| - There are countless other universes existing congruent to our own. In these realms, physical laws as we know them do not pertain. Since time immemorial there have been intrusions between our universe and these others. From these intrusions have emerged countless energies and lifeforms. In fact, the phenomenon known as "magic" involves controlling and using these extra-dimensional forces to perform a variety of acts and displays that defy the universal laws of physics. Various extra-dimensional lifeforms and energies are responsible for the multitude of "supernatural" creatures such as "shapeshifters," "werewolves," "fairies," "maenads," and of course, the somatically resurrected and anatomically modified former human creatures known as "vampires." A vampire has a unique type of extra-dimensional energy bonded to his or her entire physiological structure. This energy serves as a vampire's "life force" and because of its extra-dimensional nature, vampires possess abilities that defy conventional physical laws. Such abilities include agelessness, super-strength, super-speed, super-sensory capabilities, super-accelerated healing, super-endurance and durability, flight, and even the capacity to form "psychic" connections with both humans and their fellow vampires by perceiving and manipulating quantum-level superluminal transdimensional wavelength signals emitted by the brain. Vampires are also physically affected by human "psychic energies" (i.e. residual and ambient transdimensional signals originating from the human brain); such as in an inability to enter the home or residence of a human without a formal invitation. An anatomical modification of vampires is the presence of fangs that lie along the roof of the mouth and then protrude into place behind the maxillary lateral incisors when a vampire is in danger or aroused or ready to feed. Another anatomical modification is a structural change to the tear ducts that establishes a connection to blood vessels, causing vampires to shed tears of blood when crying. A physical weakness of vampires is the fact that ultraviolet radiation is inimical to the frequencies of their imbued extra-dimensional energy, causing them to be lethally burnt by UV rays such as sunlight. Silver has a similar effect. Wood has a lethal effect on the heart muscles of vampires so that if a vampire's heart is fully penetrated by wood, the extra-dimensional energy will instantly detach from the vampire's body and in the process cause their entire physical form to disassemble, leaving a bloody mess. In addition to the fatal reaction to sunlight, during daylight hours, vampires must enter a state of suspended animation or their internal body tissues will start to erode, causing them to bleed out. The most characteristic physical weakness of vampires is that they require a regular ingestion of certain types of bio-quantum energies to maintain the vitality of the extra-dimensional energy. Due to a molecular-level synergistic effect of its specific organic composition, human blood just happens to be infused with the specific bio-quantum energies that vampires require. Although these energies are undetectable to human perceptions and technology, they are completely perceptible to vampire sensory systems; especially the olfactory system. As a consequence of being able to smell these bio-quantum energies in the blood of humans, vampires instinctively hunger for human blood. Several years ago, a synthetic blood substitute called "Tru Blood" was developed that happens to perfectly replicate the bio-quantum energy signatures of human blood, enabling vampires to survive on this manufactured substance.
