Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some say vampires are fake, some say they aren't. I personally think they are there but not in the way most people would think. But alas I only know a little about vampiric beliefs systems.

1.Be sure you have a willing donor
2.Promote order and live peacefully in socety
3. Don't go around sucking from people unawares.

I think i've missed some stuff. but I want to clear things up beliefs system wise as the guild gets started up, as soon as there are sub forums I will divide everything up, that will be a hugeeeeeee help, then christians can talk to christians and other kin can talk about other kin and so on and so on. ACCEPTING DONATIONS!!!!!!! Hehehe, well, back on topic. Have any of you guys ever met up with a vampire? I know a few from this site, I know someone who claimed to be a vampire but was easy to tell him being a faker in real life, but other than that that's it for me.

I have never met an HLV before. I hate when people only think of vampires as they see them on TV and in movies. Fairy stories people hear as children greatly influence their type of belief in these types of things. As well as how their parents raised them... but that's a whole other topic.

Well, there are some HLVs who do drink blood. It's a feeding preference of theirs as blood is so rich in pranic energy, which is the type of energy that ll HLVs are deficient of. Sanguinarians/Sanguivores(both terms mean the same thing; a blood feeder) can learn, however, how to take in energy through psionic means. It's just harder for them, and psionic feeding doesn't quite fulfil their hunger as much as, say, drinking about a tablespoon or less of blood(which is the approximate amount that a sang would consume during a feed) would. I've only met the psionic variety in person, although I've conversed with sanguinarians online. Psi-vamps are, based off my experience with them(that's not to say that there ISN'T an extroverted HLV somewhere..I just haven't met any yet if there are), generally more introverted people. Though, they can do extroverted things to acquire the energies they need. Like performing onstage or something. There are also some HLVs who aren't even aware that they psifeed. It's because they're subconsious Psi-feeders.

Now, there are people who take the pop culture concept of Vampires and take it WAY too far. This would be like this one cult I read about in Wisconsin somewhere that used to hold people at knife point and feed from them against their will. I've no idea if those people were HLVs, and they probably werent, but they were a bunch of crazies. Apparently whenever headlights were shone on them, they'd hiss and run off. Then you have the lifestylers, the posers, and the Live Action RPers who don't know when to stop the act.

It's the small group of crazies who earn the bad publicity that ruin it for anyone who decides to identify with the word "vampire". Though, I often wonder why the community decided to call themselves Vampires. From the HLVs that I've conversed with, they often agree that it seems like it was a bad idea in retrospect. My guess is it's because of the Pop Culture interpretation of the word "vampire" that the community has so much trouble dealing with posers and psychos and such. And the hunters who've watched too many Buffy episodes.(*sigh* Yes, they do exist, I'm sad to say..There are also Otherkin Hunters..)

That's very interesting..

Could I possibly have your permission for me to include that information in my article/thread thing..when I get back to working on it again? I'd give you full credit for that information and such.

another thing. this doesnt belong in the otherkin section. we are not otherkin.

it would be a good idea yes, but i'm sorry to say, this guitarhero fellow keeps making threads on topics he knows little to null about, and filling them with misinformation, which is very frustrating.

indeed.

this forum is rather dead....
