PHYSICAL TRAITS: Pale and fairly cold to touch. If they cut their hair, it will grow back (instantly) to the length it was when they died. Their nails tend to be a bit long.
SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES: Super strong and fast, enhanced reflexes and senses, glamour (ability to hypnotize), don't age and fast healing. Levitation, shapeshifting. Some vampires can read your thoughts (telepathy).
SUSTENANCE/FEEDING: Sleep in a hidden spot during the day, food is blood, however a beverage created in Japan called Tru Blood is supposed to replace the need for human blood (although this is does not completely quench ones "thirst")
BECOMING A VAMPIRE: Vampire must drain all your blood and replace with some of their own. If it succeeds, then you'll come back 2 - 3 days later as a very hungry vampire. (you must die first)
VAMPIRE POLITICS: Older vampires are more powerful. Vampires can also run for office. Each state/territory is run by a King or Queen of which appoints several Sheriff's to different area's in that territory. Vampires tend to belong to a nest or a coven. An elder is the leader and rule the group because of their age and wisdom.
INTERACTION WITH OTHER SUPERNATURAL BEINGS: They hate other supernatural races (Lycanthropes, werewolves), but work together for common causes when necessary.
HOW TO KILL A VAMPIRE: Wooden stakes, sunlight.
VAMPIRE VULNERABILITIES: Silver hurts them (however they seem to heal very quickly after silver is removed) and they don't like garlic (Bill asks Sookie to stop consuming it when they are together). Sunlight also burns them to the point of death.
SOCIAL STATUS: The Great Revelation enabled vampires to "come out of the coffin" (the creation of Tru Blood helped this happen), however, America is having some trouble accepting them. Vampirism is believed to be a "virus", but that is just a cover-up for the fact that they are undead beings.
INTERACTION WITH HUMANS: Some vampires try to "mainstream" and live among humans, while others attempt to live as they had before the Great Revelation.
VAMPIRE BLOOD: When humans drink Vampire blood, they become more attractive to other humans and vampires and sexually potent. They also gain strength and more control over themselves. Vampire blood is one of the most sought-after commodities on the black-market because of its potency (even though some humans have gone crazy after drinking it). The effects last depending on the amounts of blood that was ingested.
