I know that a lot of people here aren't human and people like that fascinate me. Back home we have vampires, various lycanthropes, and things like that ( Read more... )

I can only tell you about vampires in my world but I'll answer your questions.

Alright. I'm Richard Zeeman, by the way.

How is vampirism in your world spread?

Lestat de Lioncourt.

A vampire chooses one he or she desires to share the gift with. Then they drain that person until they are almost dead. At that point, they give them their own blood.

Do religious symbols or sunlight harm them in your world?

No and yes. However, more powerful vampires can survive sunlight.

Alright, so there's nothing magical or spiritual about them, it's completely a biological thing.

What about being kept away by garlic?

False. Our sense of smell is better than the average human but we are not repelled by garlic.

I can understand if you don't want to answer this next question but I'll ask on the off chance that you can. Does it require unusual means to kill you? Such as the traditional lore of stake to the heart, decapitation, fire, etc?

Yes and no. A stake to the heart would be painful but it wouldn't kill us. We can recover from that. Fire is our usual method of suicide so that can kill us though more powerful vampires could probably manage to survive it. And decapitation would probably work. Assuming you could catch us. After all, it's usually impossible to kill us as we sleep since we lash out and kill those who try.

I see, so it's about completely destroying the state of the tissue then?

Yes. Otherwise we are able to come back if we are given blood.

Would you mind if I took a sample of your blood?

Not at all. You'll have to be quick about it though. I heal rather rapidly.

I'm sure I can be quick.
