Just Curious...

Okay, so if you haven't read my older blogs or don't really know me all that well or haven't read this on my other blog site.. or.. I think that actually covered everyone.... Okay, so if ya don't know, I play a vampire game.. There's some role playing to it in yahoo groups. Well... I posted this in a blog like site I'm mainly keeping as Kila's personal page (Kila's my vampire). Anywho, I asked some questions and basically for some opinons.. And so I thought well hey, why don't I ask you guys too? So I am.. So here's the blog I posted on the other site.

This is the link to said site where the following was originally posted:

With all the fiction and movies out there, there are so many myths about vampires... I am by no means an expert. I've basically followed suit with the average RPer.. But as I was just watching a 'pire movie last night, I'm curious as to which myths you all follow or choose to ignore. Or hey even if someone knows the whys behind something.

Reflection/no reflection: I'm ify on this one so I just leave it out of my RPs all together. I don't understand why a vampire would lose their reflection. Ifn you know, lemme know. Hollywood goes either way.. I don't recall what little fiction I read had to say.

Sunlight: That's pretty universal. Hang out during the day, get burned.. Not to hard a concept.. And for some reason I don't really need an explanation. Maybe because it is pretty universal.

Crucifixes: Now in our game, Holy Water is baaaad... But I dunno if that would apply to crucifixes. Though displaying a symbol doesn't really strike me as being bad... I reckon disturbin' hence the shrinking away from it.

Okay, it was Interview with the Vampire I saw...

Dead blood: Why would it be bad to drink once the heart has stopped? Just curious...

Hmmm.. What else...

Garlic: Again in game we've got Garlic Spray, but why is garlic bad for vampires?

Procreation: The norm seems to be siring as the only method. I read/saw someplace that they had kids... That was just disturbing to me...

OH!

Coffins: My 'pire has one and uses it... Last night, the movie made it sound like a necessity. Elsewhere, it seems to be optional... If it IS a necessity, could someone explain it too me?

I'm sure I've forgotten some, and maybe I'll come back and add or whatever... I'm just curious as to the reasons behind and which you all choose to follow for your RPs. I again follow the general norm, just cuz, well, those were the examples I got when I started this game.
