Yes, and a male human can impregnate a female vampire.

So, in summary, the process of vampirism makes vampires incompatible with each other in terms of pregnancy and breeding but not with humans.

Exactly.

Since it came up in the cbox ... my thoughts are that a half-vampire could not breed with a vampire, could breed with a human (leading to a quarter-vampire that showed even less vampiric traits), and that it would be possible for two half-vampires to breed (resulting in a half-vampire) but it would be very difficult.

IT all depends on how the vampirism works. If it is similar to an STD(like how JK compared lycanthrope to HIV) then it is safe to assume that vampirism works on the same basis. Going with my HIV/AIDS theory, one could think that instead of destroying T-cells, it creates the vampire cells(here on out called V-cells). V-cells would be highly aggresive, and feed off of the human blood components, mainly hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin is a chemical that lets blood carry oxygen and many other things. It is also why vampires need to feed off of human blood. Carries a fresh supply of hemoglobin.

The venom that is passed to spread vampirism, when introduced to humans, creates a unique mutation that causes the disease to create unique strands of V-cells inside of their human host(the fledgling vampire) Since they are unique to each individual, and also highly aggressive to turn the entire host, they will attack other unique sets of V-cells. This is why vampires can not breed with each other. But when a vampire breeds with humans, the embryo/sperm, can adapt at such an early stage of development, and create a new organ that produces extra amounts of hemoglobin, mostly dissipating the need to feed.

I hope that makes sense

ILU. <3333

Fist pumps jersey style-* Im glad tht made sense

Do you mind if I use this in the non-human/half breed guide? You would get a board contribution stamp, if you're into collecting stamps that is, as well. ^^

Yeah, and i could change up some graphics of AIDS/HIV and a virus picture to example how it would work for visual people. Or tell people how to do it. By the way, im making a second wanted add-points at the name-

Most people in Jersey don't fist pump D:

But snookie exist, you are all screwed for ever

WHERE IS THE LIKE BUTTON!?
