First off, I want to apologise for being such a moron. My spamming over the past few weeks was stupid and annoyed a lot of people. It's time for me to get semi-serious. :p

(But not quite. ;) )

So, a scenario for you - a Vampire of the opposite sex approaches you, offering you to join them in eternal life as a creature of the night. Would you say yes? Or would you say no? Perhaps you would even try to kill them?

I open the floor to madness.

Well, what kind of vampire?

The Dracula kind (ie the cool, original kind)? Or the stupid, newer vampires that are the good guys and dont have any of the vampires weaknesses OR powers?

If its the Dracula kind, fuck yes make me one. Calling storms? Turning into fog, wolves, and bats? Having any woman go crazy with sexual lust just by being within 15 feet of me? Sign me up.

As with KOL depends on the variety of vamp. What kind of powers would I have? What weaknesses?

Standard Vampire. Dracula style.

... can't say really. if she made the offer, then she would be open for some questions.
depending on those answers...

Standard Vampire. Dracula style.

As I said, then sign me the fuck up.


Just being able to turn into fog and call storms is AWESOME.

And the whole, women and sexual lust thing I mentioned earlier.

Standard Vampire. Dracula style.

Well, immortality, eternal youth, sex at the drop of the pants, and only a few minor inconveniences. Yeah, that's a tough one.

If it´s a Kiryuu Zero or a Kuran Kaname, fuck yeah I would say yes to joining them.

Look at these boys!

Vampires suck. ;)

Mmmm... and bless them for that. :D

If it´s a Kiryuu Zero or a Kuran Kaname, fuck yeah I would say yes to joining them.

Too bishie.

Yeah, I dont know who would say no lol.

Too bishie.

I´m a bishounen lover!;)

Standard Vampire. Dracula style.Which Dracula style? I mean, one would assume Stoker's version, but you'd be surprised how many people didn't read that.

Well, immortality, eternal youth, sex at the drop of the pants, and only a few minor inconveniences. Yeah, that's a tough one.Your own personal nemesis hunting you, mindless obedience to your sire...

Yeah, I dont know who would say no lol.

well, there's the whole insatiable appitite for blood...
the string of bodies usually left behind after feeding...
the inability to take drugs, acohol and other substances...

Which Dracula style? I mean, one would assume Stoker's version, but you'd be surprised how many people didn't read that.

Stoker's literary version. The only one that counts.

Which Dracula style? I mean, one would assume Stoker's version, but you'd be surprised how many people didn't read that.

the Leslie Nelson version. :p

well, there's the whole insatiable appitite for blood...

the inability to take drugs, acohol and other substances...

But the blood will make you swoon.

But the blood will make you swoon.
so will the lack of blood... ;)

But the blood will make you swoon.

Blood for a Vampire is a bigger rush than any drug... and the victim enjoys it too. :)

so will the lack of blood... ;)

What if I was your vampire?:D

well, there's the whole insatiable appitite for blood...
the string of bodies usually left behind after feeding...
the inability to take drugs, acohol and other substances...

Depends, does Dracula have to drain the person dry to feed? I don't think so. If it's nothing more than a little nip with no corpses lying about it's quite benign.

got a question. people mention sex.

but as a vampire, you have no pulse... no movement of blood outside of your digestive tract...

so how will certain parts of the body be able to.... stand up to the task of sex?

According to Anne Rice lore, the male vampire sex is always hard.

In Vampire Knight, the Vampires still have blood of their own and beating hearts.

then I'll just be your humble human servant who will watch over you while you sleep.

Think about how much food you need to eat per day to survive.

Gods that'd be frustrating.

I think it'd take more blood than a person actually has if you were burning it for calories. Not sure, I remember reading the math on it ages ago.

Gods that'd be frustrating.

I find it convenient.

According to Anne Rice lore, the male vampire sex is always hard.which explains the perchance of flowing robes... :tongue:

In Vampire Knight, the Vampires still have blood of their own and beating hearts.
and the OP said Dracula type.

Dracula tended to drain the person dry over the course of a period of time. At least thats what he did with Lucy.

Meh, he seemed to find a way.

Anne Rice fucking sucks.

Anne Rice fucking sucks.

I happen to think she´s an amazing writer. Her prose´s highly descriptive and elegant.

I think it'd take more blood than a person actually has if you were burning it for calories. Not sure, I remember reading the math on it ages ago.

if we go by the Game Mechanics of White Wolf.

one blood point is spent a day automatically (max 10 for this generation of Vamps)
exerting yourself burns more blood points.
I believe it was if you drain 5 points from a person, they die.

but then consider how many pints of liquid one drinks in a day.

considering that blood will be the ONLY food you eat... yeah, it will be used for calories and other stuff.

I happen to think she´s an amazing writer. Her prose´s highly descriptive and elegant.

