How To Become a Vampire
I was looking at some search stats and noticed that this question (how to become a vampire?) was more common than you might expect. Every day, nearly 100 people were looking for a way to join the ranks of the stylish undead. “An interesting topic for a little tutorial”, I thought. Hence this post.
It seems the jury’s still out on how, exactly, vampires are created. Some sources cite ancient beliefs (mostly useless superstition), some insist on the popular bitten-by-vampire myth, and some claim that you simply can’t “become” a vampire if you’ve been born human. Maybe there’s no single way. So, instead of focusing on any of the aforementioned approaches, I’ll describe three common vampiric features that you can attain without any supernatural help.
Hypnotism (AKA Mesmerism)
“True” vampires have it easy – some mind-control skills are supposedly included in the whole dark revenant package, along with good looks and sharp teeth. But don’t despair, … wait, no, despair is cool. Ahem. As I was saying, hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming are well within the reach of mere mortals, so you are free to learn and use it – even if your heart is still beating. Head over to Google or Amazon.com
To get an (optimistic) idea of what you might achieve, take a look at Derren Brown. He’s done some very impressive things (videos).
Night Vision
Excellent low-light vision is something I’ve always wanted. You can improve your night vision by using a few tricks, and science might eventually figure something out.
The most promising idea I discovered is NightWalking. The website has a heavy slant towards philosophy/spirituality that reminds me vaguely of Carlos Castaneda, but it also contains a detailed guide on improving your peripheral vision. As you might already know, in a situation when there’s very little light, peripheral vision is much more effective than central vision. Better peripheral vision = better night vision, so this is definitely something worth trying.
Dark and Mysterious
The “dark” part won’t be a problem – just pick something from the wide range of goth stuff available. Maybe invest in coloured contact lenses and/or appropriate makeup.
As for being mysterious, well… * nods and smiles knowingly *
Ah, okay, I’ll be more verbose. There’s a bunch of lame tutorials about “how to be mysterious” on the web, but they’re generally a crazy mix of the somewhat useful and the completely ridiculous. In my opinion the coveted “aura of mysteriousness” is a pinch of secrecy + a certain form of inner confidence. And it’s not the kind of confidence that lets you approach strangers and sing on stage. I’m talking about the kind that frees you from seeking external validation of your thoughts, actions and existence. This is something that very few people have, but it can be learned. Think.
Miscellaneous Thoughts
I suspect most people in the “how to become a vampire” crowd are looking for a shortcut to becoming cool (is that a pun?). That is understandable. My main reservation about this is that it’s an unlikely shortcut — and that most wanna-be’s don’t really understand what they’re asking for when they say “I want to be a vampire!”.
Personally, I consider the concept of blood-craving bona-fide vampires unrealistic. I haven’t seen any reasonable biological explanations for it, and the idea that “it’s magic!” doesn’t do it for me on this overall low-magic planet. Psychic vampirism is a different thing entirely, but there’s generally nothing glamorous about being unable to sustain your existence without becoming a (possibly unknowing) parasite. Okay, parasitism might not be the only way, but I won’t discuss that here.
Hey, this is probably the weirdest post on this site (so far) 😉

Long winters determine the way i walk!
I derrupt the matter of souls and cast each of them a vary of misstood spells.
They call it Akarhian of the eight Stones.
Of course i never undermind the power of the mortal family, as it corrupts my life mainly upon death.
well i really dont have the damdest clue what that means but it sounds cool…i dont wish to hunt akarhian or whatever…i just need some help…there was nothing left from my vampire desendents…but i know they were…i just need alittle help..
still a little confused what are you talking about? I am a dhampir and my blood line comes from my vampire ancestors but the vamp blood line skipped a generation and went to me from my dad’s side. Ask me any direct questions and i can help
Charles I know you are an Akara and I am a Dhampir but not all Dhampirs are hunters. I do think it is cruel for people to ask you about Dhampirs when you probably have strong feelings against my kind but like I said not all of us are like that.
Meet me, anywhere in europe and i show to you i am truely diffrent to a dhampyr.
A dhampyr is a mix between human blood and akara blood.
They have the ability to search and destroy the living akara’s.
Alongside the ability to view us whilist cloaking inbetween the minds of humans!
You of all people (oops! your not really a person your more vampire) should not hold my ancestors ways against me!
Kay the one above came out wrong. srry. I meant that i know you don’t hold my type against me charles
wrap your mind around this,
1912 war beyond the pacific
1943 great world war
1965 death between loads
2003 Beyond the wars
We all know what the three kinds of elements are.
They hold the key to salvation and life Of which i determine is to be your’s.
Of which i understand the myth of Driver and determination but do not hold the key for life!

Uh. Weird things happen to me. My eyes are naturally a really, really dark brown, sometimes they look black. But sometimes, my eyes are a really light brown honey colour. It changes with my mood. =S And my skin is really white.
This happens a fair bit, if i say something, like “your going to get hurt” it happens to the person i say it too. One time, i was fighting with a friend and i told her she was going to get hurt. She kept of falling over, and she twisted her ancle, and nearly got hit by 2 cars when she was walking home.
A few years ago i was in the bathroom, i turned to my toothbrush and stared at it, and i swear, it lifted up 3 inches.
Its just weird things like that. Someone tell me something???? Im 14 yrs old. Thanks.
Oh and when i walk up stairs i like bounce off each one, like im as light as a feather, and as if im not even touching them.
