[QUOTE="mamam1, post: 2495576, member: 516521"] So, I love the whole vampire theme in books but I think it's too overused, if you know what I mean, and I'm really into fantasy types of books. So.. .. I came up with my own mythical creature race. I call them Castors (Or the Dux). They are witches of a certain type of magic, not just a variety. On their fifteenth birthday, their blood turns a shade and that shade determines what branch of magic they will recede into (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, White). From there they go to school and learn to use this magic. Each branch has a specific power [Red = Combat, Orange = Idea, Yellow = Psionics, Green = Elements, Blue = Charms, Purple = Control, White = Healing]. But alas, each race must have a counterpart. Soo I created the 'Eversors' (It means 'Destroyer' in Latin). They are Castors who have turned to dark magic to pass by life. Anyways, in the story, vampire myths are created based off them so they are similar and aren't in many ways. First off, they don't drink blood. They are, quite literally, soul suckers. They feed off the energy, the essence, of other people: It gives them strength, power, life, and (of course) immortality.
