This was originally a cross between a "Pyrrha the vampire slayer" and "Penny the vampire slayer" idea. The gist is that on Remnant, in addition to Grimm and Salem, there also exists vampires that prey on humans and faunus, hidden among the populace. Because of this, there exists a secret worldwide organization called the Cabal to combat these vampires, existing separately from Ozpin and Salem as a third side in the secret war.
Vampires are enemies of mankind, but in a different way to than the Grimm. Grimm want mankind extinct, but vampires want people around to eat. The vampires have big ties to businesses and the black market. They want to subjugate and control, not eradicate. The Cabal is all that stands in their way.
Idea: Vampire Slayers
Beginning Arc:
Story begins with Pyrrha Nikos winning a tournament in Mistral. Afterwards, she goes off to meet someone she met and acts all lovey-dovey. At night, the two of them are alone. This person Pyrrha is with turns out to be a vampire, a rogue one, and Pyrrha quickly and brutally stabs the vampire. She shrugs it off and complains about the leftover ashes.
She contacts HQ and tells them that she's finished and will be reporting to her new position, Beacon Academy. She visits her parents' graves and leaves for an airship to Beacon.
On the airship, she encounters Ruby Rose and Yang, but quietly slips away, keeping on her mask of a shy nice girl. Switch POV to Weiss, who is a vampire, all superior and mighty compared to the lowly humans and faunus. She crashes into Ruby, and is angry at her. Weiss stares into Ruby's eyes and attempts to hypnotize her, but Ruby just looks at Weiss in confusion. This shocks Weiss until Blake interferes, acting even more hostile to her than in canon. Weiss huffs and stomps away.
In the evening, Pyrrha is on high alert and eyes Weiss Schnee instantly. She glares at her then pretends not to notice.
The next day, Pyrrha and Weiss stare each other down in the locker rooms. Pyrrha because Weiss is the heiress to an infamous clan, Weiss because she's a fan. A hypnotic suggestion by Weiss is shrugged off by Pyrrha with difficulty, and Pyrrha is lucky that Jaune bumps in and annoys Weiss. She commands him to leave her alone, and he does, walking away and not talking to her. Pyrrha glares at Weiss and snarls at her, which confuses Weiss. She mutters how the people at Beacon are strange and strong willed.
Initiation happens, although Blake pairs with Pyrrha instead, with Yang paired with Jaune. It happens as normal (relatively) with Team RNBW, led by Ruby, containing Pyrrha, Weiss and Blake, and Team JVLY led by Jaune. Pyrrha is both perturbed by her new team. She thinks Blake is alright.
At the end of the day, Weiss receives a package containing animal blood in bags, as well as a couple of faunus blood bags with the note: "In case of emergencies only. -Mom"
School Arc:
Weiss is irritated at Ruby being her leader (Schnees do not serve, they lead. They do not bend to others, they bend the wills of their foes and allies alike, so says her mother). Ruby being immune to her powers is perplexing and aggravating. Even Pyrrha has to obey Weiss' smaller demands (pick up trash, clean this or that, hurry up in the shower), and Blake is alarmed at Weiss' strange control over her will. She asks Pyrrha about this, and when Pyrrha keeps on her mask, Blake is left confused and suspicious of her partner.
Pyrrha gives in and tells Blake a half-truth: that Schnees have an ability to manipulate others. Blake is disturbed by this revelation, however, she is suspicious about how Pyrrha would know about it.
Ruby infuriates Weiss, and after going at it, Ozpin talks to Weiss while Port talks to Ruby. Ozpin hints that he knows one or more of her relatives. He quotes the phrase Weiss' mother says, and chuckles as he recalls an old story from ages past.
It will be about a powerful enchantress who locks exiles her enemy as she mass hypnotizes the populace of a small kingdom. The enemy she exiled was her best friend, who came back. She was immune to her control, and tried to assassinate her. She failed. In anger, the enchantress executed her, but by then, the seeds were sown. Years of control built up years of resentment and hate, and soon the maid became determined to kill the enchantress. When the maid was caught, she was executed in public. This incensed the public, and soon, an underground resistance was born. Soon, the resistance grew and after many attempts, and many lives lost, they won. They regained their freedom from the enchantress, and she reaped what she had sown.
