Okay this is NOT a vamp story this is facts about vampires.
So you can ask me questions in the comments and I well probably answer them.
category #1 : weaknesses
Vamps aren't affected at all by "holy" water, garlic, crosses, or that stuff. Duh, a stake through the heart to anything will kill them. Silver is with werewolves and vamps can be killed just by being beat the hell out of to death. They're not immortal, immortality is where you can't die no matter what and never age. Vamps never age but they can die. No blood equals death for them, like starving someone of food and water.
I'm talking on 'real' vamps though. There are three kinds you have to know though: sanguarians, psychic/energy, and 'real' (no technical name for them). Sanguarians are humans that take energy from the blood (animal or human) they drink as a health thing. Psychic/energy are humans that take energy from other living things (plant or animal) as a health thing. 'Real' vamps never age, need blood to survive, and have enhanced abilities.
Yeah, another few facts (just for the hell of it), 'real' vamps don't turn incredibly beautiful when they're turned. There's no change of eye (red or gold or whatever) color and they do have fangs. They're not ice cold to the skin either. They're natural body temperature is below the norm of humans, but not where it's noticeable unless you go on regular check-ups at the hospital.
category #2: powers
I read a lot of books and most of them are like Vamps having strength or speed. psychic powers, mind control and ability to read minds stronger then average hearing smell and vision
category #3: how to tell if someones a vampire
-No fangs. not all vamps have fangs
-Any color eyes, only with a dark-colored ring around the outside of the eye, as well as a golden ring around the pupil. - Many will describe this as a "lion's mane."
-Rather pale.
-Photosensitive.
-Nails --fingernails/toenails-- grow more quickly.
-Hair grows more quickly.
-Typically vampires have moderate to dark brown hair. I have never met one with black or blonde.
-May be preppy, emo, jock, goth, country, rocker, etc. Any stereotype.
-Glassy fingernails, but very hard to break or chip.
-Some have sharper canines, some do not.
-Sleeping in coffins is only if they are...eccentric.
-Elegant walk about them.
-Heightened reaction speeds.
-Heightened Psi abilities.
-Quiet footsteps.
-Often appear deep in thought, and/or solemn.
-May be anti-social or extremely social. Depends on the personality.
-Enjoy the night.
-Tend to be very nocturnal.
-Some enjoy human company whilst other see humans merely as food.
-Only about a third belong to Covens.
-All of the ones I know are very knowledgeable about history in general. They are not necessarily "history buffs" by any means, but still.
-Seem to know everything about other peoples' emotions, yet nobody ever knows much about them even though the people "think" that they do.
-May be happy one day, but drained the next day.
-They are not undead.
-They often keep Donors rather than attacking random people. Vampires do not like STD's either, you know.
-Vampires eat human food, although tend to revolve more around fruits & vegetables.
-They drink blood, although a cup every 2-3 days is enough.
-Vampires must pay the bills, work --oftentimes day-shifts--, live in a house --unless they like caves....which is rather strange...--, and everything else.
-Vampires do not instantly become sexy or beautiful after their Awakening; however, for some unapparent reason, they do appear to quite attractive to humans -- even when they do not appear so to other vampires.
-Eyes are hypnotizing when the vampire wants them to be.
-Increased hearing.
-Increased sight.
-Better night-vision.
-Increased smell.
-They can smell blood.
-They can smell blood from a person even when it's not been spilled.
-Vampires are not immortal. Bullets, stakes, fire, water, wind, lightning, and a punch to the nose the right way will all kill them. They will all kill you too, though.
-Vampires can be of any religion. Catholic, Satanic, Pagan, Wiccan, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, as well as any other ones out there.
-They always seem to know when somebody is and/or is just about to look at them.
