Heroes in the Dark
To tell the truth I am a bit tired of hearing vampires are "better", "faster", etc.
So I have decided to gather up info on vampire slayers and the enemies of "Evil."
Evil is not an entity you can become. Evil is the action and course you take.
Here is a small brief info on the adversaries of the unnatural:
Batak: The Batak of Java are witch-doctors who hunt the Pontianak, a particular vicious vampire. The Batak can actually reclaim the souls of those lost to vampirism.
Benandanti: Good-natured-werewolves from Italian Legend who enters a dream-state and descend into Hell to do battle with the forces of darkness known as "good-walkers." The Benandanti legend lingers even today.
Dhampyr: The semi-human offspring of a vampier and human parents found throughout the Gypsy culture. The Dhampyr (for female it is referred as Dhampyressa) has a tragically short life span but while at the peak of its strength has vast psychic powers and can detect and destroy vampires.
Djadadjii: A Bulgarian monk who specializes in the fighting vampires that take the form of pernicious poltergeists.
Kishimo-Jin: Japanese Buddhist patron goddess of little children who protects them from evil.
Machi: Wise women from the Mapuche Indian culture of South America who use animal familiars as allies in their ongoing battle against a species of vulture-headed witch-vampires called the Chonchon.
Sabbatarian and the Fetch Dog: A Sabbatarian is a person born on a Saturday who has the power to cure illness as well as detect and defeat supernatural creatures such as vampires. The Sabbatarian is often accompanied by a Fetch Dog, a spirit that acts like a supernatural hunting hound.
Stregoni Benefici: In Italy a vampire who repects of his evil ways and preforms great acts of contrition and is officially forgiven by the church and thereafter becomes a monster-hunting weapon of righteousness.

Most of these are human conceptions of vampire/Otherkin.
For instance, A Dhampyr is not possible. Vampires cannot mate. And also, being a 'half-vampire' is like saying you have a half a soul.

Allow me to explain this first concerning the Dhampyr.
When a Gypsy dies here are certain rituals that must be performed to prevent very bad things from happening - such as the creation of vampires. One such ritual is destroying the possessions of the deceased, which is both a tradition and a law among the Romani. If this is not done, then the dead person will come back to life as a Mullo, a dreadful revenant whose sole aim is to destroy human life.
Many Gypsies are wise enough to take precautions to keep the Mullo from risiing should it come into being such as placing a slivers of steel in he mouth to prevent it from bitting or chewing. driving hawkthorn stakes through the legs (or placing splinters of hawthorn in the socks and shoes), and placing steel over the eyes to blind it. That way, even if the person returns to life as a Mullo it will be unable to rise and hunt for food. Without nourishment it will die.
The Mullo also has a powerful sexual drive and will often seek out women, relying either on seduction or rape to satisfy its urges. If a child results from that unnatural and unsavory union it will be a Dhampyr and will eventually grow up to be a supernatural vampire hunter. There is something about the process of an innocent child being born from such a unholy mating and thus creates a kind of spiritual shield around the newborn. The child cannot become wicked no matter what happens during its lifetime for it will discover its calling and will hunt.
As for the rest is something for everyone to research and discover what lies ahead.

That's still speculation and beliefs made from legend, not actual fact.

Yes, I haven't claimed it fact at all, just info I wanted to share for people to be aware of.
It is pure speculation and beliefs from told tales and legends.
However, I don't discredit the possibilties though.
All opinions and condrations are open.

Thank you,
I would have to choose niether.
There was an existence of nothing before and after.
However, whatever species I was during that life time was to strive for survival.
In other words, It is not the species, but what exactly I do which makes me stand out from all the rest.
