A slightly cleaner version of an article I wrote back in 2008, I removed the starting diatribe which was mostly about the political grumblings of the sang, psi, hybrid hatefest of the last decade 00-10 (blah blah psi's are superior blah blah sang's are the only true vamps blah blah hybrids don't exist blah blah) and kept it to the simple theory and nothing more. if you wish to see the original starting text ask and ill send you a copy lol.
The Theory: Hybrids
Hybrids are vampires who have learned or adapted to feed from more than one source vampiricly the mixes are as diverse as the personalities of the community, from sang dominant / psi secondary and vice versa. to date I personally know of the following types of feeding and there are so many different combinations of these as there is flavours of carbonated beverages.
Sang, Psi, Tartaric, Tactile, Emotional, Elemental, Sexual, and Spiritual
I know people with only one dominant and one secondary, people with multiple secondary methods,and even people who have balanced dominant needs.
Some vampires believe Hybrids are the future of vampirisum, some believe them to be a weaker breed of vampire lacking the ability to sustain them self through one source and some even believe they are merely posers and that the idea of a hybrid is a joke.
I believe it is neither of these things as I will explain later on, first we must look at how Hybrid vampires come to be.
Some speculate the hybrids are created when a vampire is unable to feed by they're usual form of feeding for example blood and the body goes through a stressful adaptation (forced secondary awakening) to allow them to feed another way to get the some sustenance until they can once again feed the way they were meant to, in the case of a sang dominant this would produce an energy absorption secondary for example Psi. From this point on the sang vampire needs and feeds from blood if he becomes unable to to do so due to lack of donor he can again fall back to the Psi feeding.
Another theory is that hybrids awaken to a hunger for multiple forms of feeding and that in time they learn to balance these hungers and discover which is dominant and which is secondary,usually by testing to see which they have to feed more often to remain sustained and satisfied.
Both of these theories work on the idea that the awakening, the process in which vampires come into their nature and begin along the path of their true nature is a momentary trial that last for a set period of time and then ends with the finished result of the young freshly awakened vampire being completely what he is and always will be vampiricly unless of course his/her body forces another traumatic awakening due to starvation.
My Theory works on the continued awakening theory,the continued awakening is the idea that the awakening process although brutal at the beginning never truly ends, it merely becomes more bearable as we learn, adapt, grow and most importantly feed the hunger given to us in the onset of this irreversible process.
As the vampire lives and learns more about their vampiric nature and the world around them they continue to adapt as their body process's the experiences and unlocks more of what they are, it is also a different process for each and every vampire. some will gain in abilities, some will become stronger in those faculties they already posses, and some will gain new hungers and the abilities required to feed them.
Some changes will be subtle, some vampires may be awakened to more than one thing at a time, some may go so long between adaptations that they may not realize the process has been ongoing the whole time. I do not believe any vampire is awakened into the final product they are to be, there is always room for adaptation and growth, weather mentally, physically or spiritually the process is unending and should be embraced and most importantly nurtured.
So the Hybrid by my theory is just a normal vampire who has awakened progressively to accommodate differing hungers and needs within their bodies and minds, that we vampires are all one and the same despite our differing hungers and abilities, and that we are all better off if we work together and help one another as we adapt and learn more about our selves and our vampiric nature.
Sang's, Psi's,Hybrids and all other forms of vampirisum, have to remember that we are in this together and we need to work together instead of against one another over silly thing like difference's in feeding. No one is better, were all brothers and sisters on the same path, the vampiric nature within us doesn't care about these things it will not stop, it will not tire and it is the one thing we all seek to understand.
Thank you for your time
