-	Turning someone into a vampire requires for the human to get vampire blood in/on their body, either trough consumption or getting their blood on their skin. There is no need for the human to be bit by the vampire, nor do they need to die and be reborn. There is no guarantee of a human turning into a vampire after consumption/contact with of vampire blood. Some may turn on their 5th or 6th attempt, others never turn no matter how much they try.	+	Turning someone into a vampire requires for the human to get vampire blood in/on their body, either trough consumption or getting their blood on their skin.

		+
		+	There's a significantly higher chance to turn on consumption of vampire blood, than merely getting it on you accidentally. if it gets directly in your bloodstream trough an open wound, it becomes a lethal poison either turning or killing the infected human.

	Creating a new vampire does not give the vampire who turned them any real control over the new vampire. Most vampires were turned accidentally (preyed upon by a vampire, then left for dead.) Even if the body has taken considerable damage, it may turn into a vampire and heal up as if nothing ever happened should the human have come into contact with his/her attackers blood.

		+
		+	A vampire has no use for a toilet other than to puke out any human food they ate for whatever reason. Though, they are able to pee if they drank water or other non-blood liquids beforehand. Since they have no digestive system it's physically impossible for them to do a "nr2" on the toilet.
