  A vampire story set in modern day New York. Murder mystery meets power struggle, meets criminal behavior. If you're interested, leave a comment here to let me know !

  INTRODUCTION.​

  Millions of humans call New York City home, and a handful of vampires do too. Hidden in plain sight, three vampire clans have called the city home, and for the most part, have been able to live there secretly and peacefully, blending in with human society, and in some cases, even becoming prominent members of their society. When the leader of the most powerful of the three clans is mysteriously murdered, the once peaceful arrangement that existed is threatened to be shattered. It's a murder mystery that has the potential to lead to war in its own right, but with tensions brewing between the clans for centuries, maybe that was inevitable either way.

  RULES.​

  
  -This is a character-driven story. Creativity is a must ! You should be able to write a couple paragraphs per post.
  
  -Not asking you to treat this like your day job, but don't keep people waiting on your post for more than a few days. Communication is key; just let me know if you're going to be busy and we can write you out for the scene.
  
  -There's nothing worse than a roleplay overrun by one person, right? Let's keep the godmodding to a minimum, y'all (or... to a nonexistent level). While every character will have their strengths and weaknesses, no character will be particularly more powerful than another overall. I ask that you initially write your character to have no supernatural strengths outside of the ones that they will all have (immortality (they don't age and can recover from almost any injury), unnatural strength (stronger than humans), unnatural senses (better sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch compared to humans), unnatural speed (faster than a human)). I will allow people to add one additional, unique supernatural power after the character has been accepted.

  ROLES.​

  
  

  THE LUCINIUS CLAN.​

  The clan that has the oldest roots as an established clan, The Lucinius Clan is known for its power, prestige, and elegance. They're the strongest advocates for coexisting peacefully with humans, though that may just be because they've mastered the art of dominating the race financially, all while managing to paint the picture of being the most peaceful of the clans. It's easy to want to insist that everyone play by the rule book when you're the one writing it.
  
  Leader: (or in this case, most likely successor to the leader position, since their leader was just killed)

  THE VENTARI CLAN.​

  The Ventari Clan is known for its intelligence, and the way it moves in silence. Between the three clans, they tend to be the ones that fill the peacekeeper role, seeking middle ground between the other two clans, and they're quite possibly the only reason that peace has been maintained in the vampire world for so long. While they paint the picture of being neutral players, what better way to set the playing field up in your favor than to ensure that both sides think you're on their team?

  THE ABARRA CLAN.​

  The troublemakers. The ones who claim to be most in touch with their true selves: their vampire selves. If The Abarra Clan had it their way, there would be no society ruled by humans. They would exert their power as the true dominant race, and keep their warm-blooded subordinates around just as a food source. They haven't gotten it their way, at least not yet, but just because they don't go around killing humans in broad daylight doesn't mean they're angels. If they're forced to hide their identities in the human world, then the least they can do is dominate the human black market, profiting off of everything that a peaceful human society would want outlawed.

**Just some FAQs that have come up . Since there are a lot of variations between vampire stories, this is how the vampire world in our story will function. Let me know if you have any other questions so I can add them here!

Spoiler

DIET

Spoiler

• Can vampires eat human food?
• Yes, they can consume human food. It holds no nutritional value to them, but it won’t harm them either. Many have phased out of the habit, while others still partake in the human dining rituals either to blend in with their human counterparts, or just as a habit that they never broke.
• Can vampires consume animal blood, or must it be human?
  • Vampires can consume animal blood, but it isn’t as fulfilling as human blood, and they would need more of it to survive.
• How frequently do the vampires feed?
  • As an estimate, every vampire typically needs to feed on human blood once every three days or so, with each feed consisting of approximately 0.5-1 liter of blood. It’s not enough blood that it would cause the average human to go into shock or die, but it’s still a fairly substantial amount.
• How do the vampires feed?
  • The vampires have venom that is released when their fangs meet human flesh, which disables the human for about thirty minutes, or so. It renders them unconscious, essentially, so they have no recollection of the attack or what happened, and the venom has healing properties that cause the puncture wound to be barely noticeable by the time the human wakes up. It’s forbidden for the vampires to feed within city limits, as it’s too risky with the dense population, law enforcement presence, and surveillance. Some vampires travel out of the city to more rural areas (which isn’t a horrible commute given their enhanced speed). Others take advantage of the underground blood harvesting business that the Lucinus clan facilitates, and consumes “organically sourced” blood the classy way, right out of a cup, as if it were wine.
• Can a vampire kill a human while feeding on them?
  • Yes, it would be entirely possible for them to overfeed on a smaller sized human and accidentally kill them. Obviously frowned upon, but likely happens from time to time with inexperienced vampires.

