NationStates Jolt Archive

OOC: I'm looking to break into the RP circuit, and am considering an RP to do so. My nation is one that is controlled by a vampiric secret government, with a puppet human regime passing on the laws and such to the human population. The style is based pretty loosely on the 'Vampires: Masquerade' series, but past the clans, government style, and the general hierarchy, it is of my own creation.

Anyone with previous expeirence in this sort of thing is more than welcome, and I might be needing some hunters, so those of you who specialize in that sort of thing are welcome as well.

As this will be the first RP for my nation, I'll probably set the storyline as the initial vampiric takeover and subsequent corruption of the government.

I've got a few characters in mind, but I'll add info on them later, as I gather ideas.

Many thanks,

-Faust

I may/may not be available to participate but I'm happy to answer any questions/lend a hand to get you started.

Some of the first significant RPing I did was with vampires and managed to get four reasonable RPs out of it and some of my favourite characters.

Im game...

I am not really that knowledgeable about Vampre: Masquerade, however, I am in a Vampire RP right now that is based off that. So, I might be interested.

sounds like fun

Sounds fun. I'd be interested, as any WoD RP I try to start myself usually ends up dying a few posts in.

Interested, some exp with vamp rps. Might enjoy rping a hunter organisation.

Im interested, especially as a hunter. Though I confess, I have limited experience where vampires are concerned, though I do alot of Rping (not on Jolt forums). Ill definately have a shot though.

I'd be interested - I'm very experienced at RP'ing, but again not on the jolt boards.

Any ideas for a plot, or what-have-you?

Im game aswell, lets get the party started....

Sounds interesting.

So - any plans for a story?

What characters/people are or are not allowed, etc?

Like Assington, I'm quite experienced with vampires and related things. I've gotten my start on Nationstates through Assington's first vampire thread, and since then, I've built quite a reputation on my own merits.

Just so you know where I'm coming from...

Feel free to telegram me for any questions. Just be sure to remind me that I had posted in your thread lol.

I am Game:gundge: :upyours:

Ditto! ;)

Fast Requium is having some issues getting onto the forums so he sent me this TG:

My email has mysteriously un-validated itself somehow.

Would you mind posting this for me until I can get it sorted out?

Many thanks,

OOC: The only real attraction I have to the Masquerade series is the political struggle (i.e. the 'Jyhad', Camarilla VS Anarch, etc.), the immunities of the vampires (Described later), and the establishment of clans with unique traits.

The rest of it is irrelevant, as I hate to borrow established ideas like video games and books for my own uses.

Plot wise, this is all I have:

The nation of Faust (There was a previous one, I believe, as well as one named Requium...) is a decently successful nation with a small population and a well-respected democratic government. The hierarchy of the Camarilla (For lack of a more sinister-sounding name, but at the risk of copyright issues...) needs a new seat of power, their current 'capitol' under covert siege by a religious hunter sect spawned from the Knights Templar, known as the 'Disciples of Innocence'. While a religious organization, they freely contract out to 'private' interests, such as private military corporations (I believe a nation called 'Final Solution Inc' has a S.C.A.R. unit for such instances, via the factbook published sometime before this thread...), minor hunter groups, or single individuals.

The 'DOI' (pronounced as 'Doy'), as the vampires have come to call them, execute precise raids on the havens of ranking vampires as they root them out. This worries the ruling party (Camarilla for now, until I find a better name). They send two of their most capable agents (Two characters I will introduce later on in this post) to infiltrate the government of Faust. They succeed, with the assistance of other freelance vampires they encounter in the capitol city, Refrain. Instead of turning over the government to the 'Camarilla', they establish a new government called the 'Requium'.

While they do not remain in power long, the Requium and the 'Camarilla' will constantly wage a secret war over the control of the new vampire free state, free of the political ass-kissing the Camarilla is infamous for.

The Characters:

Alias: Vendetta
Birth Name: Vincent Detta II
Date of Birth: September 18, 1953
Nationality: American
Race: Caucasian
Sired: Unknown, 1971
Eyes: Pale Yellow
Hair: Black (Short)
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 256 lbs
Clan: Brujah
Gender: Male
Description: Vendetta is one of the younger vampires in the Brujah sect of the established 'powers-that-be'. He served in Vietnam in a black-ops unit of the US Army, his file reading 'Special Forces', with little to describe his exploits, which were numerous and grusome. After Nam, he drifted aimlessly, his sleep filled with nightmares and deja-vu from his tours in the jungle.

