Blood and Teeth [ the city of vampires ]
Set in the fictional Paradise City, Maine our roleplay follows the conflict between vampires and vampire hunters. Since its founding, the Stoker Societyโ lead by the Stoker family โhas 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.

Paradise City, Maine [ the setting ]
Founded in the early 16th century by the Morgenstern family, Paradise City has flourished into a thriving cityscape, its origins a distant memory to all but a few. Unbeknownst to many, beneath the city's surface lies a festering underworld crawling with vampires. When the sun sets and only the streetlamps are watching, Paradise City becomes a playground for warring covens and hungry vampires, all vying for food and territory and whatever else their hearts desire.

Vampires [ introduction ]
The existence of vampires permeates history with stories of blood and tragedy. Even with a resurgence of vampires in pop culture as brooding love interests instead of murderous villains, society at large remains blissfully unaware of the truth lurking just below the surface. Not only are vampires real, but they are as dangerous as the stories claim them to be. Their weaknesses are few and their strengths numerous. Few would be so naive as to face them and believe in victory, for vampires have spent millennia honing the skill they excel at: hunting.
[ 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.

Ancient and powerful, the Morgenstern Coven is made up of nine clans, each one devoted to the Morgensterns who have presided over the coven for hundreds of years. After fleeing from Europe in the early sixteenth century, the Morgensterns rebuilt their lives in the new world. With them came a handful other vampiric familiesโ all that remained of the Morgensterns previous coven. From here, the new coven thrived and grew into what it is today.
unclaimed // the patriarch Elijah Morgenstern // the eldest son Alistair Morgenstern // the second son Christian Morgenstern // the third son unclaimed // the fourth son Petra Morgenstern // the only daughter
Nicolรฒ "Nico" Beauregard // born vampire
Though the Morgenstern Coven may be the most powerful, they are far from the only vampires residing in Paradise City. Born and bitten vampires alike mingle in the cities streets, some belonging to covens, others covenless.
Mickey // unknown // covenless Phillis Fitzsimmons // bitten vampire // covenless Hawthorn Dixon // bitten vampire // covenless Abbud Arbeely // bitten vampire // covenless Gemma Wilde // bitten vampire // unclear affiliation Arthur Chambers // bitten vampire // covenless Skylar Brennan // bitten vampire // covenless Gabriel Tabbris // born vampire //police department Brynden Rivers // born vampire // unclear affiliation โบ

The Hunters [ the stoker society ]
Dangerous as they are, vampires are careful to keep their existence a secret, however there are a special few who are privy to the truth. These are the hunters.
Created by the Stoker family, the Stoker Society has dedicated themselves to fighting against the vampire menace terrorizing humanity. Brutal and efficient, even the near-invincible vampires have come to fear them. Even the Morgenstern's begrudgingly acknowledge the Society's prowess. And rightfully so. Most hunters have been trained since infancy in recognizing and neutralizing bloodsucking monsters. [ membership ]
Many hunters are born into the trade. Knowledge and skills are passed on to them by parents and grandparents. This is especially true for the Stoker family, whose job it is to ensure the survival of the Society and its hunters. Leadership is passed down to the eldest child, generation after generation.
However, some come to the Society with no hunter roots. To become a member, one must have previously encountered a vampireโ whether directly or indirectly. They must also be human, so their loyalty is never second-guessed. From there, they are trained until deemed ready to join the hunt. [ tools ]
Vampire weaknesses are few and far between, rendering them almost impossible to kill. However, hundreds of years have taught hunters the few weaknesses these monsters possess.
For starters, all hunters are armed with blades of pure silver and hawthorn-carved handles as these are the two elements capable of interrupting a vampires rapid healing. Recently, flashlights have been added to their arsenal after discovering that bright light (similar to sunlight) elicits seizures in vampires, incapacitating them for at least a short while.

The Prey [ humans ]
The Stoker Society has made it their mission to protect humans from the bloodsucking monsters that stalk the streets of Paradise City. Composed of many capable hunters, the Stoker family sits at the center of the society, both as its founders and its leaders.
unclaimed // the matriarch Grace Stoker // the eldest daughter Edith "Edie" Stoker // the second daughter unclaimed // the third daughter Theresa Stoker // the female cousin unclaimed // the male cousin
Bastien Talbot // hunter Nathanael Demorrison // hunter
And then there's the other humans. Those that are blissfully unaware of the existence of monsters. To them, vampires are stories and nothing else. Their lives are spent ignorant of the monsters living beneath their noses. Until they aren't.
Althea Lesedi // human Phoebe Keddie // human
