The real origin of the vampire
So we're seeing up to play a new tabletop RPG (think dungeons and dragons) but the theme is going to be Monster Hunters that work for the government in the 1950s. Think a cross between league of extraordinary gentlemen and the X-files.
The game master suggested I actually play a Daywalker vampire. Basically the sun thing is too big of a barrier so I spend some character points to buy off that weakness and get a dhampir.
I'm wanting to have my character hide this fact from the other players to see how long it takes them to figure it out. So I'm thinking about how to pass off other weaknesses. Not being able to enter a private home without an invitation, not being able to cross running water under my own power, having to stop and count rice if someone throws it, not being able to abide a Brandished holy symbol.
I'm starting to think the first vampires were anemic albinos with OCD in a period that didn't know about any of that stuff and they just started explaining it away with supernatural causes.
I'm mostly joking, but it really did get me thinking
