questions anyone?

ok ill start first.

we frequently have digestive trouble. Even those with cast-iron stomachs have many issues with food that are rooted in their constant hunger for energy. Contrary to the image of the vampire as thin, many real vampires are troubled by obesity because of a hunger that makes them food addicts, and a system that is sluggish in processing physical food. They are also sometimes troubled by other substance addictions for the same reasons, but since their systems are tuned to pranic energy more than to processing physical substance, they may not be as sensitive to drugs and alcohol as an ordinary person would be.

Physically, vampires are usually "night people"" on a biochemical level. They have inverted circadian rhythms, with body cycles such as temperature peaks, menstrual onset, and the production of sleep hormones in the brain occurring at the opposite time of day from most people. They have difficulty adjusting to daytime schedules and frequently work nights. They tend to be photosensitive, avoiding sunlight, sunburning easily, and having excellent night vision. Their vitality ranges widely, and they can be vigorous and active one day, depressed and languorous the next.

Emotionally and physically, vampires are unpredictable, moody, temperamental and overwhelming. The major distinguishing characteristic of real vampires as opposed to ordinary people who share those qualities is the vampire's intensity. Vampires are extremely intense people. They are frequently given nicknames such as "the black hole." When others talk about them (usually to complain about them), vampires are often described by such terms as "needy," "attention-seeking," "grandstanding," "manipulative," "exhausting," "draining," "monopolizes the conversation," "jealous," "huge ego," and so on. A vampire's emotions are deep, fervent, and powerful, and she usually displays great psychic ability and has uncontrolled magickal and psychic experiences. Vampires are also empaths, and while they remain unconscious of their natures, they are frequently "psychic sponges" who simply absorb vibrations from everywhere, with the expected emotional instability resulting.

anyone have any questions now?

your trying to explain vampirism with science, science knowns nothing about vampires, and the rare science that does is contained within the vampire Clans for medicle reasons, most vampires are not obese, in fact i have yet to meet one who is obese, obese vampires would be murdered for the fact that they would get in the way of things, Vampires are alot more politicl and are alot more involved in the world than any of you seem to realize, only the stronge survive, thats a statement made as a fact, the ONLY way a weak vampire would survive is if they gather togther in large groups and survive as a group, which in many cases has been the issue which in those cases we have the STS send a team to take them all out, mean seriously, not all vampires are harmed by the sun, in fact most are not, its been so many years since Anubis created the vampires that over time we have "evolved" if you want to call it that, but some clans still are harmed by the sun, most are not but a few are and the only thing the sun does to us mostly is MAYBE hurt our eyes, but that depends on the person, and also, as far as the fact about vampires being extreamly emotionaly intense, this is true only dependoing on which clan the vampire is from, the clan blood has a huge affect on the person after the turning, some clans are naturaly egotisticle, some are naturaly docile unless feeling threatened or unless you purposly piss them off which in these cases are extreamly hard to do since in a general term alot of vampires are hard to pravoke, however, yes, vampires are extreamly agressiv if angered, we are very relentless and as far as im aware only 1 of the clans doesnt enjoy revenge..... and yes, we are given nicknames alot, but usualy its because its a name that we have earned in battle or by our deeds...... it symbolizes our reputation so to speak....

vampire3s do not need to east food nor do they drink booze.. If you could possibly tell me why a DEAD PERSON needs food Ill be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss this. But being dead the body no longer needs any kind of sustenance to live on.It doesn't take much of a stretch to undrstand this. I have been stodying vampires werewolves, ghosts hauntings and the unexplained for a very long time now so convince me you are roght, show me I'm wrong. Thats all I ask prove to me what you proclaim and then I in turn will apologise and eat crow (sheryl crow) seriously I will admit it when I am wrong I do not have a llarge ego, I am just a humble musician trying to get all the factes I can but for them to be plausable I need to see it myself. Surely you can understand this. So prove me wrong and Ill apologise ok alucard927 or jyhochmuth@yahoo.com. :yikes000:

Is it true that vampires do the same to people as President Bush does to the American economy?

Well...I, for one, don't spend people to drop explosives on the middle east...

