Title: If you could be...
Post by: pielord47 on May 16, 2008, 04:07:47 pm
Which would you be?
This extends from anything from vampires and werewolves to dragons or unicorns. Explain your choice. you will be graded...

I would become a vampire.
It would be so cool because they are extremely strong and fast. I wouldn't have to breath or eat (except for blood of course) since they're undead. And vampires are immortal. I wouldn't have to worry about missing anything. Plus, if I wanted someone to stay around with me (ie family and friends) I could turn them into vampires and then they could live forever too.

So what would you become?

Some of these modern day vampires are killed SO easily by the simplest of things, it's just not worth it.

Now, after putting a lot of thought into it (perhaps too much) I'd be a Satori. Its a creature from the mountain passes of Japan that can read people's minds. That's an awesome power. And after all, the mountains of Japan would be quite a picturesque place to live.

See, I was tempted to say vampire. But ever see the movie "Interview with a Vampire"? I think it'd be like that. Sure it would be fun for a century or two (haha) but then you would really come to realize that it is indeed a curse.

Heretic! We all know manbearpig is a real creature for serial. Please guys, I'm being super serial about manbearpig.

I'd probably be... I dunno. I think something that flies, breathes fire, and scaley would be pretty badass though. Man, think of the possibilities!

I like the sun too much to be a vampire. They're almost always pale motherfuckers. Plus the stake through the heart sucks balls too.

There are a lot of mythical creatures, but, inevitably, they all have some weakness. It would be fun to be a centaur, I suppose - running seriously fast over long distances, having people ride you , having an awesome mane and sleek coat... But there's the problem of jumping directly up, moving backwards, going down stairs etc.

Dragons are frikking awesome. Not only are you insanely intelligent, but you get to hoard loads of treasure for no reason other than you like the shinyness of it. Plus YOU CAN FLY! And BREATHE FIRE! And because you're coldblooded, you'd have to sunbathe a few hours a day to keep yourself in working order. The downside is the bastards trying to kill you all the time to make a name for themselves, or steal your treasure etc.

Aqrabuamelu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpion_Man) are cool. I suppose the best of both worlds would be a male Campe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campe) (dragon/man/scorpion).

You guys realize that just because the common conception of vampires is that they can be killed with a stake through the heart and can't come out during the day doesn't mean that it's true. It's really how you see them.

I've seen/heard just as many stories where the dragons had a brain the size of a pistachio, so be careful what you wish for.

Those are bestial dragons. Generally, if dragons are atrributed the power of speech (which they often are), then they are tremendously intelligent. Films often prefer bestial dragons cos it's easier to kill something that fights like an animal. But in both European and Asian tradition, dragons are overwhelmingly intelligent, though for Asia, they were generally wise and benevolent, whereas for Europe, they were generally cunning and malevolent.

A dragon.  And one of the freaking awesome dragons, where they're huge, completely armor-plated, razor claws and teeth, breath fire, fly, intelligent and crafty, and are powerful magic users.

Abatwa - because I can ride ants.  I already have a spy army of ants.  Why shouldn't I want to ride them to war?

A griffin. Mostly because griffins are wild flying creatures.  
Although a Leviathan would not be bad at all.

The Kraken! And you could call me any time you like. All you have to say is "SUMMON THE KRAKEN!" In a Scottish Accent of course.

Because Succubi are female demons. Incubi are the male ones.
