One thing that's been bothering me lately is a small argument I've had with myself. What is the vampire? The reason I've been arguing is that there has recently been a lot of medias about vampires and all are depicted differently. So I wondered if the audience of "The Escapist" could help me find the general opinion of vampires.
The rules are simple:
1. Name your definition of a vampire and the reason for your choice
2. Don't post negative replies about a fellow members choice, it is thier opinion and not yours

My reason is that:
1. He has the right amount of pride and insanity to pull of incredible dialouge and personality.
2. When he drinks the blood of a human and kills it he can summon them forth as his minions, as blood is the currency of life.
3. He is a commander of blood, and if there is blood outside of a human in the vicinity he does not need to it, but rather it flows to him at his command.
4. He is immortal and can regenerate from any wound. No use with sunlight, a cross, stake or guns. He can regenerate even if his body totaly whiped out.
