Dhampir

A Dhampir is the resulting offspring from a human and a vampire. Dhampirs are considered a type of Half-Breed. If they are equal parts wizard and vampire, they fall under wizarding regulations more so than 'Magical Being' or 'Half-Breed' regulations. However, if their vampire blood outweighs blood from other species, in some countries (Korea, India, Peru, Paraguay, Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, Cuba, France, Belgium, Latvia, Belarus, Moldova, Algeria, South Africa, Pakistan and Germany) they are legally dictated under 'Magical Being' laws, and therefore are considered a type of Magical Creature classified under Being. This is generally considered controversial, most countries having changed laws to allow anyone with strong wizarding blood to fall under wizarding laws. In these countries where Being laws apply, it is extremely hard for part humans to get jobs, receive proper education, proper medical care or recieve any sort of justice or aiding legal action. Beings may not marry or procreate with non-beings in such countries.

Characteristics

 * Fangs (smaller than that of a full Vampire) that are fully functional but not needed, as Dhampirs can survive without blood and solely on food like humans
 * Drinking blood can give Dhampirs extraordinary strengths and abilities for the time the blood is in their system, however drinking blood as a Dhampir is considered to be frowned upon
 * Lack of a shadow
 * Black eyes that appear pupiless
 * Black circular mark a the end of spine
 * No perception of/not affected by the cold (i.e. a dhampir could stand in a snow storm in nothing but a T-shirt and be fine/not feel cold in the least. this means they cannot freeze to death)
 * Cold to the touch
 * Extremely slow heart beat

Life-Span
Dhampirs are not immortal as Vampires, nor are they mortal in the same sense that humans are. Dhampirs age a bit slower than humans do, meaning they can live to be around 200 years. The oldest recorded Dhampir lived to be 312. However, this is abnormal. Most Dhampir live to be 130-150.