During his ramblings, he met a woman named Helen Johansen one lonely night at some nameless biker bar. After a night of debotchery, he awoke to find Helen watching him from one the hotel room's chairs. She explained what had happened, what he had become, and what he needed to do. Since then, Vendetta's life has had direction and purpose, completing various 'sensetive' tasks for the powers-that-be, and keeping his mouth shut. Given the chance to establish his own government without the political string-pulling, he jumped. With his sire long dead, given the final death during a hunter raid after catching an incidiary round in the chest, Vendetta has operated alone for some time now.

Vendetta, being a former soldier and jungle-stalking all-around pain-in-the-ass terrorist, retains his knowledge of a few explosives, weapons, and hand-to-hand/knife techniques. He's kept up with the technological advances in the arms industry, and maintains a decent collection of various illegal items.

Alias: Anarchy
Birth Name: Guadalupe Vasquez
Date of Birth: May 12, 1984
Nationality: American
Race: Hispanic
Sired: July 4, 1992
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 132 lbs
Clan: Gangrel
Gender: Female
Description: Anarchy was once the daughter of a prominent Catholic priest and his devout wife. After her sixteenth birthday, however, things quickly soured between the young woman and her parents. Drugs, intercourse, crime, and general chaos ruled her life. At seventeen, she ran away. Somewhere in Montana, she fell in with an anarchist movement led by a man named Damon Wise. Damon was part of the Gangrel clan, a fiercely animalistic vampire sect deeply in tune with the predatory nature of their kind. After several months, he revealed this to her and offered to sire her, which she immdiately accepted. Since then, she has served Damon and his Camarilla connections in various violent capacities, honing her predatory abilities on several assignments.

As a Gangrel, Anarchy has the ability to partially morph herself into a fierce fighting machine of sharp claws and primal speed and brutality. Unfortunately, at her very young age, she cannot maintain this state for long, and must resort to conventional methods of defense. Due to her criminal background, she has some expeirence with knives, guns, and blunt objects. She's also not above using her looks to get what she wants.

Vampire Immunities:

I've read some past RP's where silver bullets where being used to kill of vampires, where normal gunfire had no effect. In this RP, gunfire can kill a vampire, albiet in large amounts after considerable blood loss, as vampires still need blood to fuel their muscles and maintain their complexion. More conventional ammuntion like incidiary, starburst, Raufus, and white phosphate rounds have a much better effect due to their burning effects on flesh. Silver will be treated like normal ammo in this case.

Regeneration is possible, but not instantaneous. Feeding enhances the process considerably, however. Stakes to the heart only paralyze, but do not kill. This does not, however, prevent the staked/paralyzed vampire from being drenched in gasoline and set ablaze, as fire is extremely deadly. This is the reason the special rounds mentioned above are so effective.

Bladed weapons, like swords, knives, hooks, etc. also have a much greater effect on vampires than clubs etc. because of the nature of the wounds, i.e. deep cuts spill blood faster as opposed to puncture wounds from gunshots, as will losing a limb, etc. Lost limbs can be re-attatched with considerable time and difficulty, and again feeding will speed the process. Decapitation, however, is an instant 'final death'. Crosses or crucifixes have no effect either, as there is no religious significance in the vampiric condition.

Flight is definitely a no-go, as it clearly exposes a vampire's unique condition, and if seen, would certainly draw the attention of hunters and mortals alike. It also makes things too easy. Cars are a plentiful resource, as is public transportation.

The usual enchanced strength, speed, and endurance is most certainly still avaliable, for what is the use of playing a supernaturally-gifted character if you can't throw an annoying hunter through a concrete wall?

I believe these guidelines will enhance the expeirence a bit more, and require all vampiric characters to react a bit more like the humans they used to be.

I've got a few questions for Assington, should he report back in anytime soon.

1. How much planning is needed?
2. What are good strategies for keeping the RP going?
3. What do I need to avoid?
4. How can I keep it fun for all without allowing excessive 'godmodding'?
5. Any tips or tricks?

