Why are vampires dead?

The rigid definition of a vampire requires them to be dead. However there are people (and things) that have the potential to become vampires and some that have even employed this ability before they died. Persons that are half-vampires, or the child of a vampire are called Dhampirs. Usually they do not employ their vampire abilities until after they are dead as there is no good reason to do so unless you need to steal life-energy. (If you're already alive you create your own life-energy (which is of higher quality than stolen) so you have no need to steal any.) In fact most Dhampirs are vampire hunters. There is the story of Margot Seevel who (supposidly) was the grandchild of a full vampire. As a young child she was dying of small-pox and her parents (by some ritual) awakened the vampire potential in her so she could take life-energy (via blood consumption) to sustain her through the course of the disease. She survived (albeit scarred) and lived an otherwise ordinary life, married and mothered four children. When she died however her body was burned so she wouldn't awaken to become a true vampire.

How many boyfriends has rouge the bat got?

Why cant vampires drink other vampires blood?

A vampire can survive for a long long time without any nourishment at all. Some vampires have been buried for close to a century before they were disentured and became active. However they are not happy being so deprived, get right freaky in fact. Their physical and mental healthy deteriorates as well, to the point of sever neurosis and rotting. Eventually a deprived vampire will die, so the answer is 'yes' but only after a long long time.

EDIT- Well, if you are talking about Twilight vamps- If they don't get blood than their instinct takes over and attacks the closest thing with a heartbeat. So they can't really die from lack of blood because it's not possible for them to get to that point.

EDIT: It depends on the lore. Starving vampires can have whatever negative repercussions or benefits assigned. In Skyrim, for example, starving vampires grow stronger, but appear less human and will be recognized as monsters. In the Vampire Diaries, vampires desiccate, which causes them pain, renders them helpless, and will eventually mummify them unless they are fed, however, they don't die. In Buffy, vampires possibly become living skeletons. It seems that this didn't mean animated skeletons, but instead, extremely starved creatures, like a holocaust victim, but worse. Starving vampires are weaker and hallucinate. Again, they don't die. In Vampire the Masquerade, vampires will be forced into Torpor, that is to say, they will basically hibernate until enough time has passed and they have "healed." I'm not familiar with any lore that says starving a vampire can kill it to be honest. In most cases it renders them powerless and may render them inactive. Most real vampire lore paints them as blood sucking phantoms rather than tangible. They usually astral project or something of that nature. There isn't any solid lore on starving, because a vampire can't really be stopped from feeding unless killed or incapacitated by other means. I suppose if they accidently wiped out the entire village they may starve, but at that point, it becomes a case of, if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If a vampire is starving, we'd have no way of knowing, because the only way it could starve is if everyone were dead.

When did vampiers come to be?

The concept of vampires can be traced back to ancient folklore from various cultures, such as ancient Mesopotamia and Greece.

What is better the exogrid bat or the H2 bat?

There really is no "better" bat. However many players feel strongly about both. Many players will tell you that stiff bats, like the Exogrid are the way to go. Some will tell you the flexible bats like the Stealth are better because they give you more of a whip or trampoline effect when you hit the ball. I sort of think that the stiff bats are probably a little bit better because I'd personally rather swing something stiff than flimsy. That's just me.

There are a couple of websites below where you can learn more. One goes really deep into the physics of stiff vs. flexible bats. The other one is my website of articles of bat technology.

\In China, bats are very auspicious creatures. If one ever flies into your home, you won't want to do any harm to it cause it brings you luck! Bat symbols are seen on many Chinese objects, signs, and arts. They often seen as two bats or five bats but seldom alone. The bat is a symbol of good fortune because the word bian3 fu2 è��è� sounds like luck "fu2". Two bats "shuang1 fu2" å��ç¦� means double luck. A design of two bats with a scepter ru2 yi4 means "double happiness as wished". Five bats "wu3 fu2" äº�ç¦� means Five Fortunes referring to Good Luck, Prosperity, Wealth, Happiness, Longevity. For example, Five bats surrounding the Chinese character for longevity shou4 寿 is a very powerful symbol of fortune and longevity. A red bat is especially auspicious because red "hong2" 红 has the same sound as vast "hong2" å®�. So a red bat means "vast fortune". When a bat symbol is shown with a coin -- fu2 zai4 yan3 qian2 ç¦�å�¨ç�¼å�� -- it means fortune before your eyes. Why? Because before "qian2" and coin "qian2" sounds exactly the same. Another great visual pun.
