From what I know, vampires are simply beings that thrive off power stolen from other beings. But doesn't everyone do that? Bullies are a prime example. They "get a rise" out of causing harm to others and the excitement they steal from those they hurt is very obvious. At least subtly, if you play close attention, you'll notice that everyone does (mostly to people one disrespect's) this at least subconsciously. Beings with advanced mental vampiric ability have developed this to the point where it's subtle enough that it's unnoticeable audibly and visually. There are also those who have the talent of sucking power from peoples' blood. Quite a talent. Seems a very easy way to get energy into their life. While normal people get energy from living a fulfilling life, vampires steal energy from others. Now let's say someone was into this vampiric shit for a long long time with no regrets about it. It's a helluva lot easier to get energy this way than via living richly, so might that person not completely let go of his fulfillment because it's not worth it for him? People claim to be awakened by their vampiric souls. Who's to say this "vampiric soul" that speaks to you is not just some deceiving single spirit that tells lies and guides its followers with gifts of power? To me it actually seems more plausible than 2000 vampiric human spirits. I mean, weren't the awakened human until they decided otherwise? Who's to say a true "soulless" vampire exists? To me, vampirism is an ability and "true vampires" are people who have simply given up on normal life, or given in completely to their desire for power.

What do you guys think?

I so think that is wrong...not to hurt ya hun but I mean come on...this is Buffy shit.There isn't a soulless vampire because every thing,whither an animal,human,vampire,lycans,they all have "souls" it's part of nature...that's my opinion so please don't base this on anything.

I'm going to have to agree with this girly right here. they all have "souls". thay are all born with one. no since you said they were human until they awakened. ur wrong first off. they are never human, they just don't know, so they ignore everything abnormal about themselves, so i hope that cleared some things up for ya.

though i do not consider myself a vampire( still learning about it all ) i am vamiric in nature . i do take energy from others , but i also live a fullfilling interesting life, i have definiatly not given up on normal life at all, the vapiric side of me is just another facet of my rich and full life.

in my opinion i think vampires need to be vampires because of an imbalance in there personal energy, to a vampire the only thing that corrects this imballance is blood or vampiric aura ( energy, chi, life force what ever you want to call it ).

agian this is just my opinion and theory on vampirism so please do not take this as the absolute truth (

I agree with you to a point on this, but i will let this one rest. lol. i have nothing to argue with it, just a different point of view, as you said...just an opinion. but i applaud what you say, it makes a lot of sense.

thankyou very much
as i am stil learning what it is to be a vampire and vampiric it is nice to have people with more knowledge let me know i am on the right path

First question I have to ask here is whether we're talking about mythological vampires or real vampires.

If you are talking about RLV then they are human, that have vampiric qualities and are considered vampiric because of the lifestyle that they led. They are at no time considered more than human because there is no proof of a change from human to something else; there is no mutation only a lust and desire for blood and a lifestyle that supports it.

If we are talking about mythological vampires then they are not human; most vampires (mythological romanticized) are shown as being turned and all of that; in that case they change from human to vampire or in the case of birth; they go through an awakening which would be similar to the human process of going from infant to toddler and so on.

Being a vampire is a lifestyle; being vampiric is having one trait in that lifestyle . . . .it does depend on the person however.
