 <\/p>\n

And we’ve come down to our last 10th Anniversary Question! \u00a0There were some really good questions, suggestions and comments made through out!! \u00a0I hope we were able to answer some of everyone’s curiosity on characters, how we develop storyline and other great Sylum moments.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> How did the vampire physiology evolve?<\/p>\n

A: We saved this one for last as this isn’t an easy answer. \u00a0When Sylum began it was ohh shiny Vampires. \u00a0Over time a structure needed to be added into how these Vampires worked in the Sylum Universe. \u00a0 As you know there are many different legends, myths, ideas and plot devices used for all types of Vampire stories. \u00a0Though the sparkling thing still eludes me – seriously wtf was that…<\/p>\n

Moving on.<\/p>\n

Sylum took a wide range of histories, legends, myth and science tossed it all into a blender and hit puree. \u00a0And walla – Vampires. \u00a0We used the genetic codes from other vampires to fill the dna strand … oh wait wrong movie!<\/p>\n

The main thing was taking the Vampires only come out at night to hunt the for virgin blood. \u00a0Ours walk around daylight, have jobs, relationships and really not that interested in virgins. \u00a0 Obviously blood is their main source of substance, this will never change in the ideas and lore for Vampires. \u00a0How they get the blood and where – alters with time. \u00a0Sylum Vampires also can eat food, for enjoyment not necessarily substance.<\/p>\n

Holy water, crosses, religious artifacts do not affect them. \u00a0They are not demons or creatures of the devil. \u00a0As we know many of them are very strong in the religious beliefs and continue to practice their religion well after being Turned.<\/p>\n

We did keep the myth of sexuality. \u00a0They can be very sexual creatures, and it doesn’t always tie to their Mates – but that is another Sylum Essay series that will come soon.<\/p>\n

The physical aspects of the Sylum Vampire also had to be figured out. \u00a0How does the body work? \u00a0How does digesting the blood work? \u00a0What is enhanced? \u00a0What can or cannot be healed?<\/p>\n

We relay some of this information through stories showcasing the Clan Doctors as they would be studying the Vampire Physiology for generations. \u00a0 A few things we’ll point out here to get an idea of how it all works.<\/p>\n

When a Vampire is Turned, the Vampire Gene wraps around the DNA structure that exists freezing that person in time. \u00a0So any injuries for ex: \u00a0House and his leg, Logan and his back, Al and his amputees. \u00a0These stay the same. \u00a0They are not healed suddenly. \u00a0Now the vampires makes it easier to live with, less pain, the muscles stronger around the injured area, etc…<\/p>\n

This also works with being nearsighted or farsighted. \u00a0 If you needed glasses before hand you would after. \u00a0 If you were on that verge of needing glasses and was Turned it’s likely when really tired or haven’t fed in a while, the glasses would be needed – for example Nico when extremely tired pulls out reading glasses which is a big warning sign to Warrick the boy needs sleep.<\/p>\n

If damage occurs after being Turned, the Vampire gene will heal it. \u00a0 The age of the Vampire, level of injury will contribute to how long a Vampire will take to heal. \u00a0 The only injury a Vampire cannot come back from is beheading and severe fire – think burned at the stake.<\/p>\n

The fangs are the most important part for a Vampire. \u00a0It’s how he get his blood. \u00a0They\u00a0need to heal, replenish etc… biting works the fastest. \u00a0They can swallow via mug, which will help but for best options – biting. \u00a0The fangs work in a way that blood will go straight into the blood stream, and work through the system. \u00a0Drinking it via cup – works through the digestive system. \u00a0IV\u00a0can work when Vampire unable to swallow or bite, but it will still be a slow processes. \u00a0 The fangs, action, saliva that goes with it – are the key elements. \u00a0The doctors and scientist are still trying to work out how.<\/p>\n

Vampire Saliva has healing factors. \u00a0This is how a Vampire can bite and cover the wound up and no one would be the wiser. \u00a0It’s also how to help a wounded Vampire recoup faster. \u00a0You loose a limb, a Mate or Sire’s saliva can help the re-growth process. \u00a0Not pretty but effective.<\/p>\n

Vampires senses are also enhanced. \u00a0They can move faster, see & hear further, and smell minuet fragrances. \u00a0 We’re just now starting to show case these in the stories.<\/p>\n

As you can see there is a lot more to the Vampire Physiology , and we’re still working out how all of it works. \u00a0As the Universe expands so does dealing with other species and how the Vampire affects it.<\/p>\n
