4 | ''[[http://vampirates.comicgenesis.com/ Vampirates]]'' is an online comic that debuted in 2005, created by Jones. The series follows a rag-tag group of Canadian Vampire Pirates on a mission to visit their ex-captain and exact revenge for his ruthless deeds. Getting there won't be easy however, what with the ferry hijacking, bar brawls, and dealing with hiding an even bigger crime - biting and turning someone into a vampire. Vampirates! contains vampires, pirates, kidnapping, blackmail, cross dressing, and yaoi. |

6 | The cast is as follows: |
7 | |
8 | * Clyde Callaghan - Cute kid, new vampire, who was kidnapped by vampire pirates. He didn't mind so much. |
9 | * Hassan Qasim - One of the vampire pirates. He's out to murder his former captain. |
10 | * Patrick Murphy - The oldest of the bunch whose funeral has since been immortalized in song. Don't, er, mention the song to him. ''Ever.'' |
11 | * Ira Robertson - A friendly neighborhood bumbling assassin, sent by Tractor Jack to stop Hassan. |
12 | * Remy Rousseau - Ira's much more competent wife. Used to be Tractor Jack's first mate before a cute little accident nixed that gig. |
13 | * Captain John "Tractor Jack" Allan - The guy Hassan wants to kill. He deserves it, though. |
14 | |
15 | It went on an unplanned hiatus in March of '09 and was officially discontinued on 9th January 2011. |

17 | It has no relation to a novel series by the same name, other than containing vampire pirates. |

19 | !!This webcomic provides examples of: |
20 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Quoted from the archive page: "Warning: Vampirates! contains offensive language and Canadians." |
21 | %% * BatmanGambit: From Tractor Jack's end. The way he played [[spoiler:Hassan]] and [[spoiler:Ira]] against each other just screams of this. |
22 | %% * BeautyEqualsGoodness: Played straight and subverted. |
23 | %% * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Hassan is 93. Murphy is... a lot older than that. |
24 | %% * BerserkButton: Murphy. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbNypLbWD4k&feature=related Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died is a night I'll never forget...]]'' |
25 | %% * {{Bifauxnen}}: [[spoiler:Clyde]] |
26 | %% * BigBrotherWorship: Clyde to his big brother, [[spoiler:Clyde]] |
27 | %% * BilingualBonus: Remy. |

29 | %% * ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Ira's medicine]] |
30 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Subverted with Clyde. It looks like this when he goes with Hassan willingly until [[spoiler:Remy sees Clyde's picture in the newspaper]]. It's implied with this that Clyde's parents aren't as happy with their little kid running around with pirates as we thought. |

33 | %% * GoodScarsEvilScars: Subverted by Tractor Jack. |

38 | * OrphanedSeries: On hiatus since March 2009, officially discontinued January 2011. |
39 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires aren't affected by the sun, they can drink fresh or bagged blood, and they have a drug that can control their hunger, though it doesn't do anything to actually sustain them. |
40 | %% * StealthHiBye: How Hassan and Clyde first meet. Clyde's the one doing the stealth bit though. |
41 | %% * TeamMom: [[http://vampirates.comicgenesis.com/latest.html Parodied]] |