They celebrated, and the resistance was disbanded. Then a decade later, another enchantress arrived and took control. More decades past, and the resistance came back. When the overthrew the enchantress again, they decided to stay in secret the resistance grew, taking out would-be-enchantresses before they rose to power. Eventually, a king rose and with the power of his charisma and might, founded a nation and took control, a legion of followers and allies behind him.
The story will leave Weiss to think about what it means to be a leader. Why the enchantress couldn't rule while the king did. Eventually, she comes to a realization and decides to give Ruby a chance to lead, thinking on her mother's words as well as Ozpin's, deciding to become Ruby's advisor, at least for now.
Later on, Ozpin and Glynda have a talk, and Glynda remarks about Ozpin teaching Weiss about the origins of the Cabal. Ozpin brushes her off and says that it was an old experience he had in the past. Glynda sighs.
Jaunedice:
Happens in the background, but with one key difference: Cardin is a vampire. Jaune is compelled to do his bidding when he refuses. Yang is worried and mentions it to Ruby, who is advised by Pyrrha (who scowls at Cardin with disdain when he bullies Velvet in the cafeteria, which Ruby notices). This results in Yang doing anti-vampire things to Cardin, who becomes afraid of her. Yang is another word for sun, and Cabal members have a tendency to name their kids in such a way.
This however pushes Cardin to resent Jaune even more, and pushes Cardin to make Jaune hurt Yang (emotionally). When Jaune does so, Yang is hurt, but Weiss notices Jaune's attempting to resist, and commands Jaune to tell the truth. He tells everything that's happened recently, and Pyrrha and Weiss come together to help Yang, while Ruby helps Jaune with Cardin.
Weiss gets info out of Yang without using her vampiric powers, (a big character growth for her) and Yang tells them everything, including Pyrrha's involvement. Weiss looks at Pyrrha, who only says that she learned it from a book. Weiss glares at her but decides to save it for later. Forever Fall happens, but both teams work together to deal with Cardin. Jaune gets Cardin off his back.
Jaune asks Yang to teach him to be a better fighter.
Weiss and Cardin have a private chat about what it means to be scion of a vampire clan. Weiss makes it clear that stepping out of line and raising alert to the Cabal will only makes both of their lives worse off. Cardin scoffs at that, so Weiss has to be more direct, using her vampiric will against Cardin's. Weiss is clearly stronger, and he meekly agrees. She then mentions her concern about the knowledge of anti-vampire techniques spreading, and Cardin says that doesn't make any sense. The Cabal wouldn't do so, not in such a haphazard way. Weiss agrees, and thinks to herself that Pyrrha isn't giving the whole truth.
Pyrrha makes contact with a Cabal director. The director informs Pyrrha that another Cabal member will be making an impromptu visit to Vale. This is due to incidents involving the White Fang and Roman Torchwick, and that Pyrrha will work with them.
Docks and Blake Arc:
RNBW goes out for the day to Vale, and encounter dust shops robbed by the WF. Blake and Weiss get into an argument about the White Fang. However, Pyrrha joins the conversation on Blake's side, making Weiss angry at both of them. Sun Wukong runs off a ship and RNBW gives chase, although losing him. They bump into Penny, who greets them enthusiastically as in canon. Ruby, like canon, accidently becomes friends with her at everyone else's face-palming.
Blake and Weiss begin arguing again, with Pyrrha still on Blake's side. However, Penny speaks up candidly, pointing out flaws in Weiss and Blake's arguments before leaving. She berates Pyrrha especially for not understanding the main issue at fault and leaves.
As Penny leaves, Pyrrha receives a message on her scroll reading: "I expected better from a fellow member." Pyrrha is left quietly contemplating as the two continue to bicker, Ruby trying to console everyone. Night falls, and the argument continues. Eventually, Blake gets angry enough to call Weiss a murderer.
Silence. Weiss is shaking and Ruby is looking at her, trying to understand. She calls out to her partner, "That's- that's not true, is it?" Weiss grits her teeth, her eyes taking on a dangerous glint as she clenches her fists.
She says "No. I've never killed anyone." Blake then says her family have killed faunus, and for generations. Not just through horrible work conditions, but purposefully, in person. Blake snarls as she says her mother was killed by a Schnee, the blood in her body gone as if sucked out of her.
Weiss then replies, slowly and measured. She says that whatever her mother did was what cost her her life. For going against the natural order of things, for Weiss' kind were at the top of the food web. She then says that faunus in the White Fang were also murderers, members of her family and the SDC have been killed as well. Before things get any worse, Pyrrha and Ruby pull Blake and Weiss apart, keeping them separate. Blake and Weiss both storm off in different directions.
