. VAMPIRE UNIVERSITY .
.INTRODUCTION.
The hefty weight of the old-fashioned letter stirred a rather unsettling mix of anxiety and excitement within your gut, and as your eyes scanned the return address in the top left corner of the large envelope, the concoction of emotions continued to grow in intensity. You flipped the heavy envelope over, studying the wax seal that ensured the proper closing of the parchment. The wax was a deep crimson, its edges ragged and smooth at the same time. Stamped into the now cool wax was a logo that you recognized quite well; the coiling, serpentine form of a dragon, mouth opened in a fearsome roar. A plume of flame leapt from the dragon's maw, forming a elegant border. Beneath the dragon's coiled tail were the words Et fortitudo aeternitatis. Strength and eternity. Caligo University. With utmost care, you pried the wax seal from the heavy parchment, slid the envelope open, and withdrew its contents. The parchment paper was old-fashioned; it was ivory in color, its texture rough and smooth at the same time. You carefully unfolded the letter, eyes snapping to the dragon extending its length across the top of the page in a rather impressive letter head. Et fortitudo aeternitatis. Your eyes shifted to the letter's contents. To Whom it May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that we at Caligo University wish to extend top you an offer of a scholarship, totaling one-hundred thousand dollars, the cost of four years of attendance at our university. We have watched your growth through your high school years and are greatly impressed by your potential. With this letter, we formally invite you to begin your undergraduate career here at Caligo University, and we look forward to welcoming you as one of our chosen.
We look forward to embracing you as a member of our small, elite family.
With Sincerity,
P. Kingston,
Headmaster of Caligo University

. VAMPIRE UNIVERSITY .
.CALIGO UNIVERISTY.
As the students arrive on campus, the first thing to strike them is the spectacular beauty. The school itself is a few miles from the nearest city, tucked away on a stretch of land with tall trees that collect mist in the mornings. Gothic black and gray spires erupt from the central buildings. They appear very old, and are so ornate that they seem as though they belong in the ancient cities of Europe. The campus is guarded by a tall black iron fence. The gate from the main road is closed at night, for the safety of the students (or so they are told upon arrival).
The campus is composed of seven main buildings. The first is called Noctem Hall, which from the outside looks like a cathedral due to its stained glass windows and high ceilings. Inside, it is used mostly for dining. For important events involving the whole school, it is converted into an auditorium of sorts. To the left of that building is Umbra, which is the building used for most of the classes offered at Caligo. Inside are many classrooms, all joined by halls with intricate columns. Behind Umbra is Virago Dormitories, which is where all of the female students are housed. The rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished, each with two beds. Across the courtyard from Virago is Virtus, the dormitories that house all male students. The rooms are identical the the womens' and also contain two beds per suite. Between Virago and Virtus is Creperum, which contains the offices of the professors and administrative staff. Here the students come to consult their professors and to discuss classwork. The remaining two buildings are Tenebrarum and Obscurum. The former is the smallest of all of the buildings. The back half is a green house, used both for classes and by the resident chef. The front half of Tenebrarum is the "shed" which is where all of the equipment for outdoor activities and classes is held. Obscurum, which is on the edge of the main campus, is an alternative building for the smaller classes. The loft is available as a meeting place for clubs and is furnished with a fireplace and comfortable couches.
There is a good variety of majors offered at Caligo, despite its small population. This is thanks to its learned professors, who typically mentor a student or two personally depending on their area of expertise. They also teach general classes which average 15 to 20 students. These are classes like chemistry, literature, history, etc. More specific classes are composed of fewer students in more private settings.

. VAMPIRE UNIVERSITY .
. THE VAMPIRES .
The smaller half of the school's population consists of vampires. These vampires are relatively young, as vampires are mostly born, rather than made. The vampires at this school have some of the characteristics of a vampire of legend: the fangs, the eyes that seem to glow like a cat's in the dark, the unsettling aura. These vampires, however, have a few noteworthy differences: they have the inherent ability to control the minds of humans, and while it is not unheard of to take full control of a human's mind, it is far easier to influence the mind of a human to ignore the differences that a vampire presents. A vampire's eyes will reflect light, similar in the manner that a cat's eyes will. Vampires also carry a compound in their saliva that can make their bite extremely pleasurable for a human. Some humans carry an immunity to a vampire's saliva, and in such cases it becomes even more vital to have control over the human's awareness. Vampires will always trigger a human's survival instinct with their very presence; only by controlling a human's perceptions can they go unnoticed. Vampires can retract their fangs at will, and have quicker reflexes than a normal human. They are also able to move much, much quicker. While it is not uncommon for a vampire to choose a mate within their own species (ie another vampire), more widespread is the pairing of one human and one vampire. A mate bond is formed through the sharing of blood by both parties, and over time the connection strengthens to the point that the human's life is tied to the vampire's.
Here, at Caligo University, not all is as it seems. The humans that attend this school are paired with a vampire ambassador, usually of the opposite sex, though it is not a necessity. What the humans do not realize, however, is that they are paired with a vampire as a source of food and entertainment. The vampires at this school are more or less trapped here, as a method of population control by the United States government, and so humans are continuously filtered into the school to keep the vampires docile and entertained. It is not unusual for one vampire to be assigned to multiple humans, because of the population differences. Amongst the vampires, their assigned human is referred to as their Chosen.

