Vampires don't necessarily control themselves. I mean, not just the feeding thing. But in becoming a vampire, there's a very good chance your personality is going to change, and you have no control over what it's going to become. In essence, the person you are dies, and an impostor with your memories, but not your feelings, takes your place.

Vampire, definitely. Werewolves by definition don't have control over either when they change or over what they do when they've changed (and if they do, they're just shapeshifters changing into a wolf, not a were-wolf- kinda nitpicky, I know, but we have to keep these things organized), and that definitely appeals to me. But vamps are in control of themselves all the time, and they get their super-strength/senses all the time (instead of just in wolf form), and they get instantly beautified as well (while werewolves remain normal-looking people, or possibly ugly people depending)

I do think though that it is a good thing that when they change they go fully wolf, as i can't think of any way they could make a werewolf with boobs anything but off-putting.

I'm going with werewolf - they have that whole back to nature/ability to sunbathe thing going for them.

Plus wolves do that whole hunting in packs thing... Does that mean in your human state you'd be more inclined (instincts taking precedence) to live with other werewolves in some sort of communial digs?

I think I'm more the solitary kind, incined to reside in a dark, gothic style manor.

I'll agree with you that vampires aren't animals but thats mainly because what they actually are are corpses. bleurgh.

I can't recall a werewolf ever having gone to the vets, but i'm pretty sure poopascooping doesn't enter into the picture.

As for the pack thing, werewolve have lived in every kind of way, solitary, in packs, in networks, communities and not even knowing if they aren't the only ones, its flexible.

Were I a werewolf? I'm already a pack animal by nature, so why not - my entire life i've been surrounded by family, friends, multiple pets and random strays, i love the chaos and community so bring on pack life.

I can't do solitary, just like i couldn't do with out plants, trees, sunlight, noise, bickering, creme brulee, christmasses and a dozen other things which vampires don't seem that into.

Don't get me wrong, i'd love the chance to be all sexy and irrisistable (its only a glamour but then what is a push up bra?) dramatic and svelt. But after a while my own broodines and tortured soul searching for the meaning to an endless existence would just start to get right up my nose, 'd have to stake myself just for being a pretentious git.

In one sense yes, though on the other hand, i've a vague suspicion that real necrophiliacs wouldn't go anywhere a partner that could still move and talk to them...

At the very base of the legend they are the dead animated. Pretty much only a working vocabulary above zombies. At the other end, it doesn't seem to matter which book you read or film you watch, they have to be dead to be a vamp. I know of versions where they can be born with a vamp 'virus' or whatever, but true, fully powered up vamps are dead dead dead.

Angel too - even if he is all souled up and whatnot, she still did a dead guy.

Ummmm. In this day an age!!? If werewolves did exsist one of the many clauses (er-hmm) should you be one or know of one, would be; make sure they don't eat people, that they've had their jabs and that they've been 'fixed' (Ouch!)!!! To add the usual recreational pursuits, such as 'walkies', would be subject to proper hygiene precaution. Should such an act be remise - a heavy fine would be landed by said Werewolf and/or owner. Real pain!

---

I have to point out that werewolves are WOLVES and not dogs. Their natural hunting grounds are going to be forests and other out of the way, uninhabited places, or even private land - in the books i talked about before, the pack spent a considerable amount of time and money aquiring vast tracts of NY state pine forest Even in being human the werewolf finds a forest with an abandoned house to change in. Even when away from home they would choose to run in wastelands, wooded areas, abandoned neighbourhoods and other places where sensible humans would venture little. The last place they would ever go would be manicured public parks with wardens and fine systems.

Do they do the Times crossword too :) ?

I can think of at least one that does, another that paints for a living... another that lectures at a university... ;)

Who say's Vamps don't do creme brulee, or blamanche or even custard pies! I bet a vamp loves a good custard pie fight! Who doesn't ?

---

The point would be that I like eating them! Most authors agree that vamps no longer eat food, there are a few exceptions, but on the whole no.
And throwing a creme brulee at someone would be pretty close to heresy! ;)

Quote:

Ahh you'r focussing on Angel here.. There are other vampires with a lot more sense of humour and fun. Willow vamp for instance..

---

fun, if torturing, killing, maiming and generally being really naughty is your idea of fun..
I was actually thinking of Louis du Pont du Lac or whatever his name was, Dracula himself to some extent, half a dozen other vamps that i've read about.. the only one I ever Liked was Lestat - but he was still a troublesome git.

Er if you're a werewolf you're hardly eating tofu and quiche y'know.

I know - i'd be relying on the hope that while wolf i'd develop more of a liking for it, and have the stomach to deal with it. I can't see me staying human shaped and suddenly loving the runny protein.

Quote:

---

Also that morning after being a werewolf there's the horrible realisation that you'd probably spent most of the night licking your own nuts! Or worse still sniffing some other werewolfs bum....

---

It could go two ways. A, i'd be wolf formed but retain human conciousness, in which case no butt licking there or b, i'd be fully canine and not give a monkeys. The realisation on return to human form would be something you (might) eventually become accustomed to. Strong toothpaste, yes.

Scent is how canines communicate, hunt, bond and mate, they aren't just smelling the poop.

I'd also like to point out that not 24 hours ago i was watching a show and a vampire pointed out that he quite liked the vein at the top of the inside leg (Tru Blood) which isn't a million miles from the butt and also that a vast number of humans aren't adverse to a little mouth-to-bits contact, again not a million miles away from the parts in question.

Quote:

Anyways it's all good. Wouldn't be any fun if we all wanted to be vamps would it.

---

no it wouldn't be at all fun if everyone were the same! In fact it would be miserable and a wee bit booring. And theres nothing to say the two couldn't happily co-exist. Infact I think there are several versions where the vamps had to rely on the weres to save their sleeping asses many a time.

Unless I'm mistaken, Blade is a dhampir, a half human, half vampire born from a human female. Not a vampire.

And actually, in a wolf pack, there generally aren't fights over mates. Using the alpha male/female in that sense is a mistake. Generally, ONLY the alphas mate. Sometimes the alpha male mates with betas, and if the pack can handle the increased population, sometimes betas mate. But generally, because overpopulation will kill a wolf pack, the alpha wolves do NOT allow other wolves to mate. A bit of teeth snapping, tail between the legs, maybe even a submissive roll onto the back, and it's a done issue.

He'd be alive, because he wouldn't BE a vampire, in that case. And half-vampires don't drink blood either... And I don't think they're immortal. Though I think they do have a curse. Lots of them become vampire hunters because they hate their nonhuman parent, and for good reason. And they're good at it because being a dhampir allows them to see things, and in ways they couldn't otherwise, plus gives them a boost in strength.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhampir

Wolf packs are territorial. Either they wouldn't associate with each other, or the packs would merge together and dinner table hierarchy would be determined in the manner I've already described.

The point I a was making about wolves/dogs was that a wolf would go to the park and it would turn into a scene from a disaster movie. First people would stop and stare in befuddlement at the problem (our wolf) then the first woman would scream, then they'd all start screaming, then there would be running around willy nilly and the snatching up of babies apart from that one abandoned child who would sit in the sandpit and wail and then the park would empty, wailing toddler n'all.
