Porphyric Hemophilia

[Nero]

I did some reaserch and I found out that vampires suck blood because they have a metabolysm disease known as Porphyric Hemophilia which is a lack of red blood cells. They suck blood because that's the only way to get the red blood cells they're lacking.
(Actually, I know about the Porphyric Hemophilia from Oblivion, but I did some more reserch xD)

Here's some info from WikiPedia, I thought this would be usefull for roleplay.

Porphyrias are a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme bio-synthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway). They are broadly classified as acute (hepatic) porphyrias and cutaneous (erythropoietic) porphyrias, based on the site of the overproduction and accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors). They manifest with either neurological complications or skin problems (or occasionally both). A clinically induced and histologically identical condition is called pseudoporphyria. Pseudoporphyria is characterized by normal serum and urine porphyrin levels.

*Looks up from the mass stack of papers about the Vampire's blood and how it powers their abilities* Well fuck... There goes my work!

I love Oblivion. It's my favourite single player game. I'm happy now that I know that The Eldres Scroll V : Skyrim will be launched this year 11/11/11