Well, I like you enough to allow you to have your own opinion:p



I detest her take on vampires. She took away all their weaknesses, and made them good guys in the process. That makes them so, so, so much less interestng.

what's wrong with making [some] of them good?

btw... I think Marvel Comics Morbius was created before Anne Rice's Vampire books.

If you read in between the lines, her vampires are villains still. Take Lestat for example. He´s a monster, and he enjoys it.

Ok, fair enough.

However, her taking away all their weaknesses pissed me off. They can touch crosses, be near garlic, etc.


If you understood the symbolism and social commentary that was in Stoker's Dracula, and even without all that, taking away the vampires traditional weaknesses makes them 100% less interesting.

Stoker's literary version. The only one that counts.Then hell no. No way would I want all that power only to have to be a mindless slave to my sire.
the Leslie Nelson version. :p
Nah, he's vulnerable to sunlight, unlike Stoker's version.

Ok, fair enough.

Oh, I understand that. However, Stoker´s take on vampires I did not like. His Dracula, besides fucking up a national Romanian hero, makes the vampire less romantic. Shoot me, I am a hopless romantic!!:eek2:

Ok, fair enough.

However, her taking away all their weaknesses pissed me off. They can touch crosses, be near garlic, etc. I took the crosses thing to be one that requires faith. a cross is just a symbol. but to have power, one needs faith. Something that's lacking in today's world.

There's nothing wrong with being a romantic - I am myself. ;)

Oh, I understand that. However, Stoker´s take on vampires I did not like. His Dracula, besides fucking up a national Romanian hero, makes the vampire less romantic. Shoot me, I am a hopless romantic!!:eek2:

But...how did Stoker make vampires less romantic when Dracula was first? In the legends before Stoker that vampires are based on they werent really romantic either.


If anything, Rice made them romantic. Which ruins them, imo.

maybe if i got alucards power from hellsing alucard owns

I took the crosses thing to be one that requires faith. a cross is just a symbol. but to have power, one needs faith. Something that's lacking in today's world.

The vampire is the symbol of the outsider, the symbol of those society rejects and demonizes. The cross is meant to show that Victorians viewed outsiders as having a lack of religion.


I wrote a 19 page paper on the symbol of Dracula for an english class, so if you WANT me to get more descriptive, I can. Id just prefer not to right now :p

As I understand vampire lore, once a man has become a vampire, he becomes incapable of "the act." Even Viagra has no effect. You sure you want to go through with this?

There were other stories about the romantic image of the vampire before Rice. You have Sheridan LeFanu´s Carmilla, for example.

While Dracula never explicitly had sex in Stokers novel, it was implied in regards to Lucy.

But I suppose that is up for debate.

no need. let's not hijack this thread further. :p

Read Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's series about the Count St. Germaine.

another "misty Lackey" explination is that the victim enters a state of euphoria, similar to a massive sexual Orgasm. this serves two purposes.
1) renders the victim 'helpless'. (as seen by their swooning in the Vamps arms)
and
2) the victim won't flee. making feeding easier.

from her "Children of the Night" book.

Yes, I do like it. But mainly cos I have a blood fetish and I find the act of the biting highly erotic.

In Brian Lumley's Necroscope series,the Vampire is a symbiostic being that resides in a human body.-http://www.brianlumley.com

Gackt says he´s a vampire.

That's how it works in White Wolf, isn't it? Human vampire hunters, if they have sufficient faith, can repel or harm Kindred? I don't actually play the RPGs, I've just played one of the PC games.




Also, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurVampiresAreDifferent
One of the cursed forever kind of vampires, no thanks. One of the less balanced, all advantages hardly any disadvantages kind. Fuck yeah, free awesomeness.

not just RPG's.

the Movie Fright Night. Nothing spurs faith like staring at the teeth of a vampire. :p

You mean the Count Orlok type of vampire? No, rather not. At least not for her, but maybe for the immortality.

If you mean that other, traditional vampire that you happen to meet when you are heading home after an exceptionally late school lesson, it's october and its getting dark outside early in the afternoon already, and you want to take a shortcut home, over the local cemetary... And then, all of a sudden, this girl pops up, ya know, with looong black hair and ruby lips, sitting on a gravestone, and you're thinking "Nice gothlol outfit, but isn't it a tad bit cold for her in that dress? And she does look pale. Dead pale." And you walk up to her and ask her wether you could give her your jacket, and she makes you that offer? I mean, just writing this has made me fall in love with her :D I think I wouldn't be declining.

this thread reminds me of a game scenario I put together.

the heroes were hired by a 'lost prince' who needed the adventurer's help in overthowing the vampire that took over his father's lands and forced him (as a child) into exile.

the Heroes went forth to slay the vile creature...

only to discover that the people actually liked the vampire in power. the Count realized that by sacrificing certain materialistic needs, he would look favorable to his townspeople.

so taxes were extremely low. the people were encouraged to learn. corrupt officals were fed upon (including corrupt guardsmen.) a lottery of 5 people were given to the vampire to feed (and because it's spread among 5 people, no one dies) and their families are spared taxes for that month, orphans were taken in and raised... and in return, the towns people protected the vampire, who freed them from the previous tyrant.

it was a mind fuck for the players... do they do what they were hired out to do, or do they let the vampire live and continue his reign.

