Hi, in a long line of attempts to make an rp that everyone will actually like to come and actually rp on, I have decided to try making a vampire rp set in World War I. The war won't be much of the focus of the rp, but the years that this will take place in.

Here is the setting: An ancient vampire, arguably the first ever born, has whispered his venomous words into the ear of the Austrian Emperor and convinced him to declare war on the nation of Serbia. This simple declaration of war has sparked fighting across nearly all of the European Powers and launched the world into a war unlike any seen before in history. Though he seems to be supporting the Central Powers in the war, this vampire has desires to destroy the world of mankind and make it the realm of his unholy father. Can the few warriors who hunt his kind find him and stop his evil plan?

Once the rp has begun, more of the story will be told. Eventually, I will also add in the name of the bad guy who will be attempt to destroy the earth. 'Till then, the evil Vampire shall be known as: Dominik Konstantin.

Don't view this thread if you don't plan on joining...

i'm definatly into this... count me in

Finally! Thank you for joining East Lithuania. I'll have two of the main characters up soon.

This is the bad guy (He is claimable for any interested in rping him)

Bad Guy
Name: Jacob Primorismalum
Age: Over 1900 (Appears to be in his 40’s)
Height: 7’ 0”
Weight: 207 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Special Descriptions: Has a clean shaven face and skin as paler than any shade of white, has black hair down to his knees, wears a black overcoat with a red tie. Wears a leather glove only on his left hand
Profession: Lord of All Vampires, Austrian Aristocrat Dominik Konstantin
History: The first of all vampires and some argue is the most powerful of all vampires. Jacob was born from Satan and was made to spread his ways across the world. Jacob has long had hatred for mankind and for Jesus rooting from his desire to make earth a place for his father. For the last 50 years though, he has lived the high life as an Austrian aristocrat who gives much support for the Emperor. But now after over 1900 years has found a way to use mankind to destroy itself to make earth the realm of Satan. He has convinced the Austrian Emperor to declare war on Serbia and thus cause the world to enter a war unlike any seen before…

This is who I will be:
Name: Otto Kayetan
Age: 24
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 136 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Profession: Vampire Hunter
Weapons: 1 broadsword, 24 wooden stakes, 1 crucifix, 1 P08 Luger (http://julia.hanovercomputer.com/firearms/mar04/Catalog/images/50319.jpg)
Special Descriptions: Wears a brown coat and has a short beard
History: Otto is a hunter who slays vampires on a regular basis. He took up this life because he wanted to do something in service of God but felt he could not do so in clergy. However he found that he could make fullfil his desire for service by killing vampires. In his entire career, he slew enough vampires to fill 15 covens. He doesn’t participate in the war but supports Germany.

I am intrested and will participate.

Name:Heike Heiko
Age: 35
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 145 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Profession: Vampire Slayer
Weapons: Custom Scythe(Arquebus), Twelve blessed throwing knives, Razor Wire, Several vials of holy water
Special Descriptions: Wears a brown coat and has a short beard
History:A Finnish vampire hunter since the age of six, when he killed the vampire who slew his family. Extremely skilled in the art of disposing of the Undead, Heike has traveled around the world exterminating vampires, ghouls, and demons for the past twenty-nine years. His unusual trademark weapons combines a huge scythe with an Arquebus, an antique hand cannon dating back two hundred years. The scythe's shaft is hollow to provide room for the small cannon, which is extremely powerful, but unaccurate.

Heike does not support either side in the war; he will dispose of anyone in his way.

Great to see some interest. Be sure to build up those profiles.

Nicely done. Fairly similar to the one I created in a preivous vampire thread but works very well.

He continually prides himself on the selling out of several key Templar Knights back during their destruction. Currently Hekvar is neutral in the ongoing war due to his knowledge of who started the war. Hekvar currently owns a veritable small army of about 2000 including about 50 vampires who work for Hekvar alone. Even though Hekvar is a vampire he is personally opposed to the plans of Konstantin to make Earth a realm of Satan.

I'd just like to note that at 7 feet, 189, this guy is gonna be a rag. I'm 6'1, 200, and I'm about average build. This guy is tiny.

Quite tall is the word you're looking for. According to BMI, 7 feet, 189 lbs is desirable, while your stats are in the category 'prone to health risks'.

The hell I am. This guy is gonna be a twig. I'd expect 220 at least, just so he'd have some...yaknow, defined muscles. The army wanted me at 186. 3 pounds and 11 inches is not healthy. And they wanted me at 186 back when I was 5'11. So now they'd want me at....a bit more than that. And, yaknow, I'm betting that that "prone to health risks" doesn't take into account body fat ratio.

Thanks for the corrections. I'm not that good with proportions, It will be corrected.

sounds pretty good to me! i'm in!:)

Great to hear. This will be a good thread for you to try out.

My last NaNoWriMo attempt was a story where sci-fi meets the occult.

A seventeenth-century frontiersman is abducted by aliens. They try to turn him into a robot-man. The process fails, however--they can't control his mind--and he escapes and returns to earth at the end of the nineteenth to beginning of the twentieth centuries. Because he is a tank of organs in a jar with a metal suit around it, he becomes known as The Metal Man.

When he's here, he meets vampires.

In Istambul, he saves a woman from death after she is run over by a carriage. To do this, he must inject her with his own blood. Others burst in on the process just as he finishes, and mistakenly come to believe that, rather than trying to put his blood in, he's trying to take her blood out. He is convicted of attempted murder--in absentia. They never catch him.

