Night Crawler
A Night Crawler is humanly known as a vampire. Although not all the human ideas of a Night Crawler are correct. Yes, they have pale skin, vivid eyes and are incredibly beautiful, they feed off the blood of the living with ivory fangs and prefer the night to the day. However, they do not have the ability to transform into a bat, or fly. They have the strength and speed of an animal even though they have a man's body in appearance. Each vampire receives a power at 'birth', one of the three powers, Telepathy, where they may read minds, Extra Speed, where they can outrun a normal vampire and become but a blur, or Extra Strength, where they can lift and crush ten times that of a normal vampire. These creatures of the night may walk in daylight, though they usually stick to the shadows for sake of irritation. Sun is not life threatening. Neither are stakes or silver bullets. They can only meet their end if they are dismembered and decapitated.
Night Crawlers are often vain creatures, taking pride in their immortal beauty and grace. Being usually tall and toned in appearance, with perfectly balanced features, it's not often you will find an exterior flaw on these creatures. This means all the flaws are squashed into their interior. Their personalities. They seek nothing more than to admire themselves, be admired and have all the blood available to them that they could ever need. Though this is getting more and more difficult for them, as now the humans are extinct, their main source of food has vanished also. They are all forced to take down animals. Or.. If they can't resist, they might stalk The Gifted or The Shifters once in a while. They are the closest thing to human now.
As for the continuation of their species, this can only come from turning another being. If they were to attempt and then successfully turn a Shape Shifter or one of The Gifted, the previous powers of their victim would be eradicated by the poison in their bite, and they would become vampire in whole. Females often don't have maternal instincts, and it's a good thing, for they cannot reproduce and give birth to young any way. Males vampires may mate with other species, though the outcome is often not desirable.
!!! NEW INFORMATION !!!: Turned Night Crawlers
If you are another species, the Gifted or Shifter, and you are bitten and are turned into a Night Crawler you loose all your previous species ability and inherit none of the three special vampire powers. This is a way of having two levels of class in Crawler Society, the superior powered, and the inferior non powered. Usually Turned Night Crawlers are treated badly by the superior Crawlers.
No Crawler character may be over 800 years old, this allows for the Leader to be the strongest, as special advancements come with age. Being able to create an older character may come as a prize in future competitions.
Information regarding pregnancies
Those that have been turned from Shifter or Gifted (Not human) still have a microscopic chance of getting pregnant. The pregnancy lasts longer than normal. The mother will most likely lose the baby before becoming full term or even realizing she is pregnant. Pregnancies can only be discovered by an ultra sound. If the baby is born alive the maternal and paternal instincts will kick in; though the paternal being stronger than the maternal.
Information regarding Turned Half Breeds
Turned Half Breeds that were half crawler can get pregnant. A bit more easily than normal Turned Crawlers as they did have some vampire genes in them before turning. They do have maternal instincts. If they did have an ability before being turned then it goes to full capacity upon being turned.
Those that were not half crawler will receive no ability. The only way to apply for a Half Breed is to bring it over from version 1. Otherwise you must create your own through sex, pregnancy and then birth.
