Hello to all who are interested in the world of the vampyr. I have heard a lot about vampires in movies and in books and on forums like this one yet none have come close to portraying the truth. I am here to share all i know.
To begin with, first forget everything that you know of vampyrs. It is most likely not true. Vlad the Impaler was not a vampyr, he was not the "father", vampyrs have no adversion to the sun, to holy relics, they cannot shapechange unless they have teachings with another philosophy (i.e. druidism), they do not all drink blood, they are not violent nor cruel, they are not solitary creatures for the most part, they have no "disease", they are not immortal, they are mortal just like anyone else, they have no war with the werewolves nor any other group, except the slayers, and they are NOT the undead.
There are five types of vampyrs. They are the normal, cannibal, daemonic, psi, and ancient. Some are born a vampyr. You probably wouldnt know this until you are 15 because around that age a long dead king, the first of the ancients, will whisper to you in your dreams. I suppose to some extent that the vampyr bloodlines are in the veins of anyone of mostly european descent, but rarely in any great proportion to make anyone born a vampyr. As far as fangs go, yes, if you are born one your teeth will be mostly straight except your upper canines will be pushed foreward and will grow in front of your other teeth. If you are not born one, then you can be made into a half-vampyr. There are many ways to do this. I will share of two that i know for certain work. First of all there is no way to be certain of breeding a vampyr, because the ancients, the only ones with an all vampyr bloodline, are dead. There is no more of them anywhere. Everyone else today comes from their bloodlines as the seep down through the years. Every so often someone gets the right mix and thats about it. To make a half requires a psychic vampyr. On any night where there is a full moon a psychic vampyr could take you to a completely isolated place and make you a vampyr by deep telepathy. Theyd be giving you a part of themselves. If it is a stronger psi vampyr they could make you into any type they wanted, if they are weaker they can only transform you into a normal vampyr. You will not be thralled to them in any way, only you will keep a deep sence of connection to the person, the same way some twins say they can tell how their other sibling is feeling over long distances. The second way is more known, if a vampyr drinks of you, then you drink of her, then you mix both of your blood together and you both drink of the mixed blood you will be made into a normal vampyr. Any vampyr can do this but wont go around offering the service because some stronger vampyrs could possibly get very upset, not to say that there is any vampyr hierarchy its just that the role players make a sort of shield for anyone looking for real vampyrs.
As to the effect of becomming a vampyr, first off your life is immediately threatened so anyone who really is a vampyr generally will not go around broadcasting this to the world. There truely are what you'd call Slayers. They are not like buffy. As far as I know they are just about equally in proportion to vampyrs. They are just like any other person except that around 13 to 16 they will have dreams about killing someone that they know (like a classmate or anyone really) and they eventually may do it for reasons I do not know. Also they are usually highly religious (i.e.christian) but thats not to say that vampyrs are anti religious. Some are atheists, some are hardcore Roman Catholics, its their choice. But realize that from the moment you are made a vampyr there is someone out there looking for you.
I think Ive said enough for today, maybe I will say some more later. Maybe not.

...not to sound disrespectful just that i'm longing for information but where do you come by this information?...

When discussions of vampyrs spring up amongst people who have not come into direct contact with them it invariably leads to misinformation because of what is seen in hollywood and because of people's own fantasies about life and desires to become something more than there is. Today I was in a book store and I came across a guide for slayers to kill vampyrs. It detailed how garlic, crucifixes, holy water and wooden stakes should be used as potent weapons against these evil night creatures. Personally this hurts me. I do find it disrespectful. These things cannot harm me anymore than you or anyone else. Of course you are all here because you wish to find the truth beneath these mountains of deception. Almost all myths have their roots in truth, and in the vampyr myth there is plenty of truth to find by any who are open minded. I cannot tell you how many vampyrs there are. My information is all based on personal experience. If anyone has any information to contradict me, let them speak. For me the vampyr life is a lonly one only because it is a burden to be carried in secret. The truth is the false vampyr myths provide an outlet for true vampyrs who wish to indulge in their own passions. My motivation is to provide enlightenment and find some small dose of company. If you wish to learn what I know of the vampyrs, then listen to what I have to say, soon you will learn more about me, what being a vampyr means to me, and what I have to come to understand about life. If not I will go elsewhere.

good morning Snow.

I find what you write to be interesting and comprehensive. Have you read WIlliam Bradley's posts? I think you may find them of interest as you say you are looking for some companionship. I speak to William via email quiet frequentlyand some interesting if lively debates.. you would be more than welcome to email me should u wish to.. my email address is on my profile.

This is so painfully wrong

Then what is right?

do you have a answer for the question why does world exist?
vampires have no answers to that question, nor they have a reason to live. But they won't die until the end of the world. And there is no way of acceptig it.
vampiresa have no interest in making other vampires, and the reasons pushing them to take this decision are most of times is taken in moments of irrationality and extreme anger..
and there are not so many vampires in the world as people may think.

religion looses his purposes and his essence, with immortality

'Why' is a human construct anyway. I'm surprised none of our resident vampires have picked up on that.

Snow I find some of what you had stated before incorrect although it does hold truth.. I know of no ancient one whispering into a persons mind..Nor of some other things you have stated..Frankly it seems as though yuo had twisted rp with truth..Or were misinformed.

According to you, Darklight... :)

Each person holds his own truth, and this section isn't for proving, or disproving, it's for sharing stories, without being judged or criticized.

all legens hold truth and lies the facts are all out ther but you must find the way fore you and you alone.

a vampire IS human before being vampire
