However daily life will still be the same.
Infact, it'd be hot having 'inter-species' relations with them. If you catch my drift lul...
Would be a mix of them both
Actually the disease angle was a modern concept i suspect largely taken from the theory surrounding Porphyria. Stories of old depict the vampire as a demon who would put pretty maidens under his spell, a spell you will note that has no effect on men. The vampire would then send out the maidens at night to lure men into the trap and the vampire would feed on them till death occured. When the vampire is killed the maidens return to their natural human state.
If you spin the characters it bares the mark of ancient beliefs where the vampire is actually a woman who lures men to steal their life force. Lilith is one such character whose children were called lilin although the myth precedes this time. Its also worthy to consider the story of Persephone, the queen of the underworld and mother to the sirens who later replaced what we knew as succubus.
Its all quite interesting as its never explained how vampires reproduce yet old myth speak more of stealing sperm and impregnating human woman to bring the offspring of the demon/spirits into existence. This probably explains why being bitten by a vampire does not permit that person to turn others not to mention does not make that person part of the blood line and just a slave or worker ant if you like who dies the moment their master does.
Not everyone appreciates the humor, but I do.
As for what the world would be like, it depends upon the kind of vampire. Are they super-op female fantasy vampires like the ones in True Blood that can go a million miles an hour for no reason and walk in daylight? Can they feed without killing the victim like Dracula? Or is everyone they bite turned into a vampire or at least a corpse, as in Daybreakers? Are they Skyrim Vampires that can turn into beasts? I'm going to try looking at what we know to be true of all vampires, save the most ridiculous ones, and derive a conclusion from there.
Vampires need humans to live. Or at least continue being undead. For some reason, other blood doesn't usually work or work as well. Logically, this means that there probably needs to be more humans than vampires, depending on how often they need to feed. If they need to feed more than once a day, or take more than a pint, this is a serious logistical problem in terms of blood alone.
Another big logistical problem is that humans with a shortage of blood aren't terribly productive. The existing medical condition, Anemia, and blood withdrawals make people tired. So unless the vampires are going to do a bunch of work, we're facing a potential economic crisis.
Humans, being humans, do not like being treated like cattle or inferior in any way. Like all life, we're evolved to take control of our environment. Letting vampires feed on us is not going to appeal to most people for long, nor are bites that hurt a lot (unless you're into that) nor is donating blood to them all the time. Vampires would likely be a big burden to the species.
Yet they may not. If an arrangement could be reached where the number of vampires is kept as a fraction of the populace, something easily done if vampire cannot reproduce without intending to turn someone into a vampire, we may both benefit. People could have part-time jobs as blood donors, for which the vampires will pay them by using their vampiric superpowers to work graveyard shifts few people want. Win-win.
Finally, we need to consider whether the vampires are satanic or demonic. Maybe they just have some sort of virus. That's acceptable. But if they are indeed the spawn of evil, the religious people of the world will kill them. And there will be a lot more religious people than there already are, because if a higher evil power can exist, it also indicates that a higher good one can. Failing that, humans being humans again, they'll create one.
If coexistence is not an option for any of these reasons or more, vampires are straight screwed. As parasitic entities, they cannot kill or infect all their hosts without killing themselves. That means they must allow a competitor to exist, and a more numerous one at that because of their steep resource requirements. Blood is biologically expensive. Whole humans, much more so.
With greater numbers, humans will have both the biological and technological advantages. They will eventuall develop an immunity to vampiricism, or blood that poisons the parasites. That's kind of how our immune system works. It doesn't work against other blood-suckers for long because they reproduce and adapt faster than we do. But vampires don't evolve at all, unless they have some supernatural perk tree or something.
Technologically, we would destroy them utterly. Vampiric society, being small, is necessarily limited in innovation. Vampires are often portrayed as being smarter than humans, either through supernatural means or the fact that they can be very old. Irrelevant, they are not smarter than 7 billion humans each trying their own thing and learning from each other's succeses and failures. Additionally, we have cause to guard our advancements already, namely other humans. We're not about to let vampires with a clear predatory interest in on those. Nor any of their mindless thralls.
Thralls are often regarded as a good way to infiltrate human society. They aren't. Once people know vampires can turn people into thralls, vampires are doomed. Everyone will be checked by every possible counter-espionage trick in the book, and likely many biological tests. Anyone with access to sensitive information will be policed more than they already are. It is logical to conclude that people would form police states.
So what's a bloodsucker to do? Unless they can cooperate, and humans will demand their subservience in that case, so they won't rule the world, they're probably screwed in open battle as well. Yes, vampires are fearsome predators of the night, but so are humans. Even if vampires have the society, wealth, and techological skills to build a gunship, humans can build many more, with more technological innovations. If we force them into open war, they will lose not just due to numbers and technology, but by the fact that they are now killing their food source.
That's just at night. Our most fearsome weapon is daylight. Even a tactical noob knows that mobility is key to warfare. If the vampires can't move in daylight, they aren't going to evade our hunting task forces. We will catch them eventually. But maybe they have armor like in Daybreakers. Big deal, they still cant risk battle in daylight, and they can't bite through their own armor, much less ours. All we'd need to do is fight a holding action, the easiest possible, with the aid of artificial light.
UV rays are typically said to be the source of biological vampires' sensitivity. We can make those. Along with artificial sunlight. Creating a little plasma between two electric nodes is no great difficulty for us. And while it destroys vampires, humans thrive on it. We need sunlight to produce essential vitamins. All we need do is cover all of our positions and homes with the light we bask in every day. Might make it hard to sleep, but it's a lot harder for vampires to attack.
In every situation I can imagine, vampires are on the defensive. They have to be. And that is how you lose a war, along with control of the world. With the exception of cooperaton, I really don't see them ever benefitting at all. And I'm not just saying that because I hate vampires. Undefeated world champions, once again! Humanity Superexaltat! In fact, I think this deserves a Deus Vult. You can't win vamps, God wills it!
