    Long it was wondered why poetic Goths, despite their subliminal ability to craft words that elicit strong emotion from an audience, exhibited no further evidence of being psychics, or, indeed, of having any evolutionary capabilities. The latter was quite disappointing to many enthusiasts and researchers alike, as the potential that the said skill was evidence for seemed untappable, at least until the advent of the strange evolutionary item known as a moon shard. With its discovery, though, the long-sough evolution was unearthed... but, it wasn't exactly a pleasant one; the Psivamp.
    Physically, Psivamps resemble their pre-evolutionary forms for the most part, although there's obviously an element of their namesake too, in that many grow a bit taller, and generally become more fierce; more intimidating. The changes in this regard are mostly subtle, of course; fangs are perhaps the easiest to catch, but strengthened cheekbones, harsher eyes, and other elements are also common. The result is that Psivamps, as stated, look intimidating at first glance, and resemble Vampires quite distinctly, and for good reason.
    Said reason is perhaps best expressed by examining the breed's mindset; taking the subtle psionic manipulations of the poetic Goth a few steps further, Psivamps are ideally suited to psychological warfare. The mind of a poet, who once sought to move others with her words, is twisted into a far more devious configuration. Most Psivamps begin to feel that they only way to reach others is through shock, fear, and other negative emotions, which they then seek to create through their actions. As such, unless somehow strongly convinced otherwise, Psivamps tend to feel that they have to use such tactics to meaningfully express themselves to others, making them a somewhat “unwitting evil.”
    This aspect of their mindset is reinforced by the fact that their bodies' abilities are ideally suited to such expression. With the same subconscious ability to amplify emotional responses in others as poetic Goths, the ability to create localized illusions, and a naturally ability to modulate the tone of their own voices, they have no lack of resources with which to unnerve, scare, or horrify others through. However, because these abilities are almost entirely dependent on psychic/psionic powers, it is interesting to note that Psivamps as a whole tend to despise Dark-types and those with dark bloodgifts, as they cannot be “communicated with.” As such, most Psivamps will become depressed when faced with a dark-type, meaning that using one against them is often an excellent move. However, they, despite a weakness created by their infernal typing, react very enthusiastically when faced with Celestials, finding them to be very... receptive.
    In combat, Psivamps have a rather unusual style, but one that fits their skillset well; since few are capable of turning their psychic abilities into direct attacks, they generally use psychological warfare to make an enemy defeat herself. Such tactics include a well-placed illusion, a feint, taunts, all implying that her powers are far greater than they are. All combine with her psionic amplification of emotional responses to cause her foe to panic, slip up, and ultimately wear themselves out to a point that the Psivamp is capable of making some finishing blow. This strategy is aided by the fact that, as the breed name might indicate, they feed off the emotions of others, particularly fear and horror, and so a Psivamp will be kept empowered by her enemy's decline.
    As stated, though, due to its psychic dependence, this strategy can be stonewalled by a dark-type, which will usually cause a Psivamp to simply give up, a fact that makes the rivalry that Psivamps have with Daimon (a breed noted for having similar, if less extreme, tactic) all the more hateful, as the latter are of the dark type. It should be noted, though, that Divas and Psivamps sometimes have a more "friendly," competitive rival, as the two breeds share similar abilities.
    Sexually, Psivamps, as one might expect, usually have darker tastes; although not as heavily into BDSM as the Domina line, they enjoy it for a different reason, and so tend to have more intense feelings. Rape roleplay is common in harems containing Psivamps, as are other forms of domination, and a tamer who is willing to endure such things as well as deal them out will generally have a very, very loyal Pokégirl under his dominion. The affect of this style of sex-battles, though, is a crapshoot; although some Pokégirls will get excited more so than usual by a Psivamp's tactics, those who don't will often be turned off by them and thus gain quite an advantage over her. As such, few regular sex battlers use Psivamps.
    Ferals of the breed are a terror... but that's about it; without coherent coordination of their powers, they're nearly harmless, and a tamer running across a feral Psivamp could probably snag her easily enough once past the initial terror that she will likely attempt to induce. Thresholding into a Psivamp is possible, but not all common.
