Moroi

Moroi vampires tend to place great importance on maintaining an appearance of civility and high class, and as such spend a great deal of effort in refining their personal appearance. Due to the vampires drawing on personal memories of style and elegance that may be centuries out of date, their appearances often seem archaic as a result. Moroi also view hunting for sustenance—as opposed to hunting for sport or revenge—as beneath them; instead, they feed by creating enticing environments that will draw their prey to them. Moroi are highly proud of their natures and consider themselves highly superior to their nosferatu ancestors. They do not extend this view to the jiang-shis and vetalas, however, which they rarely acknowledge as kin.

Moroi are the most common strain, when someone typically describes a vampire, they’re speaking of the Moroi. An elusive, proud race that feeds upon the blood of their victims. Moroi have a heavy focus on intrigue, and their abilities are based on their natural charm and dominance.

History:

Moroi, like all vampires, descend from an ancient vampiric race, the strigoi, that entered the Universe from the Netherworld in the ancient past. The first descendants of the strigoi were the bestial nosferatu, who preyed animalistically on the living. Some of their kind rejected this way of life, choosing instead to adopt the veneration of youth and beauty common among their humanoid prey. They became the first of the moroi, and their ability to reproduce freely quickly led them to outnumber their nosferatu ancestors.