I definitely like the limits placed on these vamps, it should prove interesting indeed.

It's hard to know how much to plan or simply leave to chance. I never did an extensive amount of planning with my RPs. What I did do was have a good idea of how it would start/finish and work out some of the key events within the RP. Then everything in between could be influenced by other players or you could slot in something you come up with during the RP. I think there definitely needs to be room for flexibility.

As for keeping it going, that certainly has to do with your planning to an extent. Don't let idle/less important things drag on for pages, if it's not too important then move on, try and have something involving that influences all characters occur.

Something I've definitely noticed over time is that the more participants you have in the RP, the harder it is to keep going. With more characters you have more to do as far as keeping them involved. Make sure those that you allow in your RP are committed and won't just bugger off if they feel like it. Definitely limit the players you allow into an RP and before you begin have a reasonable idea of how they can all interact and maintain activity.

I'm assuming you're familiar with the basic free form RP guidelines so I won't bother with that. By the looks of things you're going pretty well as far as knowing what to limit and the sort.

I think it would also be wise to put a limit on how old vampire characters can be in this RP. Obviously the leaders of these different factions may be really old and hence stronger than the others, but if we have characters that are many hundreds of years between them then it's not so fun for characters that are younger/mortals.

Hunters. Evidently vampires physically can overcome hunters without too much trouble (although that depends entirely on your ideas of vampiric strength) and so I think the hunters do need some sort of edge. Whether it be weapons that provide a quick and very real threat to the vampires like your fire weapons, they need to be able to kill vampires even if they are reasonably strong. So I guess it's important to not allow too much of a combat gap between vampires and hunters. I think you realise this well enough.

A good way for players to look at using vampiric characters is merely humans with a little extra edge. Don't focus hugely on them being a vampire and being able to do this and that but merely take advantage of what abilities you have that would normally be above that of a human to accomplish. Again I think you've got that sorted out.

Really it's just about learning as you go as it's different with everyone's ideas. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't.

OOC: We'll see how well this new validation works...

First off, I really appreciate Assington's assistance in getting the above post in this thread.

Next off, to clear up a few things Assington has brought up from my extensive but not complete listing of attributes:

Elders won't play much of a part in this one, merely a commanding role in the sense of doling out objectives etc.

Some specifications of the ammunition types described above:

Raufus rounds are special incidiary ammunition with sea-green tips. With a burning temperature in excess of 5000 degrees Farenheit, they work extremely well against upholstered civilian vehicles, combustible things like clothing, and in the case of this RP, vampiric flesh. A demonstration video involving a .223 Raufus by a Florida police department showed the round entering the vehicle through the windshield and striking the driver's seat. The interior of the car promptly ignited and burned the vehicle to the ground.

WP or 'white phosporus' or 'phosphate rounds' are something some of you might be familiar with. It is a white chemical compound that imbeds itself in flesh and burns extremely hot. Water will dilute the effects temporarily, but copper sulfate is required to completely neutralize the substance. Often designated by a white tip.

Starburst or 'bird-bombs' are another specialized round that explode in several white-hot fragments on striking a hard object. Identified by a yellow tip.

Incindiary rounds basically burn extremely hot, about 2500 degrees Farenheit, and are good for setting things alight. Easily identified by a red tip.

Specialized shotgun shells that shoot gouts of flame from their barrels are also avaliable. As a matter of fact, shotguns in general are feared by vampires because of their multi-impact spray effect.

In general, weapons effective agaist humans are as effective against the vampires, just it takes a few more shots to put down something that's already dead.

That should bring the gap closer together.

Now for the start-up portion:

I'm opening three slots, for a total of five roleplayers. Assington has a reserved slot if he wishes such, since he's been an instramental help in me getting this started.

I'd prefer expeirence in this sort of RP for the first one, to give the extended storyline a strong start, and there will be others if this one actually continues like I'd like it to.

So, get going! Submit a character profile or something for me to determine your expeirence from, and I'll make my selections based on that.

If you're still looking for a vamp hunter org, then I'd like to sign up.

If you're looking for a former vampire hunter turned vampire, I'm game.

OOC: Give me something to work with, i.e. a bio of your character/organization...

