Turned (Book #1 in the Vampire Journals)

Product Information

A human who had consumed vampire blood and has subsequently died with the blood in their system will be magically revived as an undead vampire, just like the vampire who sired them. The exact nature of the human's death is irrelevant to this process; the only condition that must be met is that the body has to be more-or-less intact and able to function once they reawaken in transition. If the head or the heart are missing at the time of death, the person in question will not awake in transition, but simply stay dead.

Vampires can also still be stunned and dazed by strikes and trauma, though their tolerance for it will increase as they get older.

Such affects result in a beyond terminally ill, immortal-vampire patient with heightened emotions. Memory Gain: Vampires who wake up in transition always remember the memories of things they were compelled by vampires to forget while they were still human. This is due to the rule that vampires cannot be compelled except by an Original. Weakened by the Light: Sunlight tends to be harmful to (most) vampires.
