I personally always thought being a werewolf would be much cooler. That is, if being one were more like the modern takes on it, and you had some
control of your actions once changed.
Undead parasite, damned, can’t go out in the daytime. No thank you. Plus, I think eternal life would get old and depressing after awhile.
Me? Totally! Imagine the things you could learn and see and achieve and do with an eternity. Imagine being alive to see the rise and fall of different
cultures and ideas. Sure the whole seeing people die all the time thing would kind of get to you, but I would take that difficulty to be able to
experience the world.
