Eternam Darkness

Updates:
i know there are a lot of vampire RP's out ther but they seam to be what's popular at the monemt I hope that you will find this one enjoyalbe.

We are now oficially Open

Setting: A fairly gothic/industrialized city in Europe, and its surrounding area. (Think underworld type of setting)

Time: In the future at some point.

Story: As of late, two groups have arisen within society, perhaps as a response to one another. From a somewhat peaceful time, a faction has arisen; inquisitors that seek to eradicate evil from the world, often in the name of religion. Such beings as witches and demons, or any creature of the devil, they seek to destroy without thought.

On the other hand, centuries of fear and hiding have brought powerful vampires to seek out one another and discuss happenings in dark tones. These vampires believe they are far superior to humans and have begun to make human slaves for themselves. They want to rule over the humans as the superior race.

While there are others who disagree with both sides. Vampire and human alike who seek only to live in peace or simply to coexist. They believe that each faction is wrong in its beliefs and are often caught up in the battle by accident, but once a part of it, they want to help it end.

And yet there are still others who know nothing of this three-sided war drawn up in secrecy and lies who are oblivious and ignorant to the happenings entirely.

Which side will win? Who will find love or lose it? Who will learn of a new world, or turn from it?

Setting List:

The Grand Church of the Clergy: Only clergy may go here; it is their headquarters and a virtual labyrinth in which they live and discuss their plots and ideas as they attempt to overthrow all evil in the world with their Grand Inquisition.

Inferno’s Gates: an extremely secluded castle that is located in a mountain range. It is the meeting grounds for the vampire faction that wishes to rule over the humans. They may live there or not. Already, a number of human servants are under vampire control at this castle and are little better than slaves.

Lorelei Jones as a means for ensuring human protection founded the organization over three hundred years ago. It consists of normal, good, and neutral humans, as well as some clergy, and good and neutral vampires, who form the backbone of the group.

Gaia Username: Shelby Pierre-san

Occupation: Secretary to her Father. Since she is from one of the older vampire families in Europe her father sends her around to do his biddings.
Physical Description: She looks rather young but she does not dress like the traditional women should. She tends to dress more like the men wearing dark colours. She does this as a way to not draw attention while she is out on the streets at night. Dante stands at 5”5 and weights about 120lbs. She has black hair that runs down to the middle of her back and dark emerald green eyes.
Personality: She is rather hard headed and stubborn but will do anything to please her family. She does not believe that humans should be slaves to their race. But her family does until she becomes head of the family or she must go with their views.
Background: Dante was turned by the man she calles her father. As an infant she was left on the streets to die. Her father took her in and turned her when she became of age (isaround sixteen years old). He did this to keep his family strong. Growing up Dante soon became her father favourite child. She has been at his side for the last 300 years serving him as his second at hand. Her father has already willed her the family if anything were to happen to him. He feels that Dante would make a strong leader in the family. Dante however does not go with her father views on how humans should be treated but she has not expressed her view to anyone but her father and he had threatened to kill her if she did not follow the family views. So for now her thoughts are hidden from everyone else for the fear of her own life and the lives of her family members.

Q&A

Q: Can vampires drink the blood of animals, or just human blood?
A: Vampires can drink the blood of animals; however, they prefer human blood. Animal blood is the equivalent of disgusting, filthy food to humans.

Q: Can a character switch sides?
A: Yes

Q: Can a character be part of one side, but secretly believe more in the other side in secret?
A: Yes, but label the character's side according to their actions. If you want, you can put the side the character believes in/supports in parenthesis by that; ie: ruling (but does not believe in ruling humans.))

Q: How are vampires made?
A: A vampire must drink enough blood from a human that the human will die without major intervention. Then, the vampire must have the human drink about a cup's worth of blood (a n** in which a human tastes a few drops doesn't quite cut it). This will spur the human to be turned.

Q: Is a turned vampire tied to the vampire that turned him/her?
A: Yes, the tie between them is largely that the vampire that turned the human will watch over the newly turned vampire for a year or two and instruct him/her in the ways of the vampire and how to stay safe. Vampire families may also form, but they may or may not be related by bloodline.

Q: Can vampires drink another vampire's blood?
A: Well, yes. However, it would be like a human having a human steak for dinner. Most vampires would never do it.

Q: Can vampires age?
A: Yes, but very slowly. It works out to something like 10 years per 500 years. Some vampires may age more rapidly, some more slowly.

