The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I know there are many theories as to what causes vampirism and lycanthropy today, but could it just be a race memory? Could the vampires and werewolves of yesteryear have descendants? Just a thought to ponder...

very possible its in a bloodline so if a vamp or other kin was to reproduce it would follow through the blood

Very good question Carnal. It could be a yes, it could be no.
It all depends on whether you believe in them or not.
I think it is possible, but it might not be likely.
I think as other kin/creatures of the night, we have evoled into what we are now. As times changed, our way of living changed.
I do like the question, it makes you have to stop and think

I have to agree with the comments above, what we are now is conditioned by what we live threw, lets face it 25yrs ago, we where happy with t bats and a square ball going across the screen. Now we are in Virtual Reality.

As for kin or non kin or evolution, they yes the answer is two fold, we are not what our parents were just as our children will not be as we are.

Every generation changes to suit the conditions of the past and present. yes bloodlines must run threw just as genetics runs through. like heart disease or other weakness and morbidities.

But a fantastic question liked it.....

Well sure, if there were sucha thing, of course they would have descendance, if only watery one, but still a one.

What about other Were cratures?? Like Werebear, or Werefox, or a Wererat??

Any thoughts on these to ponder??




They are all the same, all Werecreatures, still everybody just mentiones a Werewolf?? Why?

werewolf is the most known were out there, so it is the one most spoken of.
Just like there being nagas

I do believe like all others, they do have decendants. why could they not bear heirs to the throne to say. why must it be just like hollywood says a bite that creates the.

Ave to all,

Here is a thought to ponder...

Back when I was a child, the Grandmother put me aside and started a conversation out of nowhere. The conversation was about our descendence and bloodlines. She was discussing the histories the family had with the Salem witches, the German Nosferatu, and the Louisiana Loupe Garou. She told me my fathers side was descended from Germany and the mothers side was descended from witches. I have no idea why she brought up a conversation like that when I was not even 9 years old. I confronted her about it when I was 17 and she asked me if I were...How did she put it...Plagued by shadowy dreams of the shadow people. I have to admit, I saw human shadows in my room on most nights, but thought nothing of it. She explained to me, that those shadows were the presence of the watchers.

I now know what the term watcher means, but the point I am trying to make here is...Yes there are descendence of age old myth and or legend, some families have them, some do not.

My advise to all is to have a discussion with a family member whom seems a bit out of place, who keeps to themselves...Bring up the subject subtly. Ask if your ancestors ever acknowledged the presence of any non human related individuals. Makes for good conversation if I do say so myself.

With regards

i dont know about being born anything i feel we all come in to our self when we have to and that maybe some things are passed donw the bloodlines and some things are not

im sure there are descendants but we also view vampires different today

I have always believed this to be a possibility, given natures drive to reproduce. Everything on this earth is driven by the need to reproduce so I believe it is also possible for it to be this way with otherkin of any kinds.

I p[ersonally believe that the answer is no; but then again, I believe that "vampirism" is a state of mind, not an actual species. So probably not the best candidate to answer your question. However I would like to add that we tend to mystify the past, and that this process has been going on for centuries- maybe the past isn't as mysterious as we think it is, and that all the myths, rumour and legend was due to a state of mind, and a fear of the unknown, rather than something concrete,

well it could be a bit of both....who honestly knows....you may have it in your blood line...or it may just be a way you look at life...it's all how each person feels about it

Maybe more of an evolution

as for my kind ie vampiers i say yes we phisicly map your familey then a spiitual mapping is done to see if you are who you say you are

Its in the bloodline. So I dont see why not..

I think they do have decendants but everything evolves with time so there probably similarities and differences between the vampires of yesterday and today.

The possibilities are endless on this question...no body knows for sure not even the scientists..I dont even think a true vampire or Lycan would not even have a deffinit answer to this question!! This question will ponder man kind and immortals forever!!

Everything can be found in the collective unconscious of man.

