QUIZ:
Is your identity as a vampire escaping
you?
by DAMON SALVATORE
1. Standing on the sidewalk, you are torn between roaming the streets
or the forest. At the slightest scent of rabbit, you eagerly head for the
woods. How often does this happen to you?
A. Torn? I would choose the forest any day.
B. Over half the time.
C. Maybe five times a month.
D. Never! Animals can't hold a candle to humans.
2. Your feeding habits most fit the description:
A. Only when the hunger pangs start.
B. There's a set pattern, and I feed before it starts to hurt.
C. I indulge once in a while, but mostly just try to keep myself strong.
D. Whenever the opportunity arises. Who said there's such thing as
too much?
3. You feel best when:
A. You know you've restrained yourself from killing anything.
B. You're in the content, relaxed mood after feeding.
C. You feel a slight rush of strength after dropping your unconscious
victim.
D. You're strong enough to shift into a bird right on the spot, and
you still want more blood.
4. You're wandering the streets, having fed a few hours before. A beautiful/handsome
human walks by, thrumming with blood. You:
A. Don't give them a second look.
B. Are momentarily tempted, but soon decide against it.
C. Follow them to feed, justifying it to yourself that you would have
needed to feed eventually anyway.
D. Change your path immediately to go after them. The more blood, the
better the power high.
5. You suddenly are transported to Africa for the hunt of your life.
What do you do?
A. Find a herd of antelopes and weed out a strong one to take some
blood from.
B. Chase a couple of hyenas.
C. After some debate, go to the nearest village and take some blood
from each person.
D. Chase and kill a male lion... after building your strength at the
village.
6. Which of these human movies are your favorite?
A. Pinocchio. You'd say Bambi, but all those cute animals make you
feel bad for feeding.
B. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's nice to see a movie that shows vampires
as being defeatable, rather than totally powerful.
C. Psycho. Blood running down the drain always gets your teeth tingling.
D. Call of the Wild. It shows the inevitable truth that the raw power
of one's nature will overcome all.
7. Your favorite weather conditions/time of day are:
A. A perfectly clear dawn.
B. A cool, cloudy evening.
C. A slightly cloudy twilight.
D. Rain at midnight without a cloud in the sky. Hey, it's your decision.
8. What do you think of werewolves?
A. The originally bitten ones are okay, but the ones that go through
the initiation scare you.
B. Filthy creatures. No sense of personal hygiene.
C. Their blood is no fun to drink; it tastes like muddy water to you.
D. The bloodthirsty ones are great hunting companions; when you can't
be in wolf form, you've always got a backup.
9. The last form you shifted into was:
A. N/A. You never drink enough human blood to shift.
B. An evasive bat.
C. A hunting fox.
D. A full-blown black panther. If you've got the Power, why not flaunt
it?
10. What compliment would make you feel best?
A. "You completely defy my idea of an all-powerful vampire."
B. "You don't seem like a killer to me, but you're still so strong."
C. "So quick, so strong... so impressive."
D. Words needn't be said. A gape of awe/fear and weakening of the knees
will do it.

Mostly A's: Gentle Ben
You're a vampire? I wouldn't have known! Get out of the woods and
into
the city. Try a few nightclubs or coffeehouses, and get used to
the idea
of feeding from humans before a REAL vampire comes and kills you.
Mostly B's: Weakling
You've still got a long way to go, vampire. Slowly integrate more
humans
into your feeding schedule, and let yourself be taken over by the
hunt.
Otherwise, you'll stay weak forever.
Mostly C's: Average Joe Immortal
You're doing great, but there's always room for improvement. Don't
hesitate to hunt when the need, urge, or opportunity arises. Remember,
true hunters don't need to rationalize their actions with their
conscience.
Mostly D's: Dangerous Dracula
Right on! You're at the pinnacle of your power, and won't give
in to
your conscience, because you lost that years ago. Keep feeding
from
humans, and NEVER be lazy. You don't know how many vampires I've
seen
that will just hunt in their backyard for lack of easy human prey.
