The vampire society is divided into classes, which allows you to choose whatever personality you want for yourself – an aristocratic charmer who can always find a way to persuade and seduce mortal hearts, a manic psychopath who listens to the voices in his head and converses with stop signs, a feral child who often succumbs to his vicious animal instincts, and many more.Ĭlick here to read more on Hollywood Insider’s vision, values and mission statement here – Media has the responsibility to better our world – Hollywood Insider fully focuses on substance and meaningful entertainment, against gossip and scandal, by combining entertainment, education, and philanthropy.
