Yes, they live longer and look younger, hence "enjoying a longer prime" in their description XD It'd suck to hit 60, look old and be looking like Gandalf for the next 100 years.

Sometimes they do coexist peacefully. :3 Um, here's the description of them I haven't been able to put up for information yet. XD
"Vampires are not supernatural creatures. They are not undead. They cannot shapeshift. They do not fear crosses any more than anyone else, nor are effected by holy water, and tend to only get sleepy during the day. "Vampire" is simply a (mostly deragatory) name given to the next evolutionary step to the normal human being. The differences between a "Vampire" and a "human", include the Vampire's greater height, weight and strength, longer prime and lifespan, bone and muscle density, slightly wolfish features, pointier eartips, stronger teeth, ability to see better in the dark (and therefore, nocturnal traits), and the ability to eat raw or spoiled foods ( and because of that, technically their ability to drink blood).
"Vampires" come from all corners of the world as well. They tend to live in colonies of other Vampires, mostly their own Families (and "Family" is the word used to describe a colony of Vampires, whether or not they are all related) and the families of those that they trust. Trust in the Vampire world is few and far between, despite their initial coming together to protect themselves from the armed "human" mob, the Vampire families have begun fighting amongst themselves, due to those that wish to repair the bridge between human and Vampire, and those that have become bitter and are willing to keep the fiendish nickname and image in order to punish the weaker, but more numerous mundane human.
Among the Families that are attempting to regain the trust of humans are the influential ( and well-off) Tzepa Family of Romania. The eldest son of the Lady Tzepa, Jen, is one of the Organization's Top Tier agents, taking up the Third Tier shortly after he joined, following the apparent kidnapping of his betrothed, the French Noblesse, Cinderlla de Souvre, in an attempt to see if any opposing families or demons were behind the act."
So basically, He mostly tries to keep it to himself (despite being bad at it) because, while the Organization accepts him due to the fact that his family is known for trying to help (and large monetary sums ), there are those within it that absolutely do loathe Vampires and would cause more trouble than it's worth. Truth is a lot of the people that are in the organization have some percentage of it in their lineage (like Aden), but are unaware of it. Aden's one of those who are severely against Vampires and hates them with a passion. It mostly comes down to the individuals involved, but there are a lot of blanket statements because it just "makes things easier".

The designs are great, keep working on the colors relationship and the value control. Add more planning to those areas, they should be even more successful.
This guy looks kind of cool too, I am still not too sure what you are planning to do... are you writing or are you drawing a comic on this?

Thank you! For some reason his tassel caps took me a while to get the way I wanted, which sucked, because they're so damn plain, haha. I love magpies as well, they're really gorgeous birds!
