-I’m sure each of them has some line that’s just too much. Maybe something that reminds them a little too much of their own history, maybe something that just seems like it’s going too far. It would be very hard to pinpoint that specific line (and it would likely have a lot to do with their victims reactions), but yes, there is definitely some limit.
Admin Mawile: (*｀ー´) This is about the limit of not-nsfw, and honestly kind of pushing that. And the answer is none of them are. Like, seriously, it might as well be canon. Every one of them is rather distinctly experienced and that’s as far as I’m taking this explanation.
Admin Mawile: (ノ*゜▽゜*) This is a mix of canon and guessing!!
-First Blood powers, especially magic, seem to be incredibly diverse. The most common ability we see is the shapeshifting (Shin spends a lot of time as a wolf), and although Shin’s wolf from is the only one I know of seeing, both brothers can transform into a wolf, snake, eagle, or bat, with those four animal representing the four clans of magic beings (maybe just vampires??? i don’t exactly remember aaa).
Vampires to begin with have supernatural strength and speed, enhanced healing abilities, Familiar control, teleportation, hypnotism, mind control, and various other abilities that seem more unique to individuals, like Kanato’s fire. First Bloods are exactly that, the route species of the other four, and possess abilities of all four clans. They can do what the vampires can and more.
Carla’s magic has been shown to be destructive enough to smash through walls and do all kinds of damage, but also useful for for mundane purposes, like making magical flowers in place of fireworks. I think he knows a variety of types, ranging from the combat oriented to the practical to the just plain showy and entertaining. He has massive amounts of power, but the Endzeit weakens him to the point where much of it is hardly usable.
Admin Mawile: ┐(‘～`;)┌ Periods are just a thing. They happen, and that’s it. Period blood is really nothing like normal blood, and I highly doubt it would be edible to them, much less appealing. It’s… less blood, more goop and tissue and nasty stuff really. So, to vampires, periods are really nothing special. They might be less grossed out by it than humans, and some really weird vampires might feel a little differently, but overall, it’s just not a big deal to them.
Admin Mawile: (ノ*゜▽゜*) I think it may have been Skitty who did that explanation?? Idk, I’m giving some more background on the wings anyway!
-So, the wings come out of the vampire’s back, from the same area as the shoulder blade. Like vampires themselves, they don’t quite follow human laws of physics, and can materialize and materialize at will (although it sometimes happens unconsciously), even through clothes. They’re very, very delicate, with slender, fragile bones, thin skin, and amazingly soft fur the same color as the vampire’s hair. The wings are a vestigial feature, left over from when vampires were a lot less human, and they may or may not have something to do with vampire’s magic, as well. They’re extremely sensitive, especially to touch and pain; light yanking or pinching can hurt more than being punched.
Vampire society demonizes any kind of weakness, and most of them would rather just forget that anything so fragile is even a part of them. The wings are hardly ever brought up, and really only used as a creative way of causing pain. There’s a small area under the wing arm, close to the base where it merges back into skin that’s even more sensitive then the rest of the wing, most likely because unless the wing is spread open, it’s completely protected by the folds of the wing. On vampires that have had more social, non-neglectful childhoods, that spot is drastically more sensitive than the rest of the wing. This is supposedly the norm, what’s meant to happen. On the ones that have been mostly isolated or neglected, the overall sensitivity is greater, with less of a contrast between the majority of the wing and that spot. This is said to be the result of a certain kind of severe mistreatment, more of a forced adaption than anything that occurs normally.
The wings are also integral in the functioning of certain instincts, like the much hated attachment instinct. Like the wings themselves, the reflexes that they cause are hated by vampire society, and ignored entirely save for by those particularly cruel vampires who use them to torture their own kind. Unfortunately, this has really only made their idea of the problem worse. Most wings are now extra sensitive from disuse, slowly evolving into even greater weaknesses thanks to being deprived of any change to adapt to pain or contact. Through the generations, wings are getting even more fragile, even weaker, even more meant for only the very instincts they’ve been trying to forget about.

