Changes: New vampire

Revision as of 14:03, 23 February 2016

The creatures known as a new vampire was a vampire sired after the creation of a new Seed of Wonder. These vampire differed from their normal counterparts in that they possessed newer and greater powers than the latter and even less vulnerabilities. The reason for this was the restoration of magic on Earth paving the way for new universal rules to be formed. Because most humans viewed Dracula as the standard model for vampires, any vampires created following the restoration of magic possessed many of Dracula's powers.

History

After magic was restored to Earth by the new Seed, a red-haired Santa Rosita woman named Vicki awoke as a newly-sired fully intelligent vampire with immunity to sunlight and the power to morph into a giant bat. She and a pack of similar vampires formed a temporary alliance with the Slayer Buffy Summers to exterminate the Santa Rosita zompire epidemic. Buffy timed the battle with the hordes of zompires to end at sunrise, hoping to drive Vicki and her friends away so Buffy could regroup before inevitably having to kill Vicki and friends. However, much to Buffy's surprise, Vicki and her friends were unharmed by the sunshine, and began to transform into bats, panthers, and wolves. The witch Willow Rosenberg recognized this as quite distinct from the spells used by Dracula and Toru to similar effect. But they were indeed an inherently superior set of powers to normal vampires.

Powers and Abilities

The new breed of vampires not only possess new powers, such as shapeshifting and daywalking but the normal physical powers inherent in a vampire are vastly superior to the old breed.

Superior vampire strength: The new breed possess greater physical strength than their ancestors, Vicki, a newborn vampire was able to push a car that was on it side easily, Dawn questions if Spike, a 100+ vampire could do that but only gets a snarky reply which Dawn takes as a no.
Superior durability: The new vampires are vastly more difficult to stake than the old breed. Requiring much more effort for human to stake them, in some cases even the Slayers have difficulty in staking them.
Daywalking: New vampires are able to walk in the sun with no ill effects, at least until Buffy considered them too powerful and had Vicki, the leader of the new vampires reluctlanly agree to mute their shapeshifting powers during the day after Harmony Kendall suggested using the same lore as Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Shapeshifting: The new breed possessed the same powers as Dracula, but with the inital advantage of being able to shift during the day. This was changed when Harmony suggested using the same rules that Dracula is forced to abide by. The power of shapeshifting is not actually unique to Dracula or new vampires as like Hypnosis, it can be learned by any vampire but requires a high level of will power, Dracula's "secrets" is actually just rituals to amplify his will.

Evolvedvamps — Evolved Vampires in sunlight.

Weaknesses

With the exception of sunlight, the new Vampires possess the common weaknesses of vampires such as holy relics and impalement through the heart with a wooden object though they are much harder to stake with even slayers struggling with it.

Trivia

The new Vampires ability to resist staking is actually a more realistic take on staking, as in real life the rib cage is actually designed to prevent or reduce damage done by impaling, therefor it would take someone with a considerable amount of strength to run a piece of wood through a human body, it can be theorized that the original vampires' body was simply severely weak to wood, allowing anyone to stake them with ease.
