Origins

Infected Daywalker Vampires are individuals who have been bitten by a vampire and infected with the vampire virus. This virus alters their DNA and turns them into a vampire. On the other hand, Retroviral Daywalker Vampires are humans who have been injected with a retrovirus that modifies their genetic makeup, giving them vampire-like abilities.

Strengths

Infected Daywalker Vampires possess enhanced strength, speed, and agility, making them formidable opponents in combat. They also have accelerated healing abilities, allowing them to recover from injuries much faster than a regular human. In contrast, Retroviral Daywalker Vampires have the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness, giving them a stealth advantage in battle. They can also hypnotize their victims and control their minds.

Weaknesses

Infected Daywalker Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, which can weaken and eventually kill them if they are exposed for too long. They also have a strong aversion to garlic and holy water, which can repel them. On the other hand, Retroviral Daywalker Vampires are susceptible to silver, which can cause them harm if they come into contact with it. They also have a weakness to fire, which can be used as a weapon against them.

Feeding Habits

Infected Daywalker Vampires need to consume human blood to survive. They can either feed directly from a living victim or store blood for later consumption. Some Infected Daywalker Vampires have developed a taste for animal blood as an alternative to human blood. Retroviral Daywalker Vampires, on the other hand, do not need to feed on blood to sustain themselves. They can survive on a regular human diet, although some may still choose to drink blood for pleasure or to enhance their abilities.

Relationship with Humans

Infected Daywalker Vampires often have a strained relationship with humans, as they are seen as dangerous predators. They must hide their true nature to avoid detection and persecution. Some Infected Daywalker Vampires form alliances with humans to protect themselves from other supernatural threats. Retroviral Daywalker Vampires, on the other hand, have a more symbiotic relationship with humans. They can use their abilities to protect and serve humanity, earning their trust and cooperation.

Longevity

Infected Daywalker Vampires have an extended lifespan compared to regular humans, as the vampire virus slows down the aging process. However, they are not immortal and can be killed by various means. Retroviral Daywalker Vampires also have a longer lifespan due to their altered genetics, but they are not invulnerable to death. They must still be cautious and avoid situations that could put them in danger.
