Blood Bred are a race of beings whom, over centuries of selective breeding and magical tampering, have become immune to the vampiric curse and bred to be a continuous food source for their vampire masters. They also serve as the daytime servants of the vampires. These beings were created over hundreds of years by the vampires of the dark city, Night Haven, an ancient coven who have become the only recognized and tolerated community of vampires on the planet.
Personality: Blood Bred are often distant and unresponsive. They are naturally submissive and predisposed to taking orders. During a conflict or when a decision needs to be made a Blood bred will often sit back and allow others to take the lead. As a result, most Blood bred are slavishly loyal to whomever they deem allies or masters.
Physical Description: Most Blood Bred cannot be told apart from a human except when examined with any deliberation. Their only distinctive features are blood red irises and paleness akin to their vampire masters.
Alignment: Blood Bred’s servile nature makes them more inclined towards neutrality; they do not see any action as good or bad, only an order or something that simply must be done. They are rarely chaotic because they do not usually possess the free spirited nature that accompanies chaos.
Lands: Blood Bred live in Night Haven in dormitories under the employ of their masters. When the owner of a bloodbred dies (if he dies) blood bred in his employ are often released unless there is an heir or someone to inherit ownership.
Languages: Nocturne is the language of the night and spoken mostly by only nocturnal creatures and intelligent undead; and their servants, of course.
Names: Blood Bred are named by their owners.
