[Error: unknown template qotd] Some people often have an immeadiate answer when asked this question. I don't mostly because of the way I've seen them in my own writing and in alternate streams rather than just the main stream. Mostly I think they both hold pretty equal footing in my mind, however, I might be more partial to werewolves. They always seem to get the short end of the stick or are the underdogs (pardon the puns). I like rooting for them. Mostly, vampires do appeal to me, but the I want you just to suck your blood has gotten kind of old (thus, probably why Twilight was so popular; it offered a different look at the vampiric world). So, alternative looks at vampires are what I mostly enjoy. Underworld and Twilight are two of my favorite alternative looks at the two "monster" like creatures.
In my own writing is where I would probably get the most conflicted about this, simple because I'm probably more enamored of my characters than anyone else's. (Some extablishing notes: werewolves usually live in packs in my world that are set up as a mix between a wolf pack and a monarchy. Most werewolves and their human mates/other relatives are considered Omega wolves. There is an Alpha and his mate and their children usually hold beta wolf status. Beta wolf status can also be earned by any omega wolf and has to be earned by any of the Alpha's children. Vampires, while they do keep in touch and keep eachother sage are more spread out that most groupings of werewolves. They are made by other vampires by the biting and transfering of a gene. Most often times, this will result in another gene change such as hair or eye color. Vampires do feed on blood, but human blood makes them sick and gives them a terrible addiction, so most vampires only feed on animal blood. All vampires respect and fear the elder vampires, because they are stronger, more experienced and have out lasted many more trials. Vampire-werewolf terms are not exactly friendly but most times they are civil to each other when they come together under the Lady of the Shadows, Lady of all "dark" creatures.)
The two prime characters that come to mind and are most often used in my writing are Romulous de Lupe and Vlad/Christoph Dracul. Romulous is the great-grandson of the alpha werewolf of his pack and eventually works his way up to a Beta status at sixteen by challenging his great-grandfather to a fight and coming very close to wining. Because he took on such a feet and didn't die his pack acknowleged him as a beta. Vlad (orginially Christoph, he renamed himself for his grandfather the great Vladimir Dracul), was bitten sometime in the sixteenth century by his later to be girlfriend, Akane. He was however deaged to that of a five-year-old in 1995, making him the same age as Romulous. Both boys met in kindergarten and became best friends, much to the distress of Romulous' great-grandfather and Vlad's grandfather who are less than fond of each other. In many ways, the become the balance of eachother as Vlad is bubbly and outgoing and Romulous is of shyer and more stoic stock.
For me, choosing between the two of them is picking vampire or werewolf and it's very hard to pick between them
