For the background of the vampire Joss took many things from ancient mythologies and some from the latter fictional works about vampires such as Stoker's Dracular in a way Vampires go back to the days when the earth was ruled by demons thousands of years before humans. The world was like hell! But Million's of the demon races got trapped in other worlds and gradually Humans came along and became the dominant spices on earth. In those days there was the "Pure Vampire" something which really did look like a demon, all green with spike sticking out of them etc.., And they could not speak English (obviously as this was billions of years before the language was invented)
When angel visited the Demon world of pyella he literally turned into this demon when he Vamped, all of his human qualities left him and the demon inside of him took complete control. The Vampires we know of today arose because the original vampire demon bit one of the early humans and infected there blood with his that human bit another and another until there was a whole race of vampires as we know them. Ever since the this happened there has been one female who has been the slayer. The primevil(first ever)slayer is seen in the season 4 final. Although he took some things from modern fictional works like the stake through the hart and garlic and not entering unless invited one thing he did take from early mythology was that A vampire was really a demon in a dead humans body. This made them vunraable and not so all-powerful as Dracula, they cannot fly and cannot turn into mist and most cant control a person. When the character of dracula was introduced in the season 5 first episode he still displayed all of the quality's that he had in the classic novel but this was explained as it not being because he was a vampire but simply Gipsy magic and hypnotism which is why he is the only one to have learnt it. |
