[{ Itโs totally fine if you havenโt seen it, Iโm not gonna attempt to bring in any canon characters or anything cause thatโs a whole ballpark Iโm not trying to immerse myself in.
Basically I just want to use the setup of the show to get something started. Itโs set in New Orleans (or we could change the town, idrc) and they town is slithering with your typical supernaturals (vampires, werewolves, and witches). Vampires and witches are fighting because the vampires forbid the use of magic in the city due to the witches many revolts against them and use lethal force to do so. Werewolves are well... pretty much shunned and fought by everybody. If itโs okay if I play the girl main character again, I was thinking of being a witch. You can have multiple main characters if you want, and Iโm sure Iโll come up with side characters but yeah ^-^ Also my idea is witch x vamp but itโs up to you what youโd want your main to be. }]

(I've seen trailers for the show, so I kinda get the basic gist of it with the supernaturals and such.
I'm totally up for playing a vamp, you'll just have to give me a bit to read up on this type of vampire. So many different versions...I'll probably have a secondary character, my vamp's sire at least.)

[{ Okay! Itโs basically a typical vampire, super speed, senses, strength, immortality, can only die from stakes, fire, you get the gist. Also they canโt go in sunlight without a special daylight ring (which has to be made by a witch) and all vamps have a form of compulsion. But Iโm sure youโre already gathering that if youโre looking it up. Iโll also throw any relevant vampire info in as we rp so you donโt have to do a bunch of research ~
My idea for the start is that my characters coven of witches are sick of not doing magic and the vamps are sick of not being able to go out in the day, so some people from my coven are sent to strike a deal. I was thinking your main character could either be the leader of the vamps or someone higher up thats involved. }]

(I'm currently reading up on it. Pretty typical jargon stuff, but a few bits that are good to know.)
(I'd say my boy is probably going to be a higher up, not the leader though, but maybe one of the first sired by the leader? So a clan that has kinda become a family?)

A light rain fell from the dark New Orleans sky. A duo of bodies shuffled quickly and quietly through the back alleys. A girl and a boy, similar in looks and age, which made a lot of sense considering they were twins. Doe brown eyes, olive toned skin with a smattering of freckles, and tousled dark hair that ended on the nape of the boys neck and nearly reach the girls waist. The biggest difference was their height, with the girl barely reaching five three and the boy towering at almost six foot.
Alessi Lennox looked at her brother and frowned. โWeโre literally going to die,โ she complained, kicking a can that littered the street. Adrian frowned back, โNo, weโre not. You know how the vamps here feel about butchering kids.โ
Alessiโs worried expression deepened, โWow, what a great coincidence weโre eighteen now!โ Her brother was right, though, as there would be less hatred pent up against the youngest coven members than the older ones that had been fighting the vampires for what seemed like forever. As the sole children of the covenโs leader, it made sense for them to be sent out for a mission like this. Still Alessi couldnโt help but feel like there was a giant target on their backs.
As they neared the meeting spot, she felt a chill go up her spine and magic tingle on her fingertips. Vampires could โforbidโ it all they wanted, if they pulled any funny business they were getting fire balls to the face.

"Hey Ozzy, look what we have here, I guessed right! Those old crones sent a couple of brats to handle this instead of coming themselves!" Came the harsh laughter of a young man, sitting atop a building before he jumped down to stare at him. While this young vampire with black hair and green eyes wasn't known himself, the companion he spoke of was. The Silvano Clan had risen too power some years ago, led by Kora Silvano, who sired all those within her clan.
The man that stepped from the shadows along the younger vampire did not look much older than the twins, perhaps a year or so older, but the way he held himself oozed many, many more years of life. He wasn't particularly tall, perhaps 5'11 at most, but he was muscular, likely from a human life of physical labor as life. More of a tan or beige skin tone with russet colored hair kept rather long for a man and tied at the nape of his neck to keep it from his face. This was the man known as Ozias Silvano, ruthless and quick on his feet, handling most of the affairs outside of the Clan.
"Yes Thomas, I can see that." He rumbled without much of a look at the younger vampire, staring at the twins with a hard, steel gray gaze. "Lets get this over with quickly, I have no interest in being out here when these clouds break and the sun comes up." He said as he watched them, stepping closer and methodically. While Thomas moved quickly and without reservations, Ozias was calculated and conscious of the potential humans around.

