Heroic vampire PC

I played an existentialist vampire once. While he was a blood sucking monster that occasionally needed to feast upon humans to sustain himself, he refused to allow the vampirism to be the defining aspect of his essence. Courtesy of his willpower and free will he chose to redefine himself as a good man, never taking a life when drinking and dedicating his immortal life to being a paladin even though no god would accept him.

Sure, as long as the vampire only eats certain kinds of people, like criminals or the homeless.

Just because the Vampire has an effectively infinite supply of vitae does not mean they're unstoppable, only extremely powerful.

Considering it's a vampire that has defeated an ancient dragon solely to carve into the thing's dying chest and latch onto it's beating heart to drink of vitae-dense blood for an entire night, I don't see that being a bad thing. Adventurers have done less to go from level 1 to 15.

Sure it can, however, vampires are seldom very good at being good guys, even Kane (legacy of kane) turned out to be an anti-hero.

Then why did he decide to preserve vampires and other monsters? He could live comfortably as the only creature of his kind.

A better example would be Spike

I played one who only fed on bad guys and non human threats to humanity.

do it like venom: lethal protector

>i eat the bad guys and tear them to shreds!
>why are you screaming im one of the good guys?

Yeah. Hard ass lawful good is compelling for a vampire. You turn evil against evil, feed on evil individuals or individuals that don't contribute much to successful society, seeking to create utopia. Its just about as edgy as you can make LG, but can be within the bounds of LG.

A vampire is a sentient who needs to drink blood and comes with some strengths and weaknesses. Drink blood from the right people, don't be a dick, and you're just a dude with some powers who lights up like a match under the sun. OFC this doesnt work if the curse fundamentally makes an infected individual evil.

Vampires make great paladins. MTG has embraced it hardcore with its recent vampires, a boat load of them are vampire knights (in MTG this archtype includes paladins), and the Order of the Bloodstained is a paladin order that's exclusively vampires, and the Markov line has its own order of knights.

these are good ideas and aspects.
