Vampire help needed

<< < (2/2)

JamiSings:
There's always the angle of "using her power to serve God/the community" but I should warn you it's been done. Short story I read about a Jewish boy who gets turned into a vampire (Jewish religion forbids the consumtion of blood) and a Rabbi finds a way for the guy to get around the rules while basically serving as a vampire version of the Golem. (There's even the Blood Libel plot in the story that the kid thwarts.)

I only warn you cause I wrote my own take on Beauty & The Beast and got accused of plagerizing some writer I never even heard of let alone read her stuff - and I work at a library.

Seems to me her big thing would be "Can God possibly love me anymore if I don't have a soul" and trying to prove to herself she does have a soul, and therefore worthy of God's uncondictional love.

Yeratel:
Well, there ya go, three separate and original plot possibilities to inspire you.

Matrix Refugee (formerly Morraeon):
Hee, thanks for all the suggestions, folks: I'm poking away at the story as of now and I'm planning on setting up a working journal on LiveJournal for some help beta-reading it.

The Corvidian:
Take the path that blood isn't the only sustenance that the vampire needs, or that human blood is the only type that will do. Sunlight saps them of strength, but doesn't kill them, and mirrors show their true faces.
