[quote=@jasonwolf] [@Witch Cat] BUt that's what makes a vampire. There are certain traits that are there to be vampires. The genetics thing just seems really restrictive as well as is very awkward in the current state of the world. The idea that there are hundreds of people who are carrier vampires is odd. [/quote] That's why I tied it to the Lilith story. She wants to destroy Adam's children, and spread her own. So she tries, and it's not like every person has a recessive vampire trait. In some families, the trait is never passed on and just dies out. And I don't see how it's restrictive, with the huge possibilities for mutations, the choices seem limitless.
