Vampire

Follower of the Bat

Sangviteus · Lord of Fear · Light

Choose the Vampire, follower of the Bat, for a unique blend of speed, agility, and strength. These nocturnal hunters fuel their abilities with essence taken from friends and foes alike, eschewing traditional mana.

Vampires are often misunderstood, seen as the darker side of the Light classes. Progression is limited to essence gathered, not experience. But this class is fierce and rewarding in its own right for those willing to accept the extra challenge.

Is that you?

"I don't bite... hard." /Grins/

Early Access! These skills are purposely vague because I'm purposely lazy. Or... (and?) because I need the flexibility to change skills if the story calls for it. Take what's here with a grain of salt. I would sooner break continuity with this here fine website than make the story worse.
