Poll: If you were given the choice to become a vampire...

[Hollock]

I think I could find human blood without having to kill people. So, maybe... it's a big descision I can't decide this quickly.

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Nope. Vampire hunter all the way.

 

[Blind Sight]

Meh, it's a change of pace, I'll go for it. I could probably keep myself well-fed by pretending to be an 'Edward' and seducing Twilight fangirls. Then I'd eat them when they expect me to show them my sparkly chest.

 

[elbrandino]

I'd do it if I could be like Alucard from Hellsing. That would be awesome. But from what you've listed, I don't think I would.

 

[PinkiePyro]

no
i love garlic and the sun too much


on becoming werewolf if i got to become the kind that is still aware of who they are and are not just beasts then yes

or a fairy but not the stupid tinkerbell type I am talking the old school having drunken wild partys and cursing people for looking at you funny old school kind

 

[shwnbob]

Hell yes! No soul and drinking blood at night. Plus I'll be immortal which is always good.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

No, I do not want to be among the undead. I would be a werewolf though, that would be awesome.

 

[mParadox]

If that means becoming Alucard personified then sign me up!

 

[Blitzwarp]

You mean that I get to live forever, be nocturnal, and eat the people who piss me off?

How could I say no to that?

This post + your avatar = a quiet chuckle.

As for me, I'd say no. I like food, eating blood forever would be dull.

 

[RollForInitiative]

To be able to continue to chart and track the future of my industry for hundreds of years to come is admittedly a very interesting concept.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I leaning toward no since the sun is a big weakness. I rather be like Blade so that I can enjoy both worlds although I would still need to consume blood.

 

[Dragonclaw]

Absolutely...and as much as I LOVE garlic I've got the way around that...you have a freind invite you into their home and have them serve you food with garlic....ala The Lost Boys

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

holy shit yes.

i said yes without a doubt.

the strength, dexterity, near immortality of it?

but then..after being a vampire i realized...


my most favorite food in the entire world...

valentinoes breadsticks..(they use alot of garlic)

 

[the rye]

Live without garlic? Hell no, thats a fate worse then death.

 

[rokkolpo]

Yes, eternal life is just fantastic since you don't age (or not fast) and you can call it quits anytime anyway.(suicide)

The sun I will miss, but I can get over that. I'll just get myself a huge fake sun because well why not, I live forever anyway.

And I won't need to kill humans or any other creatures, I'll just have a pig farm from which I harvest blood.

I'll probably get someone else into the craziness aswell to fight boredom and not be alone all the time.

NIGHTLIFE. HERE. I. COME!

 

[TheEnglishman]

If someone could prove to me that they could make me a Bram Stoker-esque vampire, here is my thought process:

"Vampires exist, that means the Devil exists, that means a God exists, that means Heaven exists following a somewhat Christian like philosophy, that means if I live a good life, I get to go to heaven and eternal paradise where as a vampire I'm stuck here to get a stake to the heart."

No, I'd much rather have several decades of moderate discomfort living a good life than eternal paradise.

Depends on the type of vampire, there are a lot of different versions, even if you count out twilight. Hardcore, old-style Dracula vampire: Must feed on human blood. Sunlight is death, silver burns, garlic burns, can't cross running water, holy water burns, ect.(no)
Then you've got "Vampire Huntress" vampires. Whole other society, with different power levels, 2nd gen and worse are a lot like Dracula vampires, except they can feed on animal blood if they want to, it's just not as tasty, and they're souls are doomed to hell. Master vampires are much more powerful, and they can still drink animal blood if they want.(Tempting)
Then you've got council level, where it gets real interesting. Sunlight will kill you, but it will take several seconds, holy water could kill you, but only if you were submerged in a swimming pool of it, Running water is tough, but you can cross probably a quarter mile or more, you don't like the taste of garlic, but it doesn't harm you. You can't enter a house uninvited, but you can compel most people inside to walk out, only those with strong minds who are also chanting prayers in the native language(Latin, Hebrew, ect.) can resist. Also, if they do resist, you can knock the house down with your various powers, and then enter the rubble. Also, you can still drink animal blood if you don't fancy killing humans. Every one of your senses is enhances dozens, if not hundreds of times, and you're also a telepath.(Very Tempting, other than the whole, damned soul thing. course that only matters if your killed)

Probably not, i like my soul not being damned.
Werewolves is another story. As long as it's not the original werewolf, count me in. Especially if it's the werewolf from either underworld or the Mercy Thompson series.

 

[spartan231490]

First, vampires are not immortal, they just won't die of old age. They can die or even kill themselves if they get overly tired of life.

So the fear of immortality is really not a reason to say no.

If being a vampire made you automatically evil and selfish then I would say no. If you kept control of yourself but just had strong cravings for blood....I would probably say yes, and then train myself to be a vampire hunter (If I was a vampire there would be others out there preying on people).

In fact, I would probably search out other mortals who I could trust with a similar belief and make them vampires as well, so we would have a posse of vampire, vampire hunters. We would roam the earth killing vampires everywhere we found them until there were no more vampires and then together we would see one last sunrise, our reward for a job well done.

Why not? There are no real cons to this arrangement. I don't go outside, can't afford silver and I don't tend to trespass very often (question: Does this include all land owned, or just the physical domicile? I don't really mind either way, but it would be nice to know if I'm allowed to leap from rooftop to rooftop or not.)

I don't need daylight hours, and hate garlic anyway. I could use the various associated superpowers, though. So, yes, I would. In a heart ----.

Even with the damned soul thing? That's pretty universal to Vampire lore.