Name: Abel Requiem
Human Name: Marcus Thaddeus
Codenamed: Quake
Gender: Male
Age: Looks to be in his mid-20s, but is really close to 40 years of age
Ethnicity: Caucasian of German descent
Nationality: Unknown
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 63 kg

Biography: A former ace vampire hunter, Marcus Thaddeus was born in the age of monumentous change in a land of chaos and darkness. From the age of seven, Marcus participated in an extensive range of guerrilla activities. Because of his years of fighting a shadow war, he was recruited to join an international organization dedicated to tracking vampires and eliminating those who became a danger to humanity.

Marcus was one of the top vampire hunters, utilizing the instincts, reflexes, and abilities honed by years of fighting covertly and winning against numerically, technologically, and militarily superior foes. Utilizing the alias, Quake, Marcus was one of the most feared vampire hunters alive. However, he possessed one weakness that would be his downfall, his recklessness. Breed by the supreme overconfidence in his abilities, Marcus became more and more reckless as time went on, taking ever greater risks and putting himself increasingly in danger.

Eventually, on what would be his last mission as a human, he found himself facing a monster, a cunning vampire that entrapped him. Toyed with by a mentally superior foe, Marcus found himself powerless to react. At the end, Marcus was drained of almost all of his blood and left to die. But he didn't.

At the end of that day, the man known as Marcus Thaddeus was dead, the alias Quake was abandoned. In his place, a new man was born. Immediately understanding and accepting his changes, Marcus changed his name and became Abel Requiem, a vampire hunter who was himself a vampire...

OOC: As long as you can maintain a level of realisum with such a fantastical character, I have no objections. I'll get back to you on your participation as soon as I get a few other entries.

Using your format:
Main Characters:
Alias: Avenger
Name: Rachael Miria
Age: 22
Nationality: Canadian
Race: Caucasian
Eyes: Green
Hair: Red(Shoulder Length)
Height: 5'9"
Build: Lean/Athletic
Gender: Female
Description: Rachel lost her parents at an early age to an inter-clan squabble. Taken in by her uncle, an agent in the proto-agency that would become P.O.P.E. She was trained in a large number of martial arts, as well as a variety of other combat skills, including marksmanship and swordsman ship.

Became one of the first field members of P.O.P.E and on her first missions ran into Micheal, a noviate of the Templar Knights, likewise on a first mission. Working together, they eliminated a nest of bloodthirsty vampires. They had since married and both served as the an highly effective team.

Alias: Hunter
Name: Micheal Miria
Age: 21
Nationality: Canadian
Race: Caucasian
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown(Short)
Height: 6'4"
Build: Muscular/Built
Gender: Male
Description: Was abandon as a babe on the doorstep of Rosslyn Castle. He was accepted into the Knights Templar and raised as a member of the order. At the age of eighteen, on his first mission for the order, he's commander had been slain and he'd been forced to work with Rachael. Recieving a dispensation from the Grand Master to take an indefinate leave of absence, and since he had yet to take the vows of celibecy, he married Rachael and has become part of P.O.P.E.

Organistation:
Name: P.O.P.E
Connections: Church Knights, Para-military Organisations, Various Goverment Agencies, Others
Description: A semi-religious order dedicated to the containment of non-humans(Vampire, Lycan, ect) and eliminatation of those who are deemed a thread to national and global stability, as well as keeping the influence of the 'Damned' under control.

He is realistic. If you look at a lot of guerrilla, they are trained from when they are a very young age. And he was a good vampire hunter, using everything he learned as a guerrilla. Eventually, he gets bitten and turned. Is that realistic enough?

OOC: I'm more concerned with bullet-dodging and the like. Just remember that bullets of all types kill in this setting, that every shot doesn't always strike home, and that in fist fights, you're going to get hit.

As for Theao, I'll get back to you on your participation, the same as FCN.

Since the offer was made I'll accept:

Alias: Voices
Birth Name: Alex Trotsky
Date of Birth: Janurary 4 1971
Nationality: Australian
Race: Caucasian
Sired: March 8 1992
Eyes: Black
Hair: Mild Brown
Height: 183cm (6ft)
Weight: 80kg (180lbs)
Clan: Malkavian
Gender: Male

Description: For the majority of his young life Alex was just like any other human boy. His parents were originally from Russia yet had managed to defect from the Soviet Union and take haven in Australia, where Alex was born.

