What are vampires?
Above anything else they are a mystery; Myths, ledgends, fokelore, unknown knowledge, untold stories. But they do exist... walking among us. In each of us, we have to discover our own definition of what a vampire is, and hopefully I will provide enough information for you to make an educated decision. Throughout my studies, knowledge, and experiences, there have always been various types of vampires. We are most familar with what Hollywood has protrayed and betrayed as the Dark Classic vampire. We have grown to love him and hate him at the same time. But through research we find out that the dark classic vampire is nothing more than a collection of inspired attention getting creations. I will not repeat the numerous amounts of information of the various ledgends, myths, the people behind the vampire stories. There are plenty of books and information on that. What I would like to share with you is a consolidation of the various types of vampires in existance today. So they say they are, will you question it?
First off, I would like to go through an overview of what most consider for sure a vampire trait, the act of feeding off another animal's life force in the forms of blood, life fluiuds, energy, or souls. And I will share in detail the various methods and types of animals fed upon. The next distinction is between those that live 100 years or less and those that are capable of living beyond that particular age barrier. This is where the main arguments take place between the two. Another atribute is that those that consider themselves undead vampires and there are some that consider themselves living vampires. But then again we are dealing with terms that are different among each other. What does one consider undead? what do those that are Undead vampires consider undead to mean? Well, unfortunately I do not have those answers for you at the moment. But, I am sure the vary as much as snowflakes do.
Now, I have come across a web site that deals in the explaination of the elder vampires, being the ones that live beyond the elder lifespan of a normal human, usually from 200 to 2,000 years of age. And you can find the information they have come up with at their site. They have broken down the elder vampires into two catagories (those that partake blood and those that feed on the life force) the blood catagory is broken down into two groups then for some sub groups. Also they have added another group which the consider half-breeds. It is a very informative site based out of New York.

Now for the Generation Vampires, being that they are todays generation of vampires. There are numerous facets to these types of vampires, ranging from purely blood feeding to purely energy feeding vampires, and a whole array of those that feed on both. And I shall provide links to those sites I feel provide the best information on the topic I am covering at the time.
Through discussions among the Real Vampirism Community, I have come with a understandable organization of the vampirism community (yes, this is my personal information). I categorized the vampires by their feeding actions and should not be considers terms or labels. It is based on the fact, that our term for vampires is a person that FEEDS (the need to sustain the body) from a living source, particularly people or animals. First I will provide a breakdown then go into detail of what I believe these categories to be, and hopefully through understanding might make another classification agreeable to those of us within the community.

Blood Feeders
- gives a more precise understanding of the type of vampire the vampire community is speaking of by the action thereof. These individuals have the need to sustain their bodies with the ingestion of blood, wheather it be human or animal. They do not possess the special abilities as thought in novels and movies. They are normal in most aspect to that of people, only baring some traits known through the vampire community. The site listed below provides wonderful information on these types of vampires, traits, information, and even a support group and message board open for discussion...
Sanguinarius' Vampire Support Page
This is a very good site overall... providing information for those that have the need to feed off blood, terminology on the vampirism, and a message board open for discussions all of types of vampirism... it is a good community...

Blood feeders with psychic abilities
- These individuals are like regular blood feeders but they possess varants of psychic abilities. I have not come across a site specifically for these types of vampires.
Blood Drinkers
- Although not consider vampire in the vampire community, however they do face a lot of the problems in dealing with ingestations of blood and find support among the vampire community. There has been some concern as to the differences between blood drinking and blood fetishism. Blood fetists obtain sexual, intimate or other forms of pleasure from ingesting blood, wheather it be drinking or licking. Blood drinkers can received a varity of interests from drinking blood.
Psychic Feeders
- These individuals feed off the energies of others in order to sustain their own. They have no psychic ability beyond the feeding.
Psychic Manipulators
- These individuals are considered the more powerful psychic vampires. Not only can they take, feed, drain, they can manipulate that energy and weild it to their own psychic abilities.
Blood and Psychic Feeders
- Individuals that feed on both blood and energy. But do not possess any psychic abilites other thna from feeding.
Psychic Manipulators with blood feeding/drinking tendacies
- Individuals that primarly manipulate and feed off energy, but have desire or need to partake in blood feeding or drinking. It has been said on several occasions that blood might be a source of pranic energy.
Blood Feeders with Psychic manipulation tendacies
- Individuals that are primarily blood feeders but also have the ability of those that are Psychic manipulators...
