Poll: If you could choose to be a vampire..

[Xvito]

I'd be a Twilight Vampire. They don't have any of the weaknesses normal vampires do and all the advantages. Plus they get to bone hot chicks.

I'd be one of those badass anime-vampires (see Hellsing, Melty Blood etc. etc.). Then I'd come to your house and beat you to death with your own legs... Then I'd go and bone some hot chicks.

Do you see where you went wrong? Those damn sparkly-vampires ain't got shit on the badassery that is Alucard.

Edit: That might have come off as kind of rude. Didn't mean to sound like asshole... I just don't like Twilight... And you don't joke about stuff like that...

I don't like it either. I just know that Alucard couldn't come and be badassed at me while I was sitting on the beach getting my sparkly tan on.

Alucard could probably care less if were burned by the sun or not... He's just too cool...

From that list, Lost Boys vampire. Life's one big party, living on the edge, jumping motorcycles off cliffs and stuff, and don't forget the delightfully cheesy 80's hair. Oh yes!

The castlevania vampires, traditional and badass. Just how I like it. Also, they get to wear nice clothes. Shame about the lack of hat, but DAYUM check out those coats.

The coats win, oh hell they do. I'd pick those over the Lost Boys outfits any day.

Other:Zombies.

Seriously, I quite enjoyed the Anne Rice vampires - Interview with a Vampire & lestat were books I enjoyed, but this vampire fandom goes to far when the Horror section of boreders is filled with hundreds of twilight mimicks. They dont even had the Zombie Survival Guide in stock anymore (fortunately for me, I already possess it, but what about those unfortunate souls who dont and need to defend themselves from the undead hordes??)! If I'm unable to obtain zombie literature, I am not happy!!

But more relevant to this thread, if I were to become a member of the living dead, I would choose to be a zombie. None of this melodramatic 'oh woe is me I've fallen in love with a human but she is mortal and I lust for the taste of her blood' nor 'aaah shit this sunlight burns!' or 'ye gods, a stake through mine heart!' Zombies, plain and simple, are hungry, and they eat. And if popular fiction and Max Brooks have taught me anything, unless people read aforementioned survival guides, most people either dont know how to kill zombies effectively or don't possess the skill to dispatch a shambling member of the undead effectively. And even if someone DID manage to kill me, I wouldnt be aware of it, so its win win


Braaaaaiiins....

 

[Ishamel]

Clearly I have been missing out on a lot of cool shit... Why do people hide cool shit in anime, where it is covered over and disguised by blinky little schoolgirls and tentacles? Damn you subcultures!

Clearly stoker is the way to go if you restrict it to Literature. As for having a life - you can't die, people! You could go kill the guy with the most badass house in the entire world, imprison and gradually eat all of his family and housekeeping staff, or turn them into your blood-slaves, invest all of his insane wealth in the stock market and live off the interest for a million years. Plus you'd be carbon-neutral what with never having to put the heating on

 

[ottenni]

Bram Stoker is the original and the best, but who could be a vampire when they could be like Blade?

 

[BENZOOKA]

I would be the kind of vampire that Monty Python would have created. Something completely different.

 

[PyroZombie]

Your forgetting the Bela Lugosi edition, the true blue fucking vampire.

Umm ... no he didn't. Just tick the box that says Bram Stoker. Heh and I like you choice. Incidently for some movie trivia, did you know that when Lugosi died he was buried in his original Dracula costume from his famous movie. Pretty kickass no?

No I didn't.

Really, I hate the idea of becoming a vampire, but that's the only correct choice, because they've warped the idea of the vampire so ungraciously, that they've forgotten that they are creatures of horror. Horror.

 

[stabnex]

Great, thanks . And I specifically stated I'd be a Twilight vampire without the sparkling. If I sparkled I'd hand you the axe and the matches and firewood myself. But like it or not, Twilight vampires are the strongest I've seen in fiction for a very long time...

I understand what you're saying, and believe me when I say I wouldn't hesitate to butcher your ass on the spot if you didn't burst into flames in direct sunlight. But Twilight vampires still don't qualify because their movies aren't terrifying in any way and are more concerned with braiding each-others hair and giggling than they are with taking over the world and enslaving mankind as a marketable food source.

