Turning To A Vampire

So, I've finally arrived on the post about turning into a vamp. If you want a full guide, you should hit the bookstore and check out 'How To Be A Vampire' by Amy Gray. It's the best guide book I've seen so far, only a few things about it is fiction. Alright, so here's the changing process.

Wanna become a creature of the night? Well, then you should be on a lookout for a vamp. It's impossible for a change without the blood of a vamp. So, if you've succeeded on finding a vamp, you either cut them and let their blood trickle down into a cup or let them give you a hard, painful kiss on the neck. Make sure you take enough amount of blood, 300 milillitre minumum, or else you're gonna become a half vamp for all eternity.

If you enjoy and prefer the more traditional way of turning, then, choose the Vampire's Kiss. Either way, it's still gonna sting like hell once the vampiric blood hits your heart. The pain will last for only a few minutes, and then you'll notice that you're starting to recover from any injuries you've ever suffered. The next 24 hours is essential and you better steer clear of humans or sunlight as you're in the process of changing. If you come in contact with sunlight, then you'll probably become a half vamp. The Sun sucks out some of the vampiric cells and blood, therefore leaving you as an unfinished vamp.

Why steer clear of humans? Because of their blood. While you're still changing, you're slowly becoming a vamp. You feel what a vamp would feel, your instincts grow sharper than ever, you have the strength of a gorrilla and you're gonna wanna jump up and down full with energy. What I'm saying is that, you're gonna have the CRAVE. Crave for what? BLOOD, duh. And no one's gonna be able to stop you as you're at the most powerful state at that time. One faint scent can send you running and tearing out people's throats. So, it's the best if you're alone during this process.


And that's how you become a FULL vamp and HALF vamp. Since I'm already in this topic, might as well explain the differences that lie between them.

First of, a full vamp. I know that everyone who has interests in them will know this but it won't to explain once more, will it? So, full vamps have superhuman abilities, so does half vamps. The difference is that full vamps has the better quality of it. Actually, full vamps are better in the quality of almost anything, 'cept from able to be under the sun. Example: half vamps can run fast, full vamps can run FASTER. Half vamps can carry a car, full vamps can carry two trucks. Understand?

I'm not saying being a half vamp sucks bad, but being a full vamp just has more advantages compared to a half. One thing best about being a half, you get to enjoy the sunlight FOREVER, unlike a full, which can only roam around the shadows and be scarce of the Sun for all eternity. What good in life is that? Another advantage of being a half is that you'll have a better chance to blend in with humans. Not many, well practically only a few people can actually tell apart a half. Their skin will not be as freezing as one of a full, and no matter how much blood they take, their Iris would always remain only a faint reddish colour.

A half vamp can still age a tiny bit, if that's what bothering you. Their aging are super slow that even after 5 years, you only seem to age a year more or so. But at least they age, so that they're still able to be part of the human society. Half vamps don't need that much blood like fulls. They still need to drink though, maybe twice in four months just to be on the safe side.

By the way, being a half vamp doesn't mean you can bare a child either. Whatever you are, a full, a half or a quater vamp, you're never going to have your own children. NEVER EVER. The vampiric ways doesn't roll like that. It's either you turn people, or they turn you. That's the only way to become one of the vamps. There is never going to be a 'vampire son', no matter what. Plus, it's kind of against the vamp laws to turn a kid with no specific reason.

So, there. If you got any questions or 'rebutals', I'm open for whatever. Just leave a comment or contact me on facebook.

Vampire Appearence

So, this is the second post about vamps. I've decided to use red for vamp talk. Let's talk about the outter appearence of vamps, shall we? Okay, as you know, vamps are obviously paled-skin human-like creatures. Apart from their pale, cold skin and being outrageously perfect-looking, it is almost impossible to tell apart humans and bloodsuckers. In my previous post about vamps, i mentioned that vamps are an anti-sunlight group, that sun ray can cause destruction of a creature of the night, well, it seems like some vamps can walk freely out in the day with not much clothing on and still not burn into ashes in 10 minutes. Am i wrong about my theories? NEVER! The vamps that are having fun in the sun are vamps, all right, but not a full vampire. Yes, there is such a thing as HALF vamp. Those are mainly the victims who were turned by either embracing the blood of a vamp due to accidental cause but not enough to turn them into a full vamp, or they were in contact with Sunlight when still in the changing process as sun rays obsord some of the vampiric 'cells' and blood in one who is still changing. So, it's not exactly ideal for people who wants to become a full vamp. But I'll get to the turning part in some other post. Now, let's just focus about appearence.