"Shadow Puppet," I think you misunderstood me... My question was a metaphor meaning, "Do vampires suck it out of things at the same level as Bush sucks money out of the economy?"

your absolutaly right, vampires dont NEED food, but from my experience with Vampires, most CHOOSE to eat normal food, not very much, at average i would say maybe 1 normal meal a day is what most i know have, then they feed regularly at night when everyone they know commonly is asleep, HOWEVER, i too have met some that refuse to eat any normal food because they choose to only feed on blood, which in all honesty ill probably end up doing when my turning is finished... but then again i might have a cookie now and then, lol, iuno, it all depends... lol oh and by the way, if you have any REAL questions, i mean as in serious questions about vampires, ask me or my friend Shinroku, i cant remember his SN on here but ill try and get it asap

oh yeah, and here is my friend Shinroku's Screen name for this site... Dark~Tainted~Blood

Vampires are not dead. They are half way bewteen living and dying. Or that is my understanding anyway - please correct me if I'm wrong.

why is there so many diffrent spellings of vampire?

you absoutely right and if you'd like i will post up the research for this. all you have to do is ask.

me, what about my question?

What type of vampire are people referring to?

i want to know everything..pref about modern vamps and their survival and adadption to modern living..spankwoman@hotmail.com

Ok if you're still taking questions, here's one I've been stuck on for a while (I'm quite stupid/naive/sheltered):

What's the difference between incubi and succubi vampires, how are they each created, and where do they each originate from?

well go ahead and put it this is a forum. anyone can post anything unless the moderator says you can not. if you have more questions you can contact me at hacker_image44@hotmail.com and i will do my best to answer them.

As you say, anyone can post anything. Also, anyone can pop some words into google and find anything, true or not. Why have you set yourself up as the answer person? Since vampires are purely myth, then no one knows the correct answers to anything about them. We can make up anything we want. I could say vampires also like to munch on hay, and somebody, out there in cyberworld, would believe me.

I just don't understand why you are claiming to be able to explain the unexplainable.

Dawn

I have heard so many ways to make a vampire, i think that it is the way Anne Rice tells it in her stories. I was just wandering. This may sound strange and some people may not beleive me, but my one friend Brian and I practice witchcraft and i only see him at night every time he comes over he is always all calm like he didn't have a lot of energy and i have plenty of energy (because i am a night kind of person i am more awake at night than morning) then while we are working on our spells i lose my energy and get really tired and he is all happy and energetic. I was just wanted to know if that meant anything.

How do vampires really like to feed? Most vampires are portrayed in the movies as beings that bite their victims in the neck. In reality, it seems most vampires (those who claim they are vampires anyway), seem to have little interest in necks.

How do vampires like to feed and why?

Thank you.
:fpope:

Can you explain the highgate vampire theory?

want more?

The case of what has become known as the Kirklees Vampire has no real parallels with the Highgate Vampire investigation save for occult symbols being discovered in the vicinity plus the blood-drained carcasses of animals. But any comparison ends at that point.

Enter Robin Hood, or, at least, the legend of the English outlaw ...

The story of Robin Hood being bled to death by his cousin, the prioress of Kirklees, is recorded in a Sloane manuscript. He is said to have died without the sanctity of holy unction and his body was supposedly interred 650 yards from the Kirklees priory gatehouse. Whether he is actually entombed in the Kirklees grave bearing a much later tombstone is a matter open to much speculation. The inscription reads: “Here underneath dis laitl stean Laz Robert earl of Huntingtun … etc.”
Sir Samuel Armytage fell and died when his horse was terrified by something as he rode past the tomb. Prior to this he had, together with Robert Barr, attempted an exhumation of the grave. However, they had dug only a yard deep when they quit. Despite being the worse for drink, something had so disturbed them that they ran off into the night.

Land of Lost Content, the Luddite Revolt (published in 1812) records: “The Armytage family lived over the brow of the hill on a splendid site once occupied by Benedictine (Cistercian) nuns. It was called Kirklees. There was a mystery about it which local people only reluctantly tried to penetrate. The mystery was helped physically by the thick shroud of trees that surrounded the place, and was sustained by local tales of ghosts of prioresses and nuns and of the death of Robin Hood whose grave is so imperturbably marked as lying within Kirklees grounds in spite of any facts which might suggest to the contrary.”

