It was kinda interesting to see that Gabriel had the choice to become a Vampire, instead of the rather lame Crimson Stone magic... What would you do if a Vampire invited you to drink?
Although becoming a vampire makes you immortal, consider the pitfalls carefully.
1. Drinking blood is not optional, you need it to remain "alive".
2. Sunlight will KILL you. No twilight sparkles for you.
3. No Dracula powers -no bat/mist/wolf etc. This is the real deal.
4. Your social life, career, and your future would be changed. Forever.

I'd rather be a dark priest.

I'd rather be IGA.

I don't think my celebrity crush has a liking toward vampires.
-
Nah.

Hmm...

maybe poll shoulda been "would you rather be a vamp, lycan or necro"
in which case i'd rather be necromancer cuz oh I dunno, they're cool I guess o.o;

2. Sunlight will KILL you. No twilight sparkles for you.
depends on the type/interpretation. Original Bram Stoker Vampires could daywalk, but with reduced power.
3. No Dracula powers -no bat/mist/wolf etc. This is the real deal.
again, depends on the interpretation. Although either way, i would assume powers to only occur in vampires who have been around a considerable amount of time.
It all depends see?
If you mean CV vampires, well, those seem to change depending on who's in charge...
Bram Stoker Vampires?
Nosferatu Vampires?
Etc.
They all come with different weaknesses and and abilities too.
For one, Bram Stoker Vampires, need to rest in their native soil. Meaning, if you travel, get ready to haul 50 boxes of earth with you!
Bram stoker vamps also require drinking a vampire's blood to turn (after draining their blood over a period of time sometimes). Other vampires, (specifically, the more modern kind) have to simply bite someone once.
Should specify what vampire lore you are going by.

Vampires are so vague. According to my interpretation, they don't suck blood, they suck love and they come on Valentine's Day, though it's not unusual for them to appear in other times. They are responsible for the large peaks in break-ups in certain periods of the year. They are invisible and flow with the winds. The only thing that can counter them are schlager songs.

Second this. :)
-
The solely idea of inmortality is very tempting but it has lots of bad things too, so I would think about it but wouldn't dismiss it entirely :P
-
What's the point of being a vampire if I don't get to sparkle? :(
-
I'd rather be a Dhampyre. They've got many advantages over the vampire and almost none of their weaknesses.

-
They actually die very young and have a messed up skeletal structure. :-X :-X
-
I was unaware of this. What lore do you get this particular tidbit from?
You're telling me they get Scoliosis or something? Or are they hunchbacked?
-
It's tempting, but it also depends on the particular interpretation of what a vampire is as well as their strengths and vulnerabilities.
-
If my body didn't shine with sunlight... why not? =)
-

Vampires who sparkle and/or shine in sunlight aren't real vampires. They're pixies with a blood fetish.
-
Not even. They're just pixies.
Actually, they give even pixies a bad name.
They are...
Hmmm....
"Twilights".
Thats what they are.

I'm not sure from what lore it comes from but I read about it in a vampire guidebook years ago. It's also on wikipedia. As for the skeleton thing, well I didn't remember that properly. They have no skeleton at all!
-
They have no skeleton at all!
That doesn't make any shred of sense what-so-ever. Whatever 'person' or 'persons' from said era who first wrote about Dhampyres in this manner, obviously had no knowledge about the humanoid body. It is impossible to not have a skeletal system without us looking like a bunch of blobs slinking our way down the streets. :P Dhampyres have to have some sort of bone structure in order to hold the shape of a human and I seriously don't believe it has anything to do with their dark powers either.

Would you like to live for eternity... If it was an eternity of suffering? :-\

according to certain older Vampire lores, yeah, Vampire + Human is pretty impossible, since the resulting offspring had no skeletal structure. they were just a shapeless blob which I dont remember, but i think died pretty quick.

So Alucard is only a shapeless blob, haha? ;D

That's actually a pretty good question that I had to ponder for a minute. Immortality is pretty darn tempting. But um... no, I don't think so. Too many drawbacks. Living a normal life would be out of the question. I would way rather be one of those immortals from Highlander. That would be the bomb!

successor choppin' heads

I'd rather be a demon. They don't have to drink blood and they have really cool powers, plus they're immortal and can't really die, unlike vampires who are doomed if they accidently trip and land on a wooden fence post in a field of garlic stalks during the middle of a sunny afternoon.

LMAO about vampires. But yeah, I'm with you. I guess I'd rather be a demon too. Though I would at least like to look human and have my human emotions.

The succubi have a very human look, I guess to lure their victims to their death by appearing as beautiful human women.
