Sure. But kinda boring story-wise. I like it if they can go out and mingle with humans. And just leaping out of the shadows for centuries would get old and kinda boring. Being able to stalk your prey *and* have a fancy car or lots of awesome books or whatever is more interesting, to me.

If you live for six centuries, you should have *something* to show for it other than a box full of dirt.

Well, that's a fair preference. I don't think it would necessarily mean a boring story though. Just a different character type. Or range of types. You can play it as the 'woe is me' vampire, just with arguably a bit more cause when they're hideous and have to spend their unlives mugging people in dark alleys. Or play them as a purely pragmatic predator, who doesn't play around with humans because they don't CARE about them anymore, and what concerns them are more powerful threats like other vampires or possibly hunters, those rare humans who can actually fight them. Depends on setting too. In a world where the supernatural is hidden, yes, visibly monstrous vampires are going to be at a disadvantage plotwise. In worlds where the supernatural is right out in the open, it needn't be the same kind of barrier.

Also, I mean, you can be hideous and mug and kill people for food and still live in a castle with a library. Particularly if the castle is also supernatural, but even normally too. Money works just as well as good looks. Better in some circles.

Heeee. It's true, money is a great incentive - just look at tRump!

Since i detest all 'woe is me' vamps, I'd rather plump for 'the supernatural is out there and we know about it' kind of thing.

(Though an attractive vampire is still more...attractive, to me, than one that looks like a Gollum, but a good story could sway me.)
