Okay. You asked for fully detailed, you're gonna get it. *clears throat*

In my universe, vampires are extremely complex. All vampires get the same supernatural abilities: flying, super speed, and super strength. However, each vampire gets one of those abilities heightened. Also, each vampire gets their own ability, usually having to relate to something in their mortal life. Bobbi's heightened ability is speed and Ryan's is strength. Bobbi can read minds and put her thoughts in other people's minds and Ryan can become a bat.

In order to become a vampire, one must be bitten by a vampire and then consume human blood within the first 24 hours of vampirism, otherwise they die. During the first 24 hours of after consuming human blood, their abilities begin to set in.

Vampires can only die by being exposed in the sun (which is a slow, painful death) and a wooden stake to the heart (which is quick). Vampires are fast healers and usually cannot feel pain. They do have one weakness, though: silver. If a vampire is stabbed with a silver knife, they feel pain and bleed. If a vampire is hit with something silver, they can get knocked out. If a vampire tries to break something silver, they become too weak to do so. However, silver cannot kill vampires.

If a vampire bleeds, they bleed a thick liquid gold. Vampire blood can heal nearly all wounds. Vampires do not contain much blood (about a pint), and the only way to replace their blood is to consume the blood of a mortal (whether human or animal). Consuming mortal blood also keeps a vampire healthy and energized, as they do not sleep.

That's pretty much it.
