I'm Obsessed...
You know, I once had this idea for a campaign, or rather, a character I wanted to play.
He was this Vampire, right, from White Wolf's Vampire:The Masquerade (Preferably, I think, a Gangrel, but it really works for any clan, save maybe Nosferatu or Tzimisce). Anyways, to put it simply, in his mortal life he falls for this girl (or guy, for you Anne Rice fans). Presumably, the subject also falls for said character, but also predictably, the subject is also a Vampire.
Now then, for whatever reasons Vampires do this (twisted ideals of 'preserving beauty', sepparation anxiety that always comes with loving a mortal, idea that 'maybe this one will be different', maybe to save his life), the Subject makes the Character a Vampire - Embraces him, if you will.
Understandably, the Character doesn't take this very well. I mean, the whole existing in perpetual night, never again being able to see the sunrise (or rather, only one more time...), living of the blood of the living, and generally becomming a monster. How ever, just as he hates his Sire for what's been done, there's still that vein of affection, ands a main conflict may well be that he wants to destroy her (or him) but in the end can't bring himself to deliver the final blow (maybe turning against fellows when they try to destroy the creature?), along with the typical 'I'm a monster, I don't desrve to exist, dam me for my infernal hunger' bit.
There is a point to all this. See, I was listening to, appropriotly enough, "Love Song For A Vampire", and in at least a few ways it fits the whole scenario.
And that's what sparked all this.
And this is the end.