There is a Yorkshire claim that the legendary outlaw Robin Hood is based on a certain Robert of Wakefield whose wife was named Matilda. Hence Robert and Matilda become “Robin and Marion.” There is a problem with this theory owing to the fact that scholars are agreed that written references about the outlaw Robin Hood significantly predate when Robert and Matilda were born. Also, scholars do not believe the “Maid Marion” aspect to have any validity. There is no evidence that she existed. Robin Hood himself could have been any one of innumerable scoundrels and cut-throats of a period covering more than a century, and it might well have been a collective name. But the important point is that references to this person or persons certainly existed before the time when Robert Hode of Wakefield himself came into existence; so it cannot be him.

There is more than one grave claimed by local enthusiasts to be the tomb of Robin Hood in West Yorkshire, but none seem to be anything more than a much later adaptation. The Kirklees grave with its erroneous Victorian inscription is probably not the tomb of Robin Hood. However, the fact that Robert of Wakefield was not Robin Hood does not necessarily rule out any possibility of this being the outlaw's tomb. The two matters are not mutually exclusive. And the tomb itself is only one of a number of graves, mostly unmarked, in that immediate vicinity.

An application was made by the Vampire Research Society at the end of November 1988 to Lady Margarete Armytage, owner of Kirklees Hall Estate in West Yorkshire, to visit the burial site alleged to be that of Robin Hood on unconsecrated ground. A request to hold a nocturnal vigil near the grave in question was also made along with sundry queries. Back in 1988, amid a lot of growing press speculation about sinister presences and vampires, this intitial request was perhaps understandably turned down.

Lady Armytage now permits visits to the afflicted area by appointment. Bishop Manchester has offered to bless the grave(s) in question and, should it be found necessary, exorcise the unquiet presence. Further comment on this matter is not available.

ok so my big Q is how do you know if your a vamp can you not know your a vamp till your older and start changing? or your simply born knowing ?what? what lets you know that is it just cuz they like blood or something? please explain. :huh: srry if this is a dumb Question k.

vamp this, vamp that, blah blah blah....


Everyone has their own opinions but if you were a vampire you would know it. If there is any doubt you aren't one, however there is a chance you could be turned. The problem is it requires a certain ammount of purity to be able to turn someone, and most "vampires" these days don't have that ammount. Your best chance is to walk around at night constantly and hope you get jumped.

vampires have been in myths for thousands of years and in hundreds of cultures. each one showing distinct ways of the vampire, blood thirst being the maine. but if you think about the vampire being real you would have to take in the thoughts about why and how they react to stimulus. the sun burns them, and this is actually a genetic disease that exists to this day. the people have pale skin like most of the vampire stereotypes. but what would change ordinary people to this? what about a virus, one that instead of destroying the cell it actually changed certain parts of the dna and caused mutations in the body. wouldnt that account for such a thing to happen? but then that arises the question of why they drink blood, which i have not found a logical account for. but i am trying for it.

If you are talking about a virus that is in the body of the human as it is created then it may be possible. If you are talking about a human being born and the virus developing, then this can't be. Think about this if the virus was introduced into the body that changed the DNA it would have to change every single cell in the entier (miss-spelled) body. If the virus changed a few cells wich begin to multiply, then this would be as the humans call cancer. As far as I know of modern science that there is no virus recorded or even stated to change DNA. The only thing that has be told to change DNA is damaging a cell and having that reproduce rapidly. This can cause the host of the mutated cells to die. If you believe that is what turning is, the person dieng from the virus/mutated cell mutliplication, then think that. As far as i know, there haven't been reported cases of humans killed by cancer that have become missing from their graves. Now as for the virus being created/introduced to a forming human, the acceptance of the virus is possible. As for the actual creation of another species i have my doubts, but you may not. As for if I am right, I have my doubts, as that vampire is purely unknown, i just try to make sense of what i can. Choose to believe what I say fully, some of the way, or none.

