Oh hi, I didn't see you there. Not that odd, considering that you might be reading this alone in your room.
Yikes! Just imagine how creepy that sounds!
But that's going to be a common theme if you, for some strange reason, do end up roleplaying with me.
For I love giving people the creeps, horror and ALL the macabre!
So, take two;
cough
Hello
Glad someone's actually crazy enough to consider roleplaying with me.
I am Vampunk; 50% Vampire, 50% Punk and a whole 100% Sassy Sarcasm
Nice to meet you!
There, wasn't too hard of an introduction, huh?
So, having gotten that out of the way, let's get to the meat of this thread. Ironic, I know, for meat's more of a Zombie and Werewolf shtick and not exactly something Vampires delight in.
I am a detailed roleplayer who values character dynamics and interesting settings.
There's one genre I absolutely adore, and it's one I dubbed "Slice of UNlife"
Which is basically modern day scenarios spiced up with all the Supernatural goodness!
So, what exactly can you expect from roleplaying with me?
Well, let's go with the oh so mundane bullet-point approach!
-Big, juicy, chunky replies!
I write a lot and once I get into the mood there's no stoppin' this freight train!
-Detail
Goes hand in hand with the thing juuuust a few lines above.
-Humor
Despite the oh so serious and professional tone of this thread, I am actually a very fun-lovin' person and do so enjoy including it in my roleplays, usually in the form of biting sarcasm and other delightful banter!
-Story and Character dynamics
A roleplay is nothing without strong characters and a solid plot, so I value both!
-We can be fwiends forever!
Talk to me, this isn't some serious business, I do enjoy plotting and just smalltalk too!
-Characters I'd play:
I can play a plethora of character archetypes but what I'm most comfortable with are those with a wicked sense of humor and are somewhat of...how do I put it...lovable jerks?
Apart from that, I do play a lot of supernatural creatures, ranging from your ol' Vamps to other creepy crawlies! In fact, I do tend to lean towards more monstrous personalities with weird quirks, so be warned.
I am fluid in terms of what gender my characters can be but I lean towards female roles.
In a similar vein...hehe, get it, a vampire pun...I am flexible in terms of pairings since I am Bisexual myself. Once again, just talk to me what you'd like to play and I'll be sure to brainstorm with you!
Aaaanyhow.
I think I'll make this an actual main thread of me so I'll be adding to it as time goes on, but here are some of the plots I'm currently looking to play out!
Toodles!

City of Night
(Thriller, Social commentary, Slice of UNlife)
It has been almost a decade since the existence of supernatural beings was revealed to the general public.
But instead of a bloody revelation of a secret society that existed alongside humanity, they were just like you and me.
Upstanding citizens that had lived with humans for almost as long as human civilization existed.
It was strange, seeing your neighbors out themselves as the very monsters you've read about in children's books and with more and more public figures coming out to stand up for the rights of this new class of citizens, so did those who saw them not only as a danger to society, but to humanity itself.
That's what happens when some of their survival depends on human blood among other things.
And as protests and violence became much more widespread, so did debates on whether these citizens should be allowed a warm, proper embrace into society.
That was ten years ago.
It's November 2018, London, UK
The east riverside district has been repurposed to become a save haven for the so called S-Citizens, providing them with communities that could help them with their special needs.
"Full-Moon Rooms" for the lycanthropes, Vampire bars, weekly self-help groups for those trying to come to terms with their new existence...
But as everything seemed to head towards a brighter future for both Humans and Supernaturals alike, something seems to stir in the heart of darkness.
For if there's something humans fear most, it's what they do not understand and with more and more disappearances the police, and the press see themselves tasked with something that might change the future into a twisted nightmare....

