Wasn't there a semi-recent movie about that? The name escapes me, but I believe the premise was that the vamps conquered the world, overfed, and had to stock the few remaining humans in farms. Kinda dumb when you think about it.

That one stupid human who wants to wage open warfare on humanity even tho there are like billions of humans.
>>77600921
He wanted to die in a war tho.
He had a fetish for war.
And they just destroyed a city, I mean, the thing was considered a terrorist attack instead of a war. The hole point is that he failed, even if he is based.
>>77601070
Was that recent?
It feels like it was close to 10 years.
Hold on, I've got to check.
>>77600921
>That one nazi who wants to wage open warfare
That was his motive. The whole "destroy Alucard" was a distant second to "wage as much war as possible".
>>77600836
It depends on the kind of vampires
If the vampires has multiple weaknesses (decapitation, stake into heart, holy cross/water, garlic, silver, or light ect).
But if the vampires are basically mutants that have almost no weaknesses and tons of superpowers that make them unlikable by mortal means, then it does make me wonder why throughout history, they have not just conquered humans and made them slaves/cattle.
>>77600836
You have to admit that Stan is making it work pretty wrll so far.

God/gods/aliens actually gave a shit in the past and endowed certain humans with powers made explicitly for fucking vampires up the ass.
Fast forward and humans are a bit less pious in their sky wizard and are now more than capable of fucking up vampires on their lonesome.
>>77601331
a bit less pious and have less faith in their sky wizard*
Vampires given too much bullshit hax without any weakness just creates too many problems in explaining a setting on how they haven't managed to take over everything, unless there are other supernatural forces at work that are even more powerful and frightening than they are that keep them in hard check.
So 30 Days of Night thread?
>>77601270
>
Castlevania Dracula may be the only exception to the rule. He made himself the second most powerful being to ever exist. Second in the sense only God is higher.
He doesn't need blood. He just got sick of humanity's shit.
He obly has one weakness, a specific whip used by a specific family, but nothing can actually perma-beat him.
He managed to create a self that survived himself. When his soul was forcibly separated from his own power, he found he just reincarnates now and that Dracula will always exist, even if another soul wears the mantle.
>>77601217

>>77601471
Did they ever advance the story past Bloodrayne 2?
Because that was a damn abrupt ending.
>>77600918
There are probably way more than a thousand vampires in OWoD. There's probably way more than a thousand in just the USA.
>>77601805
Don't know about OWoD, but NWoD gives the figure of 1 per 10,000 humans.
>>77601805
Sure there were. But there's also all kinds of other horrific shit that won't put up with vampires trying to take over. Not to mention that vampires are powerful and durable, but there's still fuckloads more human beings and even normal weapons can kill a vampire eventually.
>>77601989
Oh, yeah, of course.
>yfw when the coy Ventrue double-dealer wasn't a Ventrue at all

>>77601191
Because it almost every setting that vampires have existed, they already tried and failed. In those settings, humankind's only real weakness is mortality. Vampires have quasi-immortality but also exist in backbiting, insular societies that are more likely to tear each other apart than human societies. They can't get their shit together as well as a bunch of scared humans fighting for the same cause.
>>77602154
Vampires are like asexually reproducibg spiders.
Territorial, aggressive, not fond of their own, and usually sedentary.
>>77602270
That's a pretty apt description.
>>77601070
That's also the premise of the comic Broken Moon. Werewolves fight back, and the remaining humans join them and the other monsters. Dr Frankenstein has created THOUSANDS of monsters. Shit gon' git rull.
>>77602319
What about the mummies?
>>77602367
The corpses of ancient kings that are possessed by energy based extra-dimensional beings who secretly contacted ancient civilizations for the sole purpose of tricking them into preparing those kings' dead bodies for possession; doing so under the guise of gods and spirits.
Take that to the bank.
>>77602444
No, I meant are they siding with the vampires, the human/wolf/Frank coalition, are they neutral, or are they against everyone?That description kicks ass, I will take that to the bank.
>>77601548
>forget how to fight vampires
So they're literally going to be waiting forever. Humans forget a lot of things. How to be kind, how to be at peace. We forget our loved ones and even our names.

Really vampires just need to get over that specific hurdle. Even in hundreds of thousands of years humans will know shit is up when General Acula refuses to engage in warfare during the day.