WEAKNESSES​

• How can a vampire die?
  • A vampire can die by being stabbed in the heart with a silver stake, by being decapitated, or by being submerged in fire. Sunlight is extremely hazardous to a vampire, and unprotected exposure would be incredibly painful, but it would be more of a prolonged torture than it would be a death sentence.
• Can the vampires go out during the day?
  • Yes, as long as they have a Daylight amulet on them, they can be exposed to sunlight with no repercussions. The daylight amulet is made of a lapis lazuli gemstone enchanted by witches

BECOMING A VAMPIRE​

• Can vampires reproduce?
  • No, vampires cannot reproduce. All vampires are turned after being bitten by another vampire.
• How does a vampire turn a human?
  • In order to turn a human, the vampire must bite the human, fully drain them of their blood, and then bite them again, this time injecting them with a small amount of substance that is composed of vampire DNA. The human will then need to feed on human blood within 24 hours or else they will die.

THE CLANS​

• The clans in our story are essentially small subsets of bigger clans. For example, the Lucinius clan might have a network of 5,000 vampires across the globe, but throughout time, as the numbers of each clan grew, they knew that they needed to disperse in order to maintain a level of secrecy. Small colonies of each clans exist across the globe, though the sub-clans in New York are currently the most powerful colonies representing their clans.​
• Each clan probably has 20-30 vampires in New York City. There are not any other vampires within the city.

 

[RayneIlStorm]

Can I be the leader of the Ventari clan since I'm the only one in it?

 

[TheRedPenguin]

I'm interested in being a Lucinius Clan Member! This looks sick

 

[sprouhtt]

I am very interested in the THE VENTARI CLAN.

Especially, maybe the leader in that clan

[RayneIlStorm]

Oh! If you'd like the leader spot, I could totally change my role, but you'd better be a good leader *wink wonk*

 

[sprouhtt]

Oh! If you'd like the leader spot, I could totally change my role, but you'd better be a good leader *wink wonk*

Oh, snap, competition!

I literally was going down the comments to see if anyone had requested to be the leader for the Ventari and I didn't see your comment until you pointed it out haha!

You can be the leader since you asked first, I have no problem with that! I can just be a member haha

 

[RayneIlStorm]

Oh! Well thank you! I wanted to be the leader since I was the only one in the Ventari for a while and I was, like, "Well, if I'm the only one I guess I'll be the most powerful one then!"

 

[sprouhtt]

Oh! Well thank you! I wanted to be the leader since I was the only one in the Ventari for a while and I was, like, "Well, if I'm the only one I guess I'll be the most powerful one then!"

hehe, and you will be a great leaddaaaa!

 

[Kabobtoss]

Interested in Lucinius!

 

[electric]

All roles are open to competition, I'm going to go with the application that looks like it will fit the role best and not just the first one submitted, so multiple people are welcome to try for roles until it's explicitly stated that it's been filled . Please make sure to be detailed in your profile, as if I've never written with you before, that's all I have to "judge" your writing skills to ensure you'll be able to contribute to the story and all. Looking for a few paragraphs for both the personality and history section, which shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Thanks all - looking forward to reading the sheets as they come in !

 

[starstruck]

Decided to go with a Ventari male

 

[RayneIlStorm]

Nice! More people in Ventari! I should change up the information in my character sheet

 

[Pepsionne]

super interested! I can go to any clan and any gender that needs space filled