While he is fleeing the law, he meets The Theodore. "Theodore" is greek for "gift from God." The Theodore is a vampire who lives righteously, and is slowly but surely overcoming his curse. The end result of his efforts will be that he dies of old age. He is advanced in his art, and can hold the holy cross in his hand and face the sun, but the process has weakened him until he is only slightly stronger than a normal man.

When The Metal man reaches him, a gang of young toughs is beating him up. He takes pity on The Theodore and drives the miscreants off. In return, The Theodore gives him a Crucifix that glows in the presence of vampires and vows to renew ties as soon as he has reformed his coven of righteous vampires, The Children of the Light.

There are three camps: The Cult of Set, The Children of the Light and The Watchers. The Metal Man deals with the latter two in efforts to defeat the former. He is befriended by a Watcher by the name of Jenghis, and takes a student/vampire hunter by the name of Miriam Colbey. Miriam's father, Baron Geoffrey Colbey, was crossed over some years earlier while leading an archeological dig in a Romanian Monastery, and she has sworn revenge. Baron Colbey now goes by the name of Marvel, and leads The Cult of Set.

The Metal Man has some special weapons. He can extend from inside his hands (think Wolverine of X-Men) swords that can cleave a vampire's flesh. He has a personal cloak of invisibility (many a vampire can "see through" this, but most have to encounter it once or twice before they recognize the electronic buzz that gives the cloaking device away) and he can levitate on maglevs located in his thighs. He has the super strength and extended senses that you would expect of a robot-man (some vampires are stronger, some are not). He also has a special weakness. The chemicals that serve as his blood give him limited immortality, but they also have a corrosive affect on his nervous system. He occasionally loses his mind--and assaults on his senses (loud noises; bright, flashing lights; strong magnetic fields, etc.) excellerate the process.

Mind you, I've used variants of The Metal Man and Marvel in other RP's here on NS (I've used Jenghis and Miriam, too), but this story is their "pure" form, the reason why they were first developed.

Before I get into this RP, I'd like an opinion: do you feel that the character(s) can be adapted to your story?

Interesting concept...
I suppose that your characters could be adapted in this way. I guess the evil vampires of the rp could wage a mini-war on the righteous ones. Anywho, just be sure to remember that this is a "supernatural" type of rp. Feel free to keep the ideas that you have for your characters, just be sure to keep that in mind.

bump

when will the IC thread start?

The thing I was trying to get at is that this isn't a take-it-or-leave-it kinda thing. You can modify the concept. No cult of Seth? No problem. No Children of the Light? No complaints here. No Colbeys? No worry. No Metal Man? Well...maybe there's a LITTLE problem there, but...I'm sure we can work the details out. :) :) :)

So...how would you like to adapt the concept? Everything's on the table.

I'm not sure what you mean by "supernatural," though. I've seen a TV show by that name. Kinda enjoy it, actually. Just not sure if you mean that the RP is in the style of the show or that there are all kinds of supernatural things going on in it. Can you clarify?

Yeah, Supernatural is a cool show isn't it? Anyway what I mean by a "supernatural" type of thread is things beyond nature will be involved. This means there will be things like Satan, demons, werewolves and that kind of stuff. The Children of Light and Cult of Seth you can keep around, its just that aliens aren't really what you would call "beyond nature".

It is possible you could try maybe making Metal Man kinda like Kratos from God of War, he sells his soul to save himself in his time of need and becomes something beyond human.

Im intrested in this....but..

I dunno what to be... heh..

Ummmm..

when will the IC thread start?

I was planning to start it as soon as someone asked that question, but right now it seems that Marionetonia, Xai Cheese, and Osteia need to decide what their characters will be like. So, we just gotta wait until then.

I am a friend of xai cheese and i don't know if he will make a character or not.

Oh. Well at the very least we should wait for Marionetonia and Osteia

Bump

I'm interested in this.

I'll come up with a character some time later.

Thanks for adding your character Xai Cheese. Well now we just have to wait for Marionetonia, Osteia, and True Race to post up their characters and we'll start ASAP.

Name: Gonshaun Vaun
Age:1,334 (appears to be in mid 30's)
Weight: 202 lbs.
Height: 7'1"
Gender: male
Profession: Vampire hunter
Weapons: Which one? Two wide-bladed swords, a knife, a stake, a katana, and iron-spiked gauntlets
History: Gonshaun Vaun was attacked in his early 500's by vampires, but not bitten. His parents and family were bitten, however, and they turned into vampires. Ever since then, Gonshaun Vaun has been hunting the vampires down for revenge.

This is my person- he kicks ASS:D

Why is he immortal, If he's not a vampire?

what's "bump" mean:confused: and OOC:confused: ???? hmmmmm......

Bump up my post.

what's "bump" mean:confused: and OOC:confused: ???? hmmmmm......

Bump is the action that you preform on your thread if you want to keep it alive. OOC means "Outside Of Character". When you need to discuss something about the thread so far, or something in the real world, you post an OOC comment.

well, you see, he took this amazing potion from a mad scientist that let him live forever. it's pretty cool, why don't you give your person some?

Mmm, that sounds likely.

Is he immune to physical harm? Can he be killed by a dagger through the heart or a spell, or is he simply invincible to all outside influinces?

