| In this article, I am trying to list as many as possible of the characteristics common between vampires. You should know that there are NOT two identical vampires, every individual is different regarding his/her physical, mental and psychic characteristics and abilities. A vampire doesn't necessarily have all these traits or abilities, specially the psychic ones, and possessing few or even all of these characteristics does't mean someone is a vampire because they mights be caused by any other reason. As mentioned in the "what is a vampire?" article, the main character distinguishing vampires from other people is their NEED to feed on life force energies whatever its form might be. In my opinion in order to know if one of these traits is caused by one's vampirism or not, first check and exclude any other reasons that might be causing it like any medical conditions, then find out if it is attached to that need for feeding or not. |
| Blood and/or energy cravings Sensitivity to sunlight, eyes sensitive to light generally Very enhanced night vision Heightened senses (excellent hearing and smell) Increased body strength or stamina (in relation to size and exercising) Require less sleeping hours Very goog immune system and quicker healing rate (when well fed) Frequent feeling of hunger or thirst and weakness, despite getting enough food and fluids Frequent headaches and/or migraines with no medical explanation Flu like symptoms with no medical explanation |
| Above avarage intelligence and increased mental ability Nocturnal nature Heightened instincts and quicker reflexes Mood swings and sharper temper Predatory nature Dark nature |
| Empathy Extra sensory perception (ESP) Ability to sense and recognize other vampires (Beacon or vamp dar) Precognition and visions Mind reading Astral projection Audiovoyance, clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience |
| So if you aregoing through this article to find out if you are a vampire or not, you should know it takes a lot of time, a lot of reading on the subject, Believe no body, you wil basicly figure it out with time and trial and error principle, one article can't tell you if you are a vampire or not :) |
