As some of you may know, I've been working on a sequel to my first vampire rp, Assington Vampires (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=105573&highlight=).

Well, I still have a few things to work out, but I have the main story. This will be an invite only RP, you may only enter upon my approval, and you'll have to give me a good reason to let you in if I don't know your experience or haven't encountered you before.

Invited:

Tarlachia
Valient
Redeemed Heroes
The Golden Simatar
A Few Rich People
Mercenary Soldiers
Cousin Eddie
Mikatopia

Vamp stats:
Imortal (but not invincible)
Fire kills (time taken depends on age)
Sun kills (time taken depends on age)
Silver hurts
All normal attacks may hurt but not kill.
Severing of limbs does not kill (can be put back on and healed)
Supernatural speed, strength and endurance/resistance
Telekinetic and Telepathic powers
Flight (only the older vamps)
Can climb walls/ceillings
Beheading will cause death
Silver bullets to the head will kill
UV light has no effect. It is the sunlight itself, not just the UV light that kills
Religious items have no effect.... eg. crucifixes & holy water

BuMpItY bUmP!

Hey, I would be happy to join this. Possibly as a new character. Not a "good" character that kain now is, someone darker....someone more evil. We do not have enough evil people in NS, the villains are not amungst us. A vampire with a far blacker soul than Kain....

:twisted:

Err, bump?

bump

Assington, check your TGs. :)

Kain, you're accepted. Always good to have a villan.

Golden Scimitar, you're character is fine and you're in.

how bout me change mine however you wish.

I don't know your character or experience. Got any credentials? :P

not really

I don't mean to be an arse, but this is an invite only rp to keep the un-experienced players out. I've had too many spoiled by allowing anyone that asks.

Sorry.

it is okay :( I am in the middle of a war one any way. sigh

Sorry to intrude but what is the basis of the RP (other than vampires)? I might be interested, I am a HUGE vampire fan and just moved from Norway where there is a large underground following revolving around Black Metal and Vampires...if you would telegramme the details to me...if not I'll know you're not interested in having any more players. Thanks in advance.

A brief story outline:

This will be set 150 years after AV1, so unless your character was a vamp, they are probably dead and won't be in this one. It involves Hondur returning to Assington, where he develops a bit of a fan club. Skadi and Maximus will turn up, and of course the hunters and VP will be involved.

That is all i'm willing to say for the moment.

BUMP :P

Story sounds great Assington. I read AV1 a while back and never fully got why Hondur hates Maximus.

Maximus got the girl that Hondur wanted, and beat him up at the end of AV1 to settle the dispute. :P

BUMPO UPPITY UP!

I'm intereted and will try to find time to read the 20 page prequil to this RP. However, a brief synapsis of what happened would be greatly appreciated.

Credentials can be listed if need be.

Assington, I'll take care of this for ya :D .

A Few Rich People:

Here's the quick story of what happened in the first:

Great changes occured within Emerald City and Assington as a whole, eventually causing vampires and humans to live peacefully together, yet tensions between the two increased. In time illegal organizations formed, both against the vampires(humans)[known as the AVO=Anti-Vampire Organization] and against the government(vampires)[AGVO=Anti-Government Vampire Organization]. Conflicts rose and the stakes were raised when Hondur was captured and tortured. Skadi sired Maximus (my character) and together the two worked together, with the help of AGVO and an outside coven from Valient, known as the Hyraphore. The two groups allied with Skadi and Maximus created a rather noticeable distraction to draw the human forces away from the building, allowing the two vampires to sneak in and rescue Hondur. The mission suceeded, but a lot of bloodshed had occured. Later on, Hondur challenged Maximus to a duel. Both were the only fledglings of Skadi, both loved her, but Hondur wanted her to himself. The two fought, and Maximus won. The verdict was for Hondur to leave Skadi forever....

And that's basically what happened...

P.S. I know Assington will want you to show some credentials of your writing skills.

*Dives into the chaotic mass that is the archives searching for the thread he participated in*

Ah, here it is.

Pulls out a long string of letters and numbers, seemingly a URL

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103594

Now that a usually well written credential is linked off I goto the the void that is my mind and my random name generator to create a character!