And be patient. Not everyone has a completely free schedule.

Yeah, Supernatural is a cool show isn't it? Anyway what I mean by a "supernatural" type of thread is things beyond nature will be involved. This means there will be things like Satan, demons, werewolves and that kind of stuff. The Children of Light and Cult of Seth you can keep around, its just that aliens aren't really what you would call "beyond nature".

It is possible you could try maybe making Metal Man kinda like Kratos from God of War, he sells his soul to save himself in his time of need and becomes something beyond human.

I like the show, too, and there won't be a problem with Species One, as I call the aliens, showing up. They were never really a part of the story after the Metal Man escaped.

In a way, you could think of The Metal Man as a much, much kinder; much, much gentler Kratos. Here are the vital statistics. If there's anything that needs editing, just let me know.

Name: The Metal Man
Age: born 1742
Height: Base system, 1 meter; different body suits have different dimensions
Weight: Varies depending on body suit (usually around 450 pounds, but appears more like 250-270)
Hair: Varies depending on body suit (usually gray)
Eyes: Varies depending on body suit (usually brown)
Profession: Varies depending on identity he has assumed (teacher)
Weapons: Varies depending on body suit (2 swords, 1 ray gun (in right arm), 1 cloaking device, one shield generator). Has several systems, including magnetic levetators, that, while not technically weapons, aid him in combat.
Special Descriptions: Normally, appears to be an obese, middle-aged man. Can wear more exotic "body suits," one of which appears to be a large, rectangular box. For the sake of this RP, we will limit him to a single, humanoid "body suit."
History: abducted by aliens, who attempted to cybernate him, but only partly succeeded (mid 1760's). Returned to earth in the mid 1890's, crash landing in Romania. Worked his way back to europe, where he was convicted of attempted murder for what was really the act of saving a young woman's life. After this, he assumes others' identities as they die, stabilizing their lives and helping their loved ones in return for the ability to stay out of reach of the government types who wish to abduct and study him. Governments, despite wanting to capture him, often find his services useful, and will often look the other way when he is involved in something that they wish to be taken care of discretely. His ties to the intelligence community allow him access to knowledge that is not widely distributed (example: the Spanish Flu was actually a primative Spanish bioweapon that escaped quarantine and got loose in Spain's army shortly before the war began).

In reply to Xia Cheese: I had already made this person over a year ago. I was trying to make sure that it was OK to use this person in this RP. It has been less than a day since my last post. To call you "impatient" would be an understatement.

I'd like to join if possable...
Name: Tom Valinquis
Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Weight: Dont know proper proportions... quite light.
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Blind. eyes are totally black
Profession: Healer
Weapons: Has a first aid kit, a pistol and a metal pipe (used as a staff)
History: Was a medic in the war. He got shot in the head while healing in the trenches, but he lived. When he came out of the frontline hospital he was totally blind. Now, saven years later he has adapted. He has incredible hearing
And seems to be able to sense his surroundings.

He will prorably be on the vampire slayers team, but I'm not sure.

I might stop half way through if I forget that this is on, but I'll try to remember...

oh. see, those are the things i need to know- and btw, where's your person?

View post #5, that's where he is. Your character could be immortal, just be sure he's not invincible. God-modding does not make for a good thread.

ok dawg- 5'10"???? 176 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! dude, that's a freaking fat lard!!!!!!:eek: but i still like him. and why ,exactly, do you have 24 wodden stakes? why not just have 1, and rip the stupid thing out of the vampire after you've done your work with it??

As I said before, I'm not that good with proportions. As for the multiple stakes, well, he's ready to take on multiple vampires then.

:gundge:
bump

sounds good could i join?

Sure thing... Well judging by the number of people signed up, I guess I'll have to start the rp. The IC thread will be up sometime soon.

I still dunno what i wanna be!!

just make a person- put the name, weight , age, what weapon he has, his profession(vampire or vampire hunter or slayer), and his history.(how he came to be, well what he is..

What he means is that he can't decide if he wants to be a bad guy or a good guy. Give him some time.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply.

Here's my character:

Name: Draza Tukovic
Age: 419 (Looks in his early 20's)
Height: 6' 1''
Weight: 169
Hair: Silver (Can turn black)
Eyes: Red (Can turn brown)
Special Descriptions: Clean shaven and slightly pale. Wears a black hooded cloak that covers his entire body.
Profession: Servant of the Head Vampire
Powers: Can control and manipulate blood.
History: Draza has served under Jacob Primorismalum for just over 100 years. He sees Jacob as a fatherly figure and obeys his every command. Draza has a deep hatred of Naturals (humans) due to the fact that his parents were slain by Vampire Hunters when he was only a child. He has no problem killing innocent civilians, however he refuses to kill children. Although he doesn't agree with Jacob's plans of taking over the world, Draza continues to carry out his every order.

How about a young soldier who does somthin crazy on the battle field and catches the attention of one of the vampires...

Making them want to turn him when he gets a fatal wound...? sound good?

For his courage, and bravery.....

Name:Heike Heiko


Heike is not a name, and Heiko reminds Heikko, which means "weak". Heikki, on the other hand, is a quite common first name, and for the second name I suggest something like Henkkola, to sound less idiotic but still keep the H-theme of the guy's name. ;)

Sounds cool. So your overall a soldier who gets turned into a vampire am I correct?

