let me start by saying this will be my first(?) stamp. It's not my best work, so bleh.

Ripped straight from Cursed With Awesome.

Cursed with Awesome: A character has some "terrible" curse placed on him that is actually pretty awesome. Often, such characters will bemoan their fate and go to great lengths to be rid of the "curse" instead of taking advantage of whatever cool side effects the curse may have. Other times it's the "reward" for Heroic Willpower. Sometimes there's a subset of people who try to tell him this.

Immortality has been done to death under this heading, even garnering its own trope. While eternal life does have some understandable drawbacks, excessive emphasis on the negative side can push it straight into Cursed With Awesome territory. The Emergency Transformation of a character often crosses into this, as the condition is considered literally de-humanizing.

Vampire protagonists are always, always Cursed With Awesome.