Creativity, Away!

A Few Rich People..... you're in.

BUMP

Maximus got the girl that Hondur wanted, and beat him up at the end of AV1 to settle the dispute. :P

Yeah, that would get me mad if someone took the chick I had my eye on. :D

BUMP

BUMPER CARS! **BUMP**

(crash!!)...oops....looks like I've BUMPED too hard again!

Damn bumper cars are never made like they used to be....

Here's the start of an RP of mine: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2705633#2705633
(due to the NS server I moved it to my RP forum at http://www.bbfree.com/shadowrp )

I would like to know what kind of role my character would be playing.

If you do accept me, and begin the RP, I would appreciate a telegram reminder with URL, as I am forgetful.

After all, she's happier with me :wink: :twisted:

Val....*am restraining myself lol*

What... what did I say?


Huh? My post... was deleted??? By whom???

WHOM :shock:

Gee...let me think here....the name starts with "Val" and ends with "ient". Surely it's not you?? :twisted:

The Underground City. I'll need a character bio.

I would like to know what kind of role my character would be playing.


Let me think from what Assington said in his earlier post are vampires(the bad guys who hate the hunters), hunters (people who hunt vamps), and the VP (Vampire Police). Think of a character and decide what speices Vampire, Human, or other.
In the RP "Change of Blood" my character was a civilian who helped the hunters. So just make up a character and TG Assignton.

That's the idea.....

Hi. You know who I am I hope.

Any chance of an invite. If he doesn't fit in with this thread I will RP a character other then Xyorph. Let me know.

I do know you, but Xyorph isn't allowed in this one. No magic. Not to mention, it is set before COB

Ah no magic then. Alright then. Guns then? And what kind of city is this, what kind of enviorment.

Yes, guns are allowed. It is a modern day city, quite populated with humans and vampires. Even though vampires are legally equal, they get a lot of crap.

The vamp concept= http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103078&highlight=

I am good with those ideas. I am wanting my characters to feel the weanesses of the traditional vampries. Kain seems to be a human with fangs....I am trying to make him irrated by such things, lose concentration etc. I cannot make Kain suddenly fear sunlight can I? :)

But yes, sure I can make my new vampire be effected by such things. And telekinisis will do me in the magic department.

My character smuggled in his weapons, including a M203. So I'm wondering if he hits a vampire with a shell if it kills or shreds the vampire?

OOC: If you're got room for another, I'm developing a supporting character & would like to add him to the list. I'm thinking of having him 'turned' as the saying goes, and making him a vamp. Maybe this is the thread to do so...

Name: Peter Zion
Age: 28 years
Race: Human
Nationality: American (Caucasian)
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 190 lbs
Build: Toned, muscular
Hair: Black, curly
Style: Neck length, keeps in a short ponytail at nape of neck
Profession: Mercenary Sniper/Assassin
Callsign: Posterboy
Weapon:
Custom-built WA2000, nickel-plated Berretta M96FS, KA-BAR combat knife
Appearance: Very handsom, source of callsign.

I would say a grenade would kill a vamp. It depends on how close it is. They can recover from shrapnel wounds, but if they are dismembered, they can't exactly pull themselves together. Fire is also a problem for vamps.

That's fine. You're in.

I won't be starting this for about another week, not until Tarlachia gets back.

Hey, I would be happy to join this. Possibly as a new character. Not a "good" character that kain now is, someone darker....someone more evil. We do not have enough evil people in NS, the villains are not amungst us. A vampire with a far blacker soul than Kain....

:twisted:

OOC: I can provide a large number of villains, the race of mechanical creatures known as the Devilish. I have created a nation on NS before, and have some expeirence with RP'ing. I created this nation to serve as a nation of cannon-fodder badguys. Devilish are somewhat difficult to destroy, due to their mechanical nature. If I can figure out how to upload a home-made pic, I will provide a diagram displaying structural weaknesses common to all types of Devilish.

