Ever thought about using your vampire as an Avatar
with channeling acolytes? 

Vampires are awkward multicultural myths. Every
culture has some sort of vampire critter that lives
off the blood of the living - stealing the very life
of the living - and subsisting off that, living ever
after.

Vampirism, in my typical games, is purely a
descriptor. A magus that sucks up some victim's
"etheric body" or soul by enacting a terrible blood
sacrifice is pretty much a vampire. Any person or
thing that gains supernatural power out of harming
another - or magic parasitism - is a vampire.

Like I see the alien behind John Carpenter's The Thing
as a vampire.

Cheers,

Chris.
