In the late 21st century, over 5,000 people are victims of a disease called hemophagia. These "hemophages" bear some similarities to vampires. They're strong. They're fast. They're superior. So the government decided to utilize that disease to their advantage.
Now, keep in mind, that these hemophages were originally slaves of the government, designed to be the ultimate weapons. However, they became a threat, and the government decided they didn't want competition. So they started to exterminate them. One, by one, the hemophages fell to the tyrannical governments. Now, there are only 5 left, and they have decided...
...to fight back.

Hemophagia, otherwise known as the HemoPhagic Virus or HPV (not to be confused with Human Papilloma Virus), is a blood disease (possibly comes from the Greek word "αιμοφαγία", meaning blood eating). It was once a rare pathogen responsible for historical accounts of Vampires, but was then modified through genetic engineering by the U.S government to give individuals superhuman abilities. These modifications also made the disease far more contagious, and it soon escaped into the general populace, where the media whipped it into a disease-based state of fear. To help combat the fact that the quarantine procedures are actually a witch hunt, the authorities have discouraged the use of the term 'vampire' in favor of labeling carriers of the disease Hemophages.
Hemophages are biochemically affected by the disease in different ways and to different degrees, resulting in a remarkably wide range of abilities. Some of the abilities exhibited by hemophages are:
Increased strength, speed and stamina. This could be the result of an increased level of natural hormones similar to anabolic steroids, as well as altered epinephrine (adrenalin) and norepinephrine levels. As the latter would produce an aggrivated fight-flight response; which affects the sympathetic nervous system to directly increase heart rate, release energy from fat, and increase muscle readiness. Meaning, this could be the reason for the hair-trigger temper of the more combat-oriented Hemophages.
A rare few develop enhanced intelligence, perhaps by increasing the potency of neurotransmitters responsible for memory and cognition.
A similar process may be responsible for the seemingly common phenomenon of enhanced senses.
Many have extremely sensitive hearing, shown to great affect when the kingpin hemophages were able to escape an ambush by helicopter.
Hemophages have an inconveniently high sensitivity to light, accompanied by equally keen night vision. This forces them to wear heavily-tinted sunglasses. Some do not have this particular trait, including two of the kingpi hemophages, enabling her to move about more freely.
However, every hemophage exhibits the following two enhancements:
A buildup of calcium deposits in the mouth that manifest as the cliched 'fangs'.
An accelerated metabolism that speeds healing.
Although the disease has many benefits, it has two side effects: one inconvenient, one devastating:
A condition smiliar to acute anemia that requires frequent blood transfusions.
A drastically shortened lifespan. Even with the aforementioned frequent transfusions, the longest an infected individual has survived is 12 years.
The government uses the above traits to identify hemophages from the general