By age 18 he'd fallen out with his parents and left home to make it on his own. Unfortunately it wasn't long afterwards that Alex became afflicted by what most would call schizophrenia, thanks to regular dabbling in illicit substances.

Whilst usually maintaining some sort of normallity, Alex could never silence the voices within his head as he grew older they became louder, influencing his actions and resulting in him living on the streets. By age 23 he'd managed to attract the attention of Malkavian vampire that was delighted to turn him and embrace him into the ranks of the crazed immortals.

Known to many of his immortal comrades as Voices dues to his affliction, Alex has adapted to the life of a vampire quite well and spends much of his time instigating the 'pranks' his clan is known for. Many would underestimate the intelligence behind Alex's crazed eyes and and some of not lived to learn the lesson.

Before I complete my profile I need some information about these clans, then I'll make my choice in factor in his bio. Thanks. :)

Here's some stuff about the clans of VTM http://users.adelphia.net/~tremerebrittany/rpgvampire/clans/index.html

I'm changing my character's ethnicity to German, as it would be probably more realistic with his name and such.

I like vamp RP's, and would like to participate.

Updated my character.

I hope there is still time to come up w/a char. I've been busy as of late, but would love to participate in this.

I'd say go ahead and make a character, there are limited places though so it will be up to Faust Requium as to who gets in.

My country is run by Spawn, as u can tell by my flag.
I say let demons run the country.
Your country will run much more efficiantly.
:( :sniper:

If I get any sleep, I'll come up w/a Char. Chronic freakin' insomnia is killing me!!!! :mad:

I would like to take part still, i will make up a charactor soon...one who will be a vampire.

I might be interested.

I have decided to join if there are still slots open.

Name: Tark (Count Vincent Alexander Amadeus Wagner van Tarkanian III)
Age: 549 (Looks 27)
Bloodline: Giovanni (will change if the clans are different)
Gender: Male
Hair: Nearly shoulder length brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'0"
Appearance: Here (http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/d/doriangraylxg.jpg)
Personality: Not very outgoing, though not overly reserved. Stupidity annoys him an incredible amount.
Weapons: Canesword (http://www.loveleaf.net/ts/image/GREW575caneTS_s.jpg) (aka Swordstick)

Bio:

Tark is an experienced vampire who has trained very hard over the few centuries he has been alive. He wields his canesword well, though his real passion is that of education and the arts. As such, what annoys him over everything else is to see or hear stupidity around him...

I am Admiral Crunch of Expendia. I fought in the War against Emperor Vlad and his nation "The Vampire Peoples". I killed many of the vile curs, and I would welcome and opportunity to slay more of these beasts. My combat record is superb, and it was I that commanded the famed 42nd Fleet to the ruins of their capital. I personaly killed 20 vampire warriors of various clans, but their leader was killed in the bombing before i could get to him personally. The glory I gained in battle that day helped me gain influence and control over Expendia and today, I rule it in all but name. I would however, love to participate in the slaying of more vampires if the opportunity presented itself.

OOC: DMG's entry filled the last avaliable spot.

I want all participants to READ OVER AGAIN the rules, regulations, etc, so there are no misunderstandings. I've set the number at four (4) to streamline roleplay involvement. It will be fairly slow-paced, so posting should not be a problem.

Name: Aeschia
Pic: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/Hyperslackovicznia/44a7f2e3.jpg


Age: Appears in her 20s, real age is around 500+ yrs.
Clan: Tremere
Gender: Female
Hair: Black, layered down back
Eyes: Black
Height: 5’8”
Appearance: Only slightly pale skin, full lips, can have a dangerous appearance. She is almost always in black or red… Her clothing and appearance can take on a either a traditional, upper class, slightly regal or a "club" look. Fondness for leather, usually wears a black cape with a gold chain holding the front together.

Personality: She makes her decisions based on the situation. What is best for her and her people, as well as getting rid of scummy criminals she may run across. She is outgoing and appears quite seductive. Cunning and very observant, she has been around for centuries and is wise and well practiced with her weapons. She is very intelligent. She is very much her own person, but is for the most part, dedicated to her clan.

