I wanna get agood answer cos i've been reading vampire's stuff for a while and some say that vampires are turned by other vampires; some say that they born like a human, i mean, in a human family and they become vampires from nothing; some else say that they're not dead, they're like a human but with a incredable need for blood instead of some that say they ARE dead and they JUST drink blood; lots say that they dont bear the sunlight but some they bear.

it's totally confusing, i dont know who is right and who is not...

then, if you can explain me that feel free to reply!
THANK YOU!

Well I can't tell you what's "right" and what's "wrong", but I think turning would be the way to become a vampire. You're "sire" (the vamp that turns you) drinks your blood, you drink his, and it sort of infects you like a virus. From the bond that's made between you two, you inherit the characteristic of the vampire, your metabolism changes, you physical limitations, weaknesses, thoughts, everything in you changes until you become like your sire.

I don't think you fully die though. Maybe you reach a state where you look like your dead, but the change inside you keeps you going.

I'd say it depends on what book you're reading, or what movie you're watching, or even what legend you like the best.

Guitar, vampires in the magical mythical "I have other than human abilities" do not exist. They are the product of fiction, and as such DO NOT EXIST.

If you're asking how vampires in the fictional sense are created, ask the author. Each book, each story, and each legend are different. Since they are fiction, they are all correct.

If you're asking about the magical mythical other than human ability vampires in a realistic sense, STFU you stupid noob.

thier are so many different ways in fiction, and myths to become a vampire "and different types of vampirish creatures" that it would take a while to list them all, but read around I have many methods listed in appropriate sections as do others.

I've heard a lot of ways for turning these days. Here, and at other places you can read more about peoples' opinions. They have them all the time. Believe me. Whether vampires are real, once real, or never existed at all, you need to think about this in someone elses perspective because some ways of being changed into a vampire can seem pretty grusome so they make up nicer ways. Yeah, that's my opinion.

I just wanna know what makes more sense... anyway so now i know that each author creates its own kind of vampires.

then i'm feeling free to create mine...

Creativity is always good.

As you can imagine, 'turning' has come up for discussion many times. Try this thread for more info:

http://forum.vampires.com/index.php?showto...2917&hl=turning

Being turned is the vampire's method of making vampires.Yes some are born into it.

You seem pretty sure of yourself Creature. I think it is funny how we are supposed to enter forums with open minds and open to others ideas. If you are not, then the least is expected that you respect others for their beliefs.

I actually believe that anything is possible, so I partially believe in the Embrace theory and being born a vampire, as well as becoming a vampire for no reason at a time near puberty...darn spelling. Like I have said before, I have no proof, so I believe what makes the most sense to me, so I sorta lean towards the Embrace theory.

Creature is on leave at the moment, so no point replying to his posts, really.

Theories are good...we like theories. It's when people start selling them as fact that there are problems. Oh yeah, I told you already...sorry! Please continue with this thread and ignore me lalalalalalalafluffybunnies :offtopic:

people get turned into vamps, but when embracing the new found life, they are discovering the world through new eyes. so i think it is also a rebirth as well as a turning

As people have said it depends what you are reading or watching to how vampires act, but after reading quite few books you'll realize that some will say the same things which means you can select which way you prefer. :cofpap: Plus not having the the right and wrong ways makes it more interesting to see each authors interpretation of vampires.

After seeing this conversation about 12 times, I would like to say that the general picture that I'm now picking up, after even rereading what I wrote before is that we obviously have quite a few vampires here since they know what they are talking about. Anyway. What I'm saying is that, why don't you ask one of them to come and demonstrate?
I'm sorry. I won't do this again. -_-

I believe there are ways you could be born into a vampire and there are ways you could turn. You never actually know till it happens.

My question is: Are born Vampires considered better then made Vampires or the other way around?

I don't think classical vampires exist - but if they did, I would lean towards the biting / turning thing. It just makes the legend that much more interesting. And sexy.

Well there are 'covenants' of Vampires who are families I guess. I think they are capable of love.
They are a creation who live for blood.

The best way is to get a cat to jump over your coffin, but seen as you'd be dead you would need someone else to get it to do that.... And the mythological vampires were stupid zombie things that could only attack while the victim was crippled. mmmmm, sooo sexy for a corpse to bite your neck. Sorry I'm in a bad mood...

I prefer the blood exchange/ Embrace idea. It makes sense to me. It's almost like an infection that kills off the parts of your body it doesn't need and leaves the parts it does. Certainly this is the more intimate and erotic idea, as the idea of just turning on your own is a very lonely concept.

Either could be true - they're both very intriguing concepts.

:vampire:

In my opinion... you are a vampire from birth. You don't become, you just are. You may not realize it at first, but later the traits may become more and more outstanding and noticable. I think a true vampire wouldn't be confused about how they came about being such, they just sort of know. Its something that is carved into the brain, a trait that awakens the mind and body, creating a thirst for life and blood.

their "love" is based upon a shadow of their former lives. a demon cannot actually feel deep emotions other than fear.

oh yeah? explain your theories to the great horror writers of our time.

Or to the great horror writers of the future. Culture changes, you know.

Why do you say this? Please tell me what you base this on as I am curious.
