15Trends and tropes come and go in society, and it would be fair to say that two of the defining trends in modern entertainment have been vampires and zombies. We've added them to everything in the past couple of decades. All we can really take from this is that, as a species, we've become more obsessed with the concept of the undead and immortality than we have been. Sure, vampires and zombies have existed for decades, but we only started to put them into everything in the recent years. We decided that it would be fun to make a quiz about one of them for you.
Vampires really hit the mainstream when the Twilight books were turned into films, and since then, they've gone from being a tween obsession into a genuine narrative choice for anybody creating a film, book or television show. We've got together some of the best vampire characters out there and we want you to pick your favorites. With this information, we'll tell you which famous vampire character you would be! Mark the from 1 to 4, 1 being the best and 4 being the worst.
So, are you obsessed with vampires? Think it's about time you found out which vampire character you would be if you were transported into the world of fiction?! Well then, let's get started!
Edward Cullen
The heartthrob vampire who started off the cultural obsession, Edward Cullen is in love with a human woman, which obviously isn't easy if you all you can think about is draining her of her blood. He may be a little bit serious, but his heart is always in the right place.
Damon Salvatore
Damon is one of the most dangerous types of vampires, as he incredibly attractive, charming to a fault and is able to go from playful to deadly within seconds. You do not want to find yourself on the wrong side of this guy, but it certainly can be entertaining to watch him.
Bella Cullen
This character wasn't introduced to us initially as a vampire. We watched her love story unfold and then we watched her die, and wake up to becoming a vampire. Edward turned her when she gave birth to their hybrid baby and she couldn't survive the birth. He couldn't imagine life without her so he turned her right in the nick of time.
Angel
While he may have started out as a ruthless vampire, Angel has been cursed with a human soul. He is tormented by the things he has done in the past, which is why he finds himself helping Buffy, despite the fact that her destiny is to help fight back the vampiric hordes.
Viktor
This man was actually turned by the very first vampire, offered an escape for death in return for his insane military expertise. He used his army and his knowledge of combat to help the vampire who gave him his powers defeat the Werewolves.
Maximilian
Maybe we're wrong in saying that it's only recently that people have started adding vampires to everything, because this comedy horror film is decades old at this point. That being said, you can hardly claim that Eddie Murphy was ahead of his time with these films can you...
Marcel Gerard
When The Original family got their spinoff TV show Marcel was one of the first new characters introduced. He had taken over the reign of New Orleans in Klaus' absence and resented him for leaving. Klaus sired Marcel which made their bond complicated and very emotional.
Selen
This woman will not back down from anything, and if you're the sort of vampire that wants to live a hedonistic lifestyle, then you're looking in the wrong place. She is stubborn and she will spend her life fighting the Lycans, never stopping for anything that might get in her way.
Mick St. John
This one is a bit of a throwback, but it is very worth it. Mick St. John was the detective vampire from the TV show that was cancelled way too soon, Moonlight. We would love for them to bring it back, but if you want a piece of Alex O'Loughlin you can still catch him on Hawaii 5-0.
Caroline Forbes
One of the most successful vampire origin stories, Caroline takes to vampirism like sunflowers take to the sun. She became a better person once her human side was gone. So a better creature? Either way, she certainly had one of the biggest arcs in The Vampire Diaries, as she went from whiny and bossy to incredibly kind, loyal, and still kind of bossy.
Klaus Mikaelson
This might seem like cheating a bit because Klaus is actually a hybrid. Just because he is half wolf, does not mean that he is not also a vampire. In fact it has made him twice as powerful because of it. In The Vampire Diaries, where he is first introduced we get to know Klaus as the baddie with a heart, buried deep deep down. He is one of the Originals and his story continues on in the spinoff.
Santanico Pandemonium
Quite possibly the most beautiful female vampire to ever be created, it's no surprise that this character was created by Quentin Tarantino. The concept of the evil temptress is a complex one, something that many people have written about. We think this one was written and performed brilliantly.
Elijah Mikaelson
The soldier of the family, Elijah is also the most honest and protective of the original family. He develops much more in the spinoff shows and we see his relationship with Hayley blossom, break, and blossom again. He is the protector of the family, and probably the most fair and pragmatic of the bunch.
