What Type of Vampire Are You?
|
Written by LA Judge The question of “type” is one of the greatest misunderstandings among real vampires. The assumption is that vampires can be broken into “types” by the energy they consume. This of course is a completely erroneous. Vampires are all of one “type”. They are humans with living energy needs beyond what their bodies can produce. Hence, they need to gain energy from other living and natural sources. Since all humans can take living energy from these sources, the actual need determines vampirism. What is often confused for “type” is a general energy source or preference. All humans can take energy from multiple sources, it is natural and often they are unaware that that they are taking energy. Vampires though, because they are lacking the natural ability to produce enough living energy, are very aware of energy taking opportunities. They are also very aware of how that energy affects their body and whether it lasts a long or short time. Because of this, they develop an energy preference based on their individual needs. Terms such as Sanguinary, Psi, Elemental, Pranic and more, are general terms describing an energy source. Many vampires have both a primary and secondary energy source(s). The primary energy source is the living energy that best fits their bodily needs and that lasts the longest. The secondary source(s) are just that, energy sources that work, but not quite as well. A person’s primary and secondary energy sources can and do change. Changes occur due to a number of factors. Age, stress, general health, living environment and even seasons can cause an energy source change. Someone using Elemental energy in the summer as a primary energy source may depend upon Sanguinary or Psi as a primary energy sources in the winter. It is best for someone affected with vampirism to be open to multiple energy sources and change their primary energy source to match their individual bodily needs. So the next time someone asks you, “What ‘type’ of vampire are you?” Answer “human” and just keep them guessing. |
