Vampire Apocalypse: Difference between revisions

 

The drying up of the world's oil resources leads to the fabled End of Days. Technology stagnates and communities grow ever more insular. With communication between cities lost and attention turned inward, the vampires rise from the shadows where they have survived for centuries and sweep across the globe.

By the time word spreads it is far too late and Vampires enslave humanity and keep them in walled cities to breed. The Vampires are masters of the darkness but maintain control by day through the use of Thralls -- humans who have been bitten but have not yet crossed over, and whose inhuman lusts make daylight as terrifying as night.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sandra, Dee Ratigan.

* [[After the End]]: Ironically, the human race is ruined before the vampires take over.

** [[Word of God]] claims that it's also due to the extreme lengths of time vampires live mixed with overwhelming hunger. This doesn't explain the drastic personality changes that some characters undergo when they change, however.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Vampires go this after too much exposure to serum-tainted blood.}}

* [[Being Evil Sucks]]: Vampires seem to be pretty miserable, living in a decaying world over humans.

** They oddly don't realize this, instead blaming their problems on other factors.

** The transformation into a vampire also qualifies. Unlike in other media depictions, it is not the least bit romantic. It turns you into what is essentially a walking corpse.

* [[Black and Black Morality]]: {{spoiler|The Vampire Civil War and the Thrall rebellion.}}

* [[The Quisling]]: Thralls are human beings who have agreed to serve vampires.

* [[Shout-Out]]: An amusing one comes in the third book where a group of young rebel children call themselves [[Red Dawn|Wolverines]].

** Also Regan.

* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|William Carter.}}
