They can't both be vampires, can they?

(Max Schreck in Nosferatu)

In the process of researching folklore about death, I got a bit sidetracked by vampires.  They occupy a strange place in fiction, gaining and losing characteristics from one adaptation to another.  Nosferatu (1922) and Interview with the Vampire (1994) are both movies about vampires, but their monsters have hardly anything in common.

In RPGs, I like introducing creatures without naming them, showing signs of their activity and letting the players try to figure out what they're dealing with.  Sometimes the creature is something new that they've never heard of.  Sometimes they're already familiar with it.

So imagine if you ran across a creature that:

• is a person who died, returning to their coffin periodically to sleep
• is repelled by garlic
• does not have a reflection or cast a shadow 
• has powers of mind control 
• can fly, but cannot cross running water
• can make others into the same type of creature by biting them
• can be killed only by decapitation

You'd probably call that a vampire, right?  It certainly feels like one, though it doesn't drink blood and can act in daylight.

Let's say you and your fellow protagonists dispatch a few of these "vampires" and move on.  Then a year or two later, you run into one of these:

• a beautiful or charming person who only comes out at night
• has fangs, biting people to drink their blood
• is harmed by sunlight
• can be killed by fire or a wooden stake through the heart
• can climb on walls and ceilings
• is repelled by crucifixes
• cannot enter a house without being invited

That's...obviously a vampire too, right?  Except it isn't even undead.

For a vampire species of your own, pick ten features from the list below.  If you'd prefer random results, roll a d6 and a d4 to choose, rerolling any results you've already gotten:

d6	d4	feature
1	1	has no reflection/shadow
	2	sleeps in a coffin with soil from their home / burial place
	3	turns to dust when killed
	4	cannot enter a house without being invited
2	1	is beautiful/charming
	2	can fly/hover
	3	is dead, but their bodies do not decay
	4	repelled by garlic
3	1	bites people and drinks their blood
	2	cannot cross running water
	3	can turn into a bat
	4	has superhuman senses
4	1	can make others into the same kind of creature by biting them
	2	fangs or long teeth
	3	feels compelled to count things like fallen grains
	4	can be killed by a wooden stake through the heart
5	1	is harmed by sunlight

So what's your kind of vampire like?
