Category:Vampires

The following is a list of items pertaining to Altered who became so due to either a Marlquaan bond, being a Phexo, being Xomified, or being bonded to the EccentriaCore, in such a way that they imitate certain properties commonly associated with vampires and vampire tropes.

Examples of valid vampires

 * Before its cancellation, Stationery Voyagers featured the race known as Mosquatlons, which were similar to typical American pop culture vampires.
 * They were a parody of Underworld vampires, but with a mosquito rather than bat base.
 * They have retractable tubes hiding in the roofs of their mouths that act like mosquito probosces, rather than having proper fangs.


 * Not all vampire features and tropes are necessary to put someone on the list.
 * Energy vampires count. Blood drinkers are not a strict requirement for this list.


 * Some "vampires," like Don the Psycho and Wayne the Vampire, derive more energy from leeching off sexual trauma than they do from drinking blood, making them more like an incubus than a true vampire. This is also why they don't always drink blood from their rape victims; but why they are both serial rapists.


 * Even EccentriaCore-induced vampires are more about the weird abilities and solar intolerance, than they are about their craving for blood. Otherwise, they are the most typical vampire type, second only to Mosquatlons.  In spite this, their fangs are not all that impressive, nor resembling of how vampire fangs are expected to look.  Other than slowly smouldering rather than sparkling in UV light, like Underworld vampires, EccentriaCore vampires otherwise have more in common with Twilight vampires.

Emotion Batteries
Emotion Batteries and Psychic Vampires are considered separate beings, and so Emotion Batteries are treated as a separate category of entity.

Emotion Batteries don't drain energy from their victims; they merely induce the spirit aura emitted from their victims into a Marlquaan bond battery "charge" similar to the storage of an electrical charge, and then use reality warping to "discharge." It is the psychic energy equivalent of using electrical induction to charge an electric toothbrush.

Using this reality warping to imitate the appearance of a dark supernatural entity, as Extirpon often did in his early career, still does not constitute true psychic vampirism. His victims lost no energy from his charging antics, and only lost energy by draining themselves. His attacks on them later were usually physical, not mental, and he utilized reality warping to act like a highly-stylized serial killer, not a true vampire. When he did attack their minds, such as trapping them in nightmares; any psychic drain was self-induced, via manipulation from the visions he instilled his victims. His goal may be to crush haughty attitudes in his enemies, but this is more through merciless destruction of the pretenses of these attitudes, rather than "bleeding the soul dry" directly.

Even then, not all Emotion Batteries were as generic, nor charged off of pride induction preferably, as did / does Extirpon or Extirwraith.
 * Nor do they all assume the same monster forms, as can be evidenced by how Eric's Extirpon and Eddie's Extirpon monster modes look different.
 * Extirwraith's form resembles more an onryo than a purple-molten-lava-cracked rock monster.
 * Dollschief charges off anger in her victims, mostly in the form of irritation, and assumes a form of a giant, animate, giggling creepy doll.
 * Cocklebur charges off fear, anger, annoyance, and empathy, and assumes a form like a giant human bur.
 * Nematode charges off wrath and exasperation, and assumes a form like a wicked witch archetype.
 * Spoliat charges off of loneliness and aimlessness, and becomes a red-skinned version of himself with glowing eyes and nigh-impenetrable skin.

Turkeybreath Skyline pseudo-Altered
Ralph Beoden is not a true vampire. He merely suffers from heliophobic dermatitic urticaria. He may like his steaks rare, but that's as close to being a true blood sucker as he gets. However, he plays up his condition and label as a "vampire" to fulfill the role for being "the vampire" in the ensemble that makes up Turkeybreath Skyline.

His bandmate Tyrel Mace, who has a different skin condition and needs to be bandaged a lot, similarly plays this up on stage, and becomes "the mummy" in the group. The very thick-haired Harry Mensuto, who has long hair and a very hairy body, plays up his hairiness to be declared "the werewolf," in spite not being an actual wolfman. The only authentically Altered being in the band is Marina, who is a dormant Centhuen Prototype.

Miscellaneous

 * This category doesn't include occultist vampire wannabes, such as spirit drinkers, nor goth culture vampire fetishists.
