Vampires - Nymphos of the Night

ORIGINS

After Cain killed Abel out of jealousy, he drank his brother's blood and committed the unpardonable sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. He then sold his soul to Lilith, who bit his neck, turning him into the first vampire (God would respond a few millennia later by having Lupa - the wolf goddess who raised Rome's founders, Romulus & Remus - turn Red Riding Hood into the first werewolf).

WHY VAMPIRES DRINK BLOOD

Aside from needing it to survive, drinking human blood allows vampires to see, feel and hear the happiest memories from when they were still human, which is the only way vampires can experience true peace & happiness.

This sense of bliss only lasts a few minutes to an hour at best however, and when it's over, the vampire will have to endure the quick-yet-methodically slow process of having to feel that bliss leave them until they return to their natural state of vampiric dysthymia and all that's left is the memory of the feeling of happiness.

While humans aren't exclusive to their diet as animals such as rats, cats, deer and birds taste just as good and able to provide bliss, human blood is what they're drawn to the most as it's the fulfilling and provides the best escape to temporarily feel what it's like to be fully human again (something which even the most evil of vampires want aside from secretly yearning for ****) and forget for a moment - even a brief one - that they're eternally damned bloodsucking monsters.

WHERE DO VAMPIRES GO AFTER THEY DIE?

Nowhere (they are able to experience true peace & happiness in those few final moments though)

All vampires are evil but not all of them choose to embrace evil, despite knowing & accepting that they're eternally damned, will never be fully capable of being good or in love (no matter how hard they try they will always relapse) and that God is completely blind, deaf and unfeeling to their presence (even in scenes & moments where they're standing next to each other or if Anna is accompanying a team that's fighting a clan of bloodsuckers. One could lunge at her while she's standing completely still, but it would just phase right through her and she wouldn't even know or feel that something just happen and just keep encouraging the team to fight an enemy that from her POV, isn't even there!)
