Wait, nebra, are you a jedi/dwarf/royal...or are you hiding somthing more from us...
Nebra Reppalk says:
Inbetween: Well, it's a little complicated
Nebra Reppalk is just one of many identities I assume. The Reppalk clan is the clan of clerics/rulers that lead the clans of the Iron Wall. The fact that this king has the name Nebra is a happy coincidence...sort of...I think...
Meanwhile, there are a variety of other things that I do, including being a Jedi. Well, sort of. There is the dark lord "Darth Regens" identity that I assume from time to time, but people who know me say there's no way I could be evil.
Essentially, the individual behind Nebra is behind several other identities as well. I'm a busy man.

Stupid rules.
Feiht is right about the clone thing, though.
Chariset says:
I like how the lighting shows that the door isn't quite closed.
It looks like Ayne might have been / be leaving a trail of blood. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Dark Dragon says:
What about if you're talking about the Star Wars books? The last panel goes on the list of things to be made into posters. :)
LDSKid says:
I take offense at the no missionary bit. We're much better than the other 3 included there. The ranking it should be for badness is salesdwarfs, invading armies, vampires, then missionaries.
Ooh, vampires!
On the answer to: "Can elves be turned into vampires?" question, you will soon find out! (I think.) I'm writing something where this elf lady is captured by vampires and eventually becomes one of them. Willingly.
I like rooting for villains! It's fun!!!!!!
They suck blood.
From living people.
Um, unless you're homicidal, yeah. The only book in which they aren't is the Cirque du Freak books-which were extremely good, but a definite minority.
Osk says:
dark jewels, by anne Bishop, though the vampires are called guardians. The high lord of hell is a guardian there. called Seatan Deamon SaDiablo. nice man actualy. got an anger problem though
Jynx says:
LDSKid: Yo, fellow LDS person. Just remember--though OUR missionaries aren't usually that bad, others can be. After all, there are missionary jokes for a reason :-)
Nebra Reppalk says:
And those of us who aren't big on the whole God thing are a little fearful of missionaries.
Another problem I have to deal with: I think I'm allergic to garlic. Of course, everyone assumes that I'm a vampire because of that, but to be perfectly honest I'd probably be more likely to be a lycanthrope.
Morg-Fire says:
missionary jokes lol. doesn't matter what religion your from.. they are all hilarious
Dark Dragon says:
Nebra, why do you think you might really be a lichen? (Please don't throw anything sharp at me!) Besides, all fantasy-type humanoids are nifty!
Oh, and the Twilight-New Moon-Eclipse vampire series has a family of good vampires, although the overall majority are bad.
But for anyone who asks, I prefer lycanthropes (whee! it's fun to use big words!) over vampires.
Nebra Reppalk says:
Dark Dragon: Well, it's more on a personal level. I just feel more like I lycanthrope than a vampire. I just feel like I'd be more likely to be someone that can turn into a bear or something than a bloodsucker.
Narian Goldword: In Sapkowski's Saga, vampires don't need to suck blood. In Pratchett's Discworld, vampires don't need to suck blood. In Rice's Interview with the Vampire, vampires don't need to suck human blood. In Blade, there is a chemical which can allow vampires to not need blood. And so on and so on ... also, there are vampires who only suck villians (like gangsters), so they can be the good ones too ...
Also, there is another posibility besides beeing homicidal to not care about vampires killing peoples: not be human :-)
Also, even vampires which must drink human blood don't need to kill anyone. There are blood banks, for example.
Nebra Reppalk says:
Like Alucard from Hellsing who drinks medical blood.
Well, maybe he's a bad example considering he goes psycho later on...
Jynx says:
There are tons of vampires that don't go along with the hyped-up Hollywood version. After all, the whole sun-burns-us! thing can be traced back to a German movie made in the beginning of the century. (I forgot the title, if anyone really cares I can look it up). However, the more traditional vampires have always been rather...moral-less? What's the word?
Jynx says:
...And sorry to get all Biology on you people, but I'm not sure normal human-blood drinking vampires would be able to suck animal blood. Animal blood is different from human blood, and so I think that you'd have to stick with one or the other, ne?
Nebra: "later on" ? Alucard is under some sort of spell ("control art restriction system", controlled by Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing). I think the "psycho" is his normal behaviour, but the spell is keeping him more "normal".
Jynx: the film was "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" (1922). And humans are just one of animals, from biological point of view - I never heard of any special difference between human and for example chimpanzee blood (of course, it would not be compatible group for transfusions, but I never saw vampire doing this sort of test :-)).
Nebra Reppalk says:
hkmaly: I'm referring to how in the first volume he seems relatively sane, whereas by the third volume he's gone on at least two berserker rampages.
hkmaly: Really? Ooh! But I still prefer werewolves... just 'cause I can. I'm weird like that. (whee!)
Also, in Discworld, vampires can quit blood, true-but they have to replace it with some other obsession or addiction. Two examples are coffee and photography.
Okay, so those aren't too destructive. Except coffee. And sugar! Sugar sugar sugar sugar! Yaay!
Chariset says:
What I love about Feiht is that even when she's talking nonsense, it sorta does make sense from a warped, off-center pixie point of view
Dark Dragon says:
Wait...so there could be a vampire addicted to caffiene???? SIGN ME UP PLEASE!
hkmaly: yep! I think Discworld exists mainly for the purpose of making fun of people, so pretty much anything can be added, in Ankh-Morpork or Lancre or whatever. YAAAY! LANCRE!!!
Dark Dragon: Yep!!! Which means they're relatively normal until they run out of coffee, at which point they have hallucinations and begin to crave blood again. However, the thing about Discworldian vampires is that they project their hallucinations on others, which can lead an entire town to believe that Bob is stalking them. (Not a real example, but close to what happened in Monstrous Regiment.
Osk says:
yup
"charly is tracking us"
who is charly?
üh, i dont know"
and yes, discworld only exists to poke fun at what we think of as the real world
Still, discworld is making much more sense that many books which are supposed to be serious.
