I'm interested in playing a half-elf/half-vampire character, and starting a dark campaign about the wars of the Undead (Vampires, Zombies, Revenant, and Liches mainly), but I need the information below and some other stuff before I get started making and writing it. I need information like stats, ability modifiers, resistances, innate abilities (such as regeneration, energy drain, and magic spell-like abilities, etc.), and level equivalents for half-moon elf/half-vampire, half-drow elf/half-vampire, and half-human/half-vampire player characters. If someone could provide that information for me, it would be very appreciated. Thank you. =)

I've done most of those combinations 2nd AD&D and done some of them in 3rd edition. Thief/Fighter go well together, but I'd personally suggest Thief/Monk over it for all out power and ability. Thief/Wizard also work well together, and in my opinion are more useful than a bard. Wizard/Cleric is a common old school combination that works real well later on, its just hard to keep them alive for some of the lower levels, and I'd suggest having one full-time Cleric or Druid and one full time Wizard to round that out...It works out well, just make sure you have two nice melee characters to deal with the stuff up front. Druid/Ranger works well in 3rd edition. Ranger/Cleric never worked all that well, you'd be better off with a Fighter/Cleric. I'd suggest a group that looks something like this:

Fighter
Thief/Monk
Cleric
Wizard/Cleric
Wizard

and possibly one other type of melee character such as another Fighter, Monk, Ranger, or Paladin. That would be a strong and balanced party.

What if someone wanted to play half-vampire, one quarter-vampire, or possibly even full-vampire as a PC full or part-time in your campaign? Where would you start with abilities and level equivalents for those types of characters? I'm interested in playing a half-elf/half-vampire character or two with the usuals, tiefling/aasimar, and drow in a dark campaign that takes part in the wars of rival undead possibly with some demonic creatures involved...it isn't anything I've started writing up yet but it is an idea. =) Any info or help would be more than welcome and appreciated. By the way, I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm asking something that is already answered. Later.
