You’d be surprised how often I get asked this question*. And it’s a hard question to answer, because the choice to become a Vampire is so personal, and irreversible.
You can ask a Vampire how they like being a vampire (which can be a dangerous process) and perhaps even shadow one (no pun intended, but not edited out) but there’s a lot that, as a mortal person, you just can’t partake in fully. You can hang out with a Vampire at night, see if you like the hours and such, but your brain will be on human hours...you’ll get sleepy the later is gets and don’t fear the coming sunset as your vampire companion would.
You can try to drink blood (or maybe you like blood already, which is why you’re thinking of the transition) but you’ll be tasting with a human mouth. Vampires stay out at night and drink blood because that’s what they have to do. It’s what they’re all about.
There’s no half-measures when it comes to becoming a vampire. You can only be a half-vampire if your mom and dad are a mixed-mortality couple. If you think immortal life is for you, it’s one of your best options. Becoming a Lich requires a lot more training, and Zombies and Draugrs get a bit messy and don’t seem as together, stylish and cool as Vampires.
But is it really immortality you’re after? If it’s flight or shapeshifting you’re after, there are plenty of other options, including jetpacks and lycanthropy (werewolves).
Many Whys and Many Hows
I think it’s good to go wide, and ask what other ways are there to achieve a transformation. Deciding WHY you want to transform is absolutely imperative. Asking why five times never hurt anyone.
Using abstraction laddering can help you ask why and to think through the hows that could make it possible. The video below is very silly, but it’s worth actually trying this process for whatever transformation you might be considering.
