There's no real lore-friendly way to RP vampires because there's no such thing as vampires in XIV.
I can't really see anybody forcing an elemental into submission. They're intangible, unknowable nature spirits that have complete control of the forest. How would an elemental turn somebody into a blood-sucking zombie weakened by sunlight? That doesn't really seem up their alley.
This seems almost ludicrously overpowered.
So then they don't even have vampire weaknesses? And how exactly would there be a public superstition anyway if vampires don't exist in the world of FFXIV? There's no superstition because they're not there.
