Severus: Any REAL vampyre may come out just far enough to tell you who they are and may even what that belief is... but showing someone else "the what, how, and why" of true vampirism is in an open forum of any kind especially for scientific testing is never going to happen.
If I understood you correctly, it seems you are saying that real vampires have nothing more to show for their claims than... talk. If so, how could anyone possibly tell the difference between a real vampire and any run-of-the-mill con artist masquerading as such?
Either actions do indeed speak louder than words and talk truly is cheap... or else everything spoken and claimed and believed is to be regarded as "REAL" and accepted without question. And I hope that is not what you are arguing. I know that I, for one at least, could never accept such a view. To do so would, frankly, leave me at the mercy of any charlatan out there capable of using words alone to create or use belief in convincing others thereby.
As Dr. Carl Sagan stated so eloquently and correctly: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." And evidence, true empirical evidence, requires scientific testing.
As for why a "true vampire" might seek scientific testing... I could provide you several good reasons, none of which have Thing One to do with convincing the Public at large or to reveal himself to the world as such. However, I shall limit the following to those reasons I know best.
Reason One: When history is studied, it becomes glaringly apparent that while originally highly esteemed and even "worshipped" (Russian Primary Chronicle, pre-10th Century CE) for centuries if not millennia, yet by at least the beginning of the 18th Century, Vampires became victims of a deliberate, well-funded and widespread campaign of vilification as blood-drinking revenants. Despite this, slaughters of entire families and even villages are reported throughout Central and Eastern Europe (obviously, these villages filled with hardworking families were not revenants risen from the grave). From that time forward, those called "vampires" (for whatever actual traits they possessed that were twisted and perverted into the lies told about them as blood-drinking ghouls) were hunted down and slaughtered as many as could be found.
Thus... by Today's time, most if not all of the Bloodline who survived have been scattered across the world and, thus, likely not to know who they are after so many generations. And therefore, it is highly likely that those who are real Vampires among us (raised outside any community of their own kind... the former knowledge of who they are lost to time, yet their characteristic Uniqueness, their insatiable "hunger" raging within constantly, the satiation of such beyond their ability for the more they truly "feed," the hungrier they are for more), such would eventually be desperate to understand themselves so as to come to terms with themselves and with the ... less "hungry"... society around them.
Reason Two: After first studying as much as possible the previous research on the peripheries of the subject at hand and discoverying that not only is there no previous mention of any such "hunger" ever documented before but that, in fact, the very idea of such "hunger" has been scientifically deemed "physiologically impossible," the Subject in question seeks answers through direct contact with tthe scientific community. For his efforts, he finds himself met with derision and scorn by the highly degreed "professionals" in this field of scientific study and then branded a "braggart and a liar" for daring to ask questions and seek answers. Thus, this impels him to defend his reputation and his truthfulness through unimpeachable scientific documentation of his "physiologically impossible" ... "hunger."
Reason Three: It is his hope that, once actually validated through scientific study, this capacity, this "hunger," might no longer be considered Humanly impossible. That with that realization (just as with the realization in 1947 that the "Sound Barrier" was also not impossible to break and that has revolutionized our world), further research might ultimately make such possible for all so that all might benefit from the equally unlimited capacities such opens up emotionally and spiritually within.
I could bore you with many additional reasons why a real "vampire" might seek scientific documentation, such as to effectively "declaw" the outrageous lies and vilifications told about this Angelic Bloodline for now millennia and so as to additionally perhaps reveal the Ancient Brotherhood behind these lies to the world through such scientific revelations regarding the truth of the real "Dark Gift" and why this Brotherhood has been so scared to death by this wonderful Boon to Humankind, and to reveal to all what their true motives have always been.
However, the most important statement I will make here is simply this:
First and foremost: Only a "REAL Vampyre" knows his motivations, not you or anyone else. Only a real Vampire knows himself, the society in which he lives, the forces out there rallied and watching against him, and the outcome for him if he cannot find a way to relate to both of the latter.
However, if a real Vampire were to choose to openly reveal himself it would not be for vainglory, not for public adulation or media attention, not for money, not for fame nor even to help him further express his Dark Git with others; it would instead be out of deep necessity and for the benefit of the Bloodline, as a whole, and/or for the World and Humankind, at large.
