No one knows exactly when the first vampire came into being but the earliest writings mention the blood drinkers (vampires are among the experts that translate ancient writing and keep the info suppressed) the oldest of the vampires known are only a few thousand years old the voltari the Romanian others are a few thousand years at the most this is the best theory about their origins

In nature every creature has controls on their population predation disease and birth rate tend to keep earths creatures in control except for man when man gathered into villages predation fell food pressures fell sickness increased but as knowledge increased even that decreased soon the populations were in the thousands at some point the vampire evolved a predator matched for human kind as smart and cunning with features that both attract and repel humans the vampire is controlled by a built in psychology a vampire cannot abide competition for food and will often kill another vampire hunting in their range when first turned a vampire is enormously strong, chaotic and often will turn on their creator so most vampires will not turn others willingly most vampire do not have the control necessary to bite and not drain the victim

Tools

The vampire have many tools for hunting first we will talk about the fangs

Vampires are not equipped with extended canine like in the movies their teeth look like normal teeth their teeth are sharp capable of parting bone and soft metal easily harder then tool steel edged with a carbide like material the teeth continue to grow and renew slowly their hardness and sharpness allow them to shear through flesh cloth even armor they also are grooved in back to provide the method of delivering the venom. Venom has several components the largest is a toxin that paralyzes with pain.(see footnote for chemical formula)[1] Shock and blood loss are the usual cause of death for the victim. a second component is the retro-virus[2] that causes the change, that in itself is painful, first changed is the nervous system the victim can feel every bit of the change the muscles re-link and convert it is like a cramp in every muscle the victim feels with the sensitivity and nerve impulse speed of vampire the last component is an anti coagulant[3] allows the blood to flow easily even from small bites

Strength
a vampire's strength varies but even the smallest and weakest is many times stronger then the strongest human when first turned vampires draw on their human blood supply as fuel resulting in massive strength an average vampire can overturn a car[4] with almost no effort a newborn can flip a truck with the same ease note they still have to obey the laws of physics they can only pull down their own weight and have to find a balance point before lifting a large percentage of their weight but can carry many times their weight even at a full run or climbing a tree or building to allow them to escape with their victims.[5]

Senses
a vampires senses are more keen then any in the animal kingdom able to see far into the infir-red and ultra violet seeing in the dark almost as clear as broad daylight colors wash out a bit but even at the darkest night their color vision is better then humans under the best conditions vision is soo sharp a vampire might be able to read a newspaper at several hundred yards smell: a vampire can follow a trail many days old smell blood from better then a mile under the right conditions hearing the smallest sounds at dozens even hundreds of yards they might detect a human heart beat
if this wasn't enough some vampires have extra abilities *see appendix for types and limitations of abilities
