I am wondering is there a certin age before you can turn into a vampire? :o
Katchoo
According to lore, you can become a Vampire at anytime. How you go about doing this, or if you can have it done, is one of the bigger (amusing?) debates on this board.

But just imagine being 12 forever. For lack of a better word, it would suck.
tHeDaUgHtEr&tHeLoVeR
I would prefer 16, 18, or 20 to become a vampire...maybe 24 lolz...ehh...I like them young...*Smiles*

Birth; then the question is, when does one awake? Unless you believe in inheritors.

I've yet to see a 14-year old who can pass for 21...they might think they can, but that's a whole other matter...
Katchoo
Ditto. I also love the "I'm mature for my age," when, often, they are not.

I asked a few to see what age they would consider making someone if they could , most said that they wouldnt do it below the age of 19 , not even if it was medical.

Without hypnosis, threat of harm, drugs, or brainwashing, how does one MAKE someone be a vampire, Dead?

You've previously argued pro-lifestyle, pro-born, and pro-making. Which is it? And since we're not talking supernatural vampire here (Or so I assume, since you are using the same arguement in this thread as you do in the REAL REAL NOT FAKE NOT SUPERNATURAL BUT REAL VAMPIRE threads), given that there is no supernatural entity forcing them to be a vampire, how can it be both that "They can be made" and "they are what they are... it is not a lifestyle, it is their inner core, it is not something they can change"?

A little consistancy, please?

Why 19? and how could it be medical?

IIRC you claim to be 19...or at least you *look* 19, which is odd because I certainly couldn't narrow down how old a person looks to a specific year...
soul blighter
???????????
Why bother
i dont think there is a vampire stupid enough to make a little kid a vampire. it would give vampires a bad name if there were little vamps all over the place. think about this... they would probably have to climb up to someone to bite there neck or they would have to do it while the victim is sleeping. thats just plain stupid
Upir Lichy
Well you do get 12 year old vampires cus you're born vampire not made. Little Vamps? lol.... we are able to restrain ourselves around you obviously delicious and desirable humans you know....fucking hell you humans flatter yourselves dontcha?

You think everytime a fat person see's MacDonalds they have to go eat one?
;)
Dark_Allure
I like it when people say things like "you humans". :lol:

I don't believe in Vampires, and i'm not sure it is a healthy belief for people of any age...but allowances should be made for children.

okay, "You meat popsicles"

better?

They say 19 at least because then people have finished their school , they are more mature and know what they want , they are also physically mature and devoloped...

The question was < Is there a certain age before you can become a vampire?>
The answer is this ; Yes ,you must be a certain age before you become a vampire. You must be old enough to possess a soul. Simple as that might sound , A fool or a cruel and vile person can go through out life with out one. And if such a person is bitten they just become food and drink for a vampire. And not too tasty a morsel I might add. Most good people develope a soul at an early age. Many lose theirs at a later time in life . As long as you have yours , you can become a vampire if bitten. . I know what you are saying what about children and old people? Children ,when bitten may still enjoy the happiness of youth . No vampire can ever take that away. And as far as old people are concerned, have you ever heard of the fountain of youth? Vampires contain it in their fangs.

Meatros
bloodfangs13-What's this about losing a soul, or not having one until a certain age? This seems sort of contradictory to most religions conception of the idea of a soul. Also what's this about a 'fountain of youth'?
Dark_Allure
Meat popsicles would apply to Vampires too...seeing as you aren't a new species. ;)

Dark_Allure
Never heard of a Banchi before, i must admit. People are no longer satisfied with just being a Witch or a Vampire? :lol:
StarrTV
No, you can get blooded at any age by another Vampire BUT, if another Vampire bloods someone under 18 and you get blooded other Vampires will hunt you down.

I've never heard of Banchies either. I've heard of banshies, but I don't think that's what you are talking about. A banshee (or a woman of the hills) is a ghost/spirit that comes to a person's home and wails loudly. The wailing banshee is supposed to be a sign that someone in that house/place is going to die soon. They are related to the Bean Nighe.

As far as a cross between a witch and a vampire the closest I could come was: Guaxa. Also the belief in witches and vampires would have to (in my mind) predate the belief in 'Banchies', primarily because if they didn't have an idea of what a vampire or witch was, how would they know that a Banchie was a combination of the two? Why would the two be separated in later mythologies?

I would only transform one into a vamp at a certain age, not too young or too old. It would be terriable to be a feeble old man forever or a ten year old forever.
Setsetuya
I like the term Meat Popsicle! Someone change my title to Meat Popsicle!

Ahem..now then, a lot of people have come in here giving out answers they feel are absolutaly right. Well I'm not gonna believe any of them without proof. So, since I'm so sick of typing, I'll just make it short; back up your damn words so that everyone can believe. I mean people like BloodFang. Where did you come up with all that?

You know, that's why I'm glad that classical vampires are pretty much a biological improbability. It would be such a pity for a 5000 year old not to be able to get a beer whenever they wanted to.

i think that if the victim was a little boy of 12 or so his blood wouldnt be adapted to being able to be change. he wouldnt have hit puberty yet and so his body wouldnt be powerful enough to hold the vampire blood and he would die from blood loss
Dark_Allure
I really don't get how you can have a Banchi, which is supposedly a combination of a Vampire and a Witch, before either existed. Not without the term being widely known, surely? <_<

There is no certain age to my knowledge

A Banchie is verry simmilar to A BANSHIE there are verry fiew of us and I sadly must addmit you verry rarely hear of us and I have never met another. This is for lost soles and people with an empty life and those who performe rtualls bt crave blood. We can create the same screach as they can and have verry sensitive sences espicially in hearing other Banchies and Banshies eather in warning or call.
I lived like that all my life but when I found out that there were A fiew others like me I then discoverd that there was A name for my kind but I STILL think of my self as A vampire!
Dark_Allure
A Banshee is a spirit which attaches itself to a certain family. When a member of the family is about to die, they hear the wail. Similar to the black dogs or wolves that howl before the member of a certain family dies. I am not sure how these spirits can be linked with a living Witch/Vampire? <_<

As I said in one of my previous posts a Banshee is a dead spirit. They are not to be confused with either vampires or witches.

You lived like a Banshee? So you went to people's houses and screamed in an effort to predict there death?

If you've never met any others...how did you know what you supposedly were? Did you search it up on the internet or something? Any books that contain information on...banchies, was it? I've looked through several occult/mythological dictionaries here, no references apart from the banshees, of which you've already been informed by Meatros.

I'd be very interested in hearing your sources, since apparently, according to your post, you've researched upon this all by yourself. How did you discover this until now mystery race?

Also, I'll say this again, attack the issue, not the person. I don't want to see any more posts towards Dark Allure demeaning or harassing him/her in any way, or I'd be forced to start editing. Behave.

That's true, not everyone likes beer. While I may feel it's a shame that a 5k+ vampire could not purchase alcohol not everyone shares that opinion. Then again I wasn't trying to present that as a fact.

Gotta love 13 year old logic... full of holes but if they keep repeating it, someone might believe it.

A quick search of the internet reveals that the only Banchie of note is a black advocate who maintains that the bible was written by Africans and stolen by the Catholic church. Isn't the preposterousness so fitting?

I'll go with the extremely witty comment that has already been made... is it that you are not content with just being a vampire; felt the need to be more important, to me too them more than they did? Christ, lately it seems that everyone wants to be a new kind of vampire so that they out-cool everyone else.
