Real or modern vampyres are indeed human, they are often split into two types which are Sanguine (sang.) & Psychic (psi.) and it is not uncommon for a person to have traits of both types.
Both require energy to stabilize some part of their mind, body or some may even claim soul, it is not a do or die scenario but rather it is often like having an addiction. It is known that when they do not feed the experience symptoms of feeling weak, headaches, loss of train of thought, depression/sadness, easily aggravated but not limited to these things.
The energy these people take in can help them feel more "alive," for a limited amount of time, it can even inspire them, cause them to focus on what is important in their life because they have filled the hunger momentarily and it is a unique experience that can make every last nerve on their body tingle. Again, they are not limited to these things and often there are more results from the energy they receive, everyone is different.
People are born this way and often realize they are of this nature by their awakening which can be just a time thing or it can be invoked by a new or dramatic emotional or traumatic event. You can not become one by drinking the blood of a vampyre as numerous fictional works have made up. But one could theologize that taking in the essence of life from a vampyre would hold a specific energy that is not quite as the norm' and that it might invoke the awakening in another person.. but that would be on the basis that the person taking the source in could already be a vampyre and the blood was merely waking them up.. or maybe at best it could help a regular person feel something similar to what the vampyre feels since there is a energy exchange. This is a personal & loose theory though.
Others with vampyric tendencies or intrigues can often be people who have convinced themselves they are real vampyres, some may merely have a blood fetish or enjoy role playing and such people are very welcomed to frolic in the culture so long as they do not misportray vampyres to others whom are less familiar with this subject of modern vampirism. In sum, vampirism is indeed a condition that can affect each person in it's own way but yet share a certain basis (energy,) and one way or another our bodies are our hosts and are not immortal no matter what we wish to believe. There is only one possible theory I can pose to suggest anything in relation to immortality and such a subject is another personal view and not something that is necessarily bound to this culture but some believe their souls are that of vampyres from the past (be it one year, ten years or a thousand years,) and that they have carried on through the times by reincarnation. Such a theory is not that ridiculous if you believe in a variant of religions or spiritualities.
