top vampire myths and the truth...
1)) Vampires sleep in coffins
-- Seriously? Most people wouldn't sleep in a coffin, but if they did, why would you care?
2)) Garlic repels vampires
-- Garlic isn't something we quote-on-quote "can't" be around. Although, most sangs do have heightened smell and they will most likely not particually enjoy being around strong-smelling things, such as garlic or onions.
3)) Vampires have superpowers, etc...
-- We are mortal, you know that? The only thing extra we may aquire is slightly heightened senses and increased intuition.
4)) Fangs?
-- all humans have canines. but, some sanguinarians buy realistic looking fangs or get their canines sharpened. Only a handful of sangs, however will have naturaly sharper canines then usual.
( I get people telling me that my canines are pretty sharp, all the time)
5)) Crosses repel vampires
-- crosses are just that, crosses....wood, metal, or what have you. In fact, most vampires are religious and wear crosses. They have no effect on us.
6)) Vampires are killed by driving a stake through their heart
-- Think about that for a moment. Wouldn't all humans dies from a stake to the heart?
7)) Vampires burst into flames upon exposure to sunlight
-- we all have some form of photosensitivity, but definatly not enough to start flame! our eyes hurt and we sunburn usually faster, but come on....
8)) Holy water burns the skin and flesh of vampires
-- It's water blessed and used for "cleaning" of the soul, etc... it has no effect on us. Well, you could drown us in it. But the "holy"part of the water sure wouldnt do anything.
9)) Vampires prey on virginal women
-- we don't "prey" on anyone. We get blood from willing donors, so you dont have to worry about a vampire sneaking up on you in the middle of the night cause you're a virgin etc..
10)) Vampires can fly
-- We can only fly in airplanes...
11)) Vampires are not visible in mirrors
-- Again! we ARE mortal, and have a reflection. How would we check our makeup if we didn't?
12)) Vampires are OCD
--while some might be, vampires as a whole are not OCD
13)) Vampires have red eyes
No one has red eyes unless they buy colored contacts except maybe albino people and even then their eyes are normally pinkish.
14)) Vampire wear dark evening clothes and capes
While some of us choose to be gothic the majority of vampires are actually very normal looking.
15)) You can be turned into a vampire
absolutely false. sanguinarians are born this way. thats just the way it is