Name:Francis Weldheimer
Age:36
Height:6'4''
Weight:210 lbs
Hair:Black
Eyes:Blue
Profession:Vampire Slayer
Weapons: Mauser 98 Modified With Pop Out Blade In Stock
German Cavalry Sword
History:Weldheimer was with the German troops that helped to crush the Boxer Rebellion and disapproved of their actions. Three years later he went back to Germany. After that he witnessed a Vampire kill a man and Weldheimer began hunting them for a living after leaving the army. His sympathies are obviously with the German Empire and he does what he can to help them along the way.

you know you're supposed to put what he acually looks like, not what he WOULD look like? and how many body suits does he have?? oh yeah, one more thing-- i'm pretty sure that the people in the past didn't have ray guns- that's kind of futuristic- (remember, this is a game in the PAST)so get rid of the ray gun, before more people grill you about it. geez..

Well, he was messed around a bit by aliens, so it's not entirely out of the question. I'd expect him to get some advanced technology while being off Earth for so long.

hey, um, even though i already have made a person(gaunshaun vaun), could i claim the bad guy too?

I don't mean to make you feel insignificant Xai Cheese, but I'm afraid that the position of the main villain is to high of a position for an rper of a fresh status like yours.

The IC thread has begun. Now begins the Unholy Crusade of the Unholy Son (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=511615).

1) How many body suits? Right now, he has 3:

* The human suit--looks like a fat old man because the beer gut holds all of TMM's internal organs. The items in parenthesis describe what he looks like when he's inside this suit. It's probably going to be the only suit he uses during this RP.

* The box--looks like a rectangular solid:

http://www.nls.net/mp/413/box.png

(Yeah, I know I messed up the vanishing points.) The yellow circle is the shield/cloak generator, the dark spot on the bottom is the maglev and 4 robotic arms can pop out of the dark spots on the lower parts of the sides. Used for extremely hazardous duties. Probably won't see much action in this RP 'cause there isn't any nuclear waste he's going to have to maglev through.

* The egg. Looks like an egg, but it's got an outer coating of "plastic metal" (think Terminator T-2000), so it can change its shape. Prototype. Not reliable. Gizmos prone to failure at any time. Probably won't see much action in this RP because it's too sci-fi and not enough horror.

2) Ray gun--this was something that the aliens put in him when they abducted him. It doesn't matter that earthlings don't have 'em because it's extraterrestrial technology. It's one of the reasons why sneaky government types are trying to kidnap--er--arrest him. They want to reverse engineer him.

The whole reason why I came up with TMM in the first place was because I WANTED to put ray guns, etc. and ghosts/ghouls/vampires/etc. in the same story. No one else is doing that. It's time that someone did.

ok dawg- 5'10"???? 176 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! dude, that's a freaking fat lard!!!!!!:eek: but i still like him. and why ,exactly, do you have 24 wodden stakes? why not just have 1, and rip the stupid thing out of the vampire after you've done your work with it??

If you take the stake back out of the vampire without first cutting off its head, the vampire comes back to un-life.

I believe you're supposed to throw the head into a body of water and burn the body to properly kill a vampire as well.

one more thing we have to worry about, no playing with swords in the river i guess.

Name:Heike Heiko
Age: 35
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 145 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Profession: Vampire Slayer
Weapons: Custom Scythe(Arquebus), Twelve blessed throwing knives, Razor Wire, Several vials of holy water

History:A Finnish vampire hunter since the age of six, when he killed the vampire who slew his family. Extremely skilled in the art of disposing of the Undead, Heike has traveled around the world exterminating vampires, ghouls, and demons for the past twenty-nine years. His unusual trademark weapons combines a huge scythe with an Arquebus, an antique hand cannon dating back two hundred years. The scythe's shaft is hollow to provide room for the small cannon, which is extremely powerful, but unaccurate.

Heike does not support either side in the war; he will dispose of anyone in his way.

Indeed.

Hello I'm new to this thread but I have a good idea.
Name: Ali Falkland
Age: 14
Weight: 99lbs
Height: 4.9 ft
Hair: brown
Eyes: blue
Profession: ex-student
Weapons: small knife
Special Descriptions: Quiet, shy, and timid. Wears only a white shirt, wool pants, shoes, and a traveling cloak. He has a small bag of coins. Is a vampire, but does not know it yet.
History: A once promising student, He was ambushed one day by a strange woman who bit him. He woke up later though to find all of his belongings safe. Ali returns home to tell his family, but is cursed by his father and his mother only cries when she sees him. The same day the kind priest Ali knew tried to attack him with a crucifix and holy water, the holy water burned him and scared him away. He now wanders Germany seeking answers from people who shrink away from him.

I think he could be picked up by either a vampire, or a sympathetic vampire hunter.
Think this is good?

Alright, I'm not only new here but new to RPing period, so I apologize now if I make any dumb newb mistakes.

