Chapter Text
The term vampire is often applied to a wide variety of supernatural creatures which feed on the blood of other creatures. They are often, though not always, human-like or at least humanoid. Vampires can have various transformations and abilities to aid them in their hunt for food, as well as various weaknesses depending on the type of vampire. Natural sunlight is a typical weakness among most vampires, ranging from weakening them to outright killing them.
Their sapience and intelligence also varies, from being on par with a human, to not being much more advanced than an animal. Vampires tend to have some sort of human origin, especially if they already resemble humans. Said origins include situations such as being revived from a fresh human corpse, or being originally a human that was “turned” in some manner.
Others, however, are not of human origin. At least, in the sense of being made from a human body.
The specimen shown below is one such example. Research indicates it was created from a swarm of female mosquitoes, likely because only the female mosquitoes in most species will drink blood for nutrients for their eggs. The swarm was thus sculpted into a larger form using supernatural methods from the ____ region. The wings seemed to be useless for actual flight, though they still allowed the vampire to hover in the air for short periods of time. In addition, it was still capable of climbing in order to hide from prey, particularly high along vertical surfaces to ambush said prey from above.
It was linked to the murders of at least 5 civilians in the city of _____, _____, cases where the victims were drained of all their blood. By moving its wings at certain angles and at certain speeds, the sound of it turned out similar to human speech. It mostly mimicked cries of help, likely to lure in victims. The murders all occurred in alleyways, late at night and in parts of the city with few other humans nearby.
This vampire was captured on _/__/____, through the use of a fake corpse filled with blood as bait. After being deprived of blood for a long period of time during our subsequent studies, it eventually expired. While preparing for an autopsy of the vampire, researchers observed that it “fell apart” into the original swarm used to create it in the first place. Said swarm then quickly turned to dust, but at the least we were able to save the dust for further study.
Through an extensive search and investigation, hunters were able to track down the creator of the vampire, an individual known as _____ _____. She created it to collect blood for her to offer to a local cult, in an attempt to win their favor and be allowed to join. She would direct the vampire to leave the blood in metal barrels near a warehouse where the cult supposedly met to conduct rituals. Given that the vampire still needed to consume blood to stay alive, it is believed it may have consumed at least a small part of its collected blood for itself, before depositing the rest for the cult.
While investigating, our hunters found that the cult does exist, but it had moved its operations out of the city some weeks before the vampire and its creator were captured. In addition, _____ had evidently been leaving the blood next to the wrong warehouse this whole time, with the cult's actual warehouse being about a mile away from the one she directed the vampire to. _____ was unaware of both of these facts and became distraught upon learning this from the hunters. She has since been left in police custody to take the fall for the 5 murders.