Blake is outside when Sun comes up to her and says that he knows things about the White Fang, and what they're about to do. He asks her to come with him. Meanwhile Weiss is furious, and decides to talk to Pyrrha to confront her on everything. She catches Pyrrha looking for Blake before receiving a call on her scroll from a Cabal member. Weiss follows after Pyrrha, taking a faunus blood bag with her.
Meanwhile, Ruby is sad and alone in her dorm room, when her scroll rings.
Pyrrha meets up with Blake and Sun. Pyrrha tells off Sun for bringing a civilian into this, but Sun brushes her off and says that Blake is a former WF member, which surprises both Pyrrha and Weiss (who is lurking in the shadows). Sun says that the Cabal is thinking about bringing Blake into their operations in Vale, seeing as she has a vested interest against vampires.
Blake reveals that she knows of vampires, but not of their specifics. She knows that Weiss was one. Sun and Pyrrha bring Blake to the docks to observe the WF stealing SDC dust cargo. They want to understand why they're doing this. Sun says that Cabal intelligence into the WF knows of the dust theft, but isn't sure as to why. Pyrrha and Sun keep Blake quiet as they watch, seeing Roman Torchwick leading the WF grunts.
Weiss, hidden to everyone, decides to interrupt and stop the theft. She orders Torchwick and the grunts to stop, staring intently at Torchwick, who laughs off the effect. He gloats a little, saying things along the lines of: "You vampires really need to work on your persuasion skills. Us day-people have to use our charisma to get others to listen."
He then shoots at Weiss, who dodges it and bares her fangs. She had just drank her bag of blood and was at full power. She charges at Roman, physically deflecting his attacks with enhanced strength. Roman hits her in the back before pulling out a bright light that blinds Weiss. Roman moves to strike, but Weiss is pulled out of the way by none other than Blake. Sun and Pyrrha join the battle, taking on WF grunts and Bullheads. At first they have the advantage, until Neo arrives.
She flashes in and grabs Blake by the neck and slamming her into the ground, baring fangs. When that happens, Sun and Pyrrha rush Neo, taking on a vampire, their training. Blake manages to escape but is wounded. Weiss attacks Roman again, knocking the light from his hand and taking him down before Neo kicks Weiss in the stomach and WF Bullheads begin firing on all the students.
They are about to be overwhelmed before lasers take down the Bullheads. This was done by Penny, who reveals herself with Ruby in tow. It turns out that Penny called Ruby to do friendship things, but Ruby said that she was busy looking for her friends, so Penny went along to help. Penny located Pyrrha and Sun using their scrolls' locations.
She destroys the Bullheads, everyone is saved, and Roman and Neo escape from being lasered. Beacon and police arrive. Weiss makes amends with Blake, who reciprocates. They decide to be teammates, in spite of their families. Pyrrha and Weiss have a chat as well. Weiss doesn't know much about the Cabal, but she understands why they exist. She doesn't like them, and after learning that Pyrrha is a member, says that she can't really trust Pyrrha. Pyrrha nods and understands and begins to apologize, but Weiss stops her and says that she is willing to give Pyrrha a chance, at least for now.
Pyrrha is of course, shocked at this. She didn't expect to be in the graces to the heiress to the SDC clan so easily, especially after her secret was revealed to Weiss. She knows that her mission will inevitably lead to Weiss' death, very likely at her own hands, but for the moment, Pyrrha thinks she can pretend that vampires and others can coexist.
The three members of RNBW agree not to tell Ruby about vampires or the Cabal, but Blake decides on her own to reveal that she is a faunus to all of them. Ruby accepts the made up story that the others said to explain why they were at the docks.
Notes:
And that's all I could think of. What would have followed is a plot that weaves in the Salem plot, but now with vampires and a secret society fighting vampires too. There is a general list of things I'd want to do if I ever wrote this:
Explain the details of the Cabal and their goal to kill all vampires. There would be much more interference by the Cabal's leadership into Pyrrha and Sun's lives, and more missions as a result, resulting in a story with mini arcs throughout as the main arc progressed. The main arc would be similar to canon, but caused by a shift in the stalemate between mankind and the vampires. This would be a distraction for Salem's group to deal damage to civilization.
