The common idea about vampire type is the sanguinary type, the one who needs blood. We are complex entities. Not all of us are of the sanguinary type. I am a psionic/ psychic/sanguinary vampire with astral shape shifting capabilities. Each day I come to understand myself and my complexity better, but am still learning. Most vampires are still learning because we are so complex and because the medical community has yet to come up with answers as to why we are what we are. Especially due to the latter, we are left to find answers within ourselves, as individuals and amongst ourselves as a community.
1. Sanguinary: As already mentioned, a sanguinary types needs blood, both to maintain physical health and mental health. Experiencing strong Thirst is not fun! The less we feed, the worse the Thirst feeling is. It can be like feeling as if I am going to pop out through my skin and tear the door off my apartment! So, I say we need blood for mental health. Living with the Thirst is hard as it is and without a handy donor, far more severe. However, we do need it physically as well. That very fact distinguishes us from fakes.
2. Psionic: needs “spiritual” energy, from chi. Some need it only from humans, while others can feed from various sources such as trees, flowing water, the moon, electrical storms, storms of any type, surroundings (like that which is stirred up at a concert or nightclub, especially when dancing is involved and where sexual tension is present), that energy which rises with sexual activity, emotions, Earth Herself, celestial sources in general. A psionic type has an excellent bridge between the conscious and subconscious minds as well as being better connected with the super-conscious aspects of the mind. Therefore, psionics are usually also psychic.
3. Psychic: one with abilities that seem supernatural in a psychic sense due to better bridge between the conscious, the sub/unconscious and super-conscious aspects of the mind. This may manifest in various ways such as the ability to see and/or communicate with various types of spirits, sense other-worldly energy forms, precognition, telekinesis, telepathy, psychometry, etc.
4. Hybrids: A vampire who is psi//psy/sang or a combination of vampire with astral shapeshifting ability (sometimes called polymorphism).
Origins
Sadly, there is little fact in this world concerning how we acquired our unique condition physically. The medical community has looked at porphyria, Renfield’s Syndrome, and anemia, but there has been little to no medical research material available concerning what makes us different from regular humans (some of us refer to as “humans”, “mortals” or “mundanes”). Due to the very real hunter and slayer problems, in
There was a major virus hoax going around for quite a long time. There is the very real possibility that it is a genetic condition, perhaps even a sort of genetic mutation. If the latter be the case, why? Many vampires have trouble dealing with sunlight, some of us burning to the point of blisters, others just burning easily, ending up with heat and/or sunstroke easily, and photosensitivity of the eyes. Therefore, with global warming being an issue, it may not be a step up in evolution. If it is however a step up in evolution, we are obviously not adapting fast enough.
Truly, our species is at the top of the food chain, feeding from life force (commonly called chi, prana, etc.) from human blood/and or chi alone, in combination with the types of food humans eat. Mundanes clearly are not at the top of the food chain, although the ignorant amongst them mistakenly think they are. Whatever causes the vampire to be born a vampire has to be something to do with DNA, yet some parents of vampires exhibit “symptoms” while others do not.
