My thought was that vampirism is only somewhere in the area of seven or eight thousand years old. My character really wouldn't be a "more powerful vampire" than any others; he would mostly benefit from age and experience.

I can start drafting up lore or a character as needed, just tell me what you need from me.

Another vampire I'm neutral towards. I'm not opposed to it, but I feel like we could benefit from some more diversity in that department. Perhaps some other horror trope that we can play up? A lich? A mummy? Perhaps a witch or a werewolf, or something taking off in that direction?
