[QUOTE="Darth Shoju, post: 881701, member: 11397"] [b]vampire[/b] I'm assuming you have the vampire living in a castle or large manor? Just a thought but perhaps the vampire could inhabit a location he wouldn't have in life. Maybe his lair is more of a place of convenience, or whatever he could find on short notice. Perhaps he just doesn't have access to a castle/manor. Just some ideas, but maybe an abandoned temple/abbey off in some semi-remote location, with a small population nearby that is also fairly remote from the rest of the countryside (so word of his activities doesn't get back to some vampire hunters or something). Or perhaps he's in a system of caves, inhabited by other creatures that he controls or has a deal with. How about he lives underwater, in a sunken ship or some such thing? (undead don't need to breath, right? ;) ). Basically, any abandoned building in a remote location would work. You could even put him in a city, have him be rather brazen and just use his vampire powers to conceal his presence (sort of like Bram Stoker's [I]Dracula[/I]...not exactly but that general idea). A powerful vampire in a city can cause all sorts of trouble. :D You could even have a traveling caravan of vampires. They could be traveling entertainers or a carnival of some sorts (or even gypsies of sorts). They could stop in an area, subtly take a few victims and then move on, maybe even using their supernatural powers to make the dissappearances look like the work of something else (wolves perhaps). Anyway, just a bunch of thoughts. I guess I kinda wandered from your original post topic but I just thought I'd brainstorm with ya. :) [/QUOTE]
