Depends on which mythos you are taking your attributes from.. Obviously the Twilight vampires are the most liberal re-imagining but in every other real vampire story you can see some common traits and characteristics:
- Sensual - Intimidating - Mysterious - Nocturnal - Fear of religious iconography particularly Christian - Aversion to Sunlight - Powerful. Vampires are often gifted with increased speed, strength, agility, and durability - Blood drinking only. Consuming real food is often dangerous or fatal to the vampire.
these characteristics vary depending on the type of vampire mythos. For example vampirism in many stories is an infection. A virus carried in the saliva of the carrier (hence the biting). these vampires often do not have the fear of religious iconography that the mythical vampires do.
hope that helps