Various Types:
Grunt: Basic attack unit, armed with blade-fingers
Commander: Acts as a handler for Grunts, making them more effective
Infiltraitor: Grunt configuration with stealth & AI upgrades
Gunner: Ranged combat unit
Bomber: Artillery combat unit
Hunter: Sniper unit equipped with chameleon device & railgun
AIU: Failed experimental unit, now rogue
Exterminator: Finished AIU concept, extremely dangerous
Riot Grunt: Armed with VLG, intended to capture organics
Drone: Worker unit, rarely seen outside of Collective areas

No robots.... :P

No Xyorph is fine. I want to try something else anyway.

With permission, I would like to try an experimental character to see if I can get it to work. Its a half troll, half human beast (effectively a human in a trolls body). I'm not sure which side it would fit best in, perhaps you could let me know which side is lacking in characters.

Let me make this clear. This is humans and vampires only. With the exception of possibly elves or similar HUMANOID creatures.

No robots, trolls, demons or anything of the sort.

Well it was kind of Humanoid lol.

Ok, in that case let me know which side is lagging in characters and I will RP an extra if you need them.

((OOC: That is highly illogical, captain. Most beings people play with are (at least roughly) humanoids, you know, bipedal, two arms, a head and all. That applies to demons, trolls, orcs, fairies, christmas elves, romulans who call themselves elves and any other of the more common species in Star Trek, many undead beings (what else could a human skeleton be, for one?), the Grey, lizardmen, gawd damn hobbitses... Oh right, most common species from almost any Sci-Fi/fantasy series.

Except me, since I play as a species of ten meter long black caterpillars.))

BUMP

Hey 'Spock'....Assington means "homo sapiens"........ :roll:

BTW, I'm back y'all....

Guess what, I GOT A JOB! :D I'm working as a lifeguard.

Guess what, I GOT A JOB! :D I'm working as a lifeguard.

Congrats....and do the folks a favor and keep your eyes on other people besides the chicks too lol... :wink:

Thanks, all my classmates feel REAL safe with me on duty. :)

But isn't that what being a male lifeguard is about? Checking out the babes as they tan? Sadly since it's so cold I'm working at an indoor pool. :cry:

Does anyone's computer show what SMSF's pic is?

Ok, I will be starting the RP 1 week from today. Wed 31st March.

Which side do you need another chracter for?

It doesn't matter. Your character may change sides or be independent.

In that case I will be a human Vampire hunter.

Name: D'nokh
Age: 35-ish
Weapons: Uses two silver Katanas as his main weapon. Also likes using holy water. With permission,I would also like to arm him with a form of 'UV laser gun'. Though I am prepared to drop this idea.

Bio: His father was a vicar who was killed by a group of Young Vampires. Since then he has pledged his life to the extermintation of all unhuman forms, paricularly Vampires and Werewolves as they are the most common forms. He wears the cross that his father wore the day he was ordained. Although not really magical, it increases his strength, reflexes and ability to resist pain.

Notes: Slightly temperamental. Gets angered easily. When it comes to Vampires in particular he has little patience, and very little time for negotiation.

I've got no objections to you joining, but there are a few stats about my vamps that need to be observed.

Imortal (but not invincible)
Fire kills (time taken depends on age)
Sun kills (time taken depends on age)
Silver hurts
All normal attacks may hurt but not kill.
Severing of limbs does not kill (can be put back on and healed)
Supernatural speed, strength and endurance/resistance
Telekinetic and Telepathic powers
Flight (only the older vamps)
Can climb walls/ceillings
Beheading will cause death
Silver bullets to the head will kill
UV light has no effect. It is the sunlight itself, not just the UV light that kills
Religious items have no effect.... eg. crucifixes & holy water

The rp is still open to anyone interested and will be until the day before I start it.

Ok, I had not read the stats properly. The UV light is right I suppose, it is the symbolic relevance of the sun to life that causes damage. My fault; didn’t think about it properly.

I would like to dispute the holy water. I will not cause an argument about this cos there's no point, but would you reconsider? In all vampire legend, holy objects cause damage to vampires. The whole point being that God is on the side of humans, and Vampires aren't humans, so he will fight against them.

