Maia,
You hit my problem directly on the head. I have no problem in general with people doing anything that they want, but what I have huge issues with is people who specifically go out of their way to make something or be something which simply has no place in the setting/world that is in place. If you want to play a vampire, I'm sure there's plenty of places which have no problem letting you do that. My mud does not. And yes, the player in question posted a lovely review stating that the slogan on our latest banner is "Where all flavors of fantasy characters are welcome", and his character was not. Well, honestly, I don't consider a rip-off of the movie Blade to be fantasy in the classic sense of the word, we don't have vampires, won't ever have vampires, and do on, so yes, I guess there's one flavor we do not cater to...
