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) 😉

hey, n/a… Sin littelle’s blood is tainted… its not pure, he is not a pure bread vampire, he’s not even close…
So that means you can kill him even faster and easyer samus!
lol… awsome easy kill…
k ill talk to you guys later fresh prince of bel-air is on ttyl…
ya i gtg 2 ttyl chey and samus!
k bye guy’s im gunna go 2 i guess…
who ever said i was a guy………………………oh and my real name…if you count all the centuries i’ve lived……is Callithian….which is why Caileth, who surprisingly found the internet finally……….ugh…..is so protective and obsessive over me…………and whoever said i was girl either……………..and yes i am a purebred…i’m half psi half sanguinarian…..i come directly from Caileth’s line and he came from one of the seven elder’s lines……it seems to me that Samus has no clue where the hell i am let alone who the hell i am……not to mention none of you three have any fucking clue about vampyric history at all…….good luck trying to find books…it’s passed down through lineage and telling the fledglings…….do you know who the seven elders were?
Callithian is correct…and this is my business because Callithian is part of my clan….i’m over 3,000 years old for your information……ha…chey you don’t even know the obvious limits of your own strength…you’re clearly a newer fledgling…Leisha is centuries upon centuries old..she’s older than i am even not to mention she was actually one of the very few first members of my clan that I am now head of. And Samus, you won’t touch my kin unless you’d like your head taken off and your heart torn into shreds. I won’t hesitate to fight you when my clan is in the middle of this. And n/a this is my business. I just recently found out information on the “internet” and I happened to find Callithian for the first time in years, however, that does not mean I will just “blow off” your insults.
ya i bet you wouldent just blow off my insults but you probibly blow off lots of people in your years of life lol!
and of coarse we dont know vampire history me chey, and samus were changed un will fully, y do you think i dont feed i dont want to get hooked and kill members of my family or friends at sleep overs… but i am kinda pale but not too noticeable only when compared to friends and family.
sry for that first comment you totally set me up for it lol…
All vampyres learn the history in some form or way. I’d advise learning it.
you all know nothing we reveal nothing because this world is not ready nor is it willing to accept that there are greater things than man that walk this earth
i dont need to learn i will live how i please so go lecture someone else
