I think vampire would be cooler with a gestation / turning period.
Like, you start human but with the knowledge that you've been infected, and then upon your first natural death, you go into the ghost / overmind mode where you get to place your coffin. Also your regular human corpse turns to ash.
Until that transition, you're still an antag, but you're just human, so you won't be caught by sizzling in space or anything- but no powers.
You can go about doing dark murdery things, and when you're eventually caught / revenge murdered, boom! puff of smoke, dust in the wind, time to be undead boioooo. Spooky. Narrative. Cheap, Fast, and Easy to Do™.
