Vampires don't live in castles, Count Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count, not because he was a vampire.iamnmbr3 replies:
this feels like a sensitivity training for how to not commit micro aggressions against vampires in your workplace
Hey now, one of my worst nightmares would be encountering a Vampire who wasn't offended/didn't notice me enough to end me or turn me. Sadly, I'm not catching their attention with my good looks.
Good looks are temporary. Vampires like character, both the ethical kind and the fascinating kind.
Sadly, in most mythos, ridiculously good looks are a pre-requisite. I'm glad you have your own ideas, but I doubt the fiction is thoroughly saturated with that concept in a world where vampires exist and would have contributed no-small-part to the zeitgeist on purpose or accident, simply by nature of their long lives. On the other hand, I didn't call myself ugly or anything.
