A Damphir, is a human who is born with one parent (usually the father) whom is a vampire, and one whom is mortal. They have some strengths and weaknesses of a vampire. Most of the time, they can be called daywalkers, or halfbreeds, or halflings. They can have the ability of extream speed above the normal human, advanced hearing, sight, and smell and taste. Most do not require or thirst for blood as strongly as the full blooded vampire, but it makes them stronger. They do not burn at crosses, holywater, or other harmful enemies of the full blooded vampire. However every Damphir is diffrent. Where one may excel in an area, another may fail.

Damphir: A strange race to be true, Damphir are Vampires that are born, not created. Being born a Damphir gives them several advantages over their brethren, but they are weaker than a true vampire in most areas.

Merits: Being born and not created, the Damphir is unusually resistant to the Vampire's nemesis the Sun. They can survive hours in the sun, as long as they get into some shade every once in a while. Damphirs are also more physical than normal beings, and receive a 5% boost to all their physical statistics. Also each Damphir has a Guardian spirit of some kind, offering them tutalage(if you do not want this benifit, it can be rejected as the guardian spirit inhabits part of their body)

Flaws: Though they can survive the sun, it can still kill them. If they are too long in the sun without shade (oh about an hour), the begin to cook, like their progeny. If they become gravley injured, they cannot recover in the normal manner of the living or the undead, and must instead bury themsleves in a grave of tilled earth for three days. Sometimes their guardian spirit acts on it's own accord, sometimes causeing trouble for the Damphir.

Is rose a maroi?

If you're Talking About Rosemary Hathaway In The 'Vampire Academy' Books, Then No. Rose Is A Damphir, Which Means One Of Her Parents Are A Moroi, && The Other Is Either Human On Damphir. In Her Case, Her Dad Is A Moroi, && Her Mum Is A Damphir. A Very Famous Guardian Damphir At That


Why are damphir stronger than Moroi when they are only half vampire and Moroi are full vampire?

A vampire is a dead body re-animated. A dhampir is a living body that has a little extra added. do the math.


Hi my name is riaine I am a damphir and I fear know one I need to find my own kind were can I start?

Hi Riaine! Im eLaine. Um.....Im not really sure where to start. I am in the same situation as you.


What are the descendants of damphirs called and what powers do they have?

A damphir, pronounced roughly Damn-Fear ! is an occult term for a Hybrid or half-Breed Vampire. In realilty there is no such thing as a Vampire. There are, however creatures in the Animal Kingdom which have vampiric habits such as feeding on blood. These include the Vampire Bats and also the Zorilla, which is not a fox as the name suggests, but crazy as it sounds a sort of Vampire Skunk, a nasty sort of customer, methinks. Animals with Vampiric habits would be a special type of second order consumers, not eating meat but drinking blood, which is a vital body fluid. So much for Damphir. Vampirism is unknown among hybrid equine animals such as Mules!


What are the powers of Dhampires?

They don't have powers. They are just tougher, and stronger than humans. Moroi control one of the elements or spirit, but no damphir has a power. Moroi are soft, thin, and pale. Damphirs are big (not fat), tough, tan/pale (depends on where they live); the girls have curvy waists and big chests, that's why moroi boys like to use them for sex and sometimes blood. Does that answer your question?


Does dimitri belikov die in spirit bound?

No, he doesn't die. Lissa and Rose find Robert, and he tells them how to save a Strigoi, it involves staking them with a Spirit-Magic-Filled stake, and then a Spirit User (like Lissa/Adrian) which turns him back into a Dhampir. Lissa stakes him, and he turns back into a damphir. But cause of the spirit-staking thing, he is now in love/lust with Lissa, and doesn't even want to see Rose. And rose gets accused of killing the queen what a shocker. That was a WTF moment. Can't wait till last sacrifice comes out on December 7 hells yea. And I do certinly hope lissa gets to be queen even though she is 18 it would be cool.


What is vampire academy is about?

It is about 2 vampire girls Princess Vasilisa "Lissa" Dragomir and her best friend Rose Hathaway who is training to become a guardian. They go to a special vampire school in Montana named St. Vladimirs this is where Lissa meets Christian and Rose meets a guardian named Dimitri.Who is Lissa's guardian who helps her practice. But they can"t be together


What happens in book 5 Spirit Bound?

well after rose finally becomes a guardian she runs off with lissa to free victor that bad dude lol from prison well now your saying " why the beep did she do that!" i will tell you she did it because victor suposedly has a brother that has changed a strigoi back to life. so when they get him out he calls his brother and they meet him. the brother, Robert, says to restore a strigoi you have to get a silver stake charmed with spirit and stake the strgoi with it but only a spirit user can do it. so lissa says she will do it and rose says no way!all the sudden dimitri and his strigoi buddies ambush where rose and her friends are but they get away but victor and Robert have already gotten away. but nothing can stop lissa so she secretly trains with christian her former boyfriend for how to stake a strigoi. then while lissa is vistiting her new school dimitri and his other strigoi capture her and christian to lure rose to him. rose gets almost all the guardians to form a group and go get them out. while everyone is fighting rose goes in to kill dimitri. but liass and christian push her out of the way and lissa stakes dimitri with her charmed stake and there is a great light and when rose looks she sees dimitri is a damphir again! but the only problem is dimitri has changed in the heart to he says to rose he is unable to love her anymore because of the things he did to her in russia. that slowly breaks roses heart but she is in denial. but after a conversation in church with dimitri he shatters her heart for the last time by saying " I've given up on you, love fades. Mine has" i know harsh right? well rose runs out of church and decides to move on. her current boyfriend Adrian Ivashkov visits her that night she decides her is the won for her but i think your getting the point. so the next morning rose goes to get something to eat for breakfast there she runs into dimitri but she is way to pissed off to talk to him after what he did to her. but as she is walking past dimitri's table she is stopped by dimitri's guard and they start talking. she has to be close to dimitri so she ends up talking to him. just then a group of royal guards brust in and try to take rose away. rose tries to fight back but there are too many all the sudden dimitri goes in to his old kick butt self and starts to defend rose. but rose relises that if dimitri keeps fighting it won't help people think dimitri has changed so she has to scream for dimitri to stop fighting. when he finally does the guards grab rose and say she is being charged for high treason. i know what your thinking she is getting busted for freeing victor but no! she has been convicted of killing the queen tatiana! ah! so rose goe sto court to try to defend herself but there is too much evidence against her so she has to have a trial. but i know your waiting to know what happens next but guess what that is where the book ended! fudged up right? well i hope i helped if any of you out there have anything to add please do so! bye!
