Vampire



A Vampire is being that sustains itself usually by feeding on the life essence of other creatures. It is most commonly blood that they feed upon, and it is usually sucked out via the vampires fangs. They are often portrayed as having a rivalry or war going on with Werewolves.

Due to the large increase in their popularity during the last couple of decades, there is now a massive amount of novels, games, tv shows and movies that feature vampires, and this has led to many different species of vampires existing. Thus there many varieties, differing in appearance, abilities and traits.

The are currently several vampire agents in the PPC.

Vampires in Fanfic
Vampires can be found inserted into most fandoms (often for little reason other then the fangirls will) sometimes even being blatantly ripped out of another fandom. When vampires are introduced into a story, it will usually lead to angst. Since the release of Twilight, the chance of vampires (especially angsty ones) in stories has incresed dramatically, as well as the potency of their angst, leading to wangst. They are usually depicted as vicious antagonists, or angsty protagonists.

Vampires in BadFic
Although they are very cool, and usually are better then your average person, possessing supernatural abilites, super powers, enhanced senses,and immortality, a great deal of protagonist vampires are angsty, broody, even when there is no valid reason to be this way. Many follow the example of Twilight and assume most vampires who don't (or won't) prey upon people are inheriently unhappy with their existence.

Making a vampire immune to common ways in which they are killed without an extremely plausable explanation, is a charge. Other common charges include changing their appearance, and giving them powers/abilites not found in their continuum. Taking vampires from one continuum and putting them in another is also a charge, and it is a very bad idea. When going into a fic involving, even basic knowledge of the canon's vampires is highly recomended, as proper preparation is never a bad thing.
