Set in the fictional city of Paradise City, Maine our roleplay follows the conflict between vampires and vampire hunters. Since its founding, the Stoker Society━ lead by the Stoker family ━has hunted the vampires of Paradise City. Until recently, it was their job alone to protect the city's human denizens. However, an alliance has been forged between the Stoker Society and their oldest enemy: the Morgenstern Coven. An ancient and powerful coven, with the formation of this alliance, they hope to purge Paradise City of bitten vampires once and for all. so that's my idea. or the gist of it really. basically, the plot will revolve around the tensions between born vampires vs. bitten vampires and the prejudices that lie there as well as vampires vs. vampire hunters. on top of all this is the uneasy alliance between the cities oldest and bitterest enemies: the hunters and the morgenstern coven and what sort of drama will be cooked up by this clashing of worlds.
a list of some ideas just to get them jotted down:
- born vampires hate bitten vampires, viewing them as lesser, watered-down versions of "real" vampires
- most vampires are part of covens. born vampire covens are usually a collective of several families while bitten vampire covens aren't usually blood-related. the morgenstern coven is founded and headed by the morgenstern family but consists of a few other clans loyal to the morgensterns
- the alliance between the hunters and morgenstern coven is still relatively new. in hopes of fostering better relations between the hunters and the vampires, as well as killing more bitten vampires, members have been paired up. these vampire x hunter pairs could be a good source of drama and a fun dynamic to watch overall
- vampires are a secret from the general population
- though the stoker society is lead by the stoker family, many of the hunters aren't related. the only prequesite for becoming a hunter is to have prior knowledge of vampires (this could mean you were attacked by a vamp and escaped, you witnessed an attack, or maybe grandpa was a hunter and told you the secrets of the universe. who knows)
- vampire weaknesses include silver, hawthorn wood, and bright light (it causes seizures). otherwise they are practically immortal.
- to keep their bloodlines pure, marriages are arranged within the morgenstern coven. because of this, marriages to one of the morgenstern children is hotly contested by the coven clans
- stoker family (female dominated) = three daughters + one son + one female cousin
- morgenstern family (male dominated) = four sons + one sister

{ Micky is the living embodiment of confusing. One glance at him is all takes to start asking questions, the first of those usually being "is that a beautiful boy or a handsome girl?". He's thoroughly androgynous, walking the line between feminine and masculine with all the grace of a practiced acrobat. Up close, Mickey is almost dainty in appearance. His fine bone structure and slender neck lend a sense of fragility. He possesses a slim build, bordering on boney. All this, plus the pale, almost bloodless, quality of Mickey's skin gives him a delicate nature, as though he'd crumble into a fine pile of ash if you breathe too close. But, just like everything else about Mickey, this apparent fragility is deceitful. As a vampire, he is a force to be reckoned with and to take him lightly is a mistake one can't afford to make. His mysterious nature doesn't end at his physical appearance, however. Everything about Mickey is one big question mark. Where did he come from? How old is he? Is he bitten or born? Only a few questions about Mickey have solid answers: he is a vampire, he is male, and he has no coven. That is all.}

[ vampire biology and virology ]
There is no question of the vampires superiority to humans. They excel in nearly all aspects. Physically, vampires are stronger, faster, possess keener senses, and have greater stamina. Due to their blood's ability to clot faster, vampires heal at an accelerated rate when compared to humans and are able to survive events that would find lethal (such as being stabbed through the chest).
Though most vampires reproduce among their own population, transformation through biting is common as well. Vampire venom acts as a virus, using the bloodstream as a highway, viral agents rewrite the genome of every tissue until the victim's psychical makeup is identical to that of a vampire.
[ lifestyle and covens ]
Considering their long, near-immortal lifespans, it's not uncommon for vampires to seek out companionship and ease the loneliness that comes with a long life. Oftentimes, this companionship is found in the form of covens. Because most covens are born from family ties, they often operate as such. They live, hunt, and work together. Typically one vampire serves as the Patriarch or Matriarch of the coven, acting as an authority figure. Below them are sons or daughters (or not if the coven is made up of bitten vampires) as well as cousins, aunts, and uncles. The Patriarch/Matriarch authority is very rarely disputed.
Covens offer a sense of belonging and security. The bigger and stronger the coven, the more security and food they can offer. Though sometimes covens feud over hunting territory, it's not uncommon for them to merge and thus become bigger and stronger together.

Koi! Beeb! Howdy doody my friend. My wonderful character pinterest is going great.
I wanna bring back Althea! She's such an interesting character. She'd either be a no-nonsense loner vampire or a human blissfully aware of everythinf, too lazy to fight it, but totally not afraid to abuse the fact that some strong vampire totally can open the pickle jar for her. Or something. I'll figure out Althea's place someday.
I was thinking of making another character. I've had some inspiration for a young man who is...not sure how to describe him.

if you're looking for a place to put some peeps mickey could use some friends! well.... not friends so much as an entourage to follow him around and tell him his hair looks great.

Post by shades on Dec 14, 2017 18:51:56 GMT -5
Hmmm. I don't think Althea would mean it but she would totally sign and note he used some new hair product of curled his hair a new direction and then have him open the pickle jar.

and he'd refuse to open the pickle jar because he just got his nails done
