Ardenoth:
The Ardenoth carry an heir of quiet soberness; an almost regal heir and dignity about them. They are stern and serious creatures, but enjoy amusement at times of relaxation (just as any other of the races do in their own way).
The race of the Ardenoth are very rare indeed. These are actual Vampires that are born with all the abilities of the undead, yet they are not classified as Undead. Take special notice that when an Ardenoth infects a creature, the creature infected will then be classified as an Undead (meaning undead in the sense that most speak of). All the attributes of an Undead Vampire will be forced upon the bitten (if infected). Once a person has become an Undead Vampire, he or she will have the same abilities as does an Undead Vampire; also the same curse.
The Ardenoth are vampires of the pure and true blood, meaning they are not Undead. They carry an heir of quiet soberness about them; an almost regal heir and dignity. They are stern and serious creatures, but enjoy amusement at times of relaxation (just as any other of the races do -- in their own way).
They are susceptible to sunlight, as they are true creatures of the night. Based on their constitution, they can withstand sunlight for certain periods at a time, making them harder to detect for what they are (for they appear as a Human). Their fangs are retractable, as are snake fangs, thus concealing their identity even further. The Ardenoth are secretive and careful about giving another the knowledge of who and what they are, for most all within the common societies are biased towards this race type (and will, at times, go out of their way to be rid of them).
