B&A -- It's open season on vampires...?

Well. I'm going to stick to the two (in my book) musts:

1. Have to drink blood, preferrably human.

2. Cannot go out in sunlight.

General Information:

My vampires can drink animal blood, but only if they're desperate. In fact, it causes them considerable discomfort to drink animal blood because they were not once an animal, they were once human. They need the human blood to survive, because it is still essential to their survival. Direct sunlight burns them. They don't explode, but they smolder, very, very fast. They can venture into shade and things like that, but anything direct is definitely going to hurt.

The general public are not aware that vampires exist. There are a select few, but they are likely to get killed by a vampire if they try to expose their secret. The last thing a vampire wants is for the humans to know about them - that could lead to extinction. In the past, humans and vampires have lived side by side, but it caused the death of almost 90% of the vampire population, and they therefore keep it under wraps now.

Appearance:

I reject the modernised view that vampires are beautiful. Mine are monstrous. Not in the Frankenstein's creature sense, but it'd be pretty clear to us humans that they aren't normal. Their skin would be near translucent, so much so that you could see the purple veins running underneath. Their faces would be gaunt and bony, and their eyes would be an unsettling violet hue. They've got fangs all right ( not like Stephenie Meyer's prissy "vampires" ) which are hollow inside so they can funnel the blood into their bloodstream. Yes, that's right. These fangs are connected to two arteries that pump the blood into the vampire's bloodstream ( I figure if a vampire can grow fangs during transformation, they can grow additional arteries and veins as well ). I've never understood the whole "blood goes into stomach" thing, because then it'd need to be digested.

When my vampire has freshly quenched their thirst, they look almost human. Their papery skin has a decidely pink tint, and their violet eyes fade into a subdued blue. They will also appear more plump in the face.

Lifespan:

My vampires are not immortal, but they do live considerably longer than humans, because their heart does not beat as fast. In fact, their heart only beats when it has fresh blood to pump around the body. So in other words, the less a vampire feeds, the longer it lives. They can live up to five-hundred years in some cases, but there are rumours that some have lived longer.

Transformation:

My vampires do not have venom. Vampirism is almost like a virus; when a human drinks their blood, the virus is then transferred into their body and starts altering the genetic makeup of their cells. So in order to be transformed into a vampire, the vampire must feed off the human, and then the human must feed off the vampire.

Transformation can take months. In this time, the human cannot do much else other than sleep and eat. Their symptoms, too, come off like a virus, and so the true cause of their illness isn't always detected early on. Of course, no one is turned into a vampire on mistake, so most times the transitioning human is kept under careful observation.

Natural Reproduction:

The thing most modern vampire novelists seem to overlook is that men need a bloodflow to get an erection. So my vampires *can* have sex, but only after they have fed. They do have the urge to reproduce, but it's very rare that a human will actually let them (especially because once they do, they'll contract the vampire "virus")

Because the soon-to-be mother is too transitioning into a vampire, the resulting child will be more vampire than human. It can go into sunlight, but only for a short time. It has fangs, but they are often not as pronounced as the full vampire fangs, because they have been built into the gum itself (rather than having to grow over existing teeth). They need to drink blood, of course, but they can get away with eating real food if the need arrises. If a full vampire eats real food, they would most certainly need to purge it again unless they wanted to endure excruiciating pain.

The halflings do not live as long, because they have a constant bloodflow. The heartbeat itself is much slower than that of a human's, so they do live longer, but they very rarely outlive full-vampires. Because of this bloodflow, they can reproduce with ease, and often engage in intercourse recreationally. They do not directly have the virus, but it is part of their DNA, so therefore any child they have will be a quarter vampire.

Abilities:

My vampires do not have "super" strength, but it is more than the average human. This of course is necessary, because the predator must always be stronger than its prey. They are fluidly fast, but not so much that they can not be seen while running.

Well, my vampires would drink blood, any kind of blood they can get, because, well... blood is blood, right?

They can be killed by a wooden stake, a knife, a gun, a noodle... anything a normal person can kill them with. They're just crazy people that drink blood instead of people food. Like cannibal/carnivores.

They can't go in the sunlight though because they're all allergic to it. They're also allergic to water. Not holy water, just water. And their hair is never light, with highlights or streaks. It's always dark and one-colored because they choose not to go out in the sun because it gives them a rash. ( :P )

They don't turn into bats or animals. That's weird. They also don't live in coffins or houses, they're nomads. But they can turn invisible. Not exactly invisible, but if they stay still for too long they just begin to blend in.

They're not lightning fast or strong or anything, but their jaw strength is equivalent to that of an alligator. They also smell really good, like freshly cut flowers. It's the smell of death, but I guess death smells good. That's why they usually hide by flowers bushes.

I almost forgot to add that they have no temperature, so they can't be sensed by heat vision, or felt as hot or cold. And they can survive in extreme heat or the cold.

