You're very own made up Vampire/Werewolf Origins
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:56 pm
I'm putting this in here because it has to do with something you made up, and I think it can be refereced to literature since it's your very own vampire/werewolf origin stories.
I have two different vampire origins. My most recent origin is that vampires came from another planet. Originally a peaceful race, their people were overrun and their planet was destroyed by these monsters. They searched for a new home, but were pretty much kicked out by every other planet...until they found earth.
Earth seemed to be a promising candidate...but the problem was...their skin was vulnerable to the ultra violet rays which caused them to die in similar fashions to that of the Japanese when we dropped the big ol' atomic bombs on them. They lacked the pigments in their skin that protected them from the sun...and they were also vulnerable to disease. But...they discovered that if they drank blood....not only would they attain immunity to disease....but they could walk around at night though still vulnerable to daylight. Blood also gave them super powers, including speed and strength, and an increased lifespan.
But the thing was, this caused them to be split into two factions...those who were fed up with being bullied by other races and decided it was their turn to be the dominate race over humanity....and those who still retained their original peaceful laws and avoided taking of the blood of sentient...turning to drinking animal blood and cloning human blood.
The older version of my story is where "God" actually created vampires to punish the unrighteous, and were instructed only to drink the blood of such, unless given permission to do so. Vampires could be passed on and changed through a virus, which was produced in glands just above their fangs. One man however, took it upon himself to kill a vampire and feast upon her blood, turning himself into one by taking in the virus that was in her blood. (small amounts of the virus won’t turn you, it takes a great amount because a normal immune system can fight it off easily…so you have to inject a LOT of the virus to turn you). He started slaughtering the righteous, and because of that God cursed vampires making them vulnerable to sunlight/ultraviolet rays. There are still good vampires that will only drink the blood of an unrighteous person unless a righteous person gives them permission. Bloodlust, the evil vampire that caused the vampire race to be cursed, as a cultish following and his followers are at war with the “good vampires.â€Â
My were creatures were originally descendents of vampires, and aren’t limited to werewolves…but also werecats, weredogs, werebears, wereboars, and any other kind of were creature you can think of, though the werewolf is the most common of the weres.
A vampire evidently grew a close connection to his totem animal, a connection that became so strong, that the totem animal and the vampire became one beneath the full moon. Since then, the vampire was no longer a vampire. Other vampires soon learned of this, and also became the first were creatures, forever separated from their vampire ancesters. If a new werecreature was sired from a human, or other being, (assuming furries, elves and such are existent in your imaginary worlds) they would take upon the animal form of their sire. I would imagine that after the vampire curse, weres would no longer be able to become weres by bonding with their totem animal. Depending on how in touch you were with your animal side, depended on whether you could transform at will, and how much you could control your animal transformation.
