I don't usually make thematic builds, but Night Warrior provides a great sneak-attack opportunity. Basically I want to mix Darkness with Ebon Sorcery for a very dark hero. For theme, I have colored his powers red, like blood.

I went with Endurance because I've been on an Endurance kick lately. I could switch it. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here. He uses Darkness powers with Night Warrior Passive and I want him to have some necromancy type powers. He will be filling a DPS role and will use some evasive abilities to avoid detection. He's not a "stand out in front" type of guy.

If you mainly want to be dark and/or sneaky, shadow form gives some stealth (dex supposedly effects stealth strength) and combined with TP you can pretty much go wherever, and have a much more significant damage boost, you don't have to worry much about losing defense as night warrior gives very minimal in that department. Also, shadow form looks much more "dark" night warrior gives no visual effect other than looking like you are made of glass while in stealth, which is not on when you are fighting/using powers either.
Even in the Hybrid role and using Aura of Primal Majesty...is capable of massive damage and almost unkillable , as a dps , having tanked everything except Gravitar/Qwij/Kigi .
Dex Primary SS
Str+Con Secondary SS
Aura of Primal Majesty R3 for my passive
Bestial Fury with the Rip and Tear advantage for energy builder and additional bleeds
Bite r2 with Furor Venenum advantage . with the stats does decent damage with a very fast charge time . for more applications of bleed quickly .
Devour Essence R2 with the phlebotomist advantage , extra heals from the bleeds .
Supernatural Power as an energy unlock .
Form of the Tempest as my Form .
Reapers Embrace R3 for the Rupture to all the bleed stacks for very large damage . I don't use the show no mercy advantage , since I build bleeds fast anyways .
Scything Blade R2 with Swallowtail Cut advantage , AoE melee bleed , a full charge takes out groups of henchmen .
Void Shift with Nailed to the ground advantage . as my gap closer and that shadowy vampire appear out of nowhere effect .
Resurgence as a back up emergency heal . Active defense
Also the name escapes me right now , but have the Dodge Active Defense as well .
Intensity as active offense
The rest , do not matter .
This is just another idea on how to make a "Vampire" type build . there are lots of ways but Devour Essence coloured red is a good choice to centre around!
It provides........SPECIAL........bonuses for all Vampire characters.........

I'm thinking more like a cheesy vampire video game, not sparklepires.
That would look like this:
