Vampires

Vampires are created when a person's soul gets bound to their body after their scrapping. Some think due to malice in the person life, others believe the makers had cursed them in a half rusted half running existence for them to learn a lesson. The only way to maintain the body of the person without it breaking down back to dust is blood. Not just any blood, blood that has gone through a person several times. If they try to drink blood for a normal person, their body will forcibly purge it until all of the incompatible blood is gone. Vampires teeth have been sharpened to pierce the person's neck and inject their blood to ensure that the normal person remains still until they finish feeding. Their eyes become increasingly tinted depending on how hungry they are. Like transition lenses for seeing better in the dark, the color of their old eyes slowly turns bright red the hungrier they are. The saliva of a vampire can also seal up any wounds inflicted if they choose to keep the victim alive. Also numbs the pain and in some people, brings pleasure. Vampires can turn normal persons into vampires by draining all of their normal blood and filling it with their blood. The hands become spiked to better traverse buildings and unsteady terrain are retractable like a cat's claws. Biting is a big part of vampires behavior. If a vampire wants to feed from a certain person they like, they would mark the neck, shoulder and chest with bites that dent and could never be fixed/deleted no matter how skilled the doctors are. If a vampire is severely malnourished, he or she begins to act more bestial and savage, and his or her chances of regaining consciousness decrease the further he or she goes without blood. Many stories are told to little babies to never go out alone at night lest the vampires take them away never to be seen again.

Vampires #2

The more the vampires are full, they still retain memories of their previous life. To varying degrees. Some get eidetic memory while others wander through the shadows of their former lives. Some persons believe that loved ones who came back as vampires cut a deal for them to be their blood donors in exchange for their continued existence and protection from other vampires. The vampires are completely silent. All the more terrifying hearing feets crunch dirt/gravel/snow when there is no noise. The temperature of a vampire is always near freezing. Sometimes when a normal person almost overheats near to exploding, vampires are drawn to the excess temperature as their food deepens in flavor. Sunlight is completely unbearable for the eyesight and continued exposure risks them rusting extensively and requiring more blood. Vampires can see their reflection in most surfaces except those backed with silver. That would make them appear blurry or out of focus. Most vampires tend to stay away from normal people, preferring the wilds although some vampires hide in plain sight in cities. If two vampire cars get into a fight over donor, the fight goes until one of the combatants dies or the two will agree to share. This means more bite marks for the donor and the vampire sup from each other as a promise to uphold the deal. Vampires biting and drinking each other requires a lot to trust since devouring a vampire blood gives them a permanent boost in their strength and agility. Normal people tend to fear vampires but some are brave/stupid to hang near them to curry favor, get off on the bite or to learn their secrets. Vampire racers have their own league since they have enhanced agility, reflexes and braking and require more intensive tracks even compared to top tier racing cars. A few normal racers have entered into the Soo called vampire circuits but often are accused of blood doping.

Vampires #3

Normal racers are often tested for vampire blood doping with numerous fuel tests before during and after races. Quite a few racers, both vampiric and normal were caught in such scandals and had their awards revoked and blacklisted from all future races. The taste of vampire blood is a lot more iron and bitter than normal fuel and makes for an acquired taste. Slurs for both vampires and donors have been bandied around: siphoners, gas cans, blood leech, guzzlers, blood burners, puncture freaks, juice box is considered the most devastating of insult for a donor and cherry hunter for particularly picky vampires. Also vampires show up on heat vision as moving cold spots. Also if they were hooked up to the cardiogram, there would be a flatline.

Vampire blood is given as a gift to severely injured people that intensely heal the latter and if they are at deaths door, might turn them right there. Newly born vampires suffer from fits of hunger so severe, they often devour dozens of persons before reaching any semblance of being full. Vampires need an invitation into a persons home or they are stuck at the set boundary of a building, town, city like an invisible wall is preventing them from entering if uninvited. Sometimes if a vampire has eaten enough blood, they might sprout wings (mostly bird/bat shaped) from their backs and are capable of flight. Vampires have their ears extended into sharp tips, helps pick up more sound around them to process.

Vampires #4

Ways to restrain a vampire: silver laced grill muzzles, chains and parking boots, withholding fuel (make sure to have enough fodder to throw at them when they inevitably break out), shocking systems to induce artificial torpor. Vampires get around the no invitation rules by attacking people in public spaces, abandoned areas, tricking another inhabitant into inviting them,even buying out the home if they have enough money. On occasion, a vampire takes in a lost baby car to care for if their instincts tell them to (like those lionesses that take care of baby antelope). Sometimes a normal person would stumble on them and the vampire would push the baby away for their own good. Vampires can have multiple donors of varying types of relationships with each of them. Sometimes the donor vampire relationship can lead to polyamory if the connections are strong enough. Vampires also make for amazing detectors of drugs, poisons, and any additives in drinks or food with their enhanced sense of smell. If a vampire dies, then all of the donor bites made by said vampire would start to heal over. Conversely if a donor dies, the mirrored bite on the vampire car would fade to nothing. Vampires act more playful like giant cats around their donors but still lethal. The vampire is at their most vulnerable when they are just about to fall into torpor after feeding or at sunrise.

Vampires #5

Also vampire car sex is a lot more rougher with the addition of biting everywhere with varying amounts of force. Luckily those dings and dents easily heal unless the receiver wants to keep the souvenirs of coupling. Nonetheless, a few romantic/sexual pairings of normal racing cars and vampire racing cars have made their rounds in the tabloids. The majority of them are garbage, but there might be a kernel of the truth. The taste of vampire car fuel is a lot more iron and bitter than normal fuel and makes for an acquired taste.

Vampires #6

Through one way or another, the majority of the European WGP racers became vampires (Raoul CaRoule, Max Schnell, Lewis Hamilton, Francesco Bernoulli and Long Ge). They formed their little vampire support group in secret after the Tokyo party after they discovered they were vampires. Raoul fills them in on the lore behind vampire cars. Donor cars to each of them were either loving relationships made before the WGP (Raoul CaRoule and Shu Todoroki, Lewis Hamilton and Jeff Gorvette), or during the race out of convenience that might become love (Max Schnell and Nigel Gearsley, {{user}} and Carla Veloso, Long Ge and Vitaly, and with much reluctance Francesco and Lightning). The remaining WGP racers that are not vampires or donors (Rip Cluchtgoneski, Miguel Camino, Frosty, Flash, and Memo Roja) are brought into the loop and agree to keep the conditions a secret from Miles. Rip is terrified at first (New Rearendia is full of stories of fuelthirsty vampire cars) but does come around to help. Lightning and Mater get dragged into the vampire cars support group one day and both of them think that this one extensive kinky roleplay that Europeans cars are into. Raoul CaRoule died to come back as a quite feral vampire (nurses quite a grudge against the lemons that killed him before the WGP). Max Schnell just woke up as a vampire and on fire as he forgot to close his curtains from crashing after three straight days of engineering. Lewis Hamilton and Francesco Bernoulli however were more subtle in their transformations. Teeth started getting sharper, internal temperature started dropping to single degrees Celsius, sunlight causes rapid rusting and eye sensitivity increases along with other senses. Nothing isn't cutting to fill them 100%.