โHello Ozias,โ Adrian greeted formally as the twins stepped into the light of a street lamp, keeping their distance from the pair of vampires. Adrian recognized him easily, Ozias was particularly feared among his coven due to his ruthless, no-nonsense nature and connections to the leader of the Silvano Clan. He then raised an eyebrow and turned to Thomas, โAnd.... hello to... you.โ He said with a bit of disrespect, having clearly heard the jab the man had remarked about the twins.
Alessi bit her cheek to keep from giggling. They had decided Adrian would do the talking here, as Alessi had a habit of well... not saying the right thing, or not being very nice about it. She was mostly there as back up. Her magic was more advanced than her brothers, particularly her fire magic, which was no friend to a vampire.
โI trust you have considered our peace treaty?โ He asked, straightening his back to look more intimidating. Alessi rolled her eyes, stuffing her hands into the pocket of her raincoat. He literally sounds exactly like dad. Can we just throw these dumb rings at them, make them do the spell, and leave?
On cue, Alessi produced a handful of daylight rings from her pocket, holding them up to the light. Adrian began speaking again, โThese daylight rings are proof that we can work together. This is all we have for now, if you will agree to the treaty, we will create more. Which requires a blood spell, as Iโm sure youโre aware of.โ

"Hey, hey, hey! Speak with respect you little brat! Did you not hear my na-" Thomas started, but he never finished that sentence. There was a look of pure annoyance that crossed Ozias's face, one that spoke volumes of I am done with this. There was one moment where the two vampires stood there, and the next Ozias was a couple feet away with Thomas on the ground after having been quite literally slammed into a nearby wall.
"Did you not hear what I said?" Ozias snarled at the downed vampire, dusting his hands off as if he had gotten them dirty, eyes seeming to struggle to remain gray and veins starting to appear around his eyes before he turned away again and looked at the twins. He did not seem phased by Adrian's attempt to look more intimidating, however his eyes were on Alessi. "Speak your mind daughter of Lennox, I can practically see the words on your tongue." He said.

Alessi tilted her head, blinking her large brown eyes in an expression that her father described as her โbambi eyesโ. He also described it as more infuriating than it was endearing, considering she usually packed some biting words behind it. โWow! You guys can read minds too? I didnโt know Twilight was that accurate.โ
Adrian elbowed his sister in the ribs hard enough for her to gasp. Seriously? his expression read. Alessi diverted her eyes from the vampires, clasping her hands behind her back and swaying from side to side innocently. Though a still smirk still resided on her lips.
Adrian sighed and ran a hand through his hair. โClearly, I was sent to talk for a reason. My sister is only here in case you decided to start trouble... Speaking of which..โ His tone hardened, โAre we agreeing to this, or not? Letโs stay on topic.โ
Alessiโs playful expression sobered. Oh. Things are getting serious now.

Ozias looked at Alessi when her words blurted out as they did. "I do not believe our mind reading abilities are quite as you believe they are. Edward Cullen is fictional for a reason." He rumbled with ease, as if the older vampire had actually read the books. Granted, there was a likely chance he had, as he found some vague amusements in what different humans concocted as to what a vampire could and couldn't do.
He glanced back at Thomas, who was only just then starting to attempt to stand back to his feet, coughing up blood as Ozias did not hold back when he slammed him against the wall. "Trouble you say? It takes a lot of boredom for me to cause trouble as you depict. That fool over there, he's just a witness, and if he tries something, I'll kill him myself." He said. He disappeared with speed, only to stop mere centimeters from Adrian.
"Lady Silvano agrees with the terms on one condition: I must verify that the rings will indeed work as intended. Those rings only work if they are enchanted to specific vampires, as you are well aware." Ozias said, his gaze unwavering. He knew as well as any that those rings could be fakes.

Adrianโs tough stance faltered when Ozias suddenly rushed towards him and he took a surprised step back. Alessi bristled at the fear that appeared on her brotherโs face. Powerful witches as they might be, a vampire like this could rip them apart in seconds.
โHey!โ Alessi growled, and without thinking she reached a hand out to pull back Oziasโs wrist. Witches could always sense the magic in other magical beings, and the energy that ran through vampires was cold and dark. It made her shudder. It was very different from the life and light magic usually filled her with. She jerked her hand back and avoided eye contact with the vampire, suddenly sheepish. โSorry. But back off. Weโll agree to your stupid deal. But in return no attacking witches until you know weโre telling the truth. Okay?โ
Feeling more confident, she turned her dark and now unwavering gaze back to meet Oziasโs. However, she knew he could probably hear her heart pounding in her chest.
Wow, turns Iโm the one trying to get us killed..

