Members of the Council of the Vampire Church:

Damien Daville
I am a 50 year old primarily empathic vampire now living in Norfolk, Virginia in the States. I also like elemental sources, and am a sanguine vampire with the right donor. I first learned of my vampirism as a teen in high school around 1970, and have developed its needs and abilities ever since. I have worked in some way helping others understand real vampirism for about thirty years. I came to the internet about 1995 and worked online in the few vamp forums around. I founded the Darkfear Network in early 1997, and then the Vampire Church in 1998. I also founded Web Alliance. In 2001, I founded the Texas Vampire Association, to better bring real vampires together in the state of Texas. Then in 2003, I founded the MidAtlantic Vampire Association to do the same thing in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and in Delaware. I spend most of my time now, working in the offline vampire community and in the public, helping other people to understand real vampirism. The Vampire Church is active both online and offline.

Silver
My name is Silver, I am 37 years old, and reside in the
United Kingdom in Southampton. During my time in this organisation, I
have gone from being a list member, to a member, to a council member.
I am extremely active within this organisation and deem it my heart
and soul. Within the VC my functions are many, going from associate
in charge of applications and interviews, to classes, public
relations, and also a member of the zine staff.. These are my
official duties as a council member..I also run the UK/Europe offline office,
as well as In Medias Res,
which was founded by me for those residing within the UK/Europe. I
feel it isn't so much the VC organization that I am dedicated to, but
more to the people who frequent it and belong to it. If they need my
help, I try to be there for them in any way that I can. Being an
empathic vampire (although I have sanguine tendencies), my main
method of energy gaining is through emotions, although I also psi
feed quite alot. I am more active within the online community as
being a single parent does not allow for an adult social life, but I
do however keep in contact with several here in the UK and US via
phone.

Linda Buie
My name is Linda. I am an empathic/elemental vampire and have known about my vampirism
since the age of 16. I am 28 years old and currently live in central Maryland with my two sons.
Within the Vampire Church, my job as Council member is Newszine Editor.
I gather submissions and put them all to html format for the Zine itself.
It is then posted to the Vampire Church website for the benefit of the community.
Aside from my work with the Vampire Church, I am a volunteer with a wildlife organization in Virginia.
Helping wildlife in any way possible is one of my biggest passions. I also read and write poetry,
paint, and study ancient cultures and religions. I hope that my service within the Vampire Church
will benefit both the vampire and non-vampire communities as a whole.

LA Judge
I am 47 year old VERY Dark Psi / Elemental - Environmental vampire
(Dark meaning negative feeding) residing in Baltimore, MD. While I
can feed via all methods, and am occasionally sanguinary (with the
proper donor), I prefer Psi & Elemental - Environmental energies
because they best fit my energy needs and leave me feeling balanced.
Like many vampires, I too am very empathic. I read as much from
empathic input in my contacts with others as I do by the actual words
they are using. I awakened at age 14 and have been in and out the vampire communities
since that time. I am a HUGE supporter of community and mentoring.
Vampirism is so often a misunderstood condition, even by those
afflicted with it. I strive for my work here with the VC to be open
and honest to those seeking knowledge and to foster better relations
between the various fractions of the REAL vampire communities.

Dunya Hopefulsoul
My name is Dunya Hopefulsoul, I am an elemental empathic Vampire. I'm 36 years old. I have known about my Vampirism for a long while now, and learn more each day. My job as council member of the Vampire Church is the assistant administrator. I handle advice questions along with communications in the community. I live with my boyfriend and my son. I am a stay home mother, and spend a great deal of time with art and writing. I also am an outdoors kind of person. My belief system is pagan. But I tend not to get into that in the VC, but in my personal time. I hope in time that I will have given a lot to the VC. That's my labor of love to provide education and learn for myself.
