Their racial tree should contain:

1-Inflict negative levels on critical hits

2-An AOE effect that requires you to stand still simularly to the Shadar-kai chain attack and sacrifices HP as to weaponize one's blood Deadman Wonderland style where if said attack kills an enemy, negative healing can be received by the player.

3-A cleave attack variation of the Blood Feast SLA that can be leveled up to also inflict the Steal Life Force effect

4-Benefits for wearing heavy armor

5-The ability to use Bastard swords and sickles as favored weapons for The Blood Of Vol religion

6-Bastard sword proficiency

7-A racial variation of spring attack

8-Blood bond weapon effect (Just a re-flavored weapon attachment effect)

9-Your melee and unarmed attacks have a (10%) chance to heal you for 1d3 Negative Energy damage per character level (This should not stack with the pale master's vampire toggle)

10-Immunity to the negative effects from Blood Rage

11-Bonuses for when under the effects of Blood rage

12-A variation of the shadar-kai's improved shadow jaunt that can be used in combination with the racial variation of spring attack for fun combo maneuvers.

13-Multi-selector: Embrace Humanity: Your penalty to Positive Energy Healing is reduced from 50% to [40/30/20]%.
Embrace Vampiric Lineage: You gain +[1/2/3] Heal skill and +20/30/40 Negative Healing amplification.

14-Some kind of enhancement that would help make a medium armored rogue build viable

The race itself should have the following:

1-A feat that can be taken when a player reaches a base attack bonus of +6 that grants them immunity to sneak attacks and extra damage from critical hits at the cost of losing the ability to be healed by spells from the positive energy sub-school, such as Cure Light Wounds.

2-A feat that can be taken at level 20 that grants a Vryloka player +20 Negative Healing Amplification and 10 Magical Resistance Rating.

3-Blood Of Vol as the only deity option, because no other deity would want you!

4-A base positive healing penalty of 50% (like warforged start out with).

Lol, no wouldn't be needed, it would pretty much just be a Warforged racial tree edited to have aspects from the Shadar-kai tree and the warforged tree where the race itself would appear more like a human but basically have a set of racial feats normally belonging to a warforged but edited to be negative healing rather than repair related.

Additionally, I forgot to mention that the Vryloka would have a special form they could take if those chose the druid class that accepts negative healing (Bloodwolf) See the links below for more information!
