This is a naturally-occurring reaction in the universe once artificial time-traveling becomes too widespread, because it usually results in the people creating the machines being culled by outbreaks of vampires who only use their time machines long enough to eat all the people.

TIME of course being the global triumvirate attempting to unite the multiverse under their tyrannical empire. Their true identities are unknown but the multiversal resistance has dubbed them Those Idiots Messing with Eternity

>A vampire that gains self-awareness is usually unmade by TIME so that their essence may be re-purposed at a later date, their essence broken down and consumed.

Piercing a vampire's heart is the only way to kill the vampire for good, all other methods only temporarily destroy the vampire, allowing TIME to reform them in a different universe or period. When a vampire's heart is pierced, all of time freezes for everyone except the vampire hunter, and TIME itself, allowing a precious few moments for the hunter to gain some of TIME's knowledge before the world returns to normal.

>Piercing a vampire's heart is easier said than done however, as each vampire is different and their heart is never located in any one part of their body. Some vampires can even move their heart to different points of their being at random.

>>54338260
This coupled with the fact that vampires come in all shapes and sizes results in a certain school of vampire hunters losing interest in hunting the heart, and just destroying the vampire however they can. Sure, it will result in someone else needing to deal with them, but out of sight, out of mind...right?

Bump.

there is one kind of vampire that feeds on sexual energy, generally referred to as a succubus
in a twist of cruel irony however, it has a special quality that causes it's skin to take on textures and looks that are designed to disgust anyone looking at it by incredible amounts. no matter how perverted somebody may be, it will make them recoil.

One of the more common weapons used to fight off vampires (but not necessarily kill them outright) is the "Flashlight," which emits a wave of high-energy radiation.

Like vampires, some orcs also become aware of their situation, and defect from TIME.
Similarly, while TIME unmakes most self-aware orcs, a rare few manage to escape this fate, and attempt to live normal lives in the universe they've been dumped in.