Vamps usually wear either red or dark coloured clothings 'cause of the natural fancy for dark coloured items. They're pretty much emo or gothic, but never forget, they look as perfect as an angel. A vamp chick would be the prettiest gal anyone would've seen and a vamp dude often takes gals' breath away no matter what. Some of the vamps who're evil often use their perfection to lure humans into traps and stuffs. So, if an angel comes up to you, it might just be your unlucky day, not the other way around.

Does a vamp has fangs? You bet. But they're not easily seen as a vamp can control whether to let the fangs grow out or sink right back in into their gums to avoid detection. The only time they really let out their fangs are when they're feeding or their instincts are giving them a hunch.

What about their eyes? Are they bloodshot? It depends on how much blood they tend to take when they're feeding. Too much blood cause their Iris to become bloody red. That's why vamps usually purchase a hell lot of contact lenses.

Long, razor sharp fingernails? Yes, some tradional ones whom believe in the old legend about vamps tend to not cut their nails for a century or two. But modern age vamps goes for pedicures, so yea.

Do they shapeshift? This is hard to tell. Lots of stories say that vamps have the ability to change themselves into bats. The truth, not really. It just depends on whose blood that turned one. If one's 'mentor' has the ability to do that, then he should no doubt, has the same thing too. It just travels through bloodline. Mostly, they just change to bats as that's how the legend is, i guess.

So, in conclusion, vamps don't really look much different than humans. Only a few minor differences here and there. It is indeed hard to tell apart both of them. Just flick on your alert mode more often, and you may just get lucky.

VAMPIRES

Since it's Vamps we're talking about here, I'm using red to go with the flow. Anyway, I've noticed that a huge number of fictional books about vamps say that they're the creatures of the night, as they're sensitive towards any strong ray of light, especially, the Sun. That part is the truth, though most of the other parts are fake. Sunlight may not cause immediate death, but when in contact for too long, don't be surprised when you see a pile of ashes by the roadside.

Another truth about vamps are that they do NEED blood. Not want, but seriously need it, like us with food. We might not wanna eat food sometimes, but when you're in hunger, you CRAVE for it. And try living lively for a week without taking it. Same thing goes for the bloodsuckers. No food=death(humans). No blood=another death(Vampires). Get it now?

You're wondering if it really takes a kill to supply a full meal to vamps? Okay, do the math like this. Do we need to get out a butcher knife and run after the dude who took your burger? No, correct? So, vamps NO. All they need are a few sips of fresh, warm blood and they should be good for almost a month. If they want a full meal, they either rob the bloodbank clean, or just get supplies from different bags o' blood. In English, all they need to do is just take a few sips from one person, then go take another sip from someone else, so they won't have to actually kill for a full meal.

Why are there news about people dead and drained empty of blood? Yes, those are indeed a vamp's work, but not a knowledgeable one. There are more likely to be done by really, really desperate and hungry vamps or just 'newborns' who doesn't know crap about the vampiric ways.

Next, do vamps have reflection? YES, of course they do. Though some have the ability to not show oneself in reflections, but they're numbered.

Are they scared witless of garlic? Are humans scared witless of snails? Well, some are, but not all, just like vamps. It depends on whether they're really gutless or they just don't like it. What about still water? Naw, that's just a sleazy myth by idiots who think they're smart-asses about the spirit world. You see people swimming in pools freely at night, and they might just be the bloodsuckers!

By the way, if you have an idea of having a certain someone in your life that you think is a vamp, don't take hasty actions as it NEVER leads to a happy ending. So, maybe your neighbour only comes out at night, lives alone and doesn't sociallize with the neighbourhood, that does NOT mean he's a VAMP. Don't go to the back of your lawn to pick up a tree branch, then stomp down his front door and drive the stake through his chest. Do take note of that.

Want a useful tip for identifying vamp neighbour? Just keep a closer eye on him. If he comes out only at night, then, keep watch what time does he usually gets back home. If it's usually before dawn, just see if he walks or runs into his house. Make an observation about the condition of his house. Are the curtains or blinds open during the day? Or are they tightly closed that not even a single ray of sunlight touches the floor of the house?

You can actually pretty much do any spy work you want, so long as you don't make any contact with him. EVER. You not only danger yourself, but your close ones too. Vamps might be killers here and then, but they're not zombies. They don't go around with their heads stuck in their asses. They're smarter than most of us and their instincts are so much greater than of a leopard. So, don't go messing around, giving them prank calls or knocking at their door in the afternoon and having the thought that they would never find out about it. Don't be an idiot. Vamps may be dangerous, but they still have humanity in them no matter what. They only do what really matters to them. Not all are evil, though everyone of them are as lethal as a shotgun. They can be killers, but only when they need or wanna be.

I hope that you won't be the dummy to test them on that. More infos in the next update. Peace out
