I have to say that your research on vampires in the past is quite good, but u have a few facts wrong about some topics.
- Vampires CANNOT be killed by a wooden stake through the heart the resulting events will leave u dead and dumbstruck. The vampire will pull the stake out, most likely laughing, and drive it through you.
The ONLY stake that will kill a vampire is that of whitethorn which is found growing near graveyards. If you happen to drive a normal stake through their heart the best you could do is stun them, which will last until the stake is removed.
- Holy objects only work to an extent and if they are blessed by a true believer.
- There are infact such types of vampires as: Daywalkers, Shapeshifers, Nosferatu, Psi~Vampires, etc.
- Vampires are stronger, smarter, and faster than mortals and older vampires gain the ability to 'flit' which is to move faster than the eye can see.
- Vampires CAN enter a home without permission just as mortals can.
- Vampires on't always take from the neck more often it's from the arm.
- Vampires who gain the ability for Shapeshifting ofter choos: bats, wolves,snakes, and other nocturnal beasts. Some choose more humanish forms such as: Fallen Angels or Shadow Dancers.
- Vampirse rarely kill for their blood instead they choose to knock the victim out and take as needed.
