Torpor

Torpor
One of the five main vampiric terms. A vampire, if faced with a wound too large to heal will inevitably lose too much blood for their bodies to handle. It is at this point they fall into a state known as Torpor. It has been likened to a coma for vampires, and while this is technically true, it is more akin to a hibernation.

Physical Reasoning
You body, realising that it’s precious sources of energy are leaving it’s body, being to shut down any unnecessary processes required to keep it’s self alive. This means the ability to move, talk, even think or process rational thought is gone, your body storing what energy is left to keep the base of brain operations running to keep your body falling into final death. This does not just happen due to grievous wounds, but also if a vampire has not fed in a long time. Vampires, while being able to ignore the effects of torpor, will almost surely die if they do because torpor is only initiated when a Vampire only has enough energy for a few more conscious actions, if that. So unless there is someone extremely close at hand for an easy meal, Torpor is where they will find themselves.

Leaving Torpor
To leave Torpor, another being must feed you blood. As you are in Toropor, you cannot ask to do this, but must hope that someone takes pity on you - or that your fail safes work.