Ozias never even attempted to reach for Adrian, he just stood there, his hands at his sides the entire time. Rather, he did seem to enjoy the fear on Adrian's face at his sudden appearance in front of him, and he could hear Thomas stop breathing for half a second in the background. There was a reason Ozias was the second-in-command; his command over his own emotions and feelings and the way he seemed to keep calm no matter what was happening, even scared the other top-ranking vampires in the clan. Then again, he was also the first sired by Kora, therefore the oldest besides her.
He did pause and looked at Alessi however, seeing the way she grabbed his wrist. It was strange really, he wasn't used to others grabbing him as she did, and certainly not someone telling him to back off. "Hum? Seems the daughter has more backbone then the son." He mused before taking a step back and bowing his head a bit. Yes, he could hear her heart pounding, and he found great amusement in it, and the look on her face when she sensed the darkness in him. "Enchant one of those rings to Ozias Silvano." He rumbled simply. Whether it was now or later, he would be one of the first to receive one in the clan anyways.

Adrian stiffened at Oziasโs comment. Yes, it was true that Alessi was the bolder of the two siblings. She had no issue speaking her mind, almost a fault, didnโt mind using her power for her benefit, and could be a bit of a bully (though heโd get hit for saying that). He considered his rationale and composure to be a plus, which is why he took care of most things in the coven his father couldnโt. Still, he could see the prideful way his father looked at his fiery twin in a way that he didnโt look at him. He glowered at his sister, though in this moment she was only trying to protect him.
Alessi didnโt notice, however, because she was too busy trying to take control of the situation. โFine.โ She deposited all the rings back into her pocket except one. They had truthfully enchanted the rings to allow the vampires to walk in the Sun, but she would enchant the dang thing again and even add a little engraving of his name with a heart and a flower if it would shut him up.
She closed her eyes and held it between her palms, murmuring a few words as her hands glowed with a blue light. Alessi then practically shoved the ring into Oziasโs hand. โHere. Maybe this will teach you vampires that not everyone is out to get you.โ

Ozias watched her with some amusement, even more so when she shoved the ring into his hand. Honestly, that part he did just to annoy the girl, he could believe that the rings were enchanted for the clan already. The fire in this girl though, there was something there that just made him want to poke the fire. He slid the ring on his finger after a moment of looking at it and inspecting the gem inside. He had no qualms about messing with witches, though he had very few interactions with them typically.
"I am only doing as my sire has ordered me to do. I would not be here otherwise." Ozias said with a simple shrug before glancing at Thomas. "Inside with you, least you burn to a crisp."
Thomas stared at him, "Ozzy, to leave you with those two..." He started.
"You know, it has been a great long time since I have seen a vampire burn to death. Perhaps I should allow these two to get some target practice in, and claim I saw nothing but an idiotic vampire walking into his own death." Ozias said with ease as he looked at Thomas. The younger vampire seemed to pale before disappearing out of sight.

Adrian cringed at Oziasโs comment to his companion, and naturally Alessi broke into a small grin, even though the vampire was annoying the life out of her faster than he could drink it. She would certainly never do something that drastic to someone without reason, but she didnโt mind seeing someone like Thomas put in his place.
Adrian crossed his arms and glanced between his sister and Ozias, clearly not finding the humor in their moment of malicious comradery. โI believe this means weโre done here. You keep your word, and weโll keep ours. We can meet here again tomorrow. Letโs go, Alessi.โ
โI thought youโd never ask,โ she said, spinning on her toes to walk away. The rain had picked up, and something with golden eyes that had been lurking in the shadows had other ideas. In a blur, a large black shadow crashed into Alessi, sending her small form into the dirt. Werewolves. Without time to even think straight or do magic, she could only scream and smack at the creatureโs face with her hands to keep it from lunging at her throat.
In a second, Adrian performed a spell to send the wolf flying off his sister as more emerged from where the first came. โWhat the h3ll?!โ He shouted, completely bewildered and caught off guard.

