CHANGE TRACKING
● The upper canines and/or upper lateral incisors elongated into fangs.
● Eye color ranging from pale pink to bright red.
● Fingernails that grow faster and in a more claw-like shape.
● Weakness to sunlight. Vampires usually prefer to go out at night time or keep themselves well-covered, because their skin burns quickly in sunlight and direct exposure can be painful. While they don't need to sleep in coffins, they tend to prefer dark, enclosed spaces to avoid accidental exposure to sunlight.
● Vulnerability to silver. Silver burn's skin on contact and causes severe injury or even death if the Vampire is shot or stabbed with something made of silver.
● Heightened senses. Vampires find that their senses are attuned to the scent of blood, and when hungry they may start hearing the pulses of those nearby.
● Thirst for blood. Vampires feed only on blood and will actively crave it. If they don't feed for an extended amount of time, they will begin to go mad and lose their self-control until they can feed again.
Optional
● Paler skin. (Especially when starving)
● Anything from pointed ears to large, batlike ones.
● A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog.
● Hypnotic influence over humans. Most humans can be immobilized with this influence long enough for the Vampire to feed on them, while weaker-minded humans can be forced to carry out the Vampire's bidding as well.
● The ability to take the form of a bat. The character will look like a regular bat, and will be able to fly, but is more vulnerable in this form.
● The ability to take the form of fog. The character will be invulnerable in this form, but will also not be able to feed or cause any damage.
● Superhuman speed. Certain Vampires can move much faster than humans, appearing as nothing more than a blur.
● An arrogant nature. Vampires tend to believe themselves better than other creatures or humans, and are prone to flattery.
● Arithmomania: A type of trait often found in Jiangshi vampires that involves the compulsion to keep track of numbers and count different objects, especially small ones such as grains of rice, seeds, coins, cracks or tiles in the floor or ceiling, etc.
Mana Purchases
● Magic Glass Eyes: Using these, he can spy on others by placing one discretely in the homes or businesses belonging to himself or others. He can currently only have three glass eyes working with this function, and can only focus on one at a time to spy and see with.
Fog Follower; Tier One
● Temporary Blindness/Paralysis: The ability to induce temporary blindness/paralysis to a target for 60 seconds. Eye contact must be maintained throughout the full 60 seconds. Blinking or breaking eye contact in any way will cut the spell short. May be able to strengthen this in the future upon going further up of tiers eventually.

Museum Exhibit (WIP) (cw: description of murdery surgery rooms and eyes, suicide implications)
The Exhibit Itself
Danny's exhibit is almost a perfect replica of a room of his from B5, the floor he used to live and operate out of in the building for murderers back home. It's set up to look like a hospital, with one section set up with an operating table and all the tools you'd expect to see in a surgery room. Though, perhaps a surgery room from hell given what is (hopefully fake) blood on the tools and the restraints that look like prisoner chains on the table. Surrounding the operating table, however, are wall-to-wall shelves filled with many, many glass jars, and inside the jars are what appear to be eyes. They come in a variety of many different colors, in different states of condition but not quite to the point of pure decay, having been preserved in a pristine manner. Somehow, all the jars have been positioned so that it looks like the eyes are somehow looking at the operating table in front of them. Or maybe you'll even get the feeling that they are watching you here as you walk around.
Adjacent to this, however, is what almost looks like part of a normal office setting, maybe. There's a desk, and while there's nothing of interest inside the drawers aside from normal office supplies, what's on the desk itself is what's probably going to garner the most attention. There's a replica of a newspaper with mostly faded text, but the ones that can be read distinctly are "Serial Murder Case", "All Victims Have Been Found With Their Eyes Plucked Out", and "The Eyeball Killer". However, someone has then drawn an arrow pointing to this last bit, and written in the words "Some murders don't completely match up. Could there have been two of these killers on the loose?"
There's also a college-grade text book about eyes, and, strangely enough, two other books that definitely don't belong with this eyeball nonsense. One appears to be advice for parents providing advice on what to do when adopting children, specifically teenagers, and providing for them. It appears that someone has done some heavy reading of it judging by the creases in the upper corners where several pages were marked like bookmarks to come back to certain sections later.
The other is a religious text, specifically a translation and study guide of sorts of The Book of Daniel about a prophet of the same name that would supposedly experience dreams and visions of apocalyptic threats and monsters. Patrons are free to flip through the book as they please to whichever page they want to look at, but when visiting, the book is always open to a specific part of the book where it's noted in the margins the meaning of the name "Daniel" has become "For God Is My Judge", and a high-lighted margin that notes: [The name Daniel also appears in The Book of Ezekiel (14:14, 14:20 and 28:3), referring to a legendary Daniel famed for wisdom and righteousness. In verse 14:14, Ezekiel says of the sinful land of Israel that "even if these three, Noah, Daniel and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness." In chapter 28, Ezekiel taunts the king of Tyre, asking rhetorically, "art thou wiser than Daniel?"] Either way, what an odd find given that while Danny is a Fog Follower, he has never seemed that deeply religious.
There's a chair that one might naturally assume is meant to be where the person at the desk is supposed to sit, except that upon closer inspection, it looks like an old wooden rocking chair you'd see in a living room than in an office. It's tipped over on it's side, and while you can turn it right side back up to sit properly, doing so will cause an audible click to sound, and if you look up, that's when you'll see... oh. It's a noose that has appeared right above the chair at the perfect height needed for... well, the obvious. Jesus Christ, why did the museum provide this. Maybe you should just tip the chair back over so the rope will retract back into the ceiling instead. Thankfully, attempting to pull on the rope in any way, however, will suddenly cause the rope to disappear back into the ceiling as well as what appears to be initially white confetti rains down from above onto you. On closer inspection, the confetti is not confetti, but old business cards reading "If you are ever feeling suicidal urges, please contact XXXXXXXXX at the following location and number. Remember, you are not alone and there is always someone that can help you", albeit the location is for somewhere in America and a phone number that is of no use to you here.
Last thing of note is that the chair, when in the proper spot, is facing toward a TV that's been placed here as well. The TV is surrounded by what appears to be plastic flowers, and while the TV plays mostly static, fiddling with it enough will eventually get the TV to play an image of a pure white room, with two chairs facing each other... and nothing else. Weird.
