Confessions of a Vampire

Prologue : Background

I'm not a normal person, and not in the good way. I'm kind of fat, I'm 230 pounds at 5.11, most of my weight is fat, not muscles, I also wear glasses, thin black rimmed glasses. I've got a slightly fat face. I'm not blind without glasses, but I need them anyway. I'm also a vampire.

Now, I don't fit the image of a "classic" vampire. Their suppose to be swift, charming, handsome, slender or thin individuals. But not me, I'm only slightly faster than normal but not swift, I definitely am not charming to most people. I am no where near handsome, and I am not slender or thin. My hands are kinda big, my fingers are short for most, and fatter than most as well. My metabolism is not that fast either.

I wasn't even sure why my sire "embraced" me. Maybe it was for a laugh, maybe she thought that it might help me. Anyway, the reason doesn't matter at this point. Vampires stay the same since when they are killed, they don't age. And as long as we keep drinking blood, human or otherwise, we will never age. There is a certain hopelessness to it though. Ever since your turned, you slowly but surely lose your humanity, you do this because you realize that you are no longer human, you lose friends, family and loved ones. The more humanity you lose the less value human life has compared to your own. This is somewhat natural thinking, vampires are superior to humans in every way. They are stronger, tougher, quicker, they can use powers that a normal human can't utilize. However the less you think of human life the less you are vexed by killing them and you degenerate until all you do is feed and sleep, and you don't think about anything anymore. At that point an executioner squad comes and kills you.

To describe a power, lets use a classic "mind reading", Telepathy, or whatever you want to call it. Now it is a bad power to start off with. You don't know how to control it, at first, I am told. You hear every bodies thoughts within about 50 feet. But naturally the older you get the more you can control it, until, at it's height. You can read one person's thoughts alone, without them any the wiser, from about 1,000 feet.

I mentioned an executioner's squads. An Executioner's Squad is a special squad set up and funded by some of the more powerful vampire "families". Vampire Families are not true families related by blood, most of the time. They are vampires brought together by fellowship and to alleviate loneliness and led by, generally, a powerful vampire. Some families are rich, some are poor. Some vampire's chose not to gather in families. Most families are sedentary and stick in one place they generally have stronger influence in the place they stick with, some are nomadic, and have some influence in a larger area.

Vampires, however much they don't want to admit it, aren't the only creatures out their. They're several other types of "supernatural" creatures. Werewolves are the second in population. They have 3 forms, they have a human form, a wolf form, and a hybrid form. Young werewolves are in general better than young vampires. But after about 100 years the vampires are even with the werewolves. And at about 900 years the vampires gain the dominance. Werewolves could live up to 1500 years, but like vampires they succumb to the same weakness as vampires, in losing their humanity and have to be put down, which their own kind does. Some other creatures that exist are: Fairies, Mages, deamons, and if there are deamons they're will be angels.

Now to get a scope of how many vampires there are. There is about 1 vampire for every 100,000 humans, sometimes more. In almost every population center called a city has at least 1 vampire family. The vampire families try to share, but most of the time the truces are broken, and fighting breaks out. The vampire families usually have secret control of the city they are in, from police to government. They usually are rich, since you keep accumulate money, forever in theory. So they can manipulate every thing with money, because that is how the human world revolves, with money.
