OK, so you became one and there’s no turning back. The good news is that you’ll exist forever (unless someone stakes you, shoots you with wooden bullets, or drags you out in the sun while you’re asleep).
You should never come out of your coffin during daytime, and you should also generally avoid the sun and anything related to it (and this includes solariums too). If you go out in the sun, you’ll begin to burn away in a very tormenting manner. The only way to endure exposure to sunlight is to consume faerie blood (which is not easy to come by).
Avoid wearing or even coming into contact with anything made of silver, since it burns like hell and induces great pain, resembling a heart attack – thankfully of the kind you can survive.
Stay away from Necromancers! You are now dead, and so these guys can literally twist you around their little finger.
Amazing! You’ll never get sick again. You don’t breathe, and so you can’t drown in the sea, in a lake or in a pool! You shouldn’t worry about accidents either, even when a heavy truck crushes your face, because as a vampire you have self-healing capabilities, which means that your wounds will heal before you can say Jack Robinson. Also, and this goes only for girls, you’re in for a bad time if you were a virgin when you were turned a vampire. Because of self-healing, the hymen will grow back after each time you have sex, forever.
You can no say goodbye to botox and dieting! Your body will stay the same, no matter how many centuries pass, which means that if you were turned a vampire when you were nine you’re also in for a bad time. If you enter into a relationship with a human, you must be mentally prepared for significant changes in your relationship in the years ahead. Your better half will start aging at some point, whereas you will never age, and he/she will eventually pass away. You can always bite him/her in good time, and live happily ever after (literally).
You are now supernatural beings, you can run faster than light, and you have the muscle of Superman. As time goes by, you will become even faster and stronger. It has been noted that thousand-year-old vampires can, most of the time, still fly.
Your blood is now valuable. It has tremendous healing capacities (it can even wake the dead, so to speak), as well as various side-effects, it is sold illegally to addicted users (the V-addicts) that would kill for their fix, and forges bonds between you and those who have tasted it that can only be explained by metaphysics.
Bite carefully, because, aside from being illegal, if you don’t control how you bite, you run the risk of killing your victim.
Socially speaking, you are a minority. Be prepared for encountering a great deal of racist behavior. And this isn’t as outrageous as it seems, come to think of it, since your species used to uncontrollably kill and eat people until very recently. But the tables are now turned, technology has advanced! Tru Blood, a Japan-made synthetic bottled blood that comes in all types, in now sold in convenience stores and bars, and so there’s no need to break the law because you are hungry or thirsty. You should also bear in mind that the sentence administered by those higher up (also known as the Authority) for eating a human is certain death (True Death) – that is, non-negotiable staking. You also have the option of opposing the Authority and joining the Sanguinista Movement. The Sanguinistas are a faction of seditious vampires who believe in vampire world domination, refusing the notion that vampires should coexist peacefully with humans and upholding a literal interpretation of the Vampire Bible (a.k.a. the Original Testament), which states that humans are nothing more than food or nourishment for vampires – in other words, they are a bunch of die-hard fundamentalists. You should better avoid getting involved in the political/religious scene because you won’t be able to make heads or tails of it and you’ll also risk your skin in the process (in any case).
Welcome aboard!
