I've been reading lots...this is a good summary of the different types of "Vampyres" most commonly talked about nowadays.
Human Blood Drinkers
Humans who through choice or urge have become partly haemavorous.
Some style themselves after true Vampires or Vampires of myth or popular fiction, some are ordinary people for whom blood-drinking is an exciting diversion in their lives and some use blood as an aide to sexual excitement.
Whatever the reason for being a Mortal blood-drinker, a huge culture exists to support them. Most choose to advertise for blood doners or purchase it from blood banks if the laws in their country allow it. They take enormous care to ensure that the blood is not tainted with HIV, Hepatitis or other potentially harmful impurities.
The correct or preferred term for a blood-drinking human is a Sanguinarian.
Life Drainers
I know this type of Vampyre has been discussed, but heres a little more of an in depth analyses...
Psychic Vampires are humans who have some telepathic ability and use this ability to draw the life force from others.
They come in two types, Intentional and Unintentional.
The first type actively seeks out victims with whom the Vampire will attempt to interact in such a way as to provoke strong emotions, sexual intercourse is the most common. The Psychic Vampire will then use the time when the victim is at his or her most vulnerable to absorb the mental energy emanating from the aura. Other Psychic Vampires prefer to attack victims whilst asleep, often causing vivid nightmares upon the emotions of which the Vampire feeds. The victims will feel drained of energy and inexplicably tired after an attack, however death from Psychic Vampire attack is rare. Outwardly the Intentional Psychic Vampire is a normal, ordinary human being although many choose to become haemavorous as well, imitating the more common human blood-drinkers described above. Psychic Vampires are not immortal but are victims, nor do they suffer from the downfalls of True Vampires such as allergy to sunlight or allium.
Unintentional Psychic Vampires feed in precisely the same way as their more malevolent cousins. The only difference is that they are completely unaware that they are doing it. They will feel refreshed after sex whilst their partner lies in a stupor. They are morning people, having fed while they slept on other members of the household who will complain that their housemate is far too chirpy in the morning.

Evil has a way of sticking around, at least in my corner of the world anyway, despite the shells and arrows aiming to unseat it.....
Perhaps you could be the "Evil Exterminator"! You should check on obtaining lisencing rights. I can see the church has failed in it's duties, as evil does abound, but you should definitley protect your 'saving' service, and not have some impostor using your call sign....

Quite true. Also, a Tec 9 semi-auto with a 50 round mag works WONDERS for warding off evil. You don't even require silver bullets!

Although this may sound just a bit too hokey to be true, there is some credibility in the idea that silver and other elemental or sacred items may help to guard against the 'psychic vampyre'. If one feels that they are at risk of attack by such a psychic leech, a blade made of silver or iron may be placed above the outer doors of a home, also a good idea to stash the same sort of item under ones bed. Not for physical combat, but to ward off the energies seeking to feed off of the residents of a home, or slumbering occupants. Another traditional guard against such attacks is the placement of pure water in some sort of vessel about the home, namely at the entrance ways, and in the bedroom. Theories regarding how and why these methods are effective vary, but general consensus of those who study the subject is that for whatever reason, these precautions are indeed helpful.