Welcome to the Masquerade
(Mystery, "Alice in Wonderland", Supernatural)
We all know these stories.
A sibling leaves their home in the quiet suburbs to find their luck in the big city.
To chase their dreams and make a name for themselves!
Most return after years failing at finding a foothold in this cruel world of chrome, but this time they take it a step further...
They just vanish without a trace.
They had found work at a prestigious newspaper agency and they had slowly started carving out a place for themselves, reporting about things most people were too afraid to do...
But just as they were riding that wave to the top, they disappeared.
There was no body to be found, no clue of where they had went and the police just wrote it off with them having found someone to take them away and start a new life. It wouldn't be the first time that happened anyways and the lack of connection between the cases, and there being no traces of a body made the police department just close the case...
But you wouldn't have that.
And as you finally get your hands on your sibling's belongings, going through their apartment you find an odd invitation to a peculiar club in the heart of the city.
"Welcome to Wonderland...Will you follow this trail down the rabbit hole?"

The Wendigo's cold call
(Horror, actual trigger warning right here!)
It was supposed to be just a nice skiing trip, the perfect way to celebrate a birthday!
But the best days of your life soon turned into your worst nightmare as you as the very mountain collapsed on you.
By sheer luck, or a twist of fate, you survived, buried alive in a cavern...But your friends didn't share in your luck.
And as hours became days and those stretched on, you would find your body slowly succumbing to hunger.
And desperation drives people to commit horrible acts.
After days in a dark cavern, instinct slowly takes over and your friend's flesh being the only thing standing between certain death and...survival...wouldn't stop you from comitting such a horrible act.
But after what seemed like an eternity stuck in a dark cavern.
Biting cold
The metallic taste of blood on your lips
The horrifying dead faces of your friends
And the whispers...
You're finally rescued and brought back home...
But something else was also released that day, accompanying your every step.
For the Wendigo hungers, and there are only few who know how to stop the wicked spirit from not only claiming your sanity, but also your mind, body and soul...

(Horror)
What happens when you die?
You are slowly phased out of the system.
Sure, your friends and family will mourn you, but even they will just move on sooner or later as the traces of your existence will soon fade into nothing.
And as you're reduced to nothing more than a husk of flesh, a cold shell of what was once a human being, you're left wondering if there's something after death...
But whatever you expected, it wouldn't be like this!
Waking in a metal drawer somewhere in a morgue, you awake.
Are you dead?
Are you alive?
The truth is rarely that simple, but there's one certainty; Your "life" will never be the same...
Thankfully(?) you're not alone as you rise from the dead, as there is someone...or something else with you there, in the dead of night, in this cold morgue...
A friend perhaps? A partner in crime as you'd soon find a new home...deep inside the city's vein-like web of alleyways and dark corners...

Under the Sea
(Supernatural Summertime Sonata)
We know more about the Stars than the depths of our own oceans.
For all we know there could be wondrous things drifting through the waters that we're not even aware of...
Or maybe there are horrible things lurking in those abyssal crevices just waiting to be uncovered...
But what you do know, is that you wouldn't trade your job for anything else.
Who doesn't like being part of an aquatic research team on the west coast?
A newbie like you would still be filled with childish wonder over the things you might find in the vast ocean depths...
But not even in your wildest dreams would you have dreamt meeting something straight out of a fairy tale!
So get your swimming suit, because there's so much more to explore, just underneath the calm waters...
But in much murkier parts of the sea something else stirs...

What lies behind the red door
(Demons, wizards and sorcery, heavy in world building!)
You never thought finding real magic would be like this.
Instead of the wonderful world of funny hats and animal companions you opened the door to an entirely different realm.
Who would've thought that meddling with powers you didn't believe existed would result in you not only freeing an eldritch entity from its prison but also bind it to yourself?
A demonic entity that assures you that you have yet to see the full extent of magic, its limits being nothing less than your own imagination.
But summoning a creature of the fifth dimension always comes at a price and you'll soon find yourself tossed into a world that coexist with your human state of being...
A world where mortals deal with entities beyond their comprehension and whose foolish attempts at mastering these newfound powers might threaten the thin veil separating these two dimensions.
Will you master your own demons or will you succumb to the lust for power every wizard goes crazy with?
