If anyones interested in a vampire rp post your character in this thread. This thread is based around the self-proclaimed vampire princes struggles against the current leader of Draconis Nightcrawlis, the rightful heir to the Draconian throne, vampire hunters and his own destiny.

The rp has already started here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418936).

Hmmm... I haven't done a vampire thing in a while. Is there any history I should be aware of before coming up with a character?
Draconis Nightcrawlis

Not really, you don't have to be a Draconian vampire. If theres anything you specifically want to know, just ask :)

Name: Drusilia Von Aust
Gender: Female
Sire: Marius of the First Brood
Drusilia seperated from her sire some years ago after his successful guidance through her fledgling state. She appears young, no more than perhaps 17 years of age but her mind is much older as she was turned some time ago. She was enslaved and abused as a human child before Marius' rescue, which has fueled a bitter hatred for all non-vampires.

Is that enough of what you're looking for, or shall I expand upon it? :)
Draconis Nightcrawlis
19-05-2005, 18:43
Excellent :)

If you do want to expand on it, it's up to you.

Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 14:36
A what?
Theao
20-05-2005, 14:51
A dhampir, a child born to a vampire and human. In popular culture Blade and Rayne from Bloodrayne are both Dhampirs.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 14:58
Doh! Should have remembered that. Yeah a dhampir will be fine.

Name: Victor Vanhel
Gender: Male
Parents: Darian(Vampire, location unknown), Stephani Vanhel(Human, deceased)
Born among vampires thought raised by humans, his mother died half-way throught his fifth year. Killed his first vampire on his 16th birthday, and has continued to hunt vampires in a quest to find his father, driven by an urge commonly found among Dhampir to slay thier vampiric progenitor.

If you require additional information, it will be provided.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 15:36
Gah, didn't think you were planning on having him as a vampire hunter.
Theao
20-05-2005, 16:02
Doesn't hunt most vampires, only those who can get him closer to his goal of finding his father, who he wants dead.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 16:10
Oh right, as long as he's not a vampire killing hunter.
Theao
20-05-2005, 16:12
The only vampires he would kill are those who attack him first and those of his fathers clan. Your clan/group has nothing to worry about.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 16:19
Ok, got it now.
Theao
20-05-2005, 19:02
I'd have expected a greater reaction from the vampires, as dhampir tend to be vampire hunters, hunting all clans of vampire, they wouldn't know he was only a limited hunter.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 19:05
Dhampir hunters aren't really that much of a problem in DN, it's the human hunters that are.
Theao
20-05-2005, 19:07
So little experiance with dhampir hunting vampires then?
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 19:09
Well there is the odd case but it's rare.

BTW, how old is Victor now?
Theao
20-05-2005, 19:14
Twenty six. Then I have the perfect idea for getting the vampires somewhat more interested in him.
Draconis Nightcrawlis

Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 19:41
Thought you weren't doing MT anymore.

Oh BTW Theo, should mention that holy water, crosses and other Christian things that in legends harm vampires don't actually have any effect on Draconian vampires. Silver can paralyse them, stakes to the heart kills, sunlight kills except for ancient vampires that take alot more exposure to sunlight to kill. Garlic repulses them, just like it does with some people :D
Theao
20-05-2005, 19:43
The clan he's hunting is effected by holy water thought, part of the reason he's carrying it, also he has a silver coated dagger, that's primarily used on WWolves.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
20-05-2005, 19:50
Hence why he knows Victor isn't from around there.

I haven't fleshed out the character completely yet, but I want her to be Marius' companion from the beginning of anyone's rememberance of Marius. Her name would be Aeschia. No last name. She would be traveling with Marius at all times (like husband and wife for eternity).

She appears to be about 26, but is eons old, as is Marius, who turned her shortly after he was turned.

I have to admit, I don't know the difference between Draconian or other vampires. Perhaps you could explain that, if it's relavent.

I haven't come up with a particular REASON for her and Marius (who I suppose I would also play) to show up except to be looking for family, possibly, or a clan thang, or anger at the one referring to himself as "King of Vampires".

I'll give you a description soon. I'm a bit ill right now, so thinking isn't my forte'.

Please TG me and let me know what you think. Trust me, I will come up with a reason to be there.

My Marius isn't much like the other "Marius's" I've read about. He's older (Not looking), and a bit more powerful. He is to have sired Drusila after Aeschia, and they looked on her as a daughter for a time.

27-05-2005, 00:02
OOC: What's acceptable? They aren't just vampires, btw, but I was going to get to that later. They're more on a level with JWolf...

OOC: So, they have the power of the dark side and have mutant powers. Everything I have done works with his powers. He has not use his vampire powers in this RP as of now.

So, I’m going to edit my post because you messed up. Read how me and DN got down there. Then post your two getting down that way.

ooc: Don't edit because I messed up! I just wanted to catch up. I guess I'm going to have to read from the beginning. Just leave everything the way it is.

sith powers, yes, mutant, not exactly.

OOC: Sorry already edited. Plus, if they were Siths, JWolf would know it.

Not Siths, but force users. Was I supposed to specify all of this at the beginning? Aeschia is not a normal vampire or force user either... was that to be specified?

But he would still know that they were force users. So, I’m not going with it. I sound like a jackass but I don’t care. If they are force users, you should have said that on the ooc thread.
Draconis Nightcrawlis

-Actually: Well, let's just say he's really old. I want to give myself some room.
Dictator of The Dominion of Foxworth, a nation comprised completley of Sanguinarians, he is a ruthless, iron-fisted ruler who seeks to create a safe haven for his kind, free of Hunters and Slayers. Obedience and loyalty are keystones of his rule, and those convicted of less-than-absolute devotion to The Dominion are usually punished by being de-fanged and sent to imprisonment in the Spire, the only building that rises above the surface of The Dominions subterannian cities, and the only building that rises above the shroud of eternal darkness that cloaks the reigon. Lord Foxworth also stresses the importance of computer science and technology, as he is an experienced Hacker himself.


Tell me if you don't like it or want me to change something. I'm not writing at my best today, so I won't take criticism personally.

The way I see your nation is a cross between medieval and modern with a splash of Japenese in it.