-Vampire society is a cruel place. Finding another who doesn’t intend to do some kind of harm is a sadly rare occasion, especially in the olden days, when vampires were likely to prey upon each other. So, in order to keep the rare person who had intentions of kindness around, an instinct developed. The bonding instinct (also known as attachment instinct) is a powerful, involuntary sense of connection and, well, attachment to a person that treats the vampire well. It’s intended to make them more appealing, someone worth staying near, so that the rare kind soul doesn’t want to leave.
-The bonding instinct is a very old, very much involuntary instinct; meaning that if it’s going to kick in, the vampire doesn’t have a lot of say in it. It can be stressful to be suddenly and forcibly attached to someone, especially considering the common views of “weakness” being shameful and unacceptable. It’s surprisingly easily triggered, though, even more so among vampires who have experienced little kindness in their lives. All it really takes is genuine affection, the kind of care so uncommon in their world, and from the time it kicks in, it only gets stronger with every bit of positive reinforcement, every further action that proves it to be warranted.
-Among vampires, it’s fairly rare. Vampires really aren’t nice to each other (the whole reason why the instinct began), and their modern society places undue importance on composure and the avoidance of perceived “weakness”. Showing most instincts, no matter how involuntary they are, is considered shameful, something to tamp down and deny for fear of opening one up to ridicule. Breaking the attachment instinct would be a difficult and painful process, composed mostly of proving once and for all that whoever it was directed to is more of a threat than a provider. Not to mention the stress and mental pain it would cause. Bonding instincts run deep, especially the long-time ones, and breaking one would take a truly awful experience.

-Actually, I’ve drawn xeno versions of all of their fangs! I’d have to hunt down the picture and redo it if I was going to post it though… But yes! Larger, more diverse fangs with more shapes than the canon “tiny little points”. The fangs is a bit optional though, because I do love the cute little fangs. As I’ve mentioned, de-fanging is a fairly common practice in Pet Au, so the vampires there could have no fangs at all.
-Slit pupils and eyes that seem to glow in the dark. Since vampires are nocturnal, I can picture them as having eyes like a cat’s that, especially in darkness, catch any light and glow like mini lasers. Eyes like this would come with more sensitive vision, too, and a much lower tolerance for bright light.
-A big part of the xeno traits are mental. There are a variety of instincts and tendencies that can shape a vampire’s behavior, often beyond their control. Most of them began as methods of survival, and even in modern times when their purpose hardly remains, the instincts themselves stubbornly stick around. Generally, they aren’t talked about, especially around humans, as the vampires themselves tend to see the instincts as shameful, useless weaknesses.

-I don’t know if “romantic” is quite the right word for it, but there are definitely owners that have some kind of relationship with their pets. Since the pets themselves are considered less than human, the laws on how they can and cannot be treated are much looser. This makes any relationship with that view horribly one-sided, especially as the pets are trained to obey their owner’s every command. There’s without a doubt a business for that kind of pet, though, and as such, there are special breeders that cater to such an interest.
Admin Mawile: (>ω<○) Nothing good…
-Training is basically a process of, starting from infancy, destroying any idea that the pet could ever be anything but. Systematically obliterating self preservation, individuality, free will, and any form of self esteem to create a creature that thinks it can only be a pet to someone.They’re supposed to perfectly defer to a human’s will, and never go against or cause harm to what are programmed to be their betters. Exact training methods vary from breeder to breeder, but the general principles of physical and mental pain, isolation, and dependency on humans stay the same. Beatings, solitary confinement, separation of any bonds but to an owner, de-fanging (and other processes designed to render a sentient creature helpless and dependent), restricted food, if not outright starvation, and regular “obedience training” are all common, but many trainers come up with even more cruel and inhumane ways of making harmless pets out of formerly dangerous creatures.
Admin Mawile: (~০౪০)ﾉ Ohoho, I have a headcanon for that~
-So first, a brief explanations of vampire eating habits. As we’ve seen in canon, they can consume both blood and regular food, and express hunger at a lack of either. Also considering Shuu’s North Pole trip, it would be safe to assume that if they can starve to death, it wouldn’t be easy. My idea is that it’s more or less impossible for a vampire to starve to death. A lack of blood makes them weak, achy and miserable, and both that and a lack of “regular” food can make it feel like they’re dying of hunger, but neither can kill them.
-Since they won’t die either way, most vampires owners don’t care if their pets go hungry or not. They feed them enough to keep them functional past the pain and exhaustion, and rarely any more. Blood isn’t easy to come by, not to mention annoying to keep and serve, and no one wants to waste much people food on a pet, so more often than not, they just go hungry. Vampires have to be fed something to remain functional (not dead, just too tired and drained to move), and blood can be bought at stores for exotic pet supplies, but not many owners go out of their way to keep their vampire well fed.
-Finally, there’s a fairly common practice among vampire owners of having their pets de-fanged. Most commonly done on individuals with a history of violent behavior or acting out, de-fanging is said to be extra insurance that the vampire will never pose a threat. Similar to de-clawing a cat, it removes the main way they can do damage, with the added bonus of (supposedly) making the vampire more submissive and even tempered. The practice started out, and mostly still continues, as being used on adult or adolescent vampires that were otherwise difficult to handle, but currently, some breeders even default to it at infancy. Unfortunately, it renders the vampire incapable of feeding the normal way, and forces them to lap up or drink blood the same way a human would have to with any liquid. Some have argued that it does serious harm to the vampire’s mental state, as well.
