Today I had a particularly interesting interview with a vampire. I know where you're getting at, and no, this is nothing like the movie. An eight foot tall muscle bound creature ducked under the much-too-small door and took a seat in the thankfully-form fitting chair in front of my desk after receiving my request for an interview. Here is what was gathered.

Interviewer: "Thank you for coming on such a short notice. Lets begin with your name."
Valentine : "Thank you for having me. My full name is Valentine Rae Eisenberg.
Interviewer: "My goodness, you have a very deep voice. I was told that you were female. Forgive me, but do you often have problems with people unable to distinguish your gender?"
Valentine: (gives a hardy chuckle and clears her throat) "Yes, most people dont recognize my gender unless they've seen. Usually, they dont believe me if I simply tell them."
Interviewer: "Did you ever have any surgery to become more masculine?"
Valentine: "Absolutely not. Rarely do you find a naturally masculine women around. Muscle is muscle, it doesnt matter what gender its on. If you work it, it will grow...and the voice will deepen."
Interviewer: "Now, Those teeth are pretty frightening. I understand you're a vampire, but has this impacted your ability for employment, relationships, ect?
Valentine: (Clearly runs her tongue along the long canines) "It does seem that way, but my Doctrine Degree speaks louder than a pair of fangs. I work as a Doctor at Happening Hospital."
Interviewer: (interrupts with a soft gesture) "A vampire as a Doctor? Now this is something I've never heard before. Doesn't your nature interfere with surgery or the like?
Valentine: (flashes that fanged smile) "I can definitely see how that can shock you. 60 years in the medical field has granted me alot of control. Let me ask you a rhetorical question. You are a wolf if im not mistaken. Could you work at a meat packaging plant without giving into your basic needs? Of course you could, because you have enough control to see that this is your job and doing this will result in your unemployment. Now if I was starving, then that could be a problem...same with anyone."
Interviewer: "I suppose Ive never taken the time to think about that. How do you keep yourself healthy? Someone of your size would probably need alot of the red stuff."
Valentine: (leans back in the chair, the wood sounding like it was on the verge of snapping) "That much is true. Fortunately, part of the agreement was that they supplied me with as much as I needed...that...and well, I had to take my lunch outside during breaks. "
Interviewer: (lightly laughs) "I can image how many people would scootch to the other side of the break room. What about the horns? Where do those come from?"
Valentine: "These are something everyone in my race sports. Mine just happened to look like a minotaur. Just like deer, every rack has its own unique shape. They grow continuously throughout our lifetime. Some cultures of my race consider this a status symbol. I just consider them a part of me."
Interviewer: (spends a moment to eye the huge horns jutting from the sides of her skull) "They are eye catching indeed. Now, more about your job, in what ways do you help the Hospital for them to pay you in blood AND cash?"
Valentine: "A good question. See, I naturally produce venom that begins the process of turning another into...well....what I am. Modern technology is able to alter this into a powerful medicine that serves a great number of purposes depending on how its used. I provide this to them, they provide the rest. This has saved many lives."
Interviewer: (surrenders a warm smile) " Beautiful. Most people would assume you're a creature of darkness."
Valentine: (leans forward in the chair and sighs) " Above all, this is the thing that disturbs me the most. I am Christian, I believe in God. The sun causes no harm, nor does all the other BS stated. A leech didnt ask to be a leech. I simply have a digestive system similar to a vampire bat and require alot of iron...nothing more."
Interviewer: "Oh, Im very sorry to have brought that up."
Valentine: (holds up a large, calloused hand) "Dont be sorry, Im glad we cleared that up at some point here."
Interviewer: "have you turned many people throughout your life?"
Valentine: "A few. Mostly it was because I saw them as fit to carry out a life such as this. In fact some of them were from the hospital. Ive gotten to know them enough to give them a second chance, to see they would be creatures of nobility and light."
Interviewer: "I love the fact your heart is in the right place. Its truly endearing. Have you ever surrendered to your basic nature? What was that like?"
Valentine: "Hasn't everyone? Yes, ive had a few accidents and more than enough lawsuits against me, even spent sometime in Jail. This still hasnt stopped me from caring about others and helping people." (Looks down, clearly shammed of the past events)
Interviewer: "I can only image how hard it was for you. Let me lighten the mood by asking you, what are some of your hobbies?"
Valentine: (takes a sip of water from the bottle on the desk) " When not working, I enjoy spending time in my gym and relaxing at home. I also enjoy art and literature. Time doesnt mean much to me, so I take it all slow. One day im writing in the comfort of my home, the next, im spending some time with some friends in the city or at the lake. Of course, there is always room for excitement every now and then."
Interviewer: (glances at his watch) "Well, Valentine. Its been an absolute pleasure meeting you. I deeply look forward to hearing more at our next meeting. (Clicks the Stop button on the recorder and tucks it carefully in a suitcase before shaking hands with the vampire)
Valentine: "Nice meeting you as well." (Stands up) " Ill be here next week."

(Not that many people read my journals anyway. I just wanted to shed some light on my persona through a fictional interview haha, feel free to do a similar journal with your characters. Im sure this has been done before though haha)