I'm guessing that you have probably done away with this because your vampire characters are not 'evil'. They are simply creatures trying to survive. I respect this, but I think it takes too much away from the Vampire hunters to remove their holy items. Without wanting to sound too 1-dimensional, if you take away the reason of religion as being a reason for wanting a vampire dead, I would suggest you are not left with much motive.

It also takes away an interesting weapon stock. Without religious artefacts, vampire hunters are left with silver and fire; one of which is v expensive and the other of which is uncontrollable. Religious artefacts give an opportunity for a cheap and efficient way to stop yourself being beaten by a creature that is, in all rights, superior to you.

If you will hear my cry, I would ask for a compromise. In order for something to be considered a religious artefact, it has to be blessed. This has to be a proper blessing, real fantasy. Where there is a cause that would make God want to bless it. Not simply a village priests giving crosses that he has kissed to the people. This would allow the use of religious artefacts against vampires, but would limit what counts as an artefact. So you can't simply hold up a cross you find on the floor and stop a vampire. It has to be a cross that is blessed, and for a reason.

Am I making any sense here people...

You do make sense, but I'm afraid I won't budge on this. I have based this vampire concept on the Anne Rice books and some stuff that I came up with.

As Assington is not a religious nation at all, you'd be hard pressed to find a church in the country. This concept is quite different to the dracula, god forsaken knight concept, and so there is no religion.

I have restricted the weaknesses for a reason, so they can't just be killed off like that.

Ok. As it is your thread I wil of course accept your decision. Thank you for hearing me out; I know I have a tendency to waffle :wink:

In that case I wish to readjust my guys stats slightly. I still wish to have the cross that increases his abilities (as it does not affect the vampires, I am hoping this is ok), and I will keep the silver Katanas.

Other weapons will be:
One silver bullet pistol.
One flame pistol (runs on cartridges of high pressure fuel being forced through an ignition chamber).

I don't mind about the stats. Since holy weapons don't work it makes hurting vamps more fun. :twisted:

Plus CE if holy stuff did work let me say it like this.

If I was RPing a hunter (I'm actually RPing a mercenary) and Assington is RPing a vamp for example. My hunter could wear a suit adorned with crosses thus keeping Assington's vamp at bay. My character also has a Super Soaker with holy water. My character would be the VAMPINATOR. Where is the fun of tearing a vamp to shreds with reg ammo? I mean vamps are naturally powerful. So are lions. Lions are stronger than humans but J.H. Patterson got to kill two maneaters in Tsavo about 100 years ago. For more info watch The Ghost of Tsavo or read The Mna Eaters of Tsavo by Patterson. You just need tatics to outsmart your enemy.

I know my example might be stupid but my point is if the hunters/VP all wore cross NO vampire in thier right mind would come within 100 miles of them.

Ok, it's all good then. I'll allow the cross, but no big magic things.

Characters are also allowed to have psychic abilities as many of the humans in Assington have them.

I don't mind about the stats. Since holy weapons don't work it makes hurting vamps more fun. :twisted:

I understand what you are saying completely. Its a bizarre example :lol:, but an example nevertheless. To combat that I was suggesting that the artefacts had to be real artefacts. Not simply suits with crosses lol.


I dont think God would be amused if you loaded holy water into a supersoaker lol. Slightly disrespectful :twisted: . And you wouldnt have huge supplies of it, baring in mined it would have to be blessed by the Lord Himself.

But nevertheless I hear all that you are saying. The holy artefacts issue has been laid aside.

Assington: thank you for allowing me the cross. I am prepared to bypass the psychic abilities as a compromise.

OOC: Typically my character's motive is to collect fangs for Wandering Argonian's 'Grey Market' concept, which is basically a black market for things magical & otherwise fantasy-like. This might also be a good place to pick up those holy artifacts Cousin Eddie was talking about.

I think WA has an RP about the Grey Market around here somewhere, I'll see if I can dig up the address, might explain the concept a bit better if you read the opening post.

Hi yes i am a newbie, but i have been reading teh forums now for a good part of a year and i think i get the hang of it. i read AV1 and i loved it. So if i can join this is my character. i was hoping he could be turned into a vampire.

