I've heard so many occult things about them from so many different views, that I really must say that I'm more than confused.

Are you aware of the existence of the search button?

What Daemon was trying to convey was that you should try reading about the forums and/or use the search feature to make sure that you aren't asking a question that hasn't already been answered.

Vampire; consumes energy in the form of blood (may also consume raw energy) in order to sustain him/herself because they are lacking in their own energy.

But as you will see when you read around the forum; everyone has their own definition of what a vampire is.

Apparently now, according to some people in this forum, is just someone who likes the taste of blood. It's a plus point if you have pointy teeth, wear black, your feet hurt if you walk past a church (!?) and you dislike the sun. Yeah, vampires rock!
