Just toppled my first temple statue. Now let's retire this bluejay man briefly to see what his curse is.

There's a better way to check, just run as quickly as you can in a random direction. Werebeasts will get tired, vampires will not. Or at least, this is true in my experience.

Isn't it even easier? If you are vampire, you see NPC's trough walls as red ". If you are weresomething, you can't.

Rest of the sigs
The helicopter is rent apart by the collision, its steel unable to resist its inevitable reunion with the ground, and the meat within is smashed by the crumpling cockpit beyond any practical hope of recovery. What comes up, must come down again. Ore and ape, returned to mother planet's embrace.

That relies on living creatures though. And not every village will have a lot of living nearby humans. Sure, that'll work in every world that isn't going through a bit of a crisis, but just running in a random direction works in most other scenarios.

your saying a temple that usually in one of those large population sites probably don't have any living beings to trigger the blood vision bit?
you could just look down until you see any underground critters. if you don't see any then you're a werecreature

Speaking of vampires and empty temples.
My most recent adventurer became a vampire by toppling temple statues, it's handy to have a companion to wait outside so you know when the red 'blood vision' blip shows up.

Right after becoming a night creature I was dead set on barging into a necromancer tower and demanding I be taught the secrets of life and death but instead got caught up reading 'masterful' and 'passable' books on how the tower came to be.
And there were LOTS of books detailing the storing of every book, like you're so bored being practically immortal you write books about how you set a book down on a table? Yeah.
They had interesting names too; like wonderful works such as:
"The Storing of ____"
"Concerning Storage"
And my most favourite.
"Do you know Storage?"

After awhile I got bored of reading and found the tablet, learned what I came for, and promptly cut the head off the local necromancer named "Bil". 'Kept some of his masterful books too!

And after that I was pleased with what I'd became and learned so I started wandering around until my first vampire thirst kicked in, I crossed a river looking for some wildlife to suck dry and found a little pack of capybara, got down on all fours and used my inhuman speed to scramble across the ground like a spider up behind the chubbiest capybara thinking he'd be full of the most blood.. And I wasn't wrong..
I strangled the poor bugger until he passed out and started feeding on him over and over and over again.. until..

The little bugger started purring! I felt reverse violated and froze wondering if I should keep sucking it's blood.. I did and it kept purring, I was even more surprised when it woke up! I must have fed on it at least twenty times and it was still kicking. It drowsily tried to bite me and I panicked and tried to strangle it back asleep but my vampire strength suffocated the poor little guy and he died..

And thus concludes my most recent adventure.

One of these days I plan on one of my adventurers becoming a necromancer and raising an undead catsplosion to unleash on a hapless town somewhere.

Alternatively: pull up the story interface > current site > filter for cursed and it will have your entry at or near the bottom.

or try to have a conversation with yourself/a god and search for "tell me more about this person." and see if your adventurer's name has a vampire title added on.

What are some examples of vampire titles? Usually something involving the night or blood I would assume

Vampires don't have different names or titles - they're just vampires. Unlike werebeast syndromes they don't transform you into a completely different creature.

Well, I sure had a weird emotional rollercoaster.

I started off as a killer clown, Talikil Slaughteramuse. Had to find my way out of a Nerubian fort - advfort helped since I was spawned in a part of the fort that had no exit.
Out in the wilds, I came across an ancient of war. Talked with him for a bit and asked him to join me - for some reason, he accepted. I later renamed him to Johnny Guitar...I dont know why. Appropriately enough this adventure isn't the happiest one.

Johnny had a particularly noticable temper - he'd randomly attack some denizens of the nearby Tauren civilization and be peaceful with the others. Made things somewhat difficult but that's okay - I managed to steal a steel shield and khorium flamberge and gave them to Johnny. We made a small shack out in the dunes together as a hideout for our crime spree - first we killed off the competition from nearby bandit camps, before we started raiding the hamlets of the Tauren.

Johnny's long life came to an end when we raided one of the Tauren hamlets - after fending off many of the peasants, one of them, a hunter, decapitated the big lug. I grabbed onto Johnny's favoured flamberge and slaughtered most of the inhabitants of the hamlet as revenge for my friend's death.

The retribution felt hollow, though - a loss of a friend is irreversible and no amount of bloodshed can change that. Everything felt meaningless to Talikil without ol' Johnny Guitar. Only thing left to do was end it all.

well vampire in their name usually the game reveals this if you go and talk about folks you seen,

except when the game list your character as yourself... darn so i guess looking Directly down is probably the fastest way to check to see if your a vampire if you topple over a statue in an abandon area void of all life.

Was looking for a criminal organization in a crypt under a town - had a promising start when I found several groups of sleeping kobolds. Squashed all their heads, of course - having a grand ol time until I bumped into a mummy who raised all of the corpses I had walked past getting there. If I weren't swamped with the walking dead I would've been lucky cause it was my companion whom he cursed for disturbing him. There was no hope, though - didn't even make it to the stairwell.
