Donor

Donor is the term used by vampires for human prey that are hunted and killed in order to feed on their blood to replace their own. A vampire's feeding cycle is approximately once a month, in order to replace the red blood cells that cannot be replaced by a vampire's body, which is the basis of the need to feed on blood. If an injury causes a vampire to lose a large amount of their own blood reserves more sustenance is needed and may require a vampire to hunt several times within one month. Most donors are chosen at random, however it can become difficult as a vampire can pick up the thoughts and experiences of the Donor, which can lead to a 'guilt complex'-like condition. Once a Donor has been 'drained' the body is then considered Slag.