Penny would reveal at least some of her secrets to Ruby, but keep Pyrrha and Sun out of the reveal. Penny would be a more serious character, flipping between the naivety and innocence we normally have, and a darker, more abrasive and commanding side. This is due to being programmed by Victor Polendina, a Cabal leader. This is ironically softened by Ironwood, who tries to teach Penny about the grayness of the world and how to have fun. Yep.
Sun Wukong is as he appears to be: an easygoing dude with a free spirit. Except he hunts vampires on the side. This less serious attitude is due to living in Vacuo, where vampire clans are smaller and have less power, with the only issue being the headmistress of Shade, as Vacuo is a more anarchic and less stratified society. That being said, Sun would definitely step up to defeat vampires when need be.
The biggest change would be Pyrrha, who is much more serious, and a more fervent member of the Cabal. In canon, Pyrrha feels isolated from others due to being put on a pedestal. Being just another cog in a grand organization might actually make Pyrrha feel more at home. Her outstanding talents would make her a useful asset, but wouldn't result in special treatment or anything similar. If she entered it early enough, she would definitely side with the Cabal and identify with the group absolutely.
Her canon personality being a mask for her true self. This would be compared to how vampires operate: many have public personas as a human or faunus, but a private vampiric self when communing with others. A vampire that lives and works only with those in the know would be extremely rare, due to the small amount of vampires in total and a lack of other supernatural entities to exist with.
The story would be long, dealing with many characters and plot threads on a personal or global scale. It would be in excess of 300,000 words, at the minimum.
Schnees as vampires? Cliche, but it makes sense. They pretty much have all the characteristics of them. This is coupled with a likely scenario to result from human-faunus-vampire relations. Due to faunus being oppressed, it makes it much easier for vampires to feed. Missing faunus would result in less resources needed to hide the fact and pay off the right people.
Another thing is that vampires would feed at night. Faunus can see at night, but humans can't. Thus if a vampire feeds on a faunus in the darkness, faunus can see that happening, but humans won't. Thus less human witnesses.
The strife and mistrust between the two races could be used by vampires in secret to generate bloodshed and events that allow them to take bodies for feeding and gain more influence as they play both sides. Vampires actively benefit from racism against faunus.
Thus, the Cabal would spend resources to combat prejudice. It's possible that they supported the creation of the White Fang in its peaceful state. With the vampires in control of governments and possibly information sources, peaceful means wouldn't work. The Cabal then would have funded Sienna Khan's White Fang in secret to bring about the change they want. It isn't a perfect solution. The equality is born not of respect, but fear, and wouldn't last. But it's better than before.
This leads to Salem's Syndicate fighting the Cabal for control of the White Fang, using Adam's faction. Adam's faction would divide humans and faunus further, being what the vampires want. The Cabal has their work cut out for them down the road in the White Fang Civil War that would happen in the story equivalent of Volume 5.
Kali Belladonna being killed by a Schnee vampire makes things more personal for Blake, and might lead to some cool plot twists depending on how it goes. Perhaps everything is as it was, Kali represented a threat to inequality and thus vampire-kind, and was assassinated. Perhaps it was a random killing to show how much vampires suck out of Remnant and makes things worse.
Or maybe in an even more convoluted twist, Kali was killed in a vampire turf war. She was involved in some way. Perhaps an association with a rival clan and an easy target due to her non-vampiric nature. Or maybe in a bigger and crazier plot twist: Kali was a vampire! Still dead before the story starts though, but a lot could be done with just one death.
Pyrrha and Weiss' first interaction in the locker rooms could have had two interesting possibilities: Weiss is a fan of Pyrrha but Pyrrha knows of Weiss and is cold to her. Or both know of each other and Jaune is confused at their glares and fake politeness. Both interesting, and both result in much different further interactions and stories. My above sort-of outline is the former.
Penny is a hybrid design: Ironwood worked on her to combat Salem, while Dr. Polendina works for the Cabal to fight vampires. Thinking on it, androids (or gynoids if you want to be specific) are great against vampires. They are immune to hypnotic suggestion, they cannot be fed upon, and they could potentially match the speed and strength of a vampire. Also, UV lights and garlic dispensers could be built in. Using holy power against vampires might be more difficult, depending on the specific requirements and such.
This is actually part of a personal fan theory of mine: Penny is whatever the world needs her to be. Her stated goal was to "save the world", which is awfully vague. In canon, she's very good at fighting Bullheads, people, and Grimm, likely. But if Remnant was a different place with different horrors, Penny would have been designed differently. If Remnant was under alien threat, she would be designed to fight aliens. If it was a water world, she would be built to swim fast and punch pirates in the face. So a Remnant with vampires and Grimm would have a Penny that can fight both.
