Vampires are immortal
Mostly true. While they can be destroyed, they can live forever. Vampires drink blood
True. Vampires exist on the blood of the living. They take no sustenance from mortal food. They drink via retractable fangs, which they develop immediately upon becoming undead. After feeding, they can lick the wounds and close them, leaving no evidence of the vampire’s theft. A vampire’s victim becomes a vampire
False. Some vampires kill dozens or even hundreds of humans across their years. Vampires choose to create new vampires by draining a mortal of all their blood, then feeding them from their own veins. Vampires are demons
False. Vampires are possessed of a dark passenger deep within, a Beast, which compels them to monstrous fight or flight responses. But vampires are essentially people in a horrific situation. Vampires die in the sun
True. While some can hold off the sun’s rays for a few moments, sunlight will quickly reduce a vampire to ash. Vampires shy from holy symbols and running water
False. While some rare specimens cannot stand classic banes such as garlic and crosses, most have no issue. However, some of particularly true faith can repel vampires with the strength of their convictions. Vampires die from a stake through the heart
False. However, wooden stakes that penetrate the heart will paralyze the undead, leaving them vulnerable. Vampires have unholy strength and power
True and false. With time and with lineage, vampires gain certain supernatural abilities, from frightening strength, to the ability to make an unwitting victim fall into a false love, or to transform into a wild beast. Vampires have sex
Unabashedly true. Vampiric existence is one of taboo and dark celebration. To many, sex fit those descriptions well. If anything, to vampires, sex is only diminished somewhat by the constant overstimulation of feeding. To a vampire, the moment of feeding is the single most ecstatic, euphoric experience of their immortal existences. Indeed, some attribute a holy origin to the rapture of blood drinking.
