 Buuut...I think that, maybe, [[lb:cod|Vampire: the Requiem]] actually does a better lore-job overall, though there are parts of //Masquerade// that are better. //Requiem// is at least better for mixing and matching.\\ Buuut...I think that, maybe, [[lb:cod|Vampire: the Requiem]] actually does a better lore-job overall, though there are parts of //Masquerade// that are better. //Requiem// is at least better for mixing and matching.\\
 ===== Relations ===== ===== Relations =====
 +
 +==== Succubi ====
 +I stated this on the [[lb:succubus]] article, but I think vampires and succubi overlap quite a bit. There was even a point where, apparently, vampires didn't necessarily have to drink blood...but any fluid that comes out of humans. Which, yes, includes //semen//.\\
 +At this point, any depiction of a ‘sexy vampire’ is basically a kind of succubus as well.
 ==== Zombies ==== ==== Zombies ====
 The relationship between [[playground:zombie|zombies]] and vampires is interesting in that, as far as I'm concerned, they're basically the same...except zombies are the lamer version of the vampire.\\ The relationship between [[playground:zombie|zombies]] and vampires is interesting in that, as far as I'm concerned, they're basically the same...except zombies are the lamer version of the vampire.\\

 Most of humanity chose to become these inhuman monsters, while the rest didn't. The vampires now rule the world as if little has changed. At this point I realized I'm basically writing a review, so let's not get too into it. The point is that vampires are in charge and actively hunting down the rest of humanity.\\ Most of humanity chose to become these inhuman monsters, while the rest didn't.

 Vampire lore here is mostly the same. They feed off of humans, they can turn humans, they burn in the sunlight...but nothing related to silver or garlic. They're also pale and all have yellow/orange eyes.\\ Vampire lore here is mostly the same.

-The film //does// end with a cure for vampirism...but it goes a bit further too, as the vampires also create synthetic blood. For most of the filmsthis is a failure, but they succeed by the end. [[#Underworld]] also features synthetic blood, but it's not a plot point.+The film //does// end with a cure for vampirism...but it goes a bit further too, as the vampires also create synthetic blood.

 +==== Night of the Comet ==== 
 +Yes, seriously.\\ 
 +I realized recently that the main bad guys in this [[tmdbm>18462|film]] are //basically// vampires. For some unknown reason, some of the survivors of the comet which wiped out humanity need to receive the blood of the remaining survivors. Though it's never really made clear //why// and what the difference is.\\ 
 +If they don't, they start looking super pale, kinda gross and their skin sticks to their bones, as if their fat disappears.\\ 
 +Definitely one of the more unusual entries here.
 ==== Underworld ==== ==== Underworld ====
-fist heard of //Underworld// in reference to a lawsuit filed by White Wolf against it. This is because White Wolf felt their copyright was being infringed in regards to the [[lb:wod]]. It was settled out of court, though.\\+first heard of //Underworld// in reference to a lawsuit filed by White Wolf against it.

 //Underworld// and //Masquerade// have very surface-level similarities, but are quite different. First, vampires aren't dead...vampires are living creatures and, specifically, an immortal sub-race of humanity.\\ //Underworld// and //Masquerade// have very surface-level similarities, but are quite different.

 They're immortal, drink blood and can turn others via a bite...and, well, the sun hurts them. They're also directly related to werewolves and exist in a vampire faction, similar to the Camarilla...I guess.\\ They're immortal, drink blood and can turn others via a bite...and, well, the sun hurts them.
