What is your opinion of what a vampire is? are they daywalkers or nightstalkers? Bloodsuckers or something else? Killers or suducers? I would like to hear your ideas

The opposite of Twilight. Vampires are killers, night wanderers, do not take pity and see humans only as food. I consider Twilight to be a slap in the face to any serious author of vampire novels. Plus, Stephanie Meyers writing is terrible. I couldn't even read more than half of the first page because it was so awful. I don't see what the big deal is about the whole thing. "Killers or seducers"? Either, way vampires can be seductive even when their not trying to be. I found Marlow (Danny Huston) very seductive just being himself. ;D

Ah Thanks for starting this discussion shadee (don't know if you want me using your real name on here...) great topic.
Julie, I don't think that Stephanie's horrible, but she definatley abused the tradition of vampires, making them these...these...sparkling...frolicing...not-vampires...haha. I didn't like how she changed them, I hated it. But the storyline was good, if you enjoy love stories it was a good addition to that.
I think that the best kind of vampire would have to be the 30 Days of Night style by far. I loved them, after reading the books and seeing the movie my expectations for vampire media sky rocketed. haha.
I think that vampires can be seductive only if they want. But it's not like a curse or anything.
Killers? -Definatley!

A vampire to me is an infected human with an hard to control lust for blood. They are immortal, have super strength, Hightened senses, and do not die from sunlight (but dont glitter either) Most of their victims die because their body cant fight off the infection. As for being immortal they can only die if they are torn to shreds in like a meat grinder or wood chipper, But they will also have a high durability to pain and can heal much faster than any human can with treatment (but need blood to heal) The disease causes a change in voice, eyes, and certain features such as muscle compositon that makes them both a perfect predator and/or seducer. There is only a few that exist. as for sunlight they do not die from it but rather their senses have been hightened causeing bright light or UV to bring great pain to their eyes. Cannot transform unless its from killer look to casual look, and they do have fangs that retract just like in 30 days of night. There is more but that is enough for now. [glow=red,2,300]Give more opinions[/glow] And yes they are technically dead if they can take a few shotgun blast to the chest and survive.

Interesting viewpoint shadee. There are so many different versions people can have. It's fun to discuss.
What about claws?
I love the idea of claws.. I think that it might have a sort of chemical change in the body, makes the fingernails and hair grow faster...making a illusion of claws. I mean, if they heal at increased rates wouldn't it only make sense for thier hair and nails to grow faster too?
And at my Birthday party me and you talked about if vampires digest...haha. I want to hear some theories on that. Anyone?

Yes claws would be a possibility because the so called vampire disease would increase the growth of all cells at a controls rate making its cancer like state harmless. The vampire bat has a special metabolism that can extract and metabolize blood of their victims. But i would have to say being able to live off blood my be more possible than the special cell growth. Just thoughts, not reality

What about Psi Vampires? What do people think of them? I think they are just people who are sadists with a new fancy gothic name.

Psi vampires i do not think they are any type of real vampire. They are said to be taking the life force from their victims without taking the blood. Its like processed milk, there is 100% milk strait from the cow where you can get every nutrient it has to offer, and then there is skim milk which has been filtered and processed by then most of the nutrition is gone (dont ask me whats left). so in a way psi vamps are like wannabe vampires on a diet, and no thats not a joke. SO i think they should take on another name because they are just not vampires unless they consume blood. why cant i keep my answers short?

Because they're all complex answers. XD
I agree with that. I think the way they say they get a rise from others fears and emotions, that is just normal for any human.

Shadee, you have some very interesting and insightful ideas on vampires. Would like to hear more of your thoughts. Has anyone ever met a 'real' vampire before?

Unless you count Shadee's vampireness making him a conciderable 'vampire' , nope.