The Cabal has ties to Ozpin's Order, both working to ensure mankind's survival, but disagree on key issues. The Order prefers to guide youngsters and only bring them into the fold when necessary, while the Cabal actively seeks out and trains youth to fight vampires. The Order is lenient on vampires surviving, while most members of the Cabal are looking for the extermination of all vampires. (This is a moral and ethical issue. The Order believes that such genocide is on par with the Grimm wanting to destroy man and faunus/human purists). The Order believes in 'good' vampires, while the Cabal believes in only evil ones.
This tension between the two groups is risen even further with Ironwood's friendship/political alliance with Jacques Schnee, a young convert who has assumed role as the face of the SDC, as well as his hiring of Winter Schnee as his right-hand woman. The Cabal has serious concerns that Ironwood might be compromised.
The Schnees are a clan of prominent business people and vampires who hide in plain sight. Attempts by the Cabal to destroy them would ruin the economy and potentially turn public opinion against them.
Winter and Weiss are a bit colder to each other, with Winter being seen as a traitor. This is due to Jacques being a young convert, meaning his position is slightly lower. Willow Schnee plays a prominent role in the Schnee's dealings in the underworld and black market, while Jacques deals with more legitimate ventures. This version of Weiss is more loyal to being a Schnee, and has a better relationship with her father and brother. With Winter gone, Weiss is likely to take over the underworld dealings while Whitley takes over the business.
Team with Blake, Pyrrha, Ruby, and Weiss (RNBW or Rainbow)
Team with Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Yang (JVLY or Jewelry)
The Penny vs Pyrrha fight in the Vytal tournament would end differently. In addition to trusting each other, Pyrrha has knowledge of Penny's abilities, so she would be confused at the many swords appearing out of nowhere instead of being scared. In addition, she would be happy and glad to lose to Penny. Penny is the future of vampire slaying, and if she can defeat Pyrrha, then their secret cabal has a better chance of winning the millennia long stalemate.
The Cabal:
Pyrrha, Penny, Ciel, and Sun, Doctor Victor Polendina, Arthur Watts (mole for Salem), a shadow network in the countries of Remnant, at least a few council seats to counter the Order, businesses to fund operations, members supporting or within the White Fang and other organizations.
They work in secret, with only a few outsiders knowing any members. Doctor Polendina is the liaison with the Order via Ironwood, who is also the Order's liaison to both the Cabal and the Schnee clan.
Ciel Soleil was born into the Cabal, her family being vampire hunters for many generations. (Soleil is French for sun). Her little sun symbol on her forehead could be an indication of a sun-based religion or tradition, or maybe a family crest. She is exactly like canon otherwise. Being partnered with Penny, the so-called future of vampire slaying, is a mixed bag. While overshadowed, Ciel can't help but be in awe at the feats Penny pulls.
Victor Polendina is a Cabal leader and scientist who built Penny with the help of General Ironwood. A darker take on Penny's father, he has been fighting vampires for decades, and is deadly serious with his goals. A serious, no-nonsense man with uncompromising worldview and goals. He is sometimes at odds with Ironwood, who by comparison looks like Ozpin.
A potential plot thread would be Yang's name. It could be used as a hint to later reveal that Taiyang was originally a member of the Cabal, but later defected to Ozpin's side, likely related to his team. This could be used as a compare of the Order and Cabal's policies and methods. It could also be used as a comparison of switching sides, similar to how Qrow left his tribe for Ozpin's group.
The Cabal would definitely be gray, occasionally taking extreme measures to defeat the vampire menace, such as funding Khan's White Fang. They also kill vampires without exception, and only keep vampires alive long enough to use them. It would be noted that while capable of horrible acts and moral grayness, they are in the end a force for good.
The question for the protagonists would be whether every action the group performs is for the greater good. Even if the group is good, maybe they are misguided. Maybe they've been corrupted from outside and in. Maybe they've gotten too inflexible and unwilling to change. Perhaps they cannot see their own grayness and still see the world in black and white: vampires black, they white.
The Cabal will stay in the shadows for the whole story, for they are not represented by their leaders, they are their ideals: freedom from vampires, etc. Should they be compromised in any of the ways listed above, they can rebound and survive, as they have done through the ages. The only question is what must they change to survive.