You do NOT ask me this question while I am watching Buffy.

No, and I will kill them. I will first employ a holy symbol and faith to drive them away (yes, I do wear a holy symbol at all times, and my personal religious zeal is pretty damn strong). I will then employ the old adventurer's standby: KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Fire seems to be the most reliable method for killing vampires. Seriously, I don't understand why modern-day vampire hunters don't invest in automatic weapons and WP bullets.

Isn't WP bullets 1) expensive and 2) illegal in most areas?

I prefer staking out in the sun.

Police:why is that man tied up like that?
*whooosh as sunlight hits the vamp*
Me (without taking my eyes off of the officer): man? what man?

First off, I want to apologise for being such a moron. My spamming over the past few weeks was stupid and annoyed a lot of people. It's time for me to get semi-serious. :p

(But not quite. ;) )

So, a scenario for you - a Vampire of the opposite sex approaches you, offering you to join them in eternal life as a creature of the night. Would you say yes? Or would you say no? Perhaps you would even try to kill them?

I open the floor to madness.

Hmm... I don't like the whole idea of having to kill people to sustain my own existance... call me soft hearted but doing it for any other reason than defense just doesn't appeal to me.

I would be happy to remain mortal because of that primary reason. It wouldn't stop me from trying to pick its mind however, unless I had a sense that she was actually just trying to lure me into a sense of security so I could be an easy target...

While the prospect of eternal life, and enticing women with ease is very appealing. I would still worry about that whole eternal damnation thing, and while I do enjoy the night life it is still nice to enjoy a sunrise once in awhile without turning to dust. I also would worry about those crazy village mobs encited by some random farmer who claims I took her daughter for fun and drink that paints me in a totally unfair light.

I suppose that depends on a few things.

1. Are these vampires of the type that choose to hurt, maim, kill, or otherwise torture people, animals, etc for the sake of "fun"? That is, are they cruel?

2. Are these vampires of the type that can never enjoy any sort of human food? That is, not only do they not get sustenance from it, they become ill from it?

3. Are these vampires otherwise in the sense of being "evil" or can I still be the person I am ("good") while being a vampire?

If the answer to any of those three questions is yes, then no. If the answer to all three questions is no, and I am able to still be who I am, but live immortally, then SIGN ME UP! :D

Oh, yeah, and if I have to kill people to feed, or be "eternally damned" or anything like that, then I'll still say no.

yeah i agree, if I have to be beholden to someone else after my death i would rather not .. though it is interesting .....

but i wudnt like not being able to see my reflection .....or feel warmth( in my body ) ..haha

I can make any vampire feel warm...

Is the vampire hot.

what's wrong with making [some] of them good?

They are the servants of Satan? They could be protagonists, sure, even Satan has been a protagonist before; but making them good is just wrong.

While Dracula never explicitly had sex in Stokers novel, it was implied in regards to Lucy.

But I suppose that is up for debate.

I was under the impression that blood-sucking was a metaphor, and perhaps a vampire equivalent to intercourse.

I can make any vampire feel warm...

How, pray tell, can you do that, Mirkana? Give the vampire manishevitz or something? :p

I love Vampirism, plain and simple. :D

I'd definitely say no. I'm fairly certain that living forever would suck. One couldn't help but become jaded and bored with everything after the first couple of hundred years.

As for trying to kill it, I can't help but think that'd be a bad idea.

Scheming bastard.


:tongue:

wouldn't he be a 'Sucky Bastard'?

They are the servants of Satan? They could be protagonists, sure, even Satan has been a protagonist before; but making them good is just wrong.

depends. are they intelligent?

I can imagine one thinking...
"I piss off the humans... they can kill me. but if I 'befriend' them... maybe even 'care' for them... ;)

wouldn't he be a 'Sucky Bastard'?

That too.

might involve alot of deep probing... circling the issues and fiddling around... but if you're willing. we can lick this sucky habit for good.

Just make sure to take enough time to thoroughly study the subject, I also suspect that a lot of field work will be necessary. If you want to understand this specific subject intensely, you must be willing to go deep.

Sure, let us put an end to this sucky issue.:D

She would approach, precieve my true form, try to run, and be devoured
Like the last 62

I'd so join the ranks of the undead.
