Inside the human blood-drinking, 'real vampire' community of New Orleans
28 Oct, 2015
John Edgar Browning met his first "real vampire" in a Gothic apparel store.
A doctoral candidate at Louisiana State University at the time, Browning had already been on the hunt for several months. He was talking to the store owner of Wicked Orleans, a Gothic-style clothing and leather shop in New Orleans's French Quarter, when a middle-aged woman and two teenage boys walked through the door.

Trigger Warning: This piece contains themes such as self-harm and suicide.
I recently wrote about the lessons I would teach myself as a young sanguivore. After writing that, I wanted to delve a little into what I experienced growing up and sharing my personal story. I felt this would be better served as its own article.

I’m writing this article to answer some of the basic questions sanguinarians get on a regular basis. I do this in the hopes that it will answer questions that some may have about us, but have been uncomfortable in asking or haven’t had the opportunity to ask; also to dispel some of the myths surrounding us.

​The question many people ask is how one becomes a donor to a vampire, and what risk does it entail. Keeping my perspective in the interest of safety to others it is important to mention that this does depend on the method of which you are donating.
Sanguinarian Born and Sired Study
Unknown
I found this study very interesting. Now in my mind, myths don't come from nowhere. Now, I will say I am against the belief that a human being can be subjected to an act that would physically change their bodily functions to make them become a Vampire and start requiring large amounts of blood to survive, however this subject has been an interesting one raised many times, and whereas the currently accepted theory is that Sanguinarians are only born into being Sanguinarian, this didn't quite sit with me.

Someone in the vampire life style who has a physical thirst, need, craving for blood (which is non-erotic in nature) in more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other blood-drinkers.
Dr. Tomas Ganz, a Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Pathology at UCLA, discusses blood-drinking with an actual sanguinarian.

Safe Blood Feeding
So you Sangs don't give us all AIDS!
Safe Blood Feeding
The most important thing about being a Sanguinarian is the fact that you must have blood. You probably don't need it to survive, per se, as you're a Human Living Vampire, but it gives you the energy or high that you need to fulfill yourself.
Psi vs. Sang
Psychic vampires and Sanguinarians are known by many to have a strained relationship. Many, not all, but many Sanguinarians feel that they are much more, prestigious if you will, because they are born into their vampirism rather than “awakened” into it like a psi.

This is the first article I have written from scratch on Wikipedia, so be sure to leave feedback if you change anything. I intend to add source information when I have more time, until then it shall remain somewhat lacking (I am aware this is the case) and I would hope that others will fill in the gaps. I expect many Sanguinarians will be annoyed that I've posted this here, since it violates The Black Veil so blatantly, but we shall see. I have also left out some internal links, since I do not currently have the time to write articles about them
