Vampires?

[Sakura Revolution]

Yeah, we need a few new subjects...

so...

vampires!  

[Sacred Angeleus]

What kind of vampires are we talking about here? Anne Rice style vamps or "living human vamps"?  

[PeaceMaker]

Don't forget Psychic Vampires either.

Don't forget Psychic Vampires either.

Psychic vamps would also fall under the category of LHVs (or HLV if you prefer...).

I have another question...are we considering psychic vamps in this or is it just the sanguinarians (the blood drinkers) ?  

[XCactus123X]

I say we consider them all, as they all are vampires. Anyways, I'd like to speak on this subject, so here i go:

Things that are true:
-Vampires do drink blood
-They are more prone to getting sunburn
-They have heightened senses, especially when it comes to vision is relation to sunlight
-Psychic Vamps feed off of people's energy or prana, by means of "feeding" in this, it's hard to explain but it's a transfer of energy from host to donor
-Vampires are born, not made or "turned"

Not true:
-Not allergic to Garlic, most like it actually
-Anyone who's gets stabbed with a stake through the heart is going to die
-Doing anything to a dead body is wrong, vampires don't turn after they're dead
-Won't die in direct sunlight, they do however have more of a tendency of being sunburnt and sunlight does hurt the eyes more than a normal human (Causes major headaches too)

I guess I shall consider myself the vampire expert here if you all don't mind, and anything else you'd like to ask, please feel free to and I shall answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability. By the way, I am a Psy Vamp.

hmmm....

thanks cactus!

I always wondered, are psy vamps born that way?  

[Lord Jagged]

Ah, vampires. These, aparently, are my forte.

There are a number of medical condtions that have been put forward to explain the superstition of vampires, although I cannot remember their names right now.  

[XCactus123X]

Contrary to what Hollywood and literature teaches you kids, you cannot
be "turned" into a vampire by biting or blood-sharing. Vampires simply
are. It's something that you're born with. All go through what is called
an "awakening", and this is where your body and mind-set start to change
to take on the vampiric way. Things that happen (or that in most cases
can be associated with) are:
-depression
-increased sensitivity to light
-crave blood (sang.)
-feeling/seeing energy (psy.)
-irritability

I think they should make vampirism an actual medical term... my doctor
said he didn't know what was wrong with me, and I found out what I was
going through on my own. So, If you think you could be a vamp, I'd say
DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! If you don't, you'll never truely know who you are.
Oh and just because you have one or more of what's listed abve doesn't
make you a vamp, again with the research! Oh, and soul searching is a
BIG help, meditate to find the answers if you can, I know that helped me
out a lot! smile  

[Lord Jagged]

-depression
-increased sensitivity to light

-irritability

Um...
All those can apply to me...
I'm pretty sure I am not a vampire though....  

[Amarao90]

I beleive in zombies...but not vampires.

I'm not quite sure how something that is braindead can stay alive...

Hm, a new thread topic?  

[XCactus123X]

My thoughts exactly. I don't get how people can NOT believe in the thought of there being Vampires, but I guess to each their own. As I said Jagged, just because you have the symptoms doesn't mean you are one. Just do your research though if you think you may be. Any other quetions?

*blink* A friend of mine is(was?) a vampire... I haven't talked to her in a few weeks, so I'll have to ask her again, but... well, I was with her during her "awakening", and she was turned. She met this guy at a party, and he bit her(don't remember where), and then he had her bite him. Later he told her that he was a vampire, and that she would soon be turning. I helped her through this time by giving her energy(since she obviously couldn't go around biting people), but she definately was one at that time(still is...? I'll ask...). I know that she was; I could feel it.  

[Lord Jagged]

Another actual vampire, yet she was actually turned. This seems contrary to Cactus' beliefs.
This could add something to the topic.
This could be a good source of infomation.