The Vampire Clans:
Vampires were once solitary or working in small families, but the existence of the Cabal forced vampires to join together to hold back the Cabal's assassins. The story that Ozpin tells Weiss is a potential origin story for the Cabal, however it exists in myth and legend, and Blake could know a similar version written for are broken up into clans, families or groups of families lead by one or more elder vampires.
Schnee Clan in Atlas: at least 300 members, the current head being Willow Schnee, 350 years of age, who took the position after her father Nicholas Schnee, aged 500 at the time, was killed. Her consort/husband, Jacques, was a strong-willed human that bested her, leading to a romance and his eventual turning. They have three kids. Winter, the eldest, defected to the Order. The entire SDC board is vampiric, as well as several other members in prominent occupations, including bankers, doctors, scientists, and a few council seats.
The Winchester Clan: current head is Cardin's grandfather, about 200 years old. Relatively small clan, but still strong enough to have clout in Vale. Holds one seat on the Council. The Xiong Clan runs the underworld in Vale. Junior, Melanie, and Miltia are members. There are other vampire groups, and the vast majority of powerful figures in the black market in both Vale and Mistral are vampires.
There are two small clans in Vacuo. The headmistress of Shade Academy is a vampire and likely also the founder of Shade, being over 800 years old. She would be independent of other clans.
Vasilias clan in Mistral: medium size, current head is 500 years old. Neptune Vasilias is a member, but is an adopted human. There are two other medium sized clans in Mistral.
Roman and Neo: A very odd duo. Roman is human, Neo is a vampire, with Roman as the technical leader. This leads to derision from all sides, the vampires find it disgusting that a vampire is subservient to a human, while the Cabal finds it infuriating that a human is working with a vampire. Roman is a human in the vampire underworld, having made a name for himself in it. Because of this, he has a sympathy for faunus, understanding, at least to some degree, their plight.
The Order and Salem's Group:
Ozpin's group of people trying to stop Salem. In this AU, they're mostly the same, although they occasionally butt heads/work with the Cabal, which has helped them out at times. They are generally more tolerant of vampires, and Winter Schnee is a member and a vampire. She works closely with Ironwood, who is at odds with Jacques Schnee as a result, however Ironwood's influence and position as Order-Cabal-Schnee liaison/General/Headmaster/double-Atlas Council member allows him to get away with a lot.
Lionheart is still a mole for Salem, nothing much has changed. Arthur Watts is part of the Cabal, but is a mole for Salem. Luckily, the decentralized nature of the Cabal means that Watts doesn't know everything the Cabal is doing, only a significant portion. It's quite possible one or more of Salem's group are vampires, most likely Cinder, Tyrian, or both.
Vampire biology:
Spread through biting, but occurs only if vampire does it in a specific way, otherwise the human/faunus just bleeds. Vampires can eat all foods, but gains no nutrition from them. Blood is all that is needed. They drink primarily human and faunus blood (both are equivalent), and need to do so to survive and stave off the hunger.
The vampire power is Increased physical strength and healing. This is stacked with aura. They also have night vision. Human vampires have night vision almost as good as a faunus, while faunus vampires have even better night vision.
(?) Bloodlust. Vampire becomes feral, strength, healing, and speed increases, but loss of control and intelligence.
Hypnosis/suggestion. Able to suggest and control others, primarily through eye contact. The success of control depends on the individual's will, as well as resistance that can be built up through certain techniques, however, powerful and old vampires cannot be stopped with these techniques. Silver-eyed warriors are immune to all.
Vampires are weakened in bright sunlight. A fed vampire is reduced to a non fed state, and a non-fed vampire is weakened further. High amounts of sunlight in high heat is especially dangerous to them. Vampires of all melanin levels get sunburned quickly. Sunscreen helps a lot, preventing sunburn and lowering power loss, but it is not a perfect solution. Portable UV lights fashioned into weapons exist and are somewhat effective.
Cyborg vampires would be awesome, and if I wrote this, I would figure out a way to have at least one. Penny-level robotics is on par with a somewhat older vampire's strengths, although the most oldest vampires could destroy Penny with ease.
So yeah, it's a big idea, but I don't know which parts to keep, how to continue, etc. I'll likely never write this, but it's nice to write out what I can. Feel free to use this if anyone wants to. Just credit me, and all that jazz. This was originally mostly notes, but I wanted to create a story, albeit unfinished, for you guys. Thanks for reading!
