The Identities within the VC

Vampyre identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses a variety of identities within the vc (vampyre community). Exploring one's vampyre identity is not only a personal and introspective journey but also a long process. This overview aims to shed light on the diverse range of vampyre identities that exist and their unique characteristics. We would like to preface that if you suspect to be a vampyre for any reason you should have a long healthy questioning phase. Take this time to question the reason you believe you are vampyric. If you have questionable physical symptoms we suggest seeing a doctor first to rule out any other possible medical condition. Its also good to note that you can have a medical condition and be vampyric.

When looking into vampyre identities, we need to look at the facts. Labels are simply something we adopt to reflect how people think about others and themselves. It's to give a concept a name so others can remember the information better and seek such information in a much more efficient way. Labels can also be counterproductive when it comes to identity let alone vampiric identity. These labels that Project V has listed are straight to the point but vague enough to cater to your identity. We are not here to create a cookie-cutter standard that you must follow in order to be considered a vampyre. These labels are strictly educational and an identifier that is common within the community.
