Vampires are born out of a fundamental
change which can occur in the physical bodies of creatures which possess
a soul. In most mortals the soul is the fundamental source for action,
creating the original impulses which eventually become the person's
acts. It is also a passage through which the creature can gain a small
amount of the infinite power underlying the universe, power which is
necessary for the functioning of a self conscious being.
A
vampire is born when a mortal creature undergoes a change which causes
the sensual physical body to revolt against the soul, usually expelling
it, and taking control of the creature. The actions of the being are
then controlled by either the remaining physical brain, the remnant of
the soul, whatever caused the expelling of the soul, or a conglomerate
of these forces. It is this emphasis on the physical body to the
exclusion of the soul, which causes many vampires to be obsessively
sensual and addicted to their own suddenly intense perceptions.
There
are many things which can cause a creature to become a vampire. These
include certain forms of intimate demonic possession, various viruses,
the casting of spells to become a vampire, or mental disease. Each of
these causes has its own peculiar nature, and can result in very
different outcomes for the victim.
