Council Vampyri are Dark/Regen, so something along those lines. My Vampire-type toon is a Dark/WP Brute.
Thugs/dark, ever see the movie, the Lost Boys?
Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Ah! I love that movie, thats a great Idea! Thanks~
ok, I can easily sell you a license for my Thugs/Dark motif for X infamy on the Victory Red side. IT'S a JOKE! 
Don't forget Group Fly for the profile screenshots with a Rogue Isles full moon backdrop, ... you the 6 thugs, and the 15 member posse!

There's probably at least half a dozen to a dozen different ways you could build a vampire in this game.
Any combination of Dark/Dark on any AT.
Powersets inspired by the Council Vamyri, as said above.
A freakin' Warshade.
SS/Inv, don't forget the Sparkle aura. 
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a whole SG of vampires based on any/all of the above. Except the last one.
I have a vampire themed DM/SR brute.

Governments have fallen to the power of social media. Gaming companies can too.
If you're going for the classic "I'm super strong and incredibly resilient", your best bet for a vampire is probably Dark Melee (if you ignore the black fuzz, you get super strength and super natural speed via the punches, "blood drain" via Siphon Life, mezmerizing/frightful stare via Touch of Fear) paired up with any of Super Reflexes (super agile vampire), Regen ("human" vampire that just heals fast), Invulnerability ("your weapons don't affect me"), Willpower (blend regen with Invuln types), or Dark Armor (scary/magical vamprire).
I would go with DM/SR
DM/Shield, with the "Dark" elemental shield, would work too. And it's a great build. 
I team with the Repeat Offenders.
I was thinking about this myself earlier.
However, I was also taking into account that I16 will introduce color chages. So any power you have can come off dark.
Personally, I'm thiking of making a mind/psi dom, then darkening the powers. This will create more of the controller-ish kind of vampire.

I have a Dm/Regen Scrapper that I RP as one ..I'm going to create a DM/Invul Brute I think for this..
Kinetics if you're looking a non-dark set, since that set is all about stealing power from foes. Of course that follows a more spiritual vampire theme than a traditional theme.
You know you could just go AR/Dev and say you are some 700 year old Visigoth vampire who sees no reason to not leverage human weapons against them.
Or something really left of field like a energy/energy dude in power armor because you know steel has like the best SPF ever!
There's Necro/Dark; a vampire and his lesser undead minions. And when Issue 16 comes, make the dark powers red - Twilight Grasp is you sucking your enemy's blood out from a distance, Blood Omen style.

There have probably been a zillion threads on this as well!
Study your search-fu, grasshopper!

Yea, was thinking kinetic/dark would be good.
I think the best would be mind/dark controller...if they ever let controllers use dark as a secondary. You could build one as a foe in the AE and I bet it'd be pretty scary in more ways than one.
You could totally make a MA arc with an enemy group of all different vampires.
I think there's a Blacula arc out there.

Isn't one of the Council vampire AVs a mind control/dark melee?

Hmm, searching "all" forums for the last year with the keyword "vampire" I saw maybe 1 other thread that would qualify. Does the search cut off after a certain number of results?
a Mind/Psi dominator actually works for a vamp build as well. But I agree Dark/Regen (or will power) works as well too.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

I need a good power combo that a vampire-themed toon would use..I'm curious to hear all of your suggestions. Thanks in advance-Z

Most vamps are /super reflexes stalkers or scrappers (More villains then heroes, so more stalkers than scrapers). Even for non-stalkers, stealth is almsot contractually required. Primary is either martial arts, or, for greater coolness points, a weapon set (Vampires with Kitanas for the win!). If you want less vampire superstrength/speed, and more freaky dark powers, then dark armour and/or dark melee work well too.
On the other end of the spectrum, mind control (as a controller or a dominator) works well with the vampire backstory, at least if they;re the Bram Stolker/Anne Rice/World of Darkness style sexy vampires with freaky mental powers.
Fiery Aura, as a consequence of standing out in the sunlight. I've actually seen this one done; he was an old, powerful vampire who was too tough to die from sunlight, and was just burning all the time.