Bill Compton
After Twilight, it seemed like everybody wanted to take a chance on adapting a fantasy novel in the hopes of getting the same amount of money from the franchise. Bill Compton is from True Blood, an adaptation of the novels from The Southern Vampire Mysteries series.
John Mitchell
A lot of the time, people seem to turn to vampirism as it offers them eternal life. However, John Mitchell from Being Human did it to save the many lives of his troops. He took vampirism for a truly charitable reason, which we think is an interesting angle on the vampire narrative.
Rebekah Mikaelson
Stubborn and difficult, Rebekah is as fierce as she is stunning. Part of the Original vampire clan, her and her siblings were turned with dark magic and gave origin to most the vampires that we encounter throughout The Vampire Diaries 8 seasons. We continue to see her in the spinoff show The Originals that follows her and her family members.
Emmett Cullen
The strongest of the Cullen clan, Emmett was turned when Rosalie found him in a bad state and fell in love with him. She begged Carlisle to turn her and they were together from that moment on. He is playful and the most welcoming of the clan. Not much seems to bother him and he is always down for a good arm wrestling match.
Henry Fitzroy
Bringing in actual history to your fictional narrative can be an interesting choice, something that can lend a real bit of intrigue to a series. This vampire is supposed to be the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, a man that actually existed. Using this seems smart to us, especially concerning vampires.
Eric Northman
This vampire is over a thousand years old. Do you think you'd enjoy being alive for that amount of time? Everyone always says that immortality would actually be terrible but we really don't think it would be. We think it would be amazing. We want to be immortal for sure.
Aiden Waite
Being Human US was the American version of the original UK series of the same name. It followed the life of Aiden, the vampire, Josh, the werewolf, and Sally the ghost as they tried to navigate through life being as normal as possible. Spoiler, it never worked out in their favor.
Drusilla
A lot of people, if they were handed the reality of being a vampire, would go insane, which is why it's no surprise that this vampire is definitely insane. She's obsessed with seeming girlish, and yet she also has an unpleasant way with words and non-sequiters.
Dracula
This is the big boy, the granddaddy, the the guy who is the reason we all are watching vampires in film and television today. Based off Bram Stokers creation, Dracula, of the Dracula Untold version is played by Luke Evans. It follows the tragic story of a man who was turned and shunned by society for it.
David
It makes sense that if vampires did exist and were part of the modern world, they would choose to dress like stereotypical bad boys. They would be bikes, roaming the land looking for blood to suck and people to terrorise. It sounds pretty awesome...
Lestat De Lioncourt
Believe it or not, but this Tom Cruise character was actually based on the creator's husband. All we're saying is, if your wife can genuinely look at you and see a convincing vampire, you should both probably start questions the nature of your relationship before it's too late.
Stefan Salvatore
The younger of the Salvatores was actually turned first, so he is the slightly older vampire, but younger brother. It may seem complicated, but believe me that is not the most complicated thing about the Salvatore boys. They spent most of their life fighting over the same girl. The first one Stefan got, and the second time around Damon got the girl. It is fair I guess.
Rosalie Hale
Another R named vampire, another beauty. Rosalie, like Rebekah Mikaelson, had her looks heightened in the transformation. Not that they weren't beautiful before, it just was amplified in order to reel in the prey. Survival and all. Rosalie is considered a Hale, like Jasper, as to not seem weird that they were dating someone within their clan.
Elena Gilbert
Probably one of the most short-lived experiences as a vampire, Elena is one of the only vampires we have seen that managed to stop being a vampire as she took a cure. She is the main love interest torn between the two Salvatore brothers in The Vampire Diaries and in the end she picks Damon and they end up happily ever after.
Louis De Pointe Du Lac
If we see any sort of film or television show that makes vampires look like this, we usually end up running in the opposite direction. This style of vampire narrative has been done to death! They need to start being put into different genres and settings if we're going to keep watching.
Spike
The bad boy of the Buffy universe, it usually felt like this guy was purposely trying to get under people's skin. As a vampire, you could probably argue that's what he's supposed to be doing, but it definitely didn't earn him any friends.
Blade
This guy hates having vampire blood so much that he spends his entire life attempting to kill the rest of them and the other demonic hordes associated with them. Is it possible? He doesn't care, he's going to keep trying!
