Psychic Vampyres
Psi~Vamps are people who have the ability to drain away energy in all of its forms. To do so enhances their mental and physical energies as normal feeding would to regular Vampires. A Psi~Vamps may or may not be psychic in the normal sense, but this terminology means the psychic ability to drain another of energy or life forces. It also means such an individual can drain thoughts, emotions, life force, mental and physical strengths. About 50 percent of Psi~Vamps do so automatically without intending to or even realizing that they are doing so. Everyone has known or shall know a person like this, be it a sibling, lover, relative or friend. No matter how little time you spend with them you always feel tired and weak when they leave. The other 50 percent do so with intent. Some do so just to increase their own power, while others do so as a challenge --- a sort of game, to see how much they can take.
Like Vampires, Psi~Vamps can sense another of their kind and sometimes attack mentally just to see if the victim feels it or reacts to it. They enjoy the hunt and love the challenge when the victim feels it and tries to block or responds in kind. Then it becomes more than a battle of Will. There is no magic attached to this, it is pure mental and psychic energy and force of will. The prevailing belief is the Psi~Vamp attacks from the Astral Plane ... controlling the Astral State and it's Astral Body. This does not mean the Psi~Vamp or Symbiotic is a creature or spirit or anything else living or originating on the psychic plane. By doing so he/she can launch an attack upon the Astral Body of anyone else.
In general, and of course there are exceptions to everything, most Psi~Vamps are, by many, thought of as being negative. Many Psi~Vamps care very little that the energies they are draining could seriously hurt the prey. Especially if the victim is weak from illness, injury or is in a diminished mental state due to mental illness, physical illness or severe depression. By feeding on these victims, the loss of both physical and mental energies to the extreme could cause death. It is believed that the Psi~Vamps tries to make itself immortal by preventing the "second death". The second death being the death of the Astral Body shortly after the death of the physical body.
The Psi~Vamps attempts to gain its immortality by drawing the physical energy of life-force and physical strength from its victims in amounts it hopes to amass to ensure the survival of the strength of its astral body after the release of physical death. It is generally believed if this state of increased physical energy to the astral body is sufficient, the astral body of the Psi~Vamps could possibly be freed, upon the death of the physical body and yet maintain its own separate "living" (i.e.: continuing) astral state. In so doing, the astral body of the Psi~Vamps would then be freed to continue the drawing off of energies of both astral and physical bodies of those remaining alive. In a sense, gaining a true immortality. Involuntary Psi~Vamps often do not realize they are draining energies of those around them. It is thought that these people do so on a non-conscious level. In many cases the involuntary Psi~Vamps is, in some way, ill or in some sort of diminished capacity. The energies being drawn from those around may be an automatic procedure of their own astral bodies in an effort to gain strength to preserve or create a more healthful state for its own physical body.
SymbioticThis is perhaps the other side of the coin, as Symbiotic or Symbiosis is a form of Psi~Vamps. But instead of feeding off of the life force, and physical and mental energies, this Vampire feeds off of the spiritual energies and electro-bio-chemical energy found in a person's aura. Feeding off this energy can also have a negative effect on the source. However, this Vampire is known for draining the negative energies away from or off of the aura, allowing these energies to be naturally replaced by the person's own individual aura replacements. Example: A person is ill or weak, his aura is black, and gray or greenish yellow, or perhaps purple. If a Symbiotic begins to drain off this energy, the person's own recuperative powers become stronger and the physical, mental or spiritual healing may proceed at a faster pace.
Again, in general, Symbiotic tend to be thought of as more positive. Most Symbiotic do what they do with intent -- unlike their cousin the Psi~Vamps; only a few do so unawares. Psi~Vamps is short for Psychic Vampire. Again, a Symbiotic may be a real Vampire i.e., Classical, Inheritor, Night timer, etc. or a human. The term Vampire is used in this case mainly because there is a draining or feeding, even though most regular Vampires are not Symbiotic or Psi~Vamps. Any human may be a Symbiotic or Psi~Vamps. The victims are not usually aware of a Symbiotic, as the results usually make the so-called victim feel much better. Most Psychic Vampires and Symbiotic are not blood feeders, and therefore are not generally considered true Vampires.
The term psychic, as in having ESP or other psychically related qualities, does not in this instance refer to a Psi~Vamps. Most humans are indeed psychic to some extent, in the normal use of the word. Because they are human, Psi~Vamps and Symbiotic may indeed also display some degree of psychic ability but, as referred to the term Psi~Vamps or Psychic Vampire does not relate to this characteristic. Most Psi~Vamps can see auras easily, or may be trained to do so. Where in general, most bloodiest Vampires do not have that capability but may be able to develop it. Bloodist Vampires, on the other hand, do tend to be highly psychic in the true sense of the term, as a normal function of their being. Psychic Vampires tend to be human, have normal human life spans and, except where already discussed, are not immortal in the normal sense of the word.