Ozias watched them go for a moment before turning away and starting to return to where he could meet his companion and return to the clan before the sun would rise. Before he arrived however, he tipped his head back to the sound and smell of something being amiss. "Stupid dogs." He rumbled after a moment, disappearing into the shadows of the night.
Typically, he'd leave the twins to either survive or die to the pack of werewolves without caring what happened to them. However, right now he was in the middle of an important treaty agreement with them, and could not afford for one of them to die or become gravely wounded with his presence so near. That, and the scent of blood would likely drive him mad anyways. So, he begrudgingly tracked the scent of the twins to find them.
He didn't give much thought to it as he straight barreled into one of the wolves as it came out of hiding, showing his true face as he glanced at the twins. "Less talking and more magic you moron! There is no reasoning with these mongrels!" He snapped as he wrestled with the wolf he had at hand.

Alessi sat on the ground for a moment, stunned, her long rain soaked hair covering her face. She shoved it out of the way and became acutely aware of the tears in her coat and the claw marks under it. It stung, but not enough for her brain to stop whirring into motion. Though the moon was obscured beneath the rain clouds, she knew the moon wasnโt full. Wolves could only transform under the full moon, so this made no sense.
Snapping out of her shock and confusion due to the shouts of Adrian and Ozias, she stumbled to her feet and ran towards the fight. She used the same spell Adrian had saved her with to send the wolf flying off Ozias. Running between the two men, she held her hands up and created a ring of fire surrounding the trio, the unnatural flames unaffected by the rain and sending the wolves scurrying back.
โA... are you insane?โ Alessi yelled at the wolves, not sure what else to muster up. In answer, one of the wolves twisted into human form, and glared back at the group.
โYou vampires and witches think youโre so much better than us,โ he hissed, โYou think you can sit here and make deals about who can and canโt run the town leaving us with no say. Just like you always have.โ
Neither Alessi or Adrian recognized the werewolf accusing them. Then again, theyโd never encountered their kind. They knew they existed, but typically, they avoided the witches. The two siblings looked at each other in panic. Adrian had already sent a distress spell to their coven, but right now, they were greatly outnumbered.

Ozias grunted softly as the wolf was thrown off him, watching the furry beast go flying before twisting and jumping to his feet. He didn't bother checking for wounds, most of them were already gone by the time he was on his feet again, his russet colored hair now flowing freely down to the end of his shoulder-blades as he watched the fire spring around them.
A small hiss escaped between his teeth, a natural reaction because fire was also bad for vampires. He couldn't help it, fire and vampires did not go together. When he watched the werewolf transform, he stepped forward, putting himself between the twins and the wolf. "Who said that is what our deal was about? I can certainly tell you that this was not a deal of running the town." He said, shaking his head. "Not to mention Lady Silvano has tried to include the wolves in our talks in the past, however the last time we did so, we lost three of our clan members. But, the better question is whether you are truly a wolf or not, as no ordinary werewolf can turn outside of a full moon."

[{ This lore Iโm making isnโt super accurate to the show, but then again, this is why itโs our roleplay and not The Originals xD }]
The wolf scoffed. โUnless you are blind, I can assure you we are very much werewolves. Weโre just no longer bound by the full moon curse that the likes of you,โ he gestured towards the witch twins, โPlaced on us. And I know all about your meeting, you want to miraculously make a pact between your two kinds so you can run around doing whatever you wish and leave us at the bottom of the barrel. Again. Youโre all idiots for even thinking that will work.โ
Alessi blinked in surprise. The full moon curse was an ancient curse that was placed by a very powerful witch. She couldnโt imagine anyone from her coven being able to break it, and besides that point, did that mean the wolves had a witch that powerful working with them? What could anger the wolves enough to blatantly attack them like this? She struck an accusatory glare at Ozias. Surely it something to do with the vampires, it always was. Theyโd been ruining her life for as long as she could remember. In her anger, the wall of fire dimmed out, but the wolves had begun to retreat as they felt their threat had been made.
Just in time for the New Orleans coven to begin closing in, their collective spell incapacitating the remaining wolves who would surely be taken for questioning. Theo Lennox emerged and rushed towards his two children, who looked rather like deer in the headlights. His dark eyes met Oziasโs and he lifted his chin. โIโm not sure what happened here, but I have a feeling youโre why theyโre still alive. Thank you.โ
That was quite enough for Alessi. โHe didnโt even do anything ,โ she protested, looking very on the verge of tears. Her clothes were a bloody mess, and she was starting to resemble a drowned rat on the verge of a breakdown. Sheโd never been in danger like that and felt as though the vampires had everything to do with it. She just wanted to go home and forget this night happened. Theo ushered her away and Adrian went to follow, but made sure to turn and look at Ozias first.
โTomorrow. Be here.โ
[{ Rip Alessi the wolves broke her. After your reply should we skip to the next day or? }]

