Mission Statement of Vampires Den
What is the Vampires Den? (Updated)
This i
s a group of vampire costumers and vampire anime fans, we are like many other Otaku, but are interested in Japanese Vampire Movies and Anime. The point of this group is that we are here at most conventions and want to show our stuff. We have a different style of cosplay that is completely different from other types, we include not only the traditional mythos of the vampires of the European stories, but also stay true to the roots of the vampire legends.
We also include Vampires from Japanese and other legends as well into the cosplay. This including Vampire Princess Miyu and so forth.
What we are not
The group has no right to infringe on the cosplay skills of other groups, we are freely chosing the vampire cosplay as part of our wear for conventions. We do not promote nor do we condone the stances of practices in vampirism, there in by hurting other people in the pure sense of taking and drinking blood. We are to maintain a good outward appearance at all times and also do not condone violence of any kind toward or at groups of people.
Why Twilight is Cosplay is not allowed
Due to the popularity of the movie and books from the Twilight Series, we are not allowing thes
e as cosplay, considering that they are not considered part of the European legends. Conclusive to the fact that we are cosplayers and not regular readers of the popular culture materials that are outside of anime or the mythology. We apologize to any fans of Twilight who are expecting the Vampires Den to openly accept you, it is just we work with a different set of fans and also we are not trying to exclude you from join in any way shape or form, it is just we are trying to encourage you to read vampire novels outside of the popular culture. Dracula, Interview with the Vampire, and many more are much more accepting. We again apologize for this.