Here's my character (a modified version of a canon based main character I intend to use when I get my tech all sorted out (basically, main difference is in this version's backstory as opposed to the main one I'll be using when everything is sorted out)):

Pic:
Human Form:
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o293/True_Human_Empire/Character%20Pics/post-2-1117467603.jpg
Name: Father Peter Abel Nightroad
Species: Crusnik (ie, Vampire of Vampires)
Age: 967-years-old
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color:
Human Form: Grayish-Blue
Stage 1 Morph, Stage 2 Morph, and Crusnik Forms: Red
Gender: Male
Bio/Notes/History:
Born a vampire, but an anomaly. Unlike the standard vampire, he is a Crusnik, a vampire that feeds on the blood of other vampires and not humans. Over the years, he has posed as many things in order to seek out his prey. However, he has made a deal with the Vatican: He hunts down regular vampires for them and, in exchange, the Crusnik who was a mother figure to him and his brother and sister, Lilith Sahl, would be buried and preserved officially by the Vatican in a private tomb instead of incinerated as was common practice with vampires at the time. While he uses the fact that he is now a wandering priest to track his next meal, his sister, Seth, poses as a traveling tea seller and his brother, Cain, who is also the one who killed Lilith in cold blood, is his priority target. Not only does he want revenge, but the Vatican views Cain as a high priority risk that must be eliminated.
As Crusniks, Abel and his siblings are able to walk about in broad daylight using a weaker than their true form, but still having limited access to their superhuman strength, human form. Unlike the other two, however, Abel not only can switch back and forth between his human disguise form and his true Crusnik form, but he can also switch to two different forms that could be classed as mid-way between his human and Crusnik forms.
In the Stage 1 Morph, his eyes become red, his teeth become fangs, his nails turn into claws, and a gigantic scythe made of blood materializes in his hands. In Stage 2 Morph, he grows black wings and can generate massive amounts of electricity. At full Crusnik, he turns into a humanoid creature with dark skin, black bat-like wings and blue markings along his body and the other end of his scythe becomes a second blade. Abel has also demonstrated what may be form of telekinesis, i.e. can draw spilt blood directly into his body without using his fangs or touching the blood with any other part of his body, except when he absorbs it. It is possible that this presumed telekinesis is actually a result of Abel controlling the components present in vampire blood that distinguishes it from that of humans (on no occasion was he seen doing the same with the blood of normal human beings). When in human form Abel appears fairly weak, and fights with dual, custom .45 calibre pistols containing silver bullets. He is, however, strong enough to throw a man across a room.

^That detailed enough?

Note: As I said above, this is my first time RPing, but I have written fan-fics and custom stories before for several years (I'm not claiming they are amoung the best or anything (they are more short stories (the ones I finished anyways) than anything else) but just giving a general FYI).

Oh, and as I've got to go AFK for a bit right now, I'll edit the pic I've got of his human form in later (couldn't find any good pics of the other ones).

EDIT: Added the character pic.

or you could push it into the light bfore it has a chance to react- vampires burn up in the light- everyone knows that:fluffle:

True, but stakes are more useful during night battles, when most vampires are actively searching for victims.

except for certain powerful vampires who can stand daylight (centuries of training) or a Crusnik in human form. Either way.

Yes, I'm sure that all...these...little......details........are............just

::snore!::

How do you guys feel about having an angel involved in this whole thing? It seems fitting to have some sort of holy creature in this mess of unholy ones.

What happened to the RP's creator?

Oh, and for some reason, its not letting me post in the IC thread. Keeps saying something about the posts needing to be approved by a Moderator or something to that effect.

How do you guys feel about having an angel involved in this whole thing? It seems fitting to have some sort of holy creature in this mess of unholy ones.

Personally, I think that could liven things up a bit. Though, I'm just the new guy around here, so the older members will have more of a say yes or no on this.

I wouldn't mind. It would make for an interesting situation if this character could come in contact with the Children of the Dawn, who are a coven of vampires trying to Reverse the Curse.

Alright, my post has shown up. Its own the top of Page 5.

I'll see if, now that my post count has risen above 10, it'll stop and I can post in the IC thread again without having to wait to see my post.

EDIT: Yep, it worked.

Well, I'll put a character up and give Braziliam a day to respond to it. If I don't hear anything from him/her at that point, I'll just make a post in the IC thread if no one had any objections.

Name: Caphriel (a.k.a. George Bronson)
Age: Unknown (appears in his mid 20's)
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 198 lbs
Hair: Blond
Eyes: They change color depending on his form. In human form, they are grey but in angelic form, they emit a divine glow.
Profession: Servant of Camael (a soldier of The Powers)
Weapons: He can call up holy flaming weapons if needed (bow, spear, sword, etc.)
Appearance (Human): He looks like your typical young human being, he wears brown pants and shoes, a white turtleneck sweater and a brown trenchcoat
Appearance (Angelic): http://www.steliart.com/angel_images/powers.jpg
Backround/History: Because he is an angel, Caphriel's exact age is uncertain but he is quite old. He serves The Powers in general and Camael in particular. He becomes involved int his particular story when he is tasked to foil this latest attempt by the demons to corrupt mankind. Because of what he is, he can only be killed by a tainted or unholy weapon.

Sorry for the crappy history section, but I was having a case of writers block.

Hmmm.... I like the character, and the motiv is nice, maybe your character and my character could work together....

Hey everybody. I just got back from a trip in Chicago and I'm soon to start rping again. You have a nice character Beta Aurigae VII, and if you haven't posted an IC post, then by all means do so. Anyway, since I've been away for as long as I have, could anyone possibly recap on whats happened so far? I'll try and read the IC thread as best I can, but I would really appreciate it if someone helped to save me the effort.

