Question 2 From A Good Conversation

2. If a vampire bites a zombie will the zombie become a vampire or remain a zombie? or will it become some form of hybrid.

I had thought about writing a larger post about the plausibility of vampires and zombies actually being real. After thinking and doing some research I made the conclusion that whether vampires and zombies are real or not is too hard of a question for me. What I do know for sure though is this, if vampires or zombies do exist they are not the sort you see on TV. Most stories nowadays about vampires and zombies are just an authors imagination. Each author invents his own sort of vampire or zombie creature as they imagine or desire them to be and write a story. 

So to answer the question is difficult because which sort of vampire or zombie do we want to use? Do we use Stephanie Myers definition of vampire or John Polidor's? Do we look at the Walking Dead's idea of a zombie or World War Z's? It is not possible to come up with a true answer to the question. So I'll invent my own definition of vampire and a definition of a zombie and we'll answer the question based on my own imagination. 

Vampire: noun, a creature of supernatural origin created through an unlawful mixing of flesh and spirit resulting in an abomination both spiritual and natural. Most spiritual beings gain their life force from God. However God has separated Himself from vampires forcing them to gain their life force from something other than God. The most readily available source of life source is blood. However, some more powerful vampires can mine the spiritual power which God pours forth into His creatures. So while blood is most often the source of a vampires nutrition other sources are available. 

Zombies: noun, a corpse of a human being empowered to move through the influence of an outside source. Depending on what source is empowering them a zombie will do different things. In ancient times soldiers or slaves would be killed upon the death of their king. Spells would be placed over the bodies of these servants as a precaution. If the tomb was disturbed these bodies would arise and would destroy the disturbance. An apocalypse of zombies would require a power source far more advanced than the magic charms used to awaken a dead soldier to protect it's king. I don't foresee an apocalypse of zombies unless some new spiritual forces makes its way into our sector of the universe. 

Based on the above definitions I do not believe a vampire would bite a zombie. If however it were to happen two things might happen. The vampire would drain the power from whatever is giving the corpe ability to move. Or the vampire would be overwhelmed by the power within the zombie and become a creature under that power's control.