I thought that Twilight vampires were too territorial to do shit like that. Plus Twilight vamps are still weak to fire.
>>77601805
Yeah, but they're spread out, lethally competitive, and mid-tier as far as supernaturals in OWoD go. Bloodlines is pretty good about showing exactly how few vampires their are, about two dozen Camarilla and Anarchs, of which at least three die during the game. There are a bunch more Sabbat, but they're most recently turned cannon fodder under the command of a handful of higher ups.

Werewolves are more dangerous.
None of that pussy can't cross running rivers or need to be invited to come in bullshit. Plus aren't they invincible aside from silver? Meaning you can fuck them up with an AK47 but unless it had silver bullets they're just gonna heal up Wolverine style and end up more pissed than ever. Only downside is that they generally don't have control in beast form and have to wait for a full moon. But if they find a way to turn on command, just sneak a bunch of untransformed ones into an enemy stronghold and go to town. Like suicide bombers, only they explode into whirling tornadoes of claws teeth and death.

>>77600836
>Vampires have clans, noble houses and international conspiracies which somehow never attract the attention of anyone but other vampires
I can't stand this. You have a whole species of superhuman parasites running around killing hundreds of people every day in ways no one else ever could and somehow there aren't UN death squads burning their mansions down? That's not getting into the fact that the families themselves are always made up of the same one-note foppish arrogant faggots who blather on and on about how superior giant tapeworms are to the species which them a million to one and could kill them all in month. Why can't vampires just be fucking monsters again?
>>77603405You don't get to bring friends.
>>77600836
>faggot is breaking the masquerade
kill him immediately
>>77603405
In The Ring, you still die. The copy making is a first movie fakeout.
Onryo fit into the Japanese idea of reincarnation. For every pleasure, you must suffer. For every indulgance, there's a kind if spiritual debt you owe. Work, or contributing positevely to the world or doing great feats all pay off spiritual debt.
When you die they tally how much you owe the universe up. If you owe a LOT you become a demon and go to hell until some saintly spirit tries to reform your soul.
If you owe but weren't Caligula, you go to a kind of afterlife prison to suffer until you're neutral then go back again.
If you're good, you ascend to a higher plane and get to enjoy paradise. But you can overindulge in paradise and get booted down to Earth again.
If someone suffers so much the universe owes THEM big time, like holocaust experiment victims for example, you can't leave. The world owes you a huge fucking debt. So you stay as a ghost and extract your debt from the world as you see fit.
The ones who are owed a lot, and are full of bitterness or were rendered mentally ill by it? They kill, and kill, and kill, and kill...basically without end until their hate fizzles itself out or they depopulate an area. In The Grudge, she eventally kills all of Japan other than her sister. Who goes crazy.
>>77603518
I assume all the hidden stuff is done by some kind of dark magic. Like, they're allowed to operate in secret because of it but can't use it to take over the world for some bullshit magic reason. It's kind of stupid yeah.
I like classy noble vampires, but in a modern setting it does come across as a little weird, what with the internet and all. An evil count could lay low and suck the blood of maidens all he wants in olden times, but in modern times he should have people google earthing his mansion and sending him prank pizza calls within the hour.

Some bullshit like "well, in [such and such] folklore, vampires could only be PERMANENTLY killed under the light of a blue moon, with an 8K Golden Crucifix about 13 inches long. Wooden stakes? Nah, those don't work at all, that was made up so peasants wouldn't lose their shit over a vampire plague. Not even regular crosses or sunlight really do the trick, all that shit does is provoke them... If they were real, which of course they're not."

BloodRayne had a shitload of potential and she's actually /co/ related. Her comic sold pretty well for a licensed IP younger than the 80's, and she's way more endearing than her character archetype has any right to be.
![[Yandere Laughter Intensifies].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wXGZA3d.jpg "[Yandere Laughter Intensifies].jpg")
In most of my settings like to treat vampires as glass cannons. They have a LOT of weaknesses, but a lot of nasty tricks; they're fueled by blood in the way an overloaded war machine burns through ammo and gas. Since they're apex predators, they have immense energy needs and tend to fall to lethargy when not motivated.
I like to make them mega cannibals too. They want blood, meat, organs, all of it, and they are fucking hungry. Blood is just how they limit themselves, if they get too hungry or crazed, they'll just start straight up eating people alive.
How do you all like to style vampirism? Mine is a weird demonic blood parasite that infests your body, so you're not actually dead, just deathly sick and malformed by it and its needs. Half of the hunger is a cordyceps-style instinctual madness forced by the sickness to perpetuate itself.
>>77602572
Dracula beats the shit out of Satan and enslaves a couple old ones within his castle.
The castle itself is the manifestation of a cthonian entity given shape by Dracula's will.
Then again in Castlevania, Dracula's one power is literally "To rule", everything else comes from the entities he rules over as explained in the "Sorrow" games.
>>77606370
I kinda of like that. He's a conceptual King piece on a cosmic game board. Dracula himself isn't extraordinarily powerful in a brawl, and besides the usual demon form his powers are typicall "Fireballs" "Teleport" "Laugh" and "Bats Fucking Everywhere"
But with the power to rule, supernaturally, he has entire armies of the mythic and that whole damn castle to do his will. Well. Before a bunch of cosplayers rush in and BDSM him to another death.