In South Wales, a representative of the Children of the Dawn, a coven of vampires, contacted the Metal Man and asked him to come to Berlin. On the way, he found a newly-crossed vampire, a 14-year-old-boy, and walked--and flew--into the middle of an intersect rivalry between two covens. As the conflict sorted itself out, for the most part in his favor, and, for the most part, without violence, he ran into a vampire hunter who had just finished off a target.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, vampires stalk the streets and vampire hunters stalk them.

that's it, in a general sort of way... there's also some stuff about a prophecy and blah blah blah but you get it.

a vampire hunter who had just finished off a target.

Lol, you left out the best part. My character finished him off by feeding on him Crusnik style. Definitely going to add some interesting dynamics when MM and the others find out Abel's not only a vampire, but one that feeds on other vampires.

I have a speech I'm working on and everything.

The Metal Man had to laugh. The Vatican was at it again. They were so eager to get the vampires all killed--or, alternatively, so cynical--that they would even work with a vampire predator. So...the question was, how many men had been killed to satisfy the hunger of...the vampire eater...while the Vatican watched?

ooc: don't worry, you're doing fine. Except for the whole copying the character word for word from the show, Trinity Blood. But overall, just fine.

Lol, TBH, that's mainly due to that I'm RPing as close to Trinity Blood canon as I can, except with some alterations to make it fit into NS FT levels and stuff (ie, making the airships into spaceships, adding FTL engines, et cetera). Of course, that doesn't mean I can't join and enjoy lower tech level character RPs like this.

Looks like somebody got drunk on New Year's and started posting some pretty trolly stuff. Oh well.

Anybody going to write whatever is supposed to happen "that night, on the way to Berlin?" I can't respond to The Alcie's bump until the blessed event has happened.

the event is that whole thing involving Ali being drawn into the forest by Konstantin.

OOC: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Someone needs to take up the role of Jacob Primorismalum/ Dominik Konstantin. I'm just unable to stay active on this thread and I plan on giving up rping for a while. I'm not certain if it will be for a few months or forever, but I'll see what happens. If you need any help on what Jacob/Dominik is trying to accomplish, just be sure to tg me about it. Good luck.

I don't think I could be evil enough.

Let's do it together. I want to make him an evil genius.

Let's do it together. I want to make him an evil genius.

I can do dark...well, it really depends on how you define evil. I'm not half bad at making a villan so despised that you want to punch his lights out if you met him in RL. So, if I can't do evil, would sadistic be alright?

@Marionetonia: If you handle the plot related stuff, I'll handle the sadistic stuff. Alright?

uhh.... Trinity, he's a nobleman not a psyco

Point is that he's both a nobleman and a psycho. Who but a psycho would want to set loose hell on earth?

My problem is that I don't know what his plans are, specifically. HOW does he want to go about drenching the world in blood? Is there some portal that will open and loose the hounds of hell? Is it more like Satan will just come forth and devour the world? How does he plan on bringing this about?

I've TG'ed Braz. He has a nice character spec on our man Dom that he's shared with me, but it doesn't say anything about THIS THREAD. So...I TG'ed him back and asked if there's more.

I'll keep you folks posted.

In the meantime, I'm going to do something to keep Grestor and Ali busy.

dude, he's already drenching the world in blood, its called WW1, and the summoning has something to do with Ali I'm pretty sure, not sure how though.

He's also a vampire. So what's wrong with a little pain and suffering before a meal, on the meal's part that is.

true, but remember, he's a nobleman, a vampire yes, but a nobleman, that means that he has to have some sort of self control.

Then perhaps Marionetonia should handle him alone, Scaveutland?

Well...I haven't gotten a single word back from Braz. I'm not even sure he HAD a plan for this sim.

I've worked as a freelance fiction editor for four or five years now, among other things. Maybe it's this unusual background that makes me want to TELL everyone the plot I'm working on so that they can concentrate on QUALITY instead of trying to read my mind.

Let's make up a plan for this story.

So far, we know that World War I was started to somehow trigger "The Summoning," which will bring Satan to Earth so that he can (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) raise a little hell.

How is he going to do that, and what does Ali have to do with it?

Let's get started while there's still a strong interest in the thread.

How about this...

Satan's going to need a corporeal body on this plane, so he intends to possess Ali's body (hence why he is referred to as the 'choosen one').

(A little mix of an idea from old anime I liked and another from a live-action movie I also enjoyed).

This will imply that Konstantin has his own version of the Prophesy, one where, rather than mentioning "the judge," it mentions "the vessel."

If there are no other takers, we'll go with this one.

I'm going to wait another day or two. Anybody else with an idea is welcome to submit it.

I like the alternate prophecy idea, and the way that Ali goes will decide which he is, the judge or the vessel.

I also like this idea, it really gives both sides their own reasons to have Ali with them. It's better than having one side just trying to kill him because the other side needs him for something. This makes it a true competition for Ali's favor and allows Ali's character to really develop.

The alternate prophecy idea sounds good.

Sorry if I haven't posted in the IC thread in a while, I've been pretty busy with school. Plus, there isn't much Draza or Dejana can do at the moment. I'll be sure to post once the opportunity arises.

Any time you feel like it. I recommend that your character interact with the Berliners first, though. The folks from Vampire Mansion will be joining them soon. :) :) :)

Let's see...we need an alternate prophesy...and it was Scauvie who did the first one, so...

::delegate delegate delegate::

Hey, Scauvie!!!! We need some help here!

sure, I'll start working on one soon.

