Dhampir

Encyclopedia Entry:
A sudden mutational variant of the vampire. When a vampire has sex with a man prior to his transformation into an incubus and conceives a child, these mamono may rarely be born. They have an openhearted personality, which is the polar opposite of a vampire. They don’t look down on humans, and they honestly express their fondness of the men they like. Though they are completely monsters, they are also regarded as “half human, half monster.” Their appearance is extremely similar to that of a human, and they possess demonic energy that gives off an aura similar to that of a woman. Although they have the monsters’ values regarding love and pleasure as being supreme and consider lasciviousness a virtue, they also have basic human common sense values. For that reason, it’s extremely easy for them to conceal their true nature and behave like a human without anything feeling out of place. Many dhampir prefer to live in human towns.

They don’t attack human men. Just like a human woman, many of them go through the normal stages of romance, etc. before being joined with a man. However, because they are born with supernatural beauty and also possess human values they can use many tricks to charm human men. It’s just as difficult for the men they go after to escape from them, as any other monster. It is said that the men who become their lovers and husbands in this way only realize that they’re not human after tasting otherworldly pleasure during sex.

The demonic energy that the dhampir possesses robs strength from vampires almost like sunlight, and has the same power to steal away their reason and capacity for thought as garlic. Most of them fundamentally view things from a human perspective. For that reason, they despise vampires who act arrogant and look down on humans, and it infuriates them when humans are mistreated as servants. Furthermore, if such vampires are around they’ll use the magic power and superior physical strength inherited from their mother to vanquish them. Then, through discipline and training, they’ll correct their arrogant, stubborn personality and teach them to be submissive women who can honestly express their love and fondness of men. Of course, if their mother wasn’t submissive to their father, a dhampir’s first target will end up being her own mother.

After that, many of them journey as “vampire hunters,” vanquishing vampires while searching for a husband. Additionally, since the servant (husband) is involved during the training of the vampire, they sometimes grow fond of him and end up becoming his wife along with the vampire. In this way, dhampir will not only injure the pride of their race, but may also become a rival for their husband’s affections. As such, they are truly feared as the vampire’s natural enemies.

Furthermore, they are sometimes attacked by the urge to drink blood like a vampire, although they normally endure through it. If they happen to learn the sweet taste of a man’s blood, the “human” part of the “half-human/half-monster” dhampir becomes corrupted by the “monster” part. After that, they can’t resist future urges to suck blood, or the lust that visits at the same time.
