Millenia ago, when Atlantis was still surfaced and elves men and dwarves lived in harmony, the threat of demons came from other realms. Devastated by the attacks, the mountain clans (dwarves) fled deeper in the mountains, the elves and men fled to other continents and thedark elves fled underground and in dark forests. To my knowledge only a few hundred or thousand dark elves survived. Their elite decided to counter the demon attacks by organising their armies and thus creating the title of "vampyre". The dark elves that received the title/rank of vampyre went on to creating an army of almost 10.000 souls that would embody all these traits, while the dark elves that were not purebreeds retreated to anoher realm and created an empire of their own perhaps even an alliance with the demons. So the dark elves that had the vampyre rank became "the elders" and the vampyre souls they created became their children. The dark elves also gave the souls that need to drink blood (mostly from demons but other too), and they were also given the "dark side" of their soul, and a natural tendency to drain energy from everything around them. One of these elder vampyres was Kain who was the leader of an empire, that recruited mostly vampyres-the reincarnations of the vampyres souls and also vampiric humans who trained for the vampyre title. The vampyre/vampire ratio was 10.000/10.000.000 . The elite of vampiric humans managed to live over 2-300 years and gained lots of the mental abilities of a vampyre including the farsight and energy control, but also the blood addiction.
I would also like to say what traits and attributes the title of vampyre had in the dark elves' vision. A vampyre is someone with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and an even greater desire to help other vampyres. To receive the rank of vampyre, a dark elf should be an expert in dark magic, and have the ability to use energy from an outside source, or drain energy. Basically this is the meaning of the word vampyre in my vision, but there are lots of other skills that vampires have like the lifespan of almost 2000 years and ability to make oneself younger, thus living longer. Also all vampyres have the same personality and gender in every incarnation they have. In the present day 5000 vampyre souls have stayed "pure vampyre" while the other aprox. 5000 have enhanced their souls by adding the skills of a lycan demon or any otherkin. So you could say that there is another race of souls, the race of werevamps that do not have the addiction of the vampyre for blood/energy or the lycan's weakness to silver.
The vampyre race (their souls) was created by the dark elves as a battle race. The 10.000 vampyres were self-sustaining. More than half of them were women, the keepers of scrolls and knowledge. The rest of them, less then 5000, were the male vampyres that did most of the fighting. They focused more on quality rather than quantity, so a few thousand vampyre men were enough to destroy an army of 50.000 humans, and a single vampyre could kill 50-100 humans in combat. Of course the vampyres used to drink the blood of their enemies. The men were extremely strong, resilient, agile and intelligent. They had excellent night vision and all the original ones has pale skin and black hair which was a sign of beauty. Unfortunately the effect of drinking blood was extra iron in their veins, and that iron had a bad reaction to the sun's rays. The iron in the blood heated up so their internal fluids would evaporate quickly, leaving them drained. That is why they allways prefered the cover of darkness. Of course all of them could perform dark magic, and they posessed the skill to take energy from an outside source and use it to their own will. A vampyre, no matter the race he is born into, will get all his vampyre DNA by the time he reaches maturity. All the vampyres also received a special type of personality, meaning all vampyres are natural actors and natural assasins. Actors because the are very good imitators and can put themselves in any situation and get out of it; and assasines because they have murder in their blood, for a vampyre, to kill someone is very natural, especially if it's done very stealthy.
There are three types of feeding that vampyres can do:
Blood feeding. You all heard of this one, all vampyres do it: suck the blood of mortals to quench their thirst for energy. This is the easiest one-the 1 level.
Energy feeding. This is the next level when a vampyre learns to take energy from a person's soul and body, there are different types of elemental energies in the human body that make up life energy so there are types of energies you can take from someone depending on how you want to disrupt their health.
Soul feeding. This type of feeding is based on negative enthropy-the skill of a soul with more ectoplasm to drain a weaker soul of it's ectoplasm and become even stronger. Vampyres rely on their bigger souls to take not only the energy of a person but also their ectoplasm/soul. This is the most powerful type of feeding and also the most damaging for the victim if you go for too long. When this becomes very effective you can see some sparks between you and your victim but that requires a lot of training.
-after 8000 BC: armies of demons attack this realm
-100 years later the dark elves create the "vampyre" rank, given only to the best of their kind. The dark elf vampyres create 10.000 new vampyre souls in less than 50 years. The elder vampyres and d.e. vampyres were also called "vanar".
-around 7700 BC: Kain, a young vampyre, decides to create an empire so that the rest of the vampyre souls would be born in a vampyre family, keeping the vampyre bloodlines; and also for power. Kain unites the clans and forms an empire with lands in present day Central Asia and S-E Europe. The empire was also meant to protect this world from future demon invasions.
-3500-2500 BC: the demons return but are stopped by the vampyre's empire.
-2500 BC-1400 AC local wars lead by demons meant to weaken the vampyre's influence in this realm. The "crusades" are a good way to slaughter many vampyres that have found refuge in the Bysantine empire, this time the demons are helped by humans. Kain was asassinated, leaving the vampyres leaderless.
-after 1400 AC most vampyres dead and the empire destroyed, the few survivors are organised in clans like they were originally, are waiting for their kin to be reincarnated in order to restore the bloodines. Unfortunately it takes even the strongest vampyre 1000 years to be reborn...