Which brings me to another point: Daybreaker Vampires are wicked badass Bram Stoker style vamps to the core. No gypsy powers sure, but they're more than content to be what they are and that's evil, violent, seductive s.o.b's and I wouldn't have them any other way

Good man! And I'm well and truly with you on both accounts. I mean seriously who wants to be cursed with undeath? And as for horror. I tried for ten whole minutes trying to convince my apprentice that vampires are predators and monsters. 'But they're perfect beings and they glitter and stuff' was her reply. Sheeeeesh

 

[DemonicVixen]

Well since i cant pick a Twilight vampire then i will have to go for my second favourite vampires:

Sleep all day.
Party all night
Never grow old.
Never die.
The Lost Boys

But certainly not the Lost Boys 2 vampires, they are just plain awful. I'd rather be like Michael or Star (though you dont see what she looks like) or Laddie on Lost Boys 1.

 

[Trivun]

Don't hate me for this...

[HEADING=1]I DEMAND TO HAVE TWILIGHT AS A POLL OPTION!!!!![/HEADING]

And I have very good reason for doing so, as Twilight vampires are the strongest I've seen for a long time. The thing is, Twilight vampires only have a single weakness. To kill them, you have to physically rip them apart, and then burn the pieces. They only die when burned after being ripped apart, nothing else will kill them. And they have all the traditional vampire strengths too. Plus they can have rampant sex for ages, always a good thing . The only thing I hate about them is the sparkling thing, that is the only downside. But if I didn't sparkle, I'd choose to be a Twilight vampire, because there are so many benefits.

However, I do seriously demand an 'Other' option on the poll. There are countless types of vampire in fiction, not just those four, you know, OP...

EDIT: Actually, I wouldn't mind being an Anita Blake style vampire either. Specifically, one of the ones that literally feeds off sex. That's the type of vampire I'd love to be ;D.

Oh dear... A twilight fan boy/girl. Twilight doesn't count becuase they are not proper blood sucking, red eyed, evil and awsome. IMO they just suck generaly.

If i get to suck blood, be immortal and have super human strength im in. The whole sun light thing isn't a problem, i don't go much any way XD.

1. I'm not a Twilight fanboy.

2. I'm not counting the Cullens in this myself, apart from Alice (but that's only because Ashley Greene is hot). I mean every Twilight vampire apart from the Cullens. For example, the Volturi. They're still red-eyed human killing bloodsucking evil vampires, who just happen to rule the whole vampire world and also happen to have half of them completely psychotic. Trust me, watch any clip of the Volturi scenes in New Moon (if you don't want to see the film, then just see those bits on Youtube or something). Focus mainly on Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen's characters to see what I mean...

 

[kidigus]

Which is the one that shares every atribute with a human, and isn't a vampire?

Its not that I don't like vampires,
but I myself would not like to be one.

 

[GruntOwner]

I'll jump on the Twilight Bandwagon. A Ventrue or Daeva from NWoD would be fun, mainly because they're able to feed without killing someone, plus people actually ENJOY it when a WoD vamp drinks their blood. Anne Rice would be my third choice, but I'm not big on the whole murder part of the deal.

@Trivun, seeing as he seems to have knowledge of the series and doesn't mind admitting it, what kinda powers could you get as a Twilight? I'm assuming that enhanced physical attributes and sensing are for everyone, but how about those unique powers? Is the aura of majesty a Cullen thing or does everyone get that PLUS their hunting prowess/clairvoyence?

 

[Gunner 51]

Good job that the Stephanie Meyer ones weren't included on that list.

Personally, I'd be one of Stoker's.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Bram Stoker. The original package with all the sweet powers.
Also the same as Alucard in Hellsing, inspired by that one.

 

[Dapper Ninja]

AND NO. I DID NOT "FORGET" TWILIGHT VAMPIRES WHO DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE HORROR GENRE.

I saw Twilight in the horror section of a Blockbuster once. I burst out in laughter.

Anyway, I choose Stoker vampire. Dracula has so many powers and so few things that can kill him, even by vampire standards, that he's pretty much invincible.

Your forgetting the Bela Lugosi edition, the true blue fucking vampire.

Also, Dracula apparently existed in 1931 before he existed in 1897, so Stoker's vampires are also Time Lords, it would seem. Another reason why Stoker's vampires kick ass.

The castlevania vampires, traditional and badass. Just how I like it. Also, they get to wear nice clothes. Shame about the lack of hat, but DAYUM check out those coats.

Actually, I changed my mind. Yeah, nigh invincibility, shape-shifting, mind control, and time travel are awesome, but... just... look at those coats! Those are nice coats! Hell, I'll accept just being some guy if I can have those coats. Seriously, look at them.