Lol, fresh blood.

Still, IMHO, this kind of character would be a fresh change from what's been used thus far.

@Marionetonia: That reminds me, still waiting in Berlin for your character to arrive for the arranged meeting. Feel free to have him arrive late as, IMO, it could add to the tension and help make it that trust between our characters takes even longer to build. You like?

:) :) :)

it takes some getting used to, but it grows on ya.

Ok the IC is 10 pages long. Somebody give me a quick rundown on whats happened. I take it WW1 has already began?

Ok the IC is 10 pages long. Somebody give me a quick rundown on whats happened. I take it WW1 has already began?

The evil arch-vampire Konstantin started WW I for some fell purpose of his. Nobody really knows exactly what, but he's been trying to loose Satan upon the earth for centuries, so that's as good a bet as anything.

During the war, Ali, a boy on the brink of manhood, was crossed over into vampirism. From Konstantin's point of view, he was the Vessel, a key to the fullfillment of The Great Prophesy. Konstantin dispatches his loyal servant, Draza, to retrieve the prize.

Lord Hekvar, a powerful Master Vampire, noticed the boy. Could he be The Judge from The Great Prophesy? Hekvar dispatches his loyal servant, Grestor, to retrieve the prize.

(Hekvar and Konstantin had two DIFFERENT Great Prophesies.)

In England, a Child of the Dawn, one of a coven of righteous vampires, contacted Peter Berl, a cyborg, and told him to travel to Berlin. On his way, Peter stumbles into a battle between Draza and Grestor. Ferreting out the good from the evil, he distracts Draza, allowing Grestor to take Ali to Hekvar's mansion.

Father Nightroad, a vampire who feeds upon the blood of other vampires, stalked his prey in the same woods. As he had just finished his kill, Peter and Draza stumble onto his handiwork. With two of Hekvar's men drawing near, Draza leaves. Nightroad and Peter exchange greetings--though neither of them completely comes to understand precisely what the other is--and agree to meet in three days' time in Berlin.

Peter, also known as The Metal Man, travels to Hekvar's mansion, where he attempts to introduce himself. He can't. A computer program prevents him from explaining who and what he is. As the frustration mounts, his friend, Theodore, the Master of the Children of the Dawn, arrives at the mansion. Theodore describes the Metal Man to Hekvar and his coven.

That night, the demon Hissler (Nostradamus, anyone?) :) :) :) attacks Hekvar's coven and tries to kidnap Ali. It is all that Grestor, the Metal Man, Theodore and the Angel Caphriel, who has just arrived, can do to defeat the demon and send him back to Konstantin and Draza--with some help from none other than God Almighty.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, Nightroad has tracked down one of Konstantin's minions and is ready to interrogate. He meets another vampire hunter, and the two of them decide to strike out together.

That's what's going on so far.

Lol, fresh blood.

Actually, the only one holding things up is Grestor. TMM and Ali made it through pretty much unscathed. Theodore won't becoming along anyway, so it really doesn't matter that he's taken God's wrath in order to save the others.

So...do they have to wait for Grestor?

Meanwhile, in Berlin, Nightroad has tracked down one of Konstantin's minions and is ready to interrogate. He meets another vampire hunter, and the two of them decide to strike out together.

If you mean the guy with the hat Abel is talking to know, he's more of a minor sub-character I thought up for this RP. He's like my 'Q' if I was Bond.

Though, IIRC, he is keeping tabs on one of Mr. K's minions.

I must humbly request that Skauvie make a post detailing Grestor's condition. We can't move toward Berlin until Grestor is ready, so it is essential to know how he's doing, and how long it will take for him to be ready.

sorry guys, couldn't get on during the weekend. computer troubles.

@Xai cheese: I thought you had joined the RP to play a character, IIRC. However, all I've seen from you since the RP has started is unneeded spam. Please delete your posts in the IC thread as they are disrupting the flow.

OOC: ANOTHER one taken from the show? :rolleyes:

Yes, actually. As you can probably tell from my nation's name, TB is my primary canon.

@All: If at all possible, could you please delete your OOC posts from the IC thread. TBH, IMO they are disrupting the flow of the thread.

OOC: First off, someone needs to bump this OOC thread.

Second:

OOC: Anybody wanna help me design two characters of type

villain: nasty

? Please use the OOC thread.

Anything in particular you want in regards to them? Once I get home later, I'll TG you my IM addie. 'k?

What about something using ancient demons or monsters. I dunno maybe a shade or a Minotaur. Depends on what you want.

At first, I wanted to go the Metaphore route, coming up with two other characters that were metaphores of something villainous, as Hissler (Nostradamus, eat your heart out) is a metaphore of The Big Lie. But, thinking about it, I decided that I really don't want to restrict anybody's imagination.

There are TWO restrictions on these things:

1) They gotta be able to work together to abduct Ali. Konstantin and, by extension, Draza have to be able to control them somehow. There might be a different method of control for each of them.

2) They gotta be REALLY, REALLY MEAN and NASTY. Hissler can hit you with a lightning bolt or eat you away like acid. That's mean and nasty. What can these other heavy hitters do?

That's all there is to it. They could be twins or they could be totally different creatures. What do you think?

Well, I got an idea for one of them, but it could use some refining

Name:Kalsipher

Race/Species/Whatever:Fire Daemon

Abilities: Fire in any of it's forms can either be harnessed and used, and since he is a fire daemon, that is how he mantains himself.