Descendants....sure why not, and aware of their lineage but not too crazy about humans finding out. As I said in another post, as a sub genre of human with ancient capabilities, it would be best to stay clear of humankind and just live among your own. The shapeshifters are in almost every ancient writing and if can subscribe to the belief and understanding that, even if all ancient civilizations DID have contact with each other ie: Pyramids on every continent, then the possibilities of their existence can not be ruled out, but must be accepted.

i believe yes, but these vamps and lycans, would be evolved and would have adapted for this time and age.

The question tends to stem from the ideas as to wether the dead could have children. This is from a more mythic and historical point of view. Vampires of Myth and Legend are undead cursed with a hunger for blood. Could the undead still bear children? And if so. Does that change what the child is. Would it be considered "Half undead"? Would it be Stronger or Weaker than it's progenatores.

With the case of "Werewolves" the matter changes. It would seem easier for such a creature to pass on its genetic uniquness to its offspring. But again would the traits be watered down unless both parents carried the same origins?

And then the other Question asked. What about other "Were's"? Would two different "Were's" Create a unqiue offspring? A mix of both animals. A Mutt? If you will. How much of the human base would be left? And how strong would the supernatural bloodline stem?

All very pondering questions raised.

An answer to this question, depends on whether or not one believes that these mystical creatures of the night even exist. If you believe they exist, then yes there could be a possibility that the trait could be passed down throught the generations. If you don't believe, then it is highly unlikely that the trait exists.

I don't necessarily believe in the real were wolves and vampires (like the immortal ones from the movies) but if all of them really existed some time in the past and they reproduced then I would guess that there descendants walk among us today.

If I were to believe in vampires or werewolves, then I would most definitely think it could be a genetic thing. Some people have the belief that there are born vampires and then there are made vampires. I think that's interesting. It makes for a great storyline. :)

does it really matter...

why link the two together?

I don't think it's inherited

why not be genetic. Hemophiliacs can be traced back to pre egyptians

If their was such a race i am sure it would be passed down the Blood lines like a virus....

but then again, I have always thought that the were wolves and vampires were made by being turned by a person that is already one of these things, and they couldn't reproduce in that way, or if they could then there child would be in no danger of being what ever one the parents were.

I think their would have to be

i dunno.. i am a vamp and so is my mom and dad

I think it is passed down

perhaps it is a question with no answer...it could very well be a number of things,whats to say its not any of whats being mentioned in here...sure does make u think

like many things each has a past, for life as we know it, yes why could there not be bloodlines that tie vampires and lycanthropes todays humans. evalution states that their will always be one and it shall not hender in its course to breed. yes i believe

are you people for real, or this some cosmic joke that the gods are playing me...

Vampire, if they do exist according to myth can not reproduct in the classic sence...

start studying before you make a fool of yourself by posting foolishness...333

Considering that the biologists and chemist have admitted that there are unidentifiable genes within all of us yes its is possible. As to the Hollywood thing well that I do not think is true.

once I was tol dnothign is created and nothing is lost, so if the vampires of the past existed then they still do today.

it is very possible but a someone that is very interested in lycanthrophy. i am interested in looking at all the different views. not just a dirrect line

Morlock333~

You have a good point if a vampire can not reproduce then their are no decendants to carry anything on...

i think that it depends on your own beliefs .

Hmm, it's a good thought, I don't personally know, but I can see how that would be possible. I don't think there's a way to ever know definitely...The closest you can get to knowing about this kinda stuff is gut feeling which is incredibly indefinite...But I can see how that would be.

yes very much so...I think that the decendent factor has a big part to play in the modern vampirism and lyconthropy race....generation after generations and I dont think it will ever die out!!

A very ponderous question. I think that there is a link in some shape or form that binds vampires and other-kin of today with those of generations past. It could even be that our dremas are memories of their past. That is another ponderous question as well. Carpe Noctem

I sure there are people who are living the vampire or werewolf lifestyle that had ancestors who did the same.

Jane Auel wrote at length about genetic memory in Clan of the Cave Bear series.

I dont think there is an active genetic link but it could be that there are genetic conditions which make one predisposed to being a vampire

well we all have to come from somewhere
