vampire mythos

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

i was trying to think about something that ALL vampire mythos have in common.

*they have fangs (nope, Kindred vamps don't)
*they can't be in the sun (nope, Dracula and Mick can be)
*they sleep during the day (nope, a lot of vamps are awake during the day - most are just not out in the sun)
*they hate garlic (nope, my vamps love garlic on things, 'specially spaghetti)
*they abhor crosses (depends what the wielder believes in)
*they can't eat real food (nope, there are some vamps that can, they just don't get any sustinance from it)

*they drink blood. this was it, the one thing that i thought of that crosses all mythos.

what do you guys all think?

Damn, it's been forever since I looked up her name. ::Giggles::

Parasites is a good way to put it. ::nodnod::

That's what I got from what I'd read, that Lacroix had beheaded her, the devious little poisoner that she is...::gris::

a few people used the term parasite at my LJ. it works.

I should re-watch all of it too. Just for fun. I'm kind of stuck watching moonlight right now, because I can watch it at work.

My vampire has reffered to himself as a parasite when he gets all emo and whiny.
