[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 4186791, member: 28105"] Seems like quite the opposite, to me. Drindin was listing the worst side of the stereotypes; I'd say not conforming to them is a good thing. ;) Personally, I agree with Drindin's dislikes. The emo-vampire (Lestat-style, negative-stereotype-WoD, Angel type of things) is just generally obnoxious, and the Dracula-knockoff is just an unimaginative cliche. And like anything else in literature or entertainment, rehashed cliches get dull and boring as you become desensitized to them. I'm a big fan of the subtle, cunning, manipulative vampire that plays with the minds of those around them to make them think and expect one thing, while building up to another from a completely different direction. I like the kind that throws people constantly off-guard with clever, well-thought out plans, because let's face it, they've got the time to do so. I like the kind that can reason with and confound their prey before going for the feast, even making the prey willing to give their blood. I even like the bruising, brutal types that aren't afraid to get their hands (or claws, always had a soft-spot for the ol' Gangrel) dirty. That shouldn't be a surprise though, since most who've read my posts know I like my evil insidious. And for what it's worth, I think Jazzmyn is quite well played from my limited interaction with her (and almost as limited OOC knowledge of recent plots). Granted, I've only been exposed to a subtle dose of her, and can't claim to know the whole character, so I could be mistaken. :P [/QUOTE]