Lol I like this question ^-^

I can't believed you asked this, and I can't believe I'm answering

My vampires would drink blood, but they can only drink the blood of mythical creatures. Drinking human or animal blood just makes them more thirsty. They can't go out into much sunlight, if its liter than dusk, then the vampires turn into ashes, but it doesn't destroy. They are re-incarnated a month afterwords into their same body, but the death and reincarnation are both very painful. The only way to kill them is by a taste of their own medicine. Either they have to be bitten anywhere by a vampire, or anything with sharp teeth or fangs have to bite them on the right side of the neck, right where one can feel a pulse. Yup, my vamps are weird

First and foremost: THEY HAVE TO SPARKLE LIKE, ALWAYS!!!?!

Because, what is a non-sparkly vampire?

Then, they would speak their own language, emit high-pitched noises, have golden fangs [Very Li'l Wayne!], they would also have backward feet and their hair always smells as if it's been burned recently. They can go out in the sun, but then they stop sparkling and who wants that to happen?! :O

They prefer blood but their system can be fooled by any red coloured drink [like a strawberry martini or red wine] and they only eat garlic if it's cooked well...no one wants garlic breath, right?

Haha, sorry! I just couldn't take this seriously!

Ooh! Cool, I would love to give vampires a better name!

First of all, they look NORMAL. Not creepy, not gorgeous, normal. They don't kill people when they drink blood, it just makes them pass out and forget anything happened. The garlic and sunlight? Invented by vampires so no one would suspect them. And they can be seen in mirrors, but their eyes turn pitch black and some people see flames. No big deal. They can only die from a stake in the heart, they can turn into bats, and they DO eat food.

damn i actually have to think...

cupcake vampire. vampire who will go to any length to get their cupcakes. they would only drink blood if they were about to die. they would only like humans but not another vampire. vampires would constantly be fighting just because they don't like each other. they'd keep in secret, and try to become famous and take over the world- ALL AT THE SAME TIME. so they'd always be fighting other cupcake vampires for world domination.

Well, I wouldn't want to create a whole new vampire. I'd take old ideas and put twists on it....say, for example, the full moon is fatal to vampires, or they can't walk on grass....something like that.

And I'll tell you right now, I'm not going to take hallucinogenic drugs when I'm writing a vampire novel and make them sparkling vegetarians.

Creative? Do you really want to hear my ideas?

My female vampire is a slightly odd cheerleader who wears WAY too much pink makeup, covers it in black blush, and has silver-flecked, black eyes. She drinks cherry-flavoured blood with a straw - it must be an INDIGO straw, mind, pure INDIGO! - and likes to eat hamburgers. She loves parasols, but only if they're black, and only if they have 13 pin-sized holes in them, because it's fun for her to dodge the specks of sunlight. In fact, it's a game - in the vampire community, once a year, there's actually the Parasol Games, where a huge black parasol is set up. It's moved around mechanically, and the vamps underneath it run away from the bits of sunlight. Fun, eh? Vampires look beautiful, but their reflections... well, yes, they DO have reflections... their reflections are actually pictures of their secret crush. NOT a good idea to stand in front of a mirror, then, if her crush isn't the same person as the guy she's with. She's a natural flirt, and can paralyze her victims - ALWAYS males - just by a few sweetened words. To destroy this vampiress? Sad, sad, sad; why would you want to?... But anyways, you would need a precise mixture of three drops of holy water, three drops of your own blood, and three drops of ocean salt. Put it in her food or make her swallow it, it doesn't matter, but it will destroy her. Her corpse is a shrivelled shell of her living self.

My male vampire is a muscular, tall, handsome guy. Dur? Or maybe not... He doesn't have a reflection if you look at him in a mirror, but his reflection in water is him when he was still living, not the living dead. He kills his victims, unlike his female counterpart, and has no use for cherry-flavoured sweetener; he drinks his blood directly from the source. His voice, though, is odd - extremely high, so he has a microphone implanted in his mouth which changes his voice's pitch to that of a living male's. These vampires have no charm at all, even if they do have looks; they're abrupt, clumsy, and absolute klutzes. But somehow, they attract girls all the time, all the same, for God-knows-why reasons. While a vampiress only has an extremely long life, a vampire is immortal until destroyed. The recipe for destroying a vampire is different from a vampiress. You need a silver-coated gold stake with 13 bats made of 13 rubies each embedded in a design on it. Too expensive? Too bad, mon ami. That's the only way to destroy my male vampire.

Hey there,

Most often premature ejaculation occurs in younger men, but it can affect men of all ages. There could be a number of different reasons for the problems, both physical and psychological. The good news is that there are certain solutions available that have proven effective, such as the Ejaculation Trainer (see site here http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=565), which can show a man how to develop permanent ejaculation control. By successfully addressing a man’s ejaculation concerns and teaching him how to control it, he will quickly become more confident and both he and his partner will be much more satisfied.

Cheers.

My vampires would have three eyes.

I don't expect Best Answer.
