Ancient: Vampires

Of course there are vampire there are always vampires   I say we go absolutely classic with the mythology because for one thing it's the easiest thing to build off of with weaknesses and strengths and powers and we can build off from there.    Also I just think garlic is funny. I know it's a purification thing, but also Italian Restaurants are just off limits for them entirely lol. Actually with how Catholic a lot of Italians are that makes a good chunk of restaurants as much a safe place as a church lol   We should have clans because that's fun and each can have different abilities. They can all have their high society nonsense as well because that's just engrained in everything at this point   Different power sets:   Shadow control Weird blood magic Shapeshifting(bat wolf mist etc.) Mind nonsense The usual big strong regenerating stuff   Also was Dracula a thing in our world? Was he big dad vampire or just a strong one?