well your an open minded person, not as ignorant as some of the people i see writing in these forums. thats good to know. but i do like to point out something, viruses do change the dna in a cell. thats how they multiply. by making the cell use its own proteins to make clones of that virus. but what if the virus instead of changing what the cell made it changed the cell itself to take and use different substances to live and grow. the virus would be able to spread throughout the whole body by going throught the blood stream. then it would multiply through the marrow in the bones like blood itself and this would explain why when someone is turned they feel an extreme paine. the dna that the virus would change would make the person more animal than human, explaining the enhancements of sight, hearing, strength, and other things. they would feed off the blood to get to the nutrients in it, and they do it by the neck so they get the most potent of it. the blood used to feed the braine. if you have anything against this, please reply. i am open to suggestions:icon12:

Maybe i am not able to say a comment on these thread but.. if i, i'd like to say "this is the nicest thread i ever read here"..

Do vampires also live in Amsterdam? If so where? *laughs*

:))
this question is not for me but... i think one of the best places for a vampire is Netherlands... So Amsterdam.. :)

actualy yes there are some there, im not sure exactly where in amsterdam because im not aware of a clan base their, however actualy the best polace i can think of for both vampires and lycans is london. If you give me some time, if i can figure out where the hell my friend shinroku went, i will ask him if you would like me to.

thank you very much alucard927

I am sure u guys get this alot but how do u become one

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Nay! We have some self respect m'lady!!

I like necks but this is a personal fetish. From what I've observed, many of my ilk have this attraction, But not all.


ONe is born vampiric. I am unaware of successful instances of "turning" or "embracing"

I was born vampiric and took until my late 20's to fully go through my "change". Was always a vampire but took that long to mature.

u can't be born a vampire unless your parents are one

My memory is deeply flawed, shattered.

Trying to remember, to sense.

I am uncertain of my ilk. Truth be told I have not a clue.

However, HLV's do not require parents to be vampiric. And I have known HLV's I consider to be true vampires. I have observed that, though they may not have vampiric parents, there is a genetic predisposition to vampirism.

Greetings. I am a PV and am in a quandry. I am trying to trace my Jewish family lineage but can only go back as far as the great London fire. I know the names, but to no avail. I have tried a search on ancient egyptian vampires, but again no such luck.

I am trying to find out who fathered my lineage. It is only important for myself.

Also, my mother is a succubus. Do you have any info on them? It would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, thank you
Yours faithfully
MoonDusk

do vampires hate werewolves? in the movies they always are having some kind of war and i was wondering if this was true or just another bit of hollywood magic.

Hi!

I would really appreciate if you took my survey.
It's posted in a thread on this topic: "serious questions for vampires".


Most of my questions are there....

hi there I have a question. Do you think the archetype the vampire is pop culture. Based on movies and books, and the way it changes.

I can try to answer that: Western society is full of archetypes, from media and pop culture to traditional "canonical" works. The ideal man or ideal woman, for example, are popular archetypes found in advertising and many movies. There are also archetypes like "the old (wo)man," usually wise and world weary, someone a "hero" looks ro for advise and direction. There is also the "arch-villian" stereotype, an easily recognizable man (or woman) who is the antagonist to the protagonist.

A "vampire" archetype would be a combination of the arch-villian and old (wo)man figure. A dangerous nemesis character, while still wise and world-weary and able to give direction and insight in life.

As with many archetypes, the vampire has specific qualities that make it a vampire archetype: agelessness, white skin, fangs, drinking of blood are basic qualities necessary for a reader/onlooker/viewer to distinguish the role.

So, in answer to your question: Yes and no. There is the vampire archetype, but it is constant. There are variations on the basic model, but essentially it remains the same throughout time.

i was wondering can vampire have sex? for dracula i do not know, for the anne rice chronicles i know they do not have sex. but to those real vampires out there can you tell me if you can have sex and really enjoy it better or less than mortals?

this thread is coming along nicely

aye and no comment ;).

Are some vampires really undead?

How can you become an elder.
