Dunpeal R.C.C.
 More man than a Wampyr, yet not quite living, the Dunpeals are another deviant race from the original Vampire strain. Unlike Wampyrs, who seem to be flukes, the Dunpeal is the offspring of a Master Vampire and a unturned Human. While Wampyrs still maintain their rather 'undead' like state, feeding constantly on blood and fearing the light of the sun, Dunpeals fear these things less, however they can be stricken by 'heat syndrome' and are overcome with an animalistic blood lust from time to time. They are another bridge. They are about half as strong and agile as their Wampyr kin, but for some reason, they all are strikingly beautiful (boys, prepare to enter the Bishonen Zone), perhaps a trait recieved from their Master Vampire parent. They rarely possess any psychic power, but their ability to survive in sunlight gives them an advantage over their undead kin.
Despite the fact that they are more human than Wampyrs, Dunpeals are equally despised, no matter what good deeds they may perform. Guardians tend to sympathize with them more, but as a whole do not trust them anymore than they trust the Wampyr. Wampyrs are often envious of them, and Vampires hate them even more than the Wampyrs.
The only part of human society that has accepted the Dunpeal is the ADA/PAB/Spook Squad. Their scientific curiosity is insatiable, as Dunpeals present the chance to create a new breed of super soldier as strong as a Vampire, but able to walk in daylight. The ADA offers a roof, 3 square meals, and a chance to kill vampires for any Dunpeal willing to enlist their services.

Natural Abilities: Dunpeals share the vampire's super regenerative powers and heal 2d4 S.D.C/hit points every melee round. They have supernatural strength and endurance, and have the potential for psychic powers (see below). Dunpeals take half damage from metal weapons, but have no invulernabilities.
Vulnerabilities: Heat Syndrome: Dunpeals take no damage from sunlight, however, long periods in heat and sunlight (4-5 hours) will tax the Dunpeal to the point of complete incapacitation (actions reduced to 1 per melee, all combat bonuses negated and -3/-30% on all actions. They must either have a full 2 hours rest in the dark of the night, or 3 hours partially buried in a shady spot before they can move about freely again.
Bloodlust: While the Dunpeal does not NEED blood, their vampiric instincts often get the best of them. Once every month, if the Dunpeal has not feed, and is in a perfect situation to feed on some victim, the player must save vs. insanity -2. If they fail, then they will fall into Bloodlust and attempt to feed. Once they have fed, the madness passes, however, if they do not feed, the Bloodlust remains in affect for 1d4 hours before the Dunpeal will come to their senses.
Psionic Powers: If the Master Vampire who gave birth to the Dunpeal had extraordinary psychic power (10% chance), then the Dunpeal may start out with two powers in either the Sensitive or Physical Category. They may select one additional power from either of these categories for every even level of experience (2, 4, 6, etc.). They may alternatively select from Master Psionics at levels 4, 8, and 12.
