Question 1:
Can vampyrism be suppressed ? To the point that you live as an everyday human? (I can tell you my tale if you care to hear it).
If it can be, what are ways to help bring it back out, especially if you don't know what type of Vampyre you are?
Greetings,
First of all, understand that vampires are everyday humans. We eat, drink, sleep, have families and grow old just like everyone else. What makes us vampires is a physiological condition. Our bodies do not produce enough living energy (called prana or chi) for us to enjoy a normal health life. We are continually fatigued unless we get that energy from other living or natural resources.
You asked, “Can vampirism be suppressed?” and yes, it can. A person can be unaware that they have a physiological energy based condition. Typically people who are unaware that they have vampirism, have been to the doctor multiple times for fatigue, all with no apparent cause. Some are even told they are “low energy” or have a slow metabolic rate. Vampirism is a condition with which someone is born. It cannot be caught (like flu or a cold) nor can vampires be “made” (like you see in the movies).
All vampires need the same thing – living energy. That energy however can come from multiple sources. Vampires tend to describe themselves by their preferred energy source. That source is both a matter of preference and of what best fits the energy needs of the individual at a current point in their life. As for telling what energy type is needed, it is best to sample a variety of energy sources. Most vampires use a mix of several different energies and that mix can change as they grow and age
