I'm wondering if theres any futuristic space nations willing to do an RP involving vampires. The storyline I'm thinking of at the moment revolves around the Draconis Lord vampire Draven and his quest for invincability. At the start of the RP it involves him getting together a band of vampires to search for an ancient book.

The usual vampire vulnerabilities exist, sunlight, garlic, wooden stakes through the heart, decapitation etc. However since Christianity doesn't exist in my nation, things like crosses and holy water have no effect on vampires from Draconis Nightcrawlis or any vampire they sire, but if you wish that your vampire comes from your nation then thats up to you.

I just need a group of vampires, 1 or 2 vampires from each player, no vampire hunters, I'll bring in those later in the RP.

Comments, Questions etc?

sounds kind of cool, i'd be interested

Just post up a vampire character or two. Any questions?

OOC: any limit to age or strength?

IC:

Marcus
height: 6'6
weight: 230
age: 2500 years
abilities: flight, fire, mind gift, strength,
specific weaknesses: sun, fire
immune to: crosses, religion,

I'd prefer the age limit to be around about 600 years, otherwise they're too ancient. I'd limit the number of abilities too.
Just a note, he has fire ability and a weakness to it?

::Tag::

I've decided I will allow a few non-vampire characters as well.

A few points I'd like to make, vampires are human size so I'd prefer them to be under 6'4 I also changed the maximum age because Draven is not going to 'employ' vampires that are over 600.

Just a word of warning, it rains alot in certain areas of my nation, including places the RP will take place, so Pablicosta I hope your vampire comes prepared :D

Sorry, I went on the 6'9 thing making a few inches taller than my step-father, but its changed now.
Also, edited the water thing-rain could have nasty effects such as diorhea and herpes.

The character sounds good, not overly powerful.
So rain wouldn't burn his skin?

So rain wouldn't burn his skin?

Well my plan was to have it do so, but when you said it was common to rain in the area I changed that....
I am trying to think of another weakness at the moment, to balance it a bit.

Would have been funny to have had it like that, though the humour in it would have worn off eventually.

So what are the effects of the other weaknesses? What is it about Budhism that hes weak to.

righto fix it up then


Marcus
same height and weight
age:500
abilites: flight, strength, limited mind gift

OOC: it's entirely possible, i don't know if you read anne rice, pretty much all vampires are weak to fire, and most can use it

I know vampires can burn, I've read Anne Rice but I can't remember a vampire other then the queen of the damned being able to use fire.

did you stop reading? marius, lestat, pretty much all the old ones can

I just couldn't remember, guess I'd better read them again.

I geuss it would it could have been funny, but a tad deadly too...

Well, with regard to budhism it just makes hime shiver violentl and he has tremendous mind pains, forcing him to cower away.

bump

Just a quick note, I'll proberly be starting this RP over the weekend.

not here on the weekend DN

No Problem, knowing me it'll get a delayed a bit :D

I need a good name for the book, which will also be the thread title. Space Vampires sounds crap and at not all the player characters are going to be vampires.

So I take it that theres no one else interested then?

I'll drop in.

I'm afraid that I am going to have to delay the start of this RP slightly, having new computer problems.

The RP thread has been posted and is available here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2785455&highlight=#2785455)

MAy I join this rp using an elven character? (or an elven vampire character?)

An elven vampire sounds interesting, whats the age and abilities?

OOC: Telegram me when you need a hunter. I will send my main RP character Whiptail, or a small pack of hunters of lesser skill who are expendable. It is your choice.

RP Credentials can be seen in the following threads:
Change of Blood
Adrenaline (Pts I & II)
Blood Hunter
Assington Vampires
Of Whips and Blessed Silver

I'll let you know when I need a hunter

OOC: So that you may judge the individual abilites of each, I will include brief bios...

Weight: 290 lbs
Gender: Male
Role: Brick/Berserker
Bio:
Bone-Breaker is a massive specimen, a bit dull-witted at times, but he makes up for it with his immense physical strength. Unlike most large individuals, Bone-Breaker is decently agile in combat. He believes that his sword, a broad and flat beast of a weapon, is endowed with an intelligent spirit that guides his hand in battle. This is up for debate, obviously, as is Bone-Breaker's soundness of mind.

Rakel is a Dark Argonian, from the prominent family Nightfang. He is anchient by Argonian standards, but young and foolish by the standards of his people. In battle, he is constantly moving, releasing lightning-quick volleys of punches and kicks interspersed with various flashy spins and high-flying acrobatics. In ranged combat, he relies on the hard-hitting power of a pair of .50 cailber Desert Eagles.

Role: Warrior-Priest
Bio:
Secretive and deadly are words that perfectly describe Foehunter, a reclusive member of the elite Warrior-Priests known as the 'Hands of Makaal'. Distinguishable by their gunmetal-grey cloaks, they are feared melee combatants. Foehunter fights with the speed and skill of one much older than he, and knows a few spells.
