pranic psy-vamp: Draws life energy (prana) directly from another sentient. Sometimes referred to as “predators” due to the reputation that most Pranic vampyrs take energy without consent.
Energy Manipulation Techniques:
Shielding - Something anyone that is versed in energy-manipulation must know. Basically protects one’s energy from outside influences.
Laying of Hands - Direct physical contact between persons to transfer energy.
Tendrils - Use of one’s aura to reach out to another’s and syphon energy without physical contact; this takes much practice and concentration.
Hand Signs - Hand shapes used to assist in the tendrils technique; requires less concentration than without, but makes the user’s focus more obvious.
Astral Projection - Projecting one’s astral body out from their physical form. Oftentimes used to travel from place to place sans physical means; note that one cannot influence anything or anyone, it is merely to see.
Other Information:
The terminology preferred by those afflicted is vampyr, not vampire, and to relate a psy-vamp with a sanguine (blood-drinker) is a large insult.
Also, 'normal' humans have many abilities that they are unaware of; energy manipulation, for example, so these traits and powers are more so collective than singular because other non-psy-vamps may have many of these same characteristics.
NOTE::
This is not a species, but an affliction to a species. I.e.: humans may have psychic vampyr traits and still not be psychic vampyrs.