(That is fine XD)
Ozias listened to the wolf, though his eyes were narrowed and dark red. It didn't make sense, what witch was stupid enough to break the curse on the wolves? That would be the same stupidity as to break the curse on the vampires. Nothing about this situation made sense, and left the older vampire confused on what was happening. I will have to let Lady Silvano know what is going on. He grumbled to himself mentally.
When the rest of the coven arrive, he looked around before realizing his true face was still on full view for everyone to see. Shaking his head and rolling his jaw, he relaxed himself to let it settle back to his normal appearance. He stared at Theo, not even sure what he was talking about either. He just barrel-rolled into a wolf that was about to lunge at the twins. If he hadn't, he believed the treaty might have been called off. "As she said, I did nothing in particular of note." He said after a moment of thought.
He turned to walk away, the back of his shirt in complete, bloody tatters where it looked like he took a straight blow of claws, but the only time his back had been exposed was when he had arrived, he had originally stood between the wolves and twins before barreling into the one. "I'll be there." He said, waving the hand with the ring on it.
(That's fine with me)

The coven left the twins to rest after returning home that night, but their father drilled them with questions the next morning. Alessi made a mental note to move out as soon as possible (she was eighteen now after all) and managed to escape her father and her brother before either of them made her lose her mind. She was now currently seated at an outdoor cafe on Bourbon Street drinking a cup of coffee. She didnโt even like coffee, but it was way too early to commence in day drinking to drown out the thoughts of last night.
Besides the whole fearing for her life thing, she was quite embarrassed that sheโd shown weakness in front of anyone, much less a vampire, and Alessi Lennox certainly didnโt cry. At least New Orleans was never silent, and the sound of bands playing up and down the street did something to ease her mind.
Every once in a while her eyes darted around nervously, but she highly doubted a wolf would make an attack in the middle of the city in the middle of the day. Vampires would certainly be no issue either, unless it happened to be the annoying one from last night. She shuddered at the thought.

Well, Ozias certainly wasn't expecting to run into one of the twins again. At the moment he was just out and about with nothing to really do. It had been so long since he had been out during the day, that he honestly forgot what daylight activity was like. Instead, he strolled down the street with his hands shoved into the pockets of his leather jacket, sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
He started to stroll into the cafe to get a drink, preferably something strong, when he caught a glance of Alessi sitting just outside of it. He stopped and looked at her for a moment before glancing over at the nearby musicians. He mused about the situation before deciding to let it slide and disappear inside to get a cup of coffee for himself. He certainly didn't want the coffee, but he couldn't very well get a real drink in the middle of the day.

Alessi absently settled her chin on her hand and stared out across the crowd until her eyes settled on one horrifyingly familiar face. Oh you have got to be kidding me. Is my life a joke? Her narrowed gaze followed Ozias and she felt irritation wash over her. Is he following me? Or is this city just certainly not big enough for the two of us? What kind of weird vampire drinks coffee anyways? Determined to know the answer, she jumped up from her table, cup of coffee forgotten. She stormed inside after him, marched up behind him, and tapped his shoulder.
โUh, out on a coffee run are we Mr-Old-And-Creepy? Hmmm? Or maybe youโre just following me.โ She accused. Her attitude earned them a few curious glances and she lowered her voice.

Ozias smelled her familiar scent before feeling the tapping on his shoulder. He ignored the looks as he removed his sunglasses and bluntly ignored her for a moment, at least long enough to order his coffee and a bagel. "Hum? I'm fairly certain I've been coming to this coffee shop longer than you've been alive." He said simply, pulling out a credit card and paying for his drink and food before taking his receipt and stepping to the side to wait before looked at her again.
Granted, this time he actually looked at her. The long, flowing hair, the doe-like eyes. The way she reacted to his presence, all of which amused him in some form or fashion. "Unless you volunteer as tribute, Miss Alessi, then I must settle with a classic coffee and bagel." He said with a simple shrug.

Alessi stepped aside with him, not ready to drop it yet. โA-โ she cut off the word โvampireโ but gave him a knowing look, โThatโs read Twilight, the Hunger Games, and eats bagels and coffee. How... cultured?โ She crossed her arms and frowned, then nodded to his ring. โOh, I canโt help but notice youโve yet to go up in flames. Youโre welcome for that. Guess that means...โ she twirled her finger and a spoon in a cup of coffee on the counter twirled on its own. No one else around saw it, but she knew Ozias would, and would get her memo.