If you knew the ammount of prostitutes/escorts that dissapear each year, you wouldn't find it so impossible.
Besides vampires feed once (a pint), each moon cycle. You don't even need to kill a single person for that.
Ok, someone with science tell me why this would be a catastrophically bad idea;
Vampire Lord or coven, old one I imagine, finally figure out how to get the moon to eclipse the sun. They find that while they're weaker in an eclipsed sun, they're way the hell safer and stronger than any direct sunlight, especially because of the mythical connotations.
So they decide that they're going to figure out a way to alter the path of the moon, such that it either causes incredibly frequent eclipses, or causes an eclipse every day over a certain area, granting them semi-perpetual night.
Ignoring the massive wars with werewolves this would entail, how apocalyptic would the world become if the moon ended up subtly changing to such a pattern?
As another idea, maybe eclipses actually make vampires go super saiyan or some shit, so they're actually incredibly valuable if stymied by being a world-known and locational variable.
>>77606521
>Besides vampires feed once (a pint), each moon cycle
According to...?
>>77606521

Dude, that's such a 'depends on the story/setting/myth' thing that it's useless to state. Unless you do mean a specific setting.

Yes.

It has shitty ballistics due to weight and hardness and might damage your barrel from repeated firings, but nothing is stopping you from using it as a bullet. The real issue is that silver contracts while it cools and requires a lot of heat to melt so defects in casting bullets are frequent and hard to redo. You're better off making silver shot and sticking it in a 12 gauge.

It was the initial premise of a recent anime called Seraph of the End, too. Humans mostly wiped themselves out with a biological weapon gone wrong, so vampires stepped up and gathered the survivors for their own protection. Then in the second episode it turned into a show about high school kids fighting each other with magic powers because god fucking dammit, Japan.

>If someone suffers so much the universe owes THEM big time, like holocaust experiment victims for example, you can't leave. The world owes you a huge fucking debt. So you stay as a ghost and extract your debt from the world as you see fit.
>The ones who are owed a lot, and are full of bitterness or were rendered mentally ill by it? They kill, and kill, and kill, and kill...basically without end until their hate fizzles itself out or they depopulate an area. In The Grudge, she eventally kills all of Japan other than her sister. Who goes crazy.
Isn't that unfair to their victims though? Doesn't the universe owe them some shit and we get in an ouroboros of appeasing ghosts?

SCUD the Disposable Assassin had a villain for an arc like this. He wanted to make the moon perpetually full so hed be an all powerful werewolf all the time.
He got jettisoned out of the space craft and exploded in the decompression of space. But since werewolves can only be destroyed by silver, he reformed... And got blown up again.
He orbits the moon forever, blowing up and reforming for all eternity.
>>77601070
There's a short story with that idea in one of Max Brook's books.
>>77612127
They were.
I actually can't decide whether I like Demon: The Fallen or Demon: The Descent more. They're both really neat takes on the concept. And they're both amazing to throw at unsuspecting PCs, too. A vampire group that has grown overconfident from success - whether oWoD or nWoD - is just begging to be introduced to someone with a two-dot power better than most of their five-dots.

>>77603026
I'm a big fan of werewolves and vampires being roughly equal power level, Hellblazer did it well.
How viable vampires are as a race basically amounts to how much they have to eat in relation to population growth, and whether or not feeding kills the human. You could easily get as high as 1 in 100 people being a vamp if they feed non-lethally, although 1 in 10k would work if they feed lethally once every 4 days.
I'd imagine a vampire manor kind of being like the playboy mansion, actually, except instead of sex you occasionally get bitten by Heffner.

What's the difference between a werewolf, and a wolfman?
>>77605665
>>77611778
That made me unreasonably upset
>>77614382
Werewolves are humans that turn into wolves, wolfmen are bipedal/humanoid wolves that turno into quadruped wolves.