Name:William Jones
Age:34
Height:6"0
Weight:180lbs
Nationality:Mikatopian
Bio: Agent Jones works for the Mikatopian Royal Guard, an Institution that has survived long after the monarchy was desposed. As Mikatopia is a highly repressive nation, the Royal Guard functions as the secrect police. Jones is a part of the Paranormal divison, a group that kills vampires, elves, wizards etc because it is belived that the supernatural is a threat to the regime. William has psyhic abilites which gives him a edge to hunting vampires. He has been deployed to Assington to hunt down esacped vampire refugees.

(OOC: Wow, forgot to post my character, here it is Assington :wink: )

Name: Teddy Kurgan
Age: 37
Occupation: Former undercover anti-organized labor union officer
Race: Human
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 210lbs
Nationality: Udekian (subsidiary of Mikosolf Corperation)
Alliance: Independant Hunter
Weapons: Colt Manhunter, silver bullets; 38" Highlander sword with etched runes inlaided with silver; and a small cresent moonshaped battle axe also inlaid with silver.

Bio: One of his most distinguishing features is a cybernetic right forearm. Gained from a botched raid. After that he lost his confindance and was quickly shoved into retirement. Now after several years of psycological help he has mostly recoved and has become an avid amature swordsmen while at the same time maintaining small arm proficincies. Moved into Assington about three years ago to escape the drudge and toil that Mikosolf has now forced upon the once glorious nation of Udek. Finding his talents as a former undercover cop quite usuful for hunting he quickly took the occupation as a freelance hunter in the infested realm of Assington.

(OOC: And if anyone wonders why he is Udekian and yet is being RPed by AFRP, is because Udek is part of Mikosolf Corperation which is based in AFRP)

Since everyone else is posting thier characters I guess I'll post mine too.

Character: Kurt Malone (Stephen Malone’s uncle)
Occupation: Mercenary
Age: 30
Height: 5’11
Weight: 185
Hair: Short, light brown; short brown mustache
Eyes: Ice Blue
Brief back round: The best mercenary The Golden Simatar has, and thus one of the most expensive. Kurt has helped topple governments, train rebels, and help root out rebels. Proficient with many military small arms and vehicles. Heard through contacts of a possibility of a job in Assington.

Crosses work because the person has faith. Not just your "I believe in God" kinda thing, but because the person has true faith. And few people have true faith. Not that this is oging by this principle.

Here it is. Might occupy ya'll till this shin-dig starts.

Yeah, I get that. thats kind of what I'm saying from the other side. In order for a cross to work, it has to be blessed by God. In order to be blessed by God , you have to be a person of true faith. So I think we're on the same page here :wink:

There are people with true faith. But its often not the ones you expect it to be.

What is the VRO and VP again? other than That im fine thanks

VRO: Vampire Revolution (or Revolutionary I forget which) Orginazation. The vampire group in COB.

VP: Vampire Police, the dudes who monitor the vampires in Assington.

All the groups associated with Assington (as far as I know) are:

AVO: Anti-Vampire Organization
AGVO: Anti-Government Vampire Organization
VP: Vampire Police

However, I'm not sure which groups will come into play when the thread is underway. That is up to Assington to decide.
***************************
The VRO (Vampire Revolutionary Organization) is a vampire organization within Tarlachia. It was used for the thread "Change of Blood" (COB). As far as I can remember the VRO will not be in this thread. However, don't quote me on that. I think Assington might have had plans to include several different organizations not part of Assington origin. I'll have Assington clarify this for everyone ASAP.

Ok guys, I'm going to have to postpone AV2 due to my ill health. It's kind of hard to write well when you feel like your head is going to explode, so I'm sorry about that.

Rest assured that it will be up and running as soon I am feeling better.

Also, the AGVO and the AVO will not be in this rp. Smaller factions representing boths sides will exist, but there will be no major organisation for either side.

Of course, the VP will still be around.

Hope you get better soon Assington.

Yeah, get better Assington, we'll see you when you get back :D

I am going to start AV2 now. :D

Woo hoo!! Might want to put a linky on here for all involved to get to it easier... :D :D :D :D

Assington Vampires 2 has begun.
