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

[stabnex]

I know we all love vampires. We idolize them. We admire them for their soulful character (no pun intended). We fall in love with them and write thousands of novels based on them.

If you could choose to be a kind of vampire, which would it be?

1) The Anne Rice Vampire
Slightly effeminate, but you get to keep your soul, stay beautiful and immortal barring sunlight and decapitation.

2) The Bram Stoker Vampire
Supernatural powers including but not limited to shapeshifting, turning into mist, immortality, and having a weird shadow that spies on people for you. Sure there's that whole "war with god" thing but it usually ends up alright.

3) The Joss Whedon Vampire
You lose your soul but remain generally you, garlic doesn't affect you, but you've always got Slayers on your ass. Plus you get the whole badass demonic visage when the feed is upon you.

4) The Lost Boy Vampire
You can fly like a birdy, tear shit apart, and recruit hot college students all damn night. And if you do manage to get killed, odds are you'll die so horrifically you're bound to take out your killer in an extremely violent manner.

Me I'd be the Anne Rice Vampire because I'd have the chance to hook up with Aaliyah.

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

 

[Actual]

Out of your options I'd choose Anne Rice. Get to keep soul and the only price I have to pay is be bisexual, I can deal. Plus Aaliyah. Good call there.

Ideally I'd be a True Blood (Charlaine Harris) vampire. Much like the Anne Rice variety except not necessarily bisexual and I don't have to mope around being emo all day.

Love the Buffyverse, but loss of soul, becoming raving killer is a deal-breaker.

EDIT, I NEED to watch Lost Boys again, thanks.

Where are the Vampire the Maquerade types?

[Always_Remain]

I'd choose to be a shambling corpse . . . But vampire-wise Bram Stoker all the way.

 

[Nex-Falx]

I would not choose to be one.
HUMANS RULE!

You could make good money hunting the night-stalking undead... GET ME MY LONG BOW!

2) The Bram Stoker Vampire
Supernatural powers including but not limited to shapeshifting, turning into mist, immortality, and having a weird shadow that spies on people for you. Sure there's that whole "war with god" thing but it usually ends up alright.

The shapeshifting, and turning into mist I remember, where did the other stuff come in? But besides that I would love to be like Dracula in Bram Stoker's book, he seemed to have very little weakness and could do a billion other things, including controlling or becoming a wolf/wolves.

Where are the Vampire the Maquerade types?

They're more like the classic Anne Rice vamps. I equated them to Underworld bloodsuckers who I view as borrowing heavily from The Vampire Chronicles.

 

[Zeromaeus]

I'd be...
uh...
Well if it weren't this whole restraining order thing going with Satan right now I'd say Bram Stoker.
uh...
Werdragon (Its hella hard convincing one to bite you).

 

[WhamBamSam]

I would not choose to be one.
HUMANS RULE!

This. What good would turning into some unholy mosquito of the night do me? FUCK. THAT. SHIT.

 

[A random person]

It's only a matter of time before NeutralDrow comes in and says Tsukihime vampires. I'd tend to agree with him, Shinso are utterly kickass.

 

[Plurralbles]

Id' be the vampires from Oblvion. I just got owned by one and going around a catacomb and killing grave/treasure robbers would be a fun time.

As fro the thread itself, I guess i'd have to go with the Bram one.

 

[Pyode]

I'd go Whedon, and then either have a gypsy "curse" me with a soul or do that trial thing that Spike does to get his soul back.

Where are the Vampire the Maquerade types?

I was about to ask exactly this. I want to be a tremere or brujah dammit (maybe one of the clanless, MAYBE). maybe a tzimiche but those werent playable waaaay back when I used to play.

I fucking loved that part of the series.

SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME!

 

[havass]

What about the Vampire Diaries kind of vampire? I want to do that flitting stuff that they can do!

OT: probably the Bram type.

 

[RanD00M]

The Lost Boy type.

Alright, then.
*goes to internet*

Spoiler: Not a Type-MOON example, but she's still a Shinso, and she can do this.

To make it more impressive with context, she just killed a demon god like it was nothing. The reason she doesn't do that all the time is because her power's usually sealed, and rather extensively at that.

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.