>>77605375
I've been wondering about all those supernatural kryptonites. Since the dawn of humanity all cultures have been making up deadly horrors that stalk us in the night, and they all give them ridiculous weaknesses. Vampires just get it the worst because they're popular and tend to get rewritten a lot.
What gives?
>>77602561
no sun, or wooden stakes in SPACE!

What? He didn't fail at all. He got a massive war that completely annihilated London only leaving like 2 flatscan humans alive. He bested Hellsings monster and even managed to get Iscariots heavy hitter to die in the process. He even got to die in battle just like he wanted to. The major got everything he wanted and more.
>>77600836
If we are talking about modern vampires who can walk in the sun and all.
Why wouldn't humans want to be vampires?
>Live longer
>Can't die from diseases and less need for medical care
>Don't require sleep
>Super abilities
It's literally like just waking up one day as an upgraded human.

Okay, what if a vampire from another species bites a vampire? Like in American Vapire they have different types of vampires? Could we get super vampires?

It's probably really uncomfortable to live with.
Also, his life is literally hanging on an easily erased blood sign.
>>77614692
Screamland addressed this - society is not built around people that live forever, so being a vampire gets really impractical. Dracula had to put up with a lot of inconveniences, like not being able to return to his castle after WWI because suddenly being an aristrocrat was bad and the soviets owned everything, having to get a job despite hating working because he was used to certain standards of living, not being able to 'retire' because he needed an stable income FOREVER, and having a shit love life because every single person he ever cared for either died a human or they broke up after a certain amount of time, so he was stuck with unfulfilling one night stands.

I read this book that said being an autistic vampire is a perk because they can count the grains super fast, Rainman style.
>>77606243
I like to style them as drug addicts.
in a state off euphoria when they're full on blood, batshit insane when they haven't had their fix.
a vampire full of blood has skin like rock and is mostly immune to sunlight, but is weak to holy objects and running water.
A vampire with no blood is frail, fragile, and will go up like a roman candle when exposed to sunlight, but is immune to holy relics because there's nothing human in them for the relics to resonate with.
Did any of you ever read Life Sucks? Seemed kinda reasonable for todays vampires
>Can not go out in sunlight
>Can not enter home without invitation
>Garlic repels them
>Can not cross running water, likely including sewers and aqueducts
>Can not enter church, with or without invitation
>can not touch cross
>Burned by holy water
>must count rice, whenever rice is present
>Stake to heart instant death
Vampires are weak sauce anon.
>>77612580
No.
Example: Samurai gets drunk with his friends, comes home and takes a knife to stab his wife over 90 times.
She dies slowly, seething with hate.
She spends 200 years slitting the throats of young men not in the company of a woman. They die immediately, and go to rewards, punishment, or reincarnation as anyone else does. Shit was unfair, but they died afraid and quickly.
>>77617290
>Death is fine oh lord the horror if someone SUFFERS while they die.
Don't be retarded anon. murder is murder. it doesn't matter how you're murdered, it was murder, and it's just as bad, but no worse than any other murder. Having a more traumatic death than someone else doesn't give you any kind of justification for killing anyone, other than maybe the one person who is guilty for having killed you.
>>77614795

Humanity's strength is we don't think in terms of unavoidable threats. We find a new monster, we invent a new spear point.
We encounter an alien being, we introduce our genes to their pool and our slang to their language.

I like that.
>>77617585
Sorry, were we talking about ethics or the rules of ghost stories?
Because Japanese ghost stories work on the idea that the grim reaper shrugged since the Earth owes you by his reckoning, and you're too full of hate to sit at the river and drink booze. So instead you become A slasher movie villain in the style you feel like.
Normal people who die normal deaths get treated like everyone else. Your death has to cause a huge karma clusterfuck to get to stick around for awhile.
>>77618922

"Killed by an angry ghost" hardly counts as a normal death, though.

Well not all ghosts become serial killers.
There's one who gets married and has living kids, one who goes out to sea and watches sailors work, you can even become a ghost while still alive (like a second self, pic related), you can become a talking animal and go on adventures.
Seriously. Go here http://yokai.com and start looking at random pages.

I already know the answer, but... Can Hellsing be /co/ now? I just love it so much, and it's not moeshit so /a/ doesn't talk about it. If we can take Big O and DBZ, we should be able to take this too.

I have a question.
Is Frankenstein's Monster considered a zombie, or it's own monster? He is undead but doesn't share many other zombie traits.
>>77603026
>Plus aren't they invincible aside from silver?
Not really, though a silver bullet, especially one blessed in the name of St. Hubert, patron of hunters, will kill one instantly.
