So I'm familiar with the basic elements of vampire fiction: make it your own, don't plagarize Vampire the Masquerade (I guess Requiem is too horrible to plagarize), and they have to suck blood.

Optionally: they burn up in sunlight, can produce offsping by raping human women, can't shave because they have no reflection, don't appear in photographs, have superhuman abilities, are hyper-sexy, don't get along with werewolves for some reason, and... I think that's it.

So, time to break down the stereotypes. What would you consider the fundamentals of vampire fiction?