Weapons: Telekenesis. Martial arts of all types. Traditional shinobi weapons, including but not limited to; katanas, wakizashis, throwing knives and stars, and such, as well as one high-powered pistol, with a cache that supports 20 rounds. She is a stellar marksman, as she has practiced relentlessly. Also, her Nihonto (katana) and her Wakizashi are custom made to split in half resulting in two blades, as well as having both sides of each blade being sharpened. She has been at this forever, and is capable of deflecting bullets with these weapons. Telepath, although she can stop other vampires from reading her mind.

Bio: Aeschia was turned by a well known vampire considered "royalty" among kindred. She was married to him for over 300 years. She tends to wander and travel the world in search of places she can learn new things and meet new kindred, as well as serve her clan as an assassin or diplomat when necessary. She is extremely outgoing and friendly. She loves to live lavishly, and has her entire life. She is quite wealthy. She can be a bit of a hedonist occassionally. She likes to be involved in important kindred events.



If there are too many weapons, or if the abilities are too much, let me know... I just left them from my original char., but I can get rid of some of them. ;)

@Hype: This could cause some problems between us and dealing with our characters.

DMG? How so... what are you referring to... You said "this"...

If you're referring to the fact that these are the same chars used in the other vamp RP, I don't think that should affect anything. I changed mine to some extent, and I certainly can't make up a new one now.

I am.

Tark is the same person in both RPs (though I will probably change his age in this one to be younger), if Aeschia is different, but just looks the same then we have no problem.

@DMG ... her personality won't be the same... similar in some ways I suppose, but not the same character.

@DMG ... her personality won't be the same... similar in some ways I suppose, but not the same character.

I don't care if her personality is the same or not, just as long as she isn't the same person.

(I know it sounds a little confusing. What I mean is suppose you have two people (A and B) that act the same, look the same, and virtually are the same... if you used A in the other RP and B in this RP, that is fine with me... just so long as you don't use A in both or B in both)

@DMG... that's what I'm saying. She won't be the SAME person. I'm just using the char stats, etc., because they're already there, with some minor changes... She won't BE Aeschia from the other RP. :)

@DMG... that's the only pic I have of a girl, I think, so I use that and probably will for everything, (including male chars, as I have no pics of male chars... I don't collect pics from sites, so all my male chars. are going to be cross dressers. :p )

Definitely not the same person, just don't have another set of stats or a name made up. I thought the RP was going to start earlier. Maybe I'll even have a chance to come up w/a new char before then, but that would be up to Faust. (I probably won't... I will be sleeping...):rolleyes:

No it is fine. Maybe I will even mention that Tark knew another vampire named Aeschia (in the Prince thread) :p

And she looks exactly the same... doppelganger!:p

And she looks exactly the same... doppelganger!:p

It would actually be interesting to make this Aeschia the antithesis of the other one.

I have contemplated that. I may...

I have contemplated that. I may...

Just a suggestion, I am cool either way.

Sometimes it is boring to RP the same character over, but sometimes it is really fun if you like your character a lot (something I do a lot).

FYI... I will be out of town for the next three days or so and unable to post. Just in case the RP starts in the next three days. I'm not abandoning it, just unable to reach a computer during that time.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but what time period is this (i.e. technology level)?

I have been trying to create a charactor but i cannot seem to find the information i need? I am not familiar with vampire Rp's but i would like to start, i would be very much abliged to anyone that can help me here...

I believe this is already closed.

OOC: The mention of bullets and such would place in on a modern-tech level. Omit the lasers and such, or anything post-modern.

I'm still waiting on the rest of them to post. So far, only DMG and myself have done an intro.

CLOSED TO ANY FURTHER PARTICIPATION

Thank you for your interest.

Hopefully, there will be additional follow-up RP's for you to participate in.

OOC: I hate having to do this over an over again when people fail to read through the entire thread...

Sorry, I've been real busy lately. I should have something up tomorrow night.

Same here.

I should have something up by Saturday some time. Been out of town...

OOC: These things are still going on?

Adding the (Closed) to the title should help.

OOC: I've tried, but it hasn't worked.

Yeh, I don't think you can actually edit the title that will be dispalyed on the forum page.

