* a human who seeks a relationship with a vampire is a “fangbanger.” Trying to pick up a vampire is called “fangbanging.”
it is impossible for a lycanthrope to contract vampirism (or a vampire to contract lycanthropy). This, and the fact that lycanthrope blood seems to more sustaining than regular human blood, is the reason why vampires prefer lycanthropes as blood donors.
When humans drink Vampire blood, they become more attractive to other humans and vampires and sexually potent. They also gain strength and more control over themselves. They also feel healthier and tend to be able to heal faster. Vampire blood is one of the most sought-after commodities on the black-market because of its potency (even though some humans have gone crazy after drinking it). The effects last depending on the amounts of blood that was ingested. These humans are also called Renfields.
A renfield possesses partial immortality but loses his or her will and is loyal to his or her blood parent: the renfield's feelings and memories are influenced by the blood parent, according to the strength and skill of the blood parent. Renfields often do the work of vampires in the day, when vampires cannot.
If a renfield is completely separated from his or her blood parent, he or she will experience extremely intense pain. Only a vampire of the same blood line, or a vampire which possesses the same blood as the renfield's blood parent by absorbire, will suffice as a substitute.
Pale Skin: Almost all vampires will be extremely pale. They are dead. No blood is circulating in their corpse. If there is no blood circulation, then there isn't any body color. Vampires look like corpses so they will disguise themselves the best that they can.
Supernatural Strength: Real vampires will have supernatural strength that will let them overpower any human without much effort. Their powerful strength gives them a survival advantage. A vampire hunter with a plan to stake a vampire in the heart must remember that in order to accomplish that task they must get close to the vampire. It has to be hard to stake a vampire after it has pulled both of your arms off.
Supernatural Powers: Supernatural powers will vary from vampire to vampire. Not all vampires have the same powers. The powers they do have seem to develop more and become stronger as they age. Some have ability to influence the lesser beings, insects, animals, and some humans. Putting them into a mind control spell, making them a slave to the vampire master. Some vampires can shape-shift into wolves, bats, dogs, mist, fogs and other night creatures. Some vampires are known to have the power of illusion. Some have the powers to make humans submit to their willpower. The smart vampire will keep their powers secret fearing that its destroyers may learn away to counter its spells and send the vampire back to hell.
Supernatural Senses: The basic senses of a vampire are extremely heightened from that of a regular human. They can hear, see, feel, smell, and taste more acutely. Some people say that's why sunlight hurts their eyes and burns at their skin. These advanced senses give the vampire more stalking advantage at night. Vampires are predominantly nocturnal creatures. They can see in the dark when their prey is blind, they can hear the tiniest sounds like the fearful pounding of a human heart, they can track using the smell of body odor or sweet perfumes. They have the uncanny ability to taste and smell fresh blood from a small scratch on their next victim's arm a mile away. Vampires are ruthless and their supernatural senses make them excellant night hunters.
Blood Drinking: Vampires need to consume blood to survive. All vampires will drink blood of some kind. Some vampires may feed on animal blood for periods when they need to keep a low profile, but when they get a change human blood is always their first choice. Traces of fresh or dried blood can be found in the corners of the vampire's mouths or in the area where it sleeps after feeding.
Fangs: The early vampires were described as having hundreds of razor sharp teeth capable of mutilating thick flesh and bones in second. Over the years, the stories of vampires changed to depict them as having only two sharp fangs capable of drawing blood out of its victims. The old vampires were savages that drank blood and ate the flesh of its victims leaving little trace behind sides a mauled, unrecognizable corpse.
Aversion to Sunlight: It's believed that sunlight will destroy vampires. It burns and scares their flesh. If they stay in the light long enough it will burn them completely to ashes. This is not a traditional belief of early cultures. This belief that sunlight kills vampires caught on less than sixty years ago in pop culture and movies and has since become a standard way of destroying a vampire. In traditional times vampires could come out in the sunlight without fear of being harmed by the light itself. However, their powers would be severely weakened in the daytime hours so most vampires probably wouldn't risk being exposed in the day. Smart vampires would stay hidden and sleep until nightfall when they would have all their supernatural powers at their disposal.
Immortality: Vampires do not age the same way that human beings age, but this can't be said for all vampires. Some vampires are said to age at about the same rate as humans while other vampire's age at a very fast rate, literally rotting away in weeks. Most vampires found in today's literature will be immortal because that tends to make for a better story. In any sense vampires are really not immortal because all vampires can be destroyed one way or another.
