cecil the cowardly's definitive Anatomy Of A Vampire. written with no love whatsoever. obviously
the head of the vampire. often shadowed and sunken, there's not a paleness so much as a slight desaturation. a coldness to the touch that could be warmed with a gentle kiss if you dared.
the neck. arguably the most important aspect to a vampire from the perspective of a hunter. oftentimes there will be puncture marks from being turned, but the location can vary wildly depending on the circumstances. it's a wonderful place. many vampires can be ashamed of it depending on their willingness to be turned. this was my case. others wear it as a sign of pride when they are in a safe place to do so. ask before commenting on it.
the torso. littered with scars ranging from combat to an accumulation of smaller injuries caused simply by living for so long. the heart has long stopped beating and the lungs pretend to take in oxygen.
the arms. littered with scars of various origins. sometimes sharp and angular, other times rounded. rough hands from years of use.
the legs. worn out and unbelievably tired from more than a lifetime of overuse. older vampires tend to prefer changing forms if they have the ability to as ways to compensate. just because we have extra speed doesn't mean our legs are able to deal with it!
tl;dr all vampires are beautiful and as a vampire i am holding all of your hands
