Noblesse Oblige
"Transient guests are we...."
Once again, my desire for a Vampire Hunter D roleplay has increased, so I have separated it from my vampire thread in general, because...well, D doesn't follow the standard vampire lore I usually like to use.
Vampire Hunter D has two amazing anime movies, 6+ manga, and over 20 short novels, and a comic book being released based on the story "Message From Mars". Despite this elaborate history, I'm not asking my partner to know all of this - I don't. The movies, and maybe some of the manga or novels are good enough, and then use of the wikis as necessary.
So, I'm not all that interested in using D or the Sacred Ancestor - I am down with it, but I have no inclination to play D, though I could be coerced into playing the Sacred Ancestor or D periodically in an RP, or "sharing" the characters if they become necessary (read: we both play them as necessary for the plot, like NPCs, haha).
I'm more interested in using this wonderful Steampunk-Western-Post Nuclear War world with Fucking Castles and Spaceships than anything, really.
Rather than plot ideas, I have included below characters I feel would fit into this world. Most of them can fit together, and I am happy to plot story-ideas with an interested partner!
I also create a lot of characters, so if none of these fit any plot ideas you may have for the story, or if we get to brainstorming and they just don't work - I make lots of characters. I will happily make new ones ^-^. The Genders of any character idea below can also be adapted.
So please, take a look at what I have to offer! Also, please read my rules, there is a code there! This isn't to trick you, I just want you to make sure we'd be compatible!
1. Don't God-Mod. In other words, don't make my character speak, don't make my character, don't make my character take damage, and don't control my character. If you want something to go a certain way for plot purposes, just PM me and ask. Usually, I accept "god-modding" during travel and the like. It is usually acceptable to assume movement if a character is already committed to the journey.
2. Please be able to play both genders, and play multiple roles. Your main character(s) may be just male or just female, but I expect all the side characters and NPCs to have life and flavor, too.
3. On the note of characters: I will always play one female character. So, be aware of that. With that said, I usually also always play one male character, and I do MxM, MxF, and FxF pairings, though I prefer MxF.
4. 4. I only RP on threads, (or GDocs in rare cases), so no PM, kik, discord, e-mail, or other rps with me. So that I know you’ve read the rules this far, please tell me about your favorite food!
5. Please be able to write more than a couple of sentences as responses to me. I have tried to do “simple” RPs, but I end up not feeling motivated to respond or continue the RP. I will need you to be able to write a paragraph or two, each post, at least.
6. PM if you are interested. The only reason for you not to PM me is if you cannot do so due to the fact you haven't reached 24 hours/10 posts.
Guidelines:
1. I do not like to be hassled for posts. Especially if I have already posted that day or the day before. Do not bother me for posts until at least two days have passed. Otherwise, I will start to resent our RP and lose interest in it.
2. I enjoy OOC talk, however I will not respond to "hi" or "-poke-" or equivalents. Have substance to the chatter, even if it just asking "How are you?".
3. Do not bump our thread if I have not posted. I will not post out of spite. I have a problem with this, I acknowledge it, I'm not fixing it.
4. On that matter, please keep OOC to PMs and not on our IC thread. IC is for posting. If you have a question, concern, or comment, just shoot me a PM.
5. In general, I do not enjoy immediate romances or "slice-of-life" RPs, so do not come to me expecting I'll do either. I may make rare exceptions.
A Noble who remained on Earth, after the purge, and resides in a Frontier town. The Noble was a "made" vampire, so long ago, that most just assume they are Pure. Only their Maker knows the truth. The Noble lives behind an "Iron Curtain", either not letting anyone in, or not letting anyone leave. They has mutants as guards, mutants they have lovingly crafted, but of course...they are a Noble. And there is quite the bounty on their head (especially if this is a variant where none leave their town). They live by the saying, 'Transient Guests Are We'.
it is also possible that they have been removed from their town - the Maker has taken over it, and they escaped.
Ties to the Maker: The Maker created them.
Ties to the Werewolf: They created the Werewolf.
Ties to the Painted Doll: The Painted Doll could be hunting them.
A Noble of pure blood, older than Jesus by far, who created the Noble indicated in another tab ages and ages ago. The Maker fell into a sleep after the Noble purge to protect themselves, and has woken to a world with promise - many vampires are gone, and most hunters are not prepared to deal with vampires of their caliber. The Maker intends to claim what is theirs- which, of course, is all that the Noble owns. They defy the saying, 'Transient Guests Are We'.
This could also be a variant where the Maker has taken over the Noble's town already.
Ties to the Noble: The Maker created them.
Ties to the Werewolf: The Werewolf wants the Maker dead.
Ties to the Painted Doll: The Painted Doll could be hunting them, or the Maker could be their creator - or both.
Made by the Noble, and forever their loyal guardian wolf. The Werewolf knows what they once were, and knows how the Noble took advantage of them, but they do not mind. The Wolf wants to preserve the utopia they live in, and preserve the Noble, for they gave the Wolf another chance at life. The Wolf is the leader of the guards, and takes no shit from anyone, but tries to remain cordial and polite at all times. A knight in wolf's clothing, a relic of a better time.
Ties to the Noble: Created by the Noble.
Ties to the Painted Doll: Could be their enemy, on behalf of the Noble, or could work with them.
Ties to the Maker: Arch-enemy.
A mutant of the Barbarois, known for their skin that flows with tattoos that dance upon their skin. The Doll worked with the Barbarois for generations, but left them one day to see the world, and try to remember who they were, before the Barbarois. They have memories, though few. Sighisoara. A Noble. Tepes. The Doll uses itself as a lure in a group of hunters to kill. Their blood is sweet, but poison, and they controls it like a weapon to destroy.
Ties to the Noble: Could be on a hunt to destroy them, or could be hired by them.
Ties to the Werewolf: Ties through the Noble.
Ties to the Maker: The Painted Doll could be hunting them, or the Maker could be their creator - or both.