. VAMPIRE UNIVERSITY .
.THE REBELS.
Now, as we enter the story, there is a stirring in the ordinary world. Some of the vampire professors are no longer morally okay with feeding off of innocent students. This select group of vampires desires to expose their secret to the Caligo community, and potentially to the world. They are tired of living their lives in hiding and are prepared to face the consequences of letting their secret out. As you can imagine, this is not popular with the other vampires who are perfectly content to continue on as things have continued on for many hundreds of years. They are so afraid of being exposed, in fact, that they have threatened prosecution and death to any that reveal them to the outside world.
Meanwhile, some of the students have begun to realize what is going on. Either by being told by a trusted mentor, or by discovering the secret on their own, they know that vampires are running Caligo. This is a dangerous secret to have. Some have stayed silent, knowing that letting it out would mean certain death. The braver ones have begun to quietly tell their most trusted friends in hopes of devising a way of escape.
There is a small community that is competent of the rebellion. It is composed of a few vampires who wish to help the students they have come to love, and the students who know the secret. Together they are attempting to make a plan, although they must be very discrete.
There has also been a stirring among the vampire hunting community, who have been tipped off to Caligo's existence by a whistleblower, and have begun to infiltrate the school's walls, planting spies and agents within the very workings of Caligo. Some are posing as human students, others as human staff. Because of their rigorous mental training, the hunters are able to shield their thoughts, for the most part, from the vampires lurking in Caligo's shadowed halls. Time will tell whether the hunters will strike, or fall victim to the university's sordid history.

.THE HUMANS .
As you can probably guess, a human in this roleplay is a normal, run-of-the mill human. The humans that attended Caligo University were singled out due to their academic, or artistic, potential and were thus offered a full-ride scholarship in exchange for their admittance. The humans that attended the school, however, are not aware of the dark underbelly, and are ignorant of their fate as a food source for the vampires at the school. While most humans have no immunity to a vampire's saliva or mental prowess, some have a harder mind to 'crack' than others, and some are resistant to the compounds in a vampire's saliva that mask the pain of being bitten. If a human is mentally strong or resistant to a vampire's saliva, they are most often paired with an older vampire, or one that is dominant or strong in their mental abilities. When a human makes it through four years of their undergraduate study, they are manipulated, both mentally and through other methods, to stay within the school. If they refuse, the human is either forcibly turned into a sort of slave to their vampire, Changed into a vampire themselves, or they are killed off.

.THE PLOT.
The plot of this role-play will revolve around a small group of humans and vampires who are either members of the underground rebellion, or wish to keep the school's power structure exactly where it is. While a majority of the humans at Caligo University are unaware of their circumstances, there are a select few that have been let into the secret. Some of these humans continue to interact with their vampire to keep up appearances, while others do so willingly, in search of the pleasure that comes from a vampire's bite. Thane, a senior at Caligo, more or less leads the vampires of the rebellion.
Kane, a sophomore at the university, fervently works to keep the university's power structure just where it is.
The mysterious guild Bruja, known for their skills as vampire hunters, has infiltrated the school. Some of their members pose as students, while other pose as staff; their leader remains cloaked in shadow and mystery, but their mission isn't hard to guess. They seek to dismantle Caligo, slay the vampires, and liberate humanity from tyranny of vampiric control.
Whose side will you be on?

.RULES.
We all hate rules, but sometimes they're necessary. I am only going to write the basics; if you are uncertain or have questions, consult myself or Glow.
1. Follow the forum rules, please. 2. No Godmodding. 3. No perfect characters. 4. * LGBT+ characters are welcome here. 5. Seek someone's permission if you wish to control their character in the case of a vampire and a human. If you do not seek their permission and control their character and make them do something stupid, like jump off a cliff or something, I will be pretty ticked off, and I will report you. 6. ** Please be literate; meaning, write at least a paragraph per post. It's no fun if you type up a gorgeous post, and then someone responds with three lines. I am not asking for a minimum word limit, but I am asking that you use proper grammar, punctuation, and do your best to give people something to respond to. Note that this is a relatively literate-to-advanced role-play.

.DISCLAIMER.
This roleplay is a combination of ideas and draws from two different book series, the first being The Marked from Knight's Academy series by Emerald Barnes, in which the idea of vampire-human pairing is at the heart of the story, and the second being the Vampires in America series by D.B Reynolds, in which the idea of vampire-human mating was drawn from.
These ideas have been replicated for entertainment purposes only, and I claim no ownership over trademarked ideas and plot-lines.
