Vampirism
Held by: Silas Grey, The VonDrexler Nest, other Vampires
Ability to: Sustain oneself on the energy of others

Vampirism is the sustenance of a user on a subject's energy. One with this ability does not necessarily kill the subject; they may simply feed off of (or become invigorated by) one specific type of energy from a foe.

Adrenal Vampirism- ability to absorb the literal stamina of a foe and converting it into sustenance and strength for oneself (especially helpful with a foe on an adrenaline rush)

Empathic Vampirism- ability to absorb energy from emotions (sometimes relieving people of emotion) or just gaining sustenance or strength in the presence of strong emotion

Energy Vampirism- ability to absorb a type of energy with no harm to oneself (electricity, radiation, etc., but never all) and convert it into sustenance or physical strength

Neuronal Vampirism- ability to absorb nerve impulses into the body through touch (thus temporarily paralyzing foes), granting one with sustenance or physical strength

Phobic Vampirism- ability to absorb energy from fears and negative thoughts, and perhaps convert it into physical strength

Psychic Vampirism- ability to absorb thought waves, possibly only good or only bad (thus diminishing the thought capacities of others) and convert it into sustenance or physical strength

Sanguinary Vampirism (often referred to just as Vampirism)- ability to absorb blood of living beings into the body (thus killing them), converting the nutrients from their blood into physical power and sustenance; if subject is not killed, he is converted into a vampire as well, and has a link to the user (the user can track the subject by his blood and may possibly establish a telepathic/empathic rapport); the most common, well-known type of vampirism

The user of this ability may absorb this source of energy through the skin (ex: nerve impulses), via telepathic/empathic contact (ex: negative/positive energies), or perhaps they will just become extremely stronger in the presence of this energy source and drain it involuntarily (ex: fear/negative thoughts, memories, the energy which fuels superhuman abilities). Other variations of Vampirism are also possible.