Q: Can vampires breed with each other?
A: No. The closest thing a vampire has to a child is a human he/she turns for the year or so following the turning.

Q: Do vampires have a reflection? Can they see it in a mirror?
A: Yes, they do, and it can be seen in a mirror. In fact, pictures can be taken of them as well.

((I think I'll start))

Lorelei walked through the crowded streets of the underground organization she had created, heading toward her usual place. As she entered through the dark entranceway of the stone head building, she was greeted with respectful welcomes and bows. Stopping at the opposite end of the office, she sat down behind a black desk covered with neat piles of paperwork. Lorelei rested her pale, slender hands upon an open patch, opening the work day out loud, "Okay everyone, let's get down to business."  

[Shelby Pierre-San]

((yeah sorry i would have posted earlier but I had a bit of a headach from working all day. now that I slept for a bit and the Tyonel kicked in I'm good.))

Dante was in her house's library when her lone servant entered and opened the blinds. "The sun has set," she said and left the room.


"Indeed it has," Dante said to herself. She then went to the dining hall. There in the hall was a young girl sitting at the table crying. Dante walked up to the girl. She quietly but slowly pulled the girl's hair back and off to the side. Dante lightly touched the girls neck: it was soft and warm. "I'm sorry," she whispered to the girl and then bit her neck and had her share of blood. Dante picked up her jacket from the table and walked out of the hall and manor. She put on her jacket by the time she got to the gates. It was a short walk into the city; it was there where she had been instructed to go this evening.

Dante walked up and down the streets. Looking for a place to settle herself in for a long night of waiting and watching. Her mission was to find where the Location of the new underground sect of Vampires and to identify their leader. Once that was done she was to report back to her father of her findings.  

[Noltic]

He trekked the dark alleys alone. Fully outfitted for combat, the epitome of efficiency. He was death to all... foe and freind alike.

He was hungry, but he didnt need food. He was tired but he didnt need sleep. He'd also been shot 16 hours ago, and he didnt need treatment.

He knew that those fanatic bastards had experimented on him. Probably some sort of flagellant ritual. He didnt even feel truly alive anymore.

He was tougher than any person, but at what price he was not sure. Hed heard that the flagellants didnt have the ability to love... in his life that was a given. He also couldnt remember how long hed lived, he geussed at 17. The problem with that was that hed boughten a licensed gun that he couldnt remember... that meant he was over 18, because this gun hadnt been made for 12 years. He didnt even care anymore, no one saw through his mask.

He was searching for an underground movement. He had vowed to fight alone, though that didnt mean he couldnt fight for someone elses cause.

The problem was... someone else was looking about too.  

[Dolphinwhale]

((OH NO! I'm being hunted down! Is that Jaws music I hear?
Oh, and my second character shall be done today, most likely.))

Outside the main office building, she could see the many employees bustling about, readying for the day. Lorelei picked up a piece of paperwork, scanning it over. "Manteaux, I want you to ready a group of five and go on this mission," she called to the aging french vampire with the appearance of a fifty-six-year-old human with greying dark brown hair, Manteaux being about two desks away. He came over at a quick walk, taking the paper from her hands and looking it over. He nodded, and keeping the paper, left the main office building to the area of the troops. Well, it's a good thing that the exits leading to the outside world are all well-hidden... Lorelei sighed, continuing to look over paperwork and issue orders.  

[Noltic]

He saw a man appear suddenly. Definately a vampire. Then he saw what had happened. The man walked away adn completely missed his presence. The man was old, he may have been getting rusty.

This though lead him to question why the man who was obviously well dressed had climbed out of a dumpster.

He approached the dumpster and found it locked. He smile at this, it was odd for a dampster to be locked.

He pulled his combat knife from his shoulder holster and broke the lock. After tossing it down the alleyway he jumped in, only to find himself quite literally below the ground.

The door in fornt of him had light spilling from below the it. He smiled and walked over and opened the door.  

[Shelby Pierre-San]

((why yes yes it is... ninja ))

Dante was still looking for a sopt to watch the goings on of the city for the night until she walked past a mysterious man, The look on him told her other wias though that his man was indeed a vamppire. She stoped walking, She had never seen him here before was he a travler or was he a part of the underground? she asked herself. Dante looked over her shoulder to ensure taht he was a little way ahead of where she was. Once she ensured that he was a safe distance away from her she started to follow him down the street.
