How do you turn yourself into a vampire and werewolf in real life?

A vampire has to bite you then let the venom spread. Usually they just suck all your blood, you'd be lucky to get away before the vampire kills you. Most likely the vampire had to defend itself and that's why you lived. The venom spreading through your body is so painful that it criples you but doesn't kill you. The whole time the venom is spreading you will wish that you could die.

Werewolf's can not be created. They are born that way.

KEEP IN MIND THIS ANSWER ONLY APPLIES FOR SOMEONE THAT IS AT LEAST A LITTLE INSANE.

First off, If you are serious and NOT joking and you really think you are a werewolf, you're not alone. But we are VERY few. Some believe that they can physically transform. I personally do not believe this. However, there are miner changes such as heightened senses, increased amounts of energy/strenght, and then there are the cravings. For blood, or any type of red meat. These "symptoms" increase around the full moon, but may be present any time the moon is visible. Each cycle of the moon may be different. one often not being the same strength as the next cycle. The more strength, the more "symptoms."

here are some characteristics most "werewolves" will have. Use it as a checklist.

*ability to run/walk ( with a fairly mobile gate) on all fours (hands/feet, knees DO NOT count.)

*exact or very close-to imitation and understanding of canines, including howl/growl/whine/bark/ canine/ lupine facial & body language

*ability to move ears up/down. back/forward (slight movement, but to the point that it is noticeable) Some of us use our ears just as dogs/ wolves do, but the average person is unaware.

*Cravings for blood/ even cannibalistic thoughts (desired or undesired) and VERY rearely is anyone stupid enough to actually kill/ harm another person. this would result in more harm than good. For the sane, the consequences if found guilty of murder out-way the benefits.

*great hearing/sense of smell/ night vision (as humans go)

*obsessed with the moon- paying close attention to and even sometimes knowing when it is there even if it is not visible. (we know it is there when we feel an increase in our senses/energy level/ cravings.)

*may experience times where one cannot break their stare at the moon, feeling in a fog/ light-headed, or unbalanced/ feel as though they are being pulled to "the position" (aka position in which you would walk/run on all fours.)

*urge to rip/tear/destroy objects with teeth. object examples being: jeans, sheets, pillows, etc.

*Some, not all: have a history of self-injury, often for no other reason than to calm their cravings for blood/meat.

*Great interest in the canine species at a young age, easily grasping canine forms of communication.

*Do NOT like crowds of people, prefer to be left alone/ limited amount of people/ certain types of people/ with animals.

*have a strong compassion a respect to nature and the wild.

*feel at home and calm in the mountains or a place with lots of wooded areas.

*distracted easily by movement, often having impulsive thoughts to chase it.

*Prefer night rather than day.

*Do not get cold easily, especially when the moon is present/ visible.

*May develop a dislike of cats

* Majority are DISGUSTED with vampires.

*Anger/ irritability/ change in normal mood (in some cases) is prevalent close to/prior to/when the moon is out.

*Most of us have to find a way to channel our energy so we are not constantly pushed to be destructive.

*Some grow to be, or are already welcomed by who we are/what gift possess we. but we may feel guilty at times/ even at some points in our lives feel that it is more a curse than a gift. the feeling of being "cursed" might be more likely to occur in earlier stages of life; around ages 5-16.

*there are manny "fakers" and a true werewolf can pick them out.

*May become obsessive over the sharpness of one's teeth. Some even go so far as to cosmetically sharpening them. But that is rare.

*May strongly believe your spirit is part wolf: one also might often feel as though he/she is a wolf trapped in a human's body.

*We all have varied beliefs/ opinions. Some are very secretive, others can seem depressed or sad, while others are just the opposite. But we all share a fondness for "darkness".

Some information about the supernatural werewolves of legend: there are many explanations in folklore about them, although there is no logical or scientific explanation for how they might exist.

European Werewolves

Werewolves originated in southern and eastern Europe, around the area of the Carpathian Mountains. In physical features, they are about a medium build, often having more muscle mass than fat (if well kept). They usually are quieter, communicating more through looks and small gestures. The males are often larger then females, except in the case of "Alpha Wolves" or those who keep growing at a slow pace to maintain dominance (much like wild wolves). The European werewolves were nearly wiped out, but a few packs managed to save themselves by emigrating to the New World. European werewolves were once able to change into wolves, but those that mated with humans soon had the gene for shifting bred out of the bloodline. European Werewolves are also called Lycans.

Skin-Walkers

A Skin-Walker is a Native American-Indian who takes the form of a wolf or coyote. The Navajo tribe called these "Yenaldalooshi" or "He who walks on four legs". The story goes that when one wears the skin of an animal, it gathers that animal's power and becomes that animal by shape-shifting. The intermingling of European species soon eliminated that ability for the majority of the Skin-Walker population. There are still very few of the pure-blood Skin-Walkers left, and of those only a handful can still shift. It takes on the mentality of the animal and behaves as a wolf would.

What are the Translyvanian facts about vampires and werewolves?

Transylvanian vampires are like Dracula and other "creatures of the night". They are pale, have fangs, only come out at night, and suck blood. Unlike the Twilight series and other stories in Transylvania the werewolves are bad they kill people and turn into wolves during the full moon, they then kill people and when they become human they don't remember being wolves at all. It is possible to be one and not even know it. These are just myths, and "real" werewolves remember, have recall about being such. They can change at will but new ones must change when they hear a howl or see a full moon.

Transylvania is located in Romania, the locals were called Dacians which means wolves. They revered wolves as noble warriors and were said to be able to change they soldiers into wolves. There is a myth about the great White Wolf who was man and walked with a priest the priest then gave him the will of God who turned him into a White Wolf so that he would help in battle by summoning the wolves to fight their enemies with them.

So no werewolves were not considered bad and evil in Romania, they were considered blessed by the Gods.

Dracula comes from Transylvania legend from Vlad the Impaler. Vlad lll and his brother Radu lll (the beautiful) were sent to the Ottoman court to serve as Vlad ll (dracul) loyalty to the Ottoman Empire (1442).

During that time Vlad lll was often beaten and whipped because he was stubborn and often verbally abused his captors, his brother Radu was much easier to control. It is said that being prisoner changed Vlad's demeanor and made him into the killer he became so notoriously known as.

Vlad ll Dracul and Vlad lll Dracula (Dracula literally means son of the Dragon) were initiated into the Order of the dragon.

It was Christian based.

Vlad lll was merely given that name because of the obscure way he killed his enemies by impaling them (which was his favourite way as history tells it.) Estimates for number of his victims range from 40,000 to 100,000. Needless to say Romania thought of his as a great warrior.

How tall are werewolves?

In folklore and fiction, werewolves are often depicted as being taller than humans, with some variations showing them as standing at around 7 to 8 feet tall. However, their height can vary depending on the specific interpretation and story.
