It's really well written and there are some great ideas, but I must say I don't agree with you...

I mean, what's wrong with being handsome/super pretty ? I don't get it.... It's a TV-show, obviously they are gonna be all handsome, pretty, hot and stuff. It's supposed to be commercial. I never read anything about how werewolves were supposed to be so much more pretty than vampires, to be honest... "Handsome to an extent and only for picking up victims or pets" .. What if he was just naturally handsome before the bite ? What if he has a great DNA and he's just super pretty ? You can't make someone ugly because of a bite (well I guess you could, but that's stupid. It's not a curse, like you said.) Then, obviously, if a vampire turns a "ugly person" (quite rude, but hey), then that person is going to stay the same, but since it's a TV-show, they are gonna cast great looking people and won't take "handsome to an extent" people just because vampires shouldn't be "super pretty".

That said, I really like the idea of them being quite hideous when they are in their "final form" or whatever. Like with big razor teeth as you said. Dark eyes. It reminds me of the vampires/demons from Supernatural and it's great, yes. I think that would definitely be good. The wolves in TW aren't exactly cute either (without being hideous, tho) so yeah, it would fit.

What's that personnality thing, tho ? Okay, clearly you don't want Edward from Twilight and neither do I, but vampires from The Vampire Diaries - for example - don't match your so dark and deep definition of a vampire, but they aren't all pink and happy either. Damon, for example, is a good example of what a vampire should be. Why would a bite make them stop feeling emotions for a girl, let's say ? Why would the body stop making Dopamine, Serotonin and Oxytocin just because of a bite ? Why would they be embracing and enjoying the bite, while not every werewolves do ? I don't know, it's like your vampires only has ONE personallity and ONE way of thinking and it's a bit boring, to be honest. Every vampires on the show would be the same.

BUT, I agree with you about the weaknesses, sun and everything. They shouldn't sparkle at all (seriously, Edward ?!) and I don't think they should have necklace and stuff that keeps them from burning either. Sun should be their wolfsbane. So yeah, I agree with you on the weaknesses, abilities, and the rest.
