The Vampire Genealogical Tree
The Vampire Genealogical Tree
The vampire tree consists of two
distinct parts: Those that were born of the original bloodlines and those that
were made or turned. The first section will deal with those that were born. The
second section will deal with those that were turned. Those born of the
original bloodlines descend from the eleven original vampires from central
The original vampires are listed below.
1. Kibwe
2. Imani
3. Zuberi
4. Nuru
5. Sefu
6. Sanaa
7. Tendaji
8. Asha
9. Ekwan
10. Sauda
11. Tieno
Of these, Ekwan left the clan after impregnating his wife, Sauda. Sauda and their child remained with the clan. His further lines will be continued separately.
Another thing to note is that while Tieno turned the father of her first child, the child is still considered a first generation born vampire.
The first generation born vampires are as follows.
From this point we begin the second generation of born vampires. These are all original bloodline descendants.
All others born of the first generation are removed from the bloodlines. The second generation is as follows:
From the second generation, a third generation was born.
All others born of the second generation are removed from the bloodlines. The third generation is as follows.
From the third generation, the fourth was born.
All others born of the third generation are removed from the bloodlines. The fourth generation is as follows.
From the fourth generation, the fifth was born.
All others born of the fourth generation are removed from the bloodlines. The fifth generation is as follows.
As of yet there are no sixth generation born vampires of the original bloodlines.
While the original bloodlines are tapering in the listings above, that does not mean that vampires are vanishing from the world. Some of the above have had no children as yet. Others have had children that are not listed because they were produced by a union of the original bloodlines with turned vampires of two or more steps away from the original bloodline.
Ekwans Lines
The Upir
After
leaving the Vim-Pyr, Ekwan traveled to the Eastern European area, a place now
known as
There are no second generation vampires from his lines yet, though many have had children with turned vampires beyond the second step from original bloodlines.
After Ekwans death, his wives bore more children, but they also were beyond the second step from original bloodlines.

These listings are of true original bloodline descendants. There are many others born of these lines, but removed from the direct descent because of parentage by a turned vampire beyond second step.
The Turned
The next descendant bloodline to consider is the turned vampire lineage. Turned are noted as steps from original bloodlines. The further away from the original makers, the weaker the symbiont. A tenth step vampire is still a very powerful creature indeed, however there are major differences.
First step vampires are almost as powerful as born vampires of the original bloodlines, and almost as rare. From Kibwes time there were several first step vampires.
First step vampires are characterized by having hollow fangs and venom glands, metallic irises that change color dependant on mood and surrounding with black rings around the outer edge, the need to drink blood once every three to four days and even though they strongly desire it they never have to feed from humans. They are susceptibility only to fire, acid and decapitation and all have extreme physical abilities.
A second step vampire is one who is turned by a first step vampire. Second step vampires have all of the above except the venom. Other than the venom, they are indistinguishable from first step vampires.
Third step vampires are those who are turned by a second step vampire. They have no venom, nor hollow fangs. Their fangs are solid. They do not regenerate as quickly and they must feed every third day. Physically they are not quite as formidable as a first or second step vampire, but they are still extremely powerful.
At the fourth step there are some notable differences. The eye color stays original, but with the addition of the black ring around the outer edge of the iris. Their eye color changes only during extreme mood changes and then to red or yellow. They must feed every other day and need human blood once every year or so, they are not as strong or fast as third step vampires, they are more susceptible to toxins such as ebon sap and allicin and silver.
Fifth step vampires are similar to fourth step except that their eyes do not ever change colors and again, they are physically slightly weaker and slower.
Sixth to tenth step vampires gradually weaken and must feed more frequently to maintain strength and appearance.
Eleventh step vampires and beyond do not have fangs per say, but they do have extended canines. They must feed daily on animal blood and every so often on human blood to survive and are only around ten times as strong as humans. They do not regenerate unless they drink human blood. Silver, allicin and ebon sap in sufficient quantity are capable of killing them. They must rest periodically to remain healthy. At around twenty steps from original bloodlines, vampires no longer have fangs, are only slightly stronger than humans, are susceptible to normal human damages such as bullets, cuts, abrasions, blunt trauma, shock and blood loss, hypothermia and suffocation. They must sleep far more often, about once every three days for a few hours and have no true regenerative ability. Their fertility rate is very low, making it very uncommon for one to be born so far removed from the original bloodlines. They are hardly considered vampires at all. The one thing that the symbiont can still give those so far from the bloodlines is extended longevity. Even the weakest vampire has the capability to live for a thousand years or more, if they can keep from being killed.
Born of
Turned
As with human genetics, there is no absolute rule about how those born of two turned vampires will come out. There are a few things that are almost always reliable. The most predominate is that if one is born of two first step vampires, that one will be first step in all aspects. If one is born of a first and a tenth step union, they will generally, but not always be similar to a fifth step vampire.
Those born of turned parents never have to worry that they will reject the symbiont, just as those turned by original blood and first through third step vampires are guaranteed to survive the transition.
Born vampires of turned parents grow at a normal human rate until their bodies reach physical maturity. At that point aging slows dramatically until their bodies reach the apex of their maturity, generally around the human equivalent of thirty to forty years of age. Vampires maintain that apex of maturity until they reach their last century, when the aging process picks up again and escalates as they approach the end of their lifespan. Those of the original bloodlines may live to be twelve thousand years old spending eleven thousand eight hundred of their years at the apex of physical maturity. Those born of turned vampires that are many steps removed from original bloodlines may live to be one thousand and spend eight hundred at their apex.
