Crimson Ambrosia: The Silent Vow
Overview:
A Trinity Blood & Vampire Knight OC crossover
Centuries after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, the remnants of vampire knight orders patrol what remains of the modern world in this new futuristic setting. Vampires are no longer hidden — they are fractured, aging aristocrats clinging to fading power and bloodlines. Humans, empowered by magic and steel, now fight for sovereignty. Amid this world teetering on revolution, the old honor codes still bind those who once fought in the name of balance. There are 4 levels of vampire: Level A- Purebloods whom every vampire must obey, Level B- Mixed bloods, Level C- vampires who have turned and drank the blood of their pureblood (saving their sanity), and Level E- vampires who have not drunk their pureblood and slowly descend into madness. Vampires will burn in the Sunlight.

World Themes:
- Decaying chivalry vs modern power
- Blood as currency, power, and addiction
- Loyalty and betrayal among immortals
- Romance under tension: master/knight, knight/knight, knight/human
- Conflict between ancient laws and personal freedom
- Power and purity vs. evolution and hybridity.
- Forbidden love across class and species lines.
- Moral ambiguity: what makes a monster?
- Memory manipulation, lost identities, and ancestral debts.
Factions:
1. The Crimson Concord – The new vampire council with limited representation for humans and hybrids. Ruthless politics, secret alliances, and internal coups are common.
- Preservation of vampire dominance through cooperation with humanity, but on vampire terms.
- High-ranking Pureblood remnants, noble vampire houses, and select human officials.
- Meant to enforce laws of secrecy and blood usage, maintain dominance over rogue factions, and regulate vampire-human relations and hybrid births.

- Preserve the Balance – Once sacred protectors of humanity from their own kind, the Order seeks to maintain equilibrium between the living and the undead, even if that means slaying vampire royalty.
