In an upcoming campaign, the DM and I have spoken in private about my character being a vampire in disguise. With a Rogue's set of skills, disguises, impersonations, and deceit should be achievable. The DM will be doing their best to treat me as a human character to see how far was can extend this ruse. The various oddities of a Vampire, such as feeding, being immune to healing, and not being able to enter a house without permission could easily be role played. Our setting is Barovia, so direct sunlight should not be an issue.

The one problem I dont know how to resolve, is how to deal with both a Cleric and Paladin who both can detect undead and evil with relative ease.

What sorts of items/excuses/backstory might my character use to either conceal or explain away any suspicion.

I wanted to consider options that were consistent with the rules/magical items available.

You want the second-level wizard spell Nystul's magic aura (listed in the SRD as arcanist's magic aura). This spell can disguise your creature type. The duration is 24 hours, but if someone casts it on you 30 days in a row, it becomes permanent until dispelled.

  @Gandalfmeansme There are "generic" versions of all the spells with a specific mage's name in their name, presumably so you can use them in a setting that doesn't include those specific mages in its lore. The spells are identical except for the name.

  As a note, if your backstory is that you are a vampire in hiding, your DM might allow you to start the campaign with a permanent magic aura spell already in place, with the assumption that you convinced or coerced someone with the spell into casting it on you some time in the past.