Best you can do is edit this onto your first page:

CLOSED

I can't see it! It's still too small! :p ;)

I didn't mean the title on the forum page, just the title on the first post.

What exactly do you mean by 'these things'?

Good question (as he hadn't even posted here before).

Perhaps he means Vampire RPs...

Probably

Probably. I was in an RP w/Merc. Sold. before, but he had to cut out for the summer to go on vacation w/his grandkids.

That guy knows everything about every gun ever made! (He actually designed some for the armed forces, if I recall.)

I couldn't imagine him in a vamp RP!:D

heh, that is pretty cool.

DMG... Waiting on a reply from you. :)

Yeah, I know - sorry about that.

DN- could you post something? This is at a dead stop for me and has been for a while. I think it would be fun to get this up and running again. I think people are in too many RPs and cannot deal with all of them.

I would like to get this going again... anything you can do?

I've been waiting for others to post, yet that seems to not be happening so I'll try and squeeze one out later today.

No no no Assington! lol! I posted this in the wrong thread! :p

heh, that is pretty cool.

OOC: I didn't design anything. All I did was built custom stuff for the Corps at the armory in Quantico, Virginia. MEUSOC-modified M1911 pistols and M40 sniper systems, mostly.

Well I knew it was SOMETHING like that! :D

Still pretty sweet.

Sorry for not posting - I haven't really been inspired.

However, I will post soon, even if this thing isn't alive.

Well hell yeah! I'm getting shit from my firearms club for not going to Milwaukee for the NRA thang... ;)

You and your guns... *tsk tsk*

:d

:d

Ha! I responded faster than I said (for a change) and faster than you expected.

This is going quite slow.

I don't really know what to post, actually...

Me neither... I have a feeling it may die.

*Prepares casket... passes basket for funeral expense money*

Agreed.

I will give it another couple of days before declaring it/my involvement dead.

OOC: I'm at a loss as to how I can integrate your characters into the plot. Perhaps they should meet in this club DMG has invented, and you can possibly go from there?

Or perhaps I should add another character to the mix? That way this new character can meet both of yours and possibly induct you into the plot?

It is up to the both of you on how you want to handle this...

Well... you are the RP creator/moderator... so basically all of the NPCs are yours to utilize in the effort to get the plot going.

However, if it hasn't moved far within a week, I might have to just let it go as I will be a way for a while after that.

Same here due to many RPs (for me). If the plot begins to involve my char., I'll stick around...

I am leaving in one week and this doesn't seem to be going anywhere...

Thanks for the lead in!!! :D

Just a heads up guys, I will be leaving Saturday. While I will be back the following Saturday, I will probably be extremely tired, and then Sunday is Father's Day. So I might not post again until that Monday, but then I will be leaving again Thursday and be gone until July 5th.

ooc: Please excuse me... my meds are affecting this stuff a bit. Thank you for reminding me. If I post any errors that you see, please let me know.:)

Oh I won't hesitate one bit :D

@DMG: ROTFLMMFAO!!!! I bet you get called "anal" a lot! :D :p

@DMG: ROTFLMMFAO!!!! I bet you get called "anal" a lot! :D :p

Actually, not at all.

DMG, you're anal. (It's starting.) Welcome back. ;)

TY (though as you know, I will be leaving in four days).

Aeschia had near first brood blood from Marius, however she would not reveal this unless their agenda, and reviving the woman in the fridge, were both good for the vampire community, without destroying the mortal community.

What is this supposed to mean?

Marius is actually supposed to be first brood with exceedingly strong blood (according to my readings), which I received as he was my sire... meaning I could bring the refrigerated chick back, but first Aeschia wants to find out what they're up to.

Ah, I understand now. (I am not to familiar with vampire crap)

I have probably alerted many of you to this already, but I figured I would make a post reminding everyone. I am leaving tomorrow (June 22nd) morning for a ten day trip where there is absolutely no chance I can use the internet (i.e. there is no internet there). I will be returning the night of July 2nd, but I will most likely be very tired and have a lot of threads to catch up on. I will do my best to catch up on as many as I can, but I won't promise anything. I have to get up early the next day, so I will probably only be on for a couple hours on the 2nd. Furthermore, I will be very busy on the 3rd, so I will most likely only be on for a couple of hours. On the 4th I will be traveling almost all day again. I probably won't be on that night as it is the 4th of July, but hopefully I will be back on the 5th (though I will have unpacking to do for the summer). Oh, and one more thing, often when I get to my summer house, the internet is broken (more literally, the line has been cut and it can take a couple days to get back), however that most likely will not be the case this year.

