Vampire Children

Vampires can have children together. The child will be mostly human with vampire blood, allowing them to age. Vampire children become full grown within two months after their birth where they will then activate their vampire powers and stop aging. Vampires can also turn human and witch children into vampires, a practice which has been made illegal by The Vampire Council.

Rarity
Since vampires are immortal, most of them choose not to have children since they don’t really need to pass on a legacy. However, the Frankenstein line of vampires has been going on for over 10,000 years.

Gestation Period
A pure-bred vampire’s term of pregnancy is 13 months. During this time, the expectant mother will begin craving human foods since the fetus technically starts out as a human (albeit with vampire blood). Vampires can give birth either in their normal form or their bat form. The baby’s only vampiric abilities at birth will be bat transformation and all of the special attributes that come from having vampire blood in their veins (ie: turning, healing). Newborns will grow into toddlers over the course of a few days, becoming full grown within two months after their birth. They will then activate their full vampire potential and become immortal.

Immortal Children
Long ago, in a small bulgarian village, vampire Nadia Baskov’s human toddler was dying of a disease that plagued the village. In attempt to save her son she turned the young child into a vampire. Since vampires are incapable of aging, the toddler’s mental development was frozen at the age he was turned and he could not control his thirst for blood. Since the child could not protect the secret of vampiric existence, he was destroyed by the Vampire Council and Immortal children were outlawed, punishable by death of the creator.
