Tried playing the character as just is canonically a vampire with no mechanical impact and got told off by several admins when I mentioned it in the discord so fuckin thanks I guess.
I actually hate being told off over a character I enjoy too much to be comfortable with just ditching or fundamentally changing to the point where it wouldn't be the same character.
Just to clarify I don't mean I hate this in like an angry way I mean like it actually brought me to tears. I get emotionally attached to characters I enjoy and it feels like hell to be told off about it.

Edit: best I can tell from your discord conversation, looks like you self-resolved handling this, so this post is a bit redundant!

If you want to play someone with vampiric traits that aren't vampires.. without hving a trait for it.
Why not play a charater who thinks they are one, but just has an allergy to garlic. (you can't pick allergies though but i'd be a funny medical record)
