Sounds pretty much the same, then. I don't know what you mean by him wanting to die, though. Unless he didn't want to be a werewolf. A lot of people back home get turned because of attacks.
Really?? What's that like?? Back home, there was only him and maybe a thousand or so of us artificial vampires left. The count of true vampires were like.. two.
[Most people don't understand her world. It's okay.]
Imagine if occult magic and science had a baby and decided the daddy was dracula. That's how that happened.
[Don't ask her explain, she couldn't even if she did understand it.]
What I can't imagine is politics and vampires going together. We'd rather kill each other than talk and often did. Though attacks? That I can understand at least.
[...Which explains why her world had such a low vampire population.]
I'm not even sure what to say to that. Except you all have be pretty young.
[ Test tube vampires? ]
True, but all of the more powerful vampires have their own territories. And there are even more powerful vampires who are in charge of them. So it's less politics and more a cold war, each of them testing the other vampires more than outright attacking them. If you're strong, they let you be. If you're weak, they go in for the kill.
Most humans don't know anything about that part of it.

however he was the last one and pretty old by the time I met him.
I think that's the reason he wanted to die
he didn't like being the last one

Seriously? There are...thousands of lycanthopes of all kinds back home. Though... I knew a lamia once. She was the last of her kind.

Artificial? All our vampires were true vampires. I don't even know what artificial would be.
It was fine, I guess? A lot of politics I wasn't involved in mostly. And a lot of people getting attacked.

[So, sort of test-tube vampire. More like, results of genetic-experiments.]
See, I understand Cold Wars. That makes more sense than politics and so does knowing the strong can hold their own and the weak don't last long.
Most humans weren't aware of us either.
