Birth
The birth of a vampire does not stray too far from traditional methods. A vampire must bite and drain a human to near death, then feed the human their blood. The sire then buries themselves with their new childe until they are reborn as vampire.
Age
As a vampire ages it becomes stronger and faster, but their resistance to silver does not improve. Unfortunately the effect of sunlight increases to the point that a thousand year old vampire dies in seconds.("Release Me"). Lorena and Bill were shown to bleed while awake during the day, despite her being older than Bill. Older vampires rule over the younger vampires but also have to protect them against attacks from humans and other creatures. Older vampires also own their offspring in a way, Lorena had to allow Bill to leave in 1935 before he could go.
Status
Older vampires have more strength and speed than younger vampires. An older vampire will control the younger ones. The Hierarchy consists of Kings and Queens, then down to Sheriffs. There are also Magisters, who will give rulings on vampire disputes. The oldest vampire introduced is Godric known to be 2000 years old, he was the sheriff of Dallas but he could have been the King of the entire south if he had chosen to. The Queen of Louisiana was Sophie-Anne Leclerq and all of the Sheriffs within Louisiana had to answer to her.

The chain of command in a vampire nest looks like this Oldest Vampire ; then descending in order of age.
Land
Each country is divided into sections, each section is divided into an area. The section will usually be a large area of the country, for example the southern states of America are all one section divided into 5 or more areas. Each section will be ruled by a King or Queen, this will be a very old and very powerful vampire and command a lot of respect from all other vampires in their section. The King or Queen will appoint a sheriff to each area of their section. The sheriff will have absolute power of that area however they will have to answer to their King or Queen.