Anyway, I hope to be back on by the 2nd and caught up on the 3rd.

edit: By the way, feel free to have Tark tag along (and you can control him a bit as long as it is nothing serious).

Who can control Tark? Me? I'm sort of waiting on the info he is waiting on and his interatction w/Boaz, etc. Perhaps we should wait for you, and continue: "Fun w/Aeschia and Jacen!"

DN, you play the greatest Malkavian. I am really having fun w/that char! I can really visualize him, and him pouting, and getting confused, and doing improper things in public, etc. And I can picture, Ms. High Society walking around w/a pink haired, Slayer loving, Malkavian! heheheh!

@DMG, are you going *shudders* camping or rafting? I hope not. :p
Have fun on your trips! :D

You can control him if you want.

Thanks.

I won't do too much with him... :D

Duh.. I was thinking the Zanaar thread, DMG... I'll be fine with this... Thanks.:)

Yeah, I thought so.

"Then there are financial issues. Just running a huge blood bank, testing out those with HIV and other illnesses costs money. Where is this money coming from? Tax the people too much, and they leave.

Would any blood born illnesses such as HIV even affect vampires? It isn't like they test their victim before drinking their blood.

Lol! I thought about that, then remember a really funny Tales from the Crypt where Malcolm McDowell played this vampire who drank out of a blood bank most the time.

When he had to drink from someone on the street, he' would go down this list of questions for his victim.

"Ever test positive for HIV? Ever been an IV needle user? ETC." It was pretty funny... :p

No... I rethought that and I'm going to change it...

Sounds funny.

They could always run the bloodbanks the way they do in Blade Trinity.

I assume Blade Trinity is a game? I know no video or puter games...

'cept a few from the first Nintendo! :D

It was a hysterical episode. He didn't want to hurt anyone so he was a night janitor at a blood bank, but one night he couldn't get there in time and found a victim and questioned him about hepatitis, HIV, needles, etc. ROTF!:p

Blade Trinity is a movie (Part of the Blade Trilogy) with Wesley Snipes.

Never seen any of those...

Never seen any of those...

Ah well... they are all about vampires.

Gael got me into reading the Anne Rice books. I've got something like ten left to go through. She is an excellent writer, and I am taking some of my knowledge from those books, however much of it is not the same as what is played in these RPs. For example, in the books, it is a myth that holy items and Churches, garlic, etc. repel vampires. They can go sit in a church wearing a cross if they want.

Now let's hope that Faust remembers and replies to this RP.

ooc: I was assuming so, or at least some sort of entity like it.

Ah well... we should wait till Faust says something about it.

Well, I'll just come up with the common sense thing that other nations aren't going to go for it and may gang up on them... that's the point basically...

A UN would be cool though.

Yeah, it might be interesting. Sort of a Part II to the story, after they take over the country (if that is indeed what happens).

*watches the tumbleweed*

Here comes the dustbowl... Cover your face!!!

MUSICAL INTERLUDE People Who Died by Jim Carroll:


Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's"
But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends... and they died.

Hype as decided to spam every thread she is in with songs that we all don't need to hear.

You do need to hear them! :cool:

I got bored...

Ahhh..! My eee-vill plan is working! muahahahahaaaaaaaaa!:D

*sigh*

I fear Hype could have a conversation with herself.

I am watching it work right now. :p

If you have all this time to post on the ooc threads, why can you not post on Prince? I have been waiting quite a while.

lol, I know sorry. I just got back an hour ago and I have a lot of threads to catch up on. When I get behind in one thread it takes a lot of self-motivation to get caught up and post.

I will try to do it in the next hour or so.

:cool: :)

Bump for Faust (who hasn't been on in over a week)...

I am withdrawing from this RP and leaving the forums. FYI. Shouldn't be a prob. Nothing happened yet.

I declare this dead. TG me if you think you are trying to get it restarted (as I will not be checking the thread and I am removing it from my subscriptions).
