Upir - Original name for vampire in your native Carpathians :p: . Originally, they were water sprites or a force that knocked you off your horse in slavic mythology. Villagers believed they were the result of unusual deaths or suicides.
They took on human characteristic as villagers would dig up the supposedly offending parties. After rigor mortis, a corpse may release air sounding as a scream when pressed upon. The villagers would attribute this to life in corpses that were sometimes slow to decompose. Thus, the "undead" were born in physical form.
They exist in all mythologies. The direct correlation generally drawn is as above. I would imagine folks know Vlad Tepes (Dracula) was an actual Wallachian Prince. The name wampyr appears first in Poland. Vampyr in other slavic languages.
Bram Stoker simply took artistic license with existing mythos. The book can just as easily be read as social commentary. The outsider from a mysterious land (Dracula) (Dracul - Order of the Dragon relevant to the actual Tepes) penetrates the society, buys land, and "seduces" the women.
If people wish to be vampires, so be it. I am more than happy to accept them as such. I believe people are entitled to freedom of consciousness even if it falls outside the boundaries of "normalcy" or "sanity".
In essence, if you say you are one ... you are. That is not the whole story though.
OEC
LMMFAO! Wow. Some people are fucking retarded and others don't have words to explain them
simply ~ ~ "YES,..WE DO".

Dragcos - you remain the exception to the rule once again. In no way do I associate you with the usual suspects who walk around in roleplayer fangs.
You sir are an art form, pure and simple.

:-)
I'm sure one of us will digitise that for you. For real.
wow. this guy comes back and people fall on their knees... the second coming? ;)
must be something special.
*kisskissfangs*
(i have a vampire thing)
(but i don't walk around claiming to be one, nor have i seen an undead irl)
(that i know of)
(and i doubt they'd hide in "goth" circles, that'd be too obvious)
Your correct. They actually run investigation services...for the paranormal.Quote:

uber-covert shit.
alright, i was finally able to get to a computer.
first of all, VAMPYR is the ancient way of spelling it.
think im fake? think i should be beat down? bring it.
not hundreds of years old in body, but forced into another existance as punishment.
research the term gaki. thats relatively accurate.
all consumed blood is tested first. preferably "stale samples" that the hiv aids viruses have had time to show development in.
leymen's terms for our bloodlust? hemophiliacs.
we dont exist? find me and i'll prove my point. no pun intended.
it takes a series of blood transfusions to become one of us, many cases are caused by actual viruses or genetic defects. heard of lycanthropy? same for vamps. causes sun-sensitivity, elongated fangs, iron deficiency, and bloodlusts. and it makes it harder to taste food.
"goths" and these ridiculous teens who rip our style only think their ripping our style. we often prefer more formal wear from centuries ago.
anything i missed? email me at dravenvynocht@yahoo.com
oh and the goth circles. yeah, we like em. we generally have along the same taste in music and gore. hang on, i gotta down some raw liver. my iron levels are lower than they normally are.
one eyed cat. good job. i use the term vampyr bc most people havent heard the term upir before.
seriously... "VAMPYR" is not the ancient way to spell it... check the etymology of the word...Quote:

please use spell check:
"leyman" is actually spelled "LAYMAN"
"existance" is spelled existence
"im" needs an apostrophe... (as does "thats" when you use it in the context that you did)
"dont" is a contraction of "do" and "not" and it too requires the use of an apostrophe..
but you know that you have had centuries to study...
HIV is the virus.. AIDS is a result of the infection...
"Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)"
and the "stale sample" thing... i'm just going to let that one go...
"we dont exist? find me and i'll prove my point. no pun intended." i'm guessing the pun is based on your pointy teeth?
virus like lycanthropy? ok...
"Clinical lycanthropy is defined as a rare psychiatric syndrome which involves a delusion that the affected person can or has transformed into an animal, or that he or she is an animal. Its name is connected to the mythical condition of lycanthropy, a supernatural affliction in which people are said to physically shapeshift into wolves. The word zoanthropy is also sometimes used for the delusion that one has turned into an animal in general and not specifically a wolf...
Clinical lycanthropy is a rare condition and is largely considered to be an idiosyncratic expression of a psychotic-episode caused by another condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or clinical depression.
However, there are suggestions that certain neurological and cultural influences may lead to the expression of the human-animal transformation theme that defines the condition."
anyway...
please enjoy your own personal style, dress how you want and have fun... but don't set yourself up for abuse online... it is just in poor taste for someone claiming to be a vampire... vampires are supposed to be classy... you are coming off like the vampires on the SouthPark episode...
if you are so powerful... how about you find me and convince me otherwise...
oh noticed that you use the name "Draven" any relation to Eric Draven? you know the dude from the movie "The Crow"... haha
Wow, looks like someone drank some blood that had some leftover internet steroids in it...
ok i had to wiki...
on lycanthropy:
"Clinical lycanthropy is defined as a rare psychiatric syndrome which involves a delusion that the affected person can or has transformed into an animal, or that he or she is an animal[1]. Its name is connected to the mythical condition of lycanthropy, a supernatural affliction in which people are said to physically shapeshift into wolves. The word zoanthropy is also sometimes used for the delusion that one has turned into an animal in general and not specifically a wolf"
ok, so it's delusional. you're comparing this to vampires? ehhh... you're not helping your point with that one...
on gaki:
"Pretas are believed to have been jealous or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object. Traditionally, this is something repugnant or humiliating, such as human corpses or feces, though in more recent stories, it can be anything, however bizarre."
"In Japan, preta is translated as gaki (Japanese: 餓鬼, "hungry ghost"), while in China, preta is translated as e gui (Chinese: 餓鬼, "hungry ghost").
Since 657, some Japanese Buddhists have observed a special day in mid-August to remember the gaki. Through such offerings and remembrances (segaki), it is believed that the hungry ghosts may be released from their torment.
In the modern Japanese language, the word gaki is often used to mean spoiled child, or brat. In a game of tag, the person who is "it" may be known as the "gaki.""
again, a more esoteric, non-scientifically-based argument.
not helping.
i believe there are people who are sun-sensitive. i believe there are people who enjoy feeding on people's blood (usually as form of sexual play, which sounds absolutely wonderful to me.)
however, when you use mythological/religious sources to argue your point, it really doesn't help at all.
i'm even the kind of person *willing* to believe in the supernatural. i just have never met anyone who is actually undead/tormented by their karma. i've never even seen actual proof of such a thing. i mean, i believe in ghosts despite never having seen one, solely based upon sketchy claims and tv shows. never even seen such a thing on "real" vampires.
i'd be willing to believe the "gaki" thing... but again, i have no proof of reincarnation. and i even have studied and practiced buddhism for a time. i even feel i must have been pretty damn selfish in a past life to deserve my shitty existence now. and i live with a guy who says he's 732.
but it more sounds like "this is the argument i've researched to excuse my behaviour" rather than "i know this to be true because [cites scientific or other trustworthy source]"
>.>
or maybe i'm just feeling argumentative.
word. vampires are supposedly intelligent and beautiful (or give the illusion of great beauty) as well.Quote:

i personally don't "want" to prove you wrong, but in the absence of evidence find it hard to believe your claims...Quote:

do research... Vampyre (French) comes from Vampir (German) which comes from вампир (Serbia) which also helped create the English Vampire...
i'm not trying to insult you, but enlighten you...
Wow, that's an awful lot of words to say, "No. No you don't.":1orglaughQuote:

Damn it. I wanted to be a nice guy to this person and think "Shes just being "that guy". But you really do believe you're a fucking vampire.
Well fuck.
You'd think ancient vampire souls forced into young bodies would spend time learning to spell.
They're really fucking up over in Transylvania Highschool.
What im trying to say is they suck.
They really gotta get on point right?
I could go on for hours.... think I'll stop here.
screw it... i am directly challenging you to stick around hang out and have some freaking conversations! be who you want to be... it's the joy of the internet...Quote:

I used to be afraid of vampires. Now I realize you just have to say hateful words to them and they cower like a mail order bride. Good to know!
Vampires are repelled by Intarweb intelligence!
You lose three blood points and fail your Cereberal roll!
You know, I wasn't going to say anything. But, hounds, dogs, cats, ferrets...they can all be trained. The command, "sit" comes to mind. That's not power. That's the animal wanting a treat for listening.Quote:

Erm.. not a whole lot there. :(
Also, if Dracula is your boss and all, shouldn't he be in a proper noun form..with a capitalization?
Also, do you have a lisp and type the way you speak? Just curious. "wit", "wun" "wunce"?
Did you happen to feed on a geeksquad member? Seriously, not making fun! I'm just curious.
You see that thing you just did where you completely missed the whole point? That was funny.Quote:
