Setting
This role play is intended to and is allowed very dark themes.
The purpose of this roleplay is to have a nice classic vampire roleplay I can invest my time in, that has a slight twist of my own creative touch, and perhaps even yours.
The setting is in the time period of the classic Castlevania in the Victorian Era when England's lands stretched impossibly far and new technologies are being invented and experimented with, morals are questionable. The nobles feast well, the middle-class live in a reasonable comfort and at the bottom are the unsupervised villages living in squalor with the homeless populace resorting to eating vermin and scraps.
The location is set in a large forest a solid few miles from the main city of Goldenarch. A fairly large city and one of the cities most effected by the fear of the presence of vampires. It's a bustling city, the royal and nobles who run it are corrupt, they choose without care to become fat from their decadence before they start sending food down the hierarchy. The locals are aggressive towards vampires, and if vampire activity stirs it is fairly common for the local populace to jump straight to forming mobs and hunting vampires down. There has been known by people and vampire alike that vampire hunters also roam the town and forests trying to pick up on vampire activity.
The Vampire houses are a series of castles set each within about a quarter of a mile from each other, with a thick forest in between them. It is easy to navigate form Vampires, but well hidden from others. The castles aren't as dark and edgy as one might expect. It does have a gothic theme but the vampires take their time to properly structure and furnish the halls and courts of this castle in a visually appealing and ornate manner. Between each castle house are a few locations design to provide peace and meditation to vampires, these places are various ponds. benches, buildings, and various walk-ways. The vast forests nearby, populated by plenty of wildlife and even some more terrifying and formidable monsters of the night.There is a great conference room for important decisions of the houses, rooms to accommodate every vampire, with varying levels of luxury based off of your position in the hierarchy. There are rooms for every purpose of training vampires indulge. Combat training rooms, sparring arenas, magic libraries where vampires can channel their connections to magic, kitchens and smithies and all the like. The castle has a an enchantment that makes it much harder to find by passerbys and hunters.
Kiss of Life
(Info About Vampires)
The Vampires story is not simple - but ancient. This powerful immortal bloodline dates back to to even before Egypt, the intricacies of vampire life and it's age is unknown to the human world. To them vampires are just blood-thirsty savages. Though they may be sort of right, it is a trait that the humans set upon vampires themselves. Many vampires have lost things they greatly care for to angry mobs, vampire slayers, and "valiant" warriors.
Vampires live in various mansions,castles, and settlements long forgotten or built from the ground up by the vampires themselves. They keep themselves in pockets of society least tread upon, in a housing system designed to give vampires a comfortable and eternal home. See now, vampires really just want nothing but to be left alone, truly they wish to feed steadily and healthily, and enjoy the company of their own kind. However, the human race is persistent on their extinction, forcing vampires to remain sharp in their skills. Though vampires are superior in their abilities to human people, they are very numerous however, and can be clever. The vampire race has spent much of their time stuck in constant survival against the humans. Vampires have been forced to use their every advantage for thousands and thousands of years. Vampires are exceptionally refined people, as soon as they can they are trained in diplomacy, deception, combat, and subterfuge. In addition to these skills they also find the time to indulge in refined hobbies. Vampires are known to catch on to skills quickly, they create some of the finest wine, weapons, food. Some even write some of the best and most captivating stories.
Vampires also have a natural affinity for magic, though not all use it much. Some delve into various magic types and forms. The most powerful vampire casters can cast spells of considerable destruction, pain, and darkness. They can spend their time creating monsters by utilizing corpses they can imbue with enchantments and curses. Vampires are naturally stronger, and faster, and have a natural and slight resistance to magic. They are smarter than a human, and immortal. However not too many have been there for too long or earned the title of ancient, for vampires are almost all too often killed off, ancients stay at the top of society.
The Hierarchy
There are three houses, things like supplies and food are run independently between houses, each help to discuss and create rules and regulations, and decision that lead the houses forward.
House of Drakhenfell
The main one is Castle Drakhenfell. This is powerhouse that has the most say in the law, some of the strongest vampires belong to this one, or the ones seen as the most noble, with some sort of connection or relation to ancient vampire royals and champions.
Ruled by the grand vampire Titus Drakhenfell, who runs these three vampire houses with a firm grip and a cold gaze. This house focuses on training vampires apart of it in combat and hand-to-hand fighting, for combat is a ancient and noble vampire skill, and generates massive respect. It is the wealthiest house, and the largest, the other houses often feud and protest it's power, but seldom take any real action against it. This houses castle looks is truly imperial, with a larger walled in area than the others to make room for training grounds and serves as a royal palace for Titus Drakhenfell.
House of the Dahlia
This is the house of true magic and sorcery. This is where the powerful casters go, vampires with a affinity for magic that stands out. This is the most morally in touch house, and the most strict in it's discipline. Magic is formidable, and both houses make sure it's practices are being kept safe. They don't want to draw the attention of humans to the houses, and magic is one of the strongest detectable vampire abilities by Vampire Hunters with the ability to detect it. This house is also the one that creates monsters, for that is a branch of magic. This house is the most visually stunning, vines crawl up it, streams trickle but it's sides and through it, vibrant moss and large assortments and rows of flowers line many of the walls, doors, statues, and roofs. Creating the right environment is seen to be very important for the spellcasters, a clear and tranquil mind makes casting spells easier. House of the Dahlia mages are strongest in their own castle.
House of the Thorn
This is the house of subterfuge, assassins, secrecy, and plans. Vampires here are the fastest and the most cunning, and utilize natural-born abilities that are the reason they are on this house. The Abilities vary, from being able to remain invisible, turn into a bat or other animals. Combat is trained in this house as well, a different type, faster and more agile, focused on surprising the enemy. The greatest plans of the vampires take place here. Sometimes they send the best assassins to take down political officials in the cities to quell their animosity and ease vampire aggression. They've even spied on other houses for other houses to give any info they suspect the others might be hiding. This houses castle looks the smallest, and the most unassuming. This is because the majority of their castle is underground, their are many halls and crawl-ways, some libraries, obstacle courses, and candle-lit rooms for the meditation every House of the Thorn assassin must partake in.
