Lydia wasn't a banshee until after her bite from Peter; and Jackson became a Kamina after being bit by a werewolf. I think the bite of a werewolf has different effects on different people. So someone bitten by a werewolf may be predispotioned (for some reason) to become a Vampire rather than Werewolf. Just like with Lydia, I think the werewolf bite made her a Banshee.

So you're going a little with an "Underworld" type of explanation, in which both species are different effects of the same cause ... interesting. But there would be a little dent in that theory. Vampires are always showed as immortals and if you believe the classical legends, extremely hard to kill, close to impossible. And we know for sure the Teen Wolf werewolves are not immortal, they age pretty much at a more or less normal rate and they're not THAT difficult to kill. Hard, but definitely not impossible. Why would a werewolf create a being more powerfull than itself in some aspects, through a bite gone bad?

Seeing a little Asian myth to go with the Western Europe one would be nice. Perhaps some Eastern Europe or Middle Eastern ones as well. The point being there is tons to explore without falling back on vampires.

In particular a hack (my opinion) that allows vamps to 'sparkle' Its bad enough folks are getting away from traditional vampires (Although Dracula did have the ability or move around in the daylight just severely weakened) and are walking around during the fiery, blazing light of day but somethings are just SO wrong.

First: they DID bring Eastern Europe in the game with the werewolves. That's not specific to Western Europe. We also have it. I am originally from Eastern Europe and the ancient cultures living there many millenia ago were animal worshipers and at some points they even developed a wolf cult which was one of the ideas that gave birth to the modern werewolf myth.

Second: that was the idea behind the Cullen joke. It's disgusting to see what they're doing to vampires today with all that 'sparkling' like freaking fairies. You're right about the Dracula legend. He was a true vampire, not the Hollywood joke we see today, and practically impossible to kill if you didn't follow a very precise and extremely difficult procedure.
