How many ways to become a vampire?

[WayneLigon]

OK, we have what their powers and weaknesses are.. how many different ways are there to BECOME a vampire?

Some to start off with:

The Big One: be killed by a vampire
The Big Alternate: be drained by a vampire until almost dead, then forced to drink it's blood.

Some other weird ones:

Die without benefit of baptism or outside the succor of the church
Die in childbirth
Have an unblessed animal walk over your grave

 

[demiurge1138]

Commit suicide.
Be buried in unhallowed ground.
Familial curses.

 

[Mordane76]

Being buried face-up
Mother stared at by a vampire while she was pregnant
Being born the seventh son of a seventh son
Performing a mass while in a state of mortal sin (priests)
Mother not eating enough salt while she was pregnant
Improper burial rites (depending on culture)

These are just some of the really off-the-wall ones...

 

[Lurks-no-More]

If a cat jumps over an unburied body, it becomes a vampire.
If the body (even in a coffin) is left into a place where there's a mirror, it becomes a vampire.
If the new/full moon (take your pick) is allowed to shine into the face of a dead body, it becomes a vampire.

Lots and lots of vampires...

Most embarrassing way to become a vampire

LARP for 36 hours straight while hyped to the eyeballs on narcotics, get constipated as a result, go the toilet, and suffer a heart seizure while trying to take a dump. For best results, the Camarilla should be involved.

I thought that was an isolated incident.., good thing I quit.
The Cam that is.
