well... if you'll watch elfen lied you'll understand that it is Telekinesis.. and yes, the chakra has affiliation with an element, the hand signs are merely a tool to bring out a certain skill.
and... lastly. it is a very good question. i don't think of vampires as elegant, frankly, i don't think werewolves are hopeless beasts either.
i can't romanticise either of them i don't think that getting bitten by a vampire is "sexy" or elegant in any way.. their behaviour is cruel and cold. while werewolves are simply put, animals, they usually live in packs, there is a certain warmth to a group and they stick together. i don't believe vampires would act the same way but i don't believe they will live in a "pack" and consider themselves as one of the group. basically, i consider myself a werewolf for many reasons, i love family life, i know i can't survive without my "pack" they are my strongest point and they are also my weakest point.
as weird as it may sound, i sniff people that are close to me almost everyday, friends and family. in my country it's acceptable to hug male friends btw. so smell is one of my strongest senses. btw, one of the first things i do before i start eating is smell the food.
and i'm not really attracted to a cold type of personality either, i can accept them for who they are but you won't find those people in my best friends list or my family. we are very welcoming people and hugs and a kiss on the cheek is a regular greeting between close friends and family. i don't want to get any weirder, i think you can understand me... and i say weirder because i know i'm different than a lot of people here so, yeah.. i'm weird in that way.