Form:Shapeshifts, but keeps the fire inside him always, or he dies.

Ways to distinguish him: Since he ckeeps the fire inside him at all times he seems to have a perpetual fever, not too high, but a fever.

Way of controlling him:Konstantin placed a mark on Kalsipher's fire, while he was in his true form, and now if he disobeys Konstantin or whoever else is controlling him then he dissapates, or dies.

Wasy to destroy him: Either he disobeys a direct order from Konstantin or whoever is giving him instructions from Konstantin. Note:That doesn't mean that he dies if he like, gets a double shot expresso instead of a single shot expresso, but if he disobeys a larger order, like capture Ali in thirty days, and he doesn't that would be one. Or just throw a bucket of water on him and make sure there isn't any fire within a fifty foot radius of him when he is doused.

Little Quirks: HATES Hissler for selling him out to Konstantin and would even be willing to dissapate himself to kill Hissler once and for all. Also has a fetish for candles, yes, candles.

Good start. Needs a few disgusting/dangerous habits that can be exploited to make him look evil. Eating and/or sexual are the usual route, but he could just have a burning need (bad pun intended) to kill people, for example... :) :) :)

How about this character collects and wears body parts (like skin sections) of the people he kills as a form of trophy?

Well, TB, you DID write that you wanted to see more of my darker side, so...

Since this thread involves vampires, did I neglect to mention that I have a very special variant on the species?


* *
v

\ /
--\/---\/--


Name: Desparella

Species: Venom Vamp

Age: You should know better than to ask a girl that!

Abilities: Unlike most vampires, who only have casual relationships with their victims, the Venom Vamp goes for the long term. Fangs release venom that makes the victim VERY suggestible, then hits him with a withdrawal so painful that he will gladly be bitten again just to relieve it. All this time, digestive enzymes are at work in the victim's body, so that, when the time comes, the Venom Vamp doesn't just take the blood, but drinks the victim's very flesh. Can speed the process with a telescoping tongue, or just let the victim ripen slowly. Also, Venom Vamps don't cross victims over in the standard manner. Instead, they lay eggs (usually no more than two) in the victim's stomach. Of course, most Venom Vamps prefer that the victim be conscious when this is accomplished--it makes the orgasm so much stronger when the victim struggles and writhes.

Weapons: In addition to the infiltration capabilities that her physiology imbues her with, Desparella is a crack shot with the pistol, rifle and crossbow, and skilled in French foot-fighting, and the use of the quarterstaff. She tends to shy away from blades...other than her own.

Other: Other vampires are completely immune to the venom and the digestive system.

Is this too over-the-top?

Well, TB, you DID write that you wanted to see more of my darker side, so...

Since this thread involves vampires, did I neglect to mention that I have a very special variant on the species?

--\/---\/--


Name: Desparella

Species: Venom Vamp

Age: You should know better than to ask a girl that!

Abilities: Unlike most vampires, who only have casual relationships with their victims, the Venom Vamp goes for the long term. Fangs release venom that makes the victim VERY suggestible, then hits him with a withdrawal so painful that he will gladly be bitten again just to relieve it. All this time, digestive enzymes are at work in the victim's body, so that, when the time comes, the Venom Vamp doesn't just take the blood, but drinks the victim's very flesh. Can speed the process with a telescoping tongue, or just let the victim ripen slowly. Also, Venom Vamps don't cross victims over in the standard manner.

Ooooo....

Nice.

In case you were wondering, the reason I talk about using one's dark side so much is, IMHO, that once you master yours and learn to harness and control it, your writing gains so much more depth and characters seem a bit more 4-D (aka, realistic).

Sorry for not posting for a while guys, I'll probably be able start again in a few days or so.

By the way, I loved your post on Draza Marionetonia, very dark and sadistic.

Doesn't really fit the character of a fire demon.

yeah, that's more of a Hannibal thing. But the sexual idea is good, that could be how Hissler tricked hit too, since I think that Hissler is a girl.

I like the demon vampire too. It's an interesting Idea, and so deliciously evil.

But the sexual idea is good, that could be how Hissler tricked him, too, since I think that Hissler is a girl.


Huh. I'd never really given much thought to Hissler having a gender. Kewl idea.

Having Kalsifer have a deviant sexual habit would certainly work in the context of a failed relationship with Hissler, but I don't recall any actual discussion of what that habit would be, so we're still not at goal yet.

I can't think of any deviant behavior for him that isn't EXTREMELY CORNY (holds grudges and burns people who did him wrong, burns girls (or men if he feels like a change of pace) to death when he comes to climax, smokes body parts like cigars), so I'm going to stay out of this for now.

Can someone contribute an evil quirk for Kalsifer--preferably a sexual deviance that Hissler could exploit--that's in character for a fire demon?

BTW, if we're going to have the motif that Hissler sold Kalsifer out, we're going to need a back story. Anyone care to help with that?


BTW, any luck with the Second Prophesy, Scaveutland? (Help!!) :) :) :)

I got it for the sexual deviant thing. Quite simply he is a bondage freak. And he got involved with Hissler and she simply left him there and got Konstantin. He couldn't do anything cause he couldn't move. So he couldn't stop her.

Back story, perhaps a demonic Romeo and Juliet thing, but Juliet and Romeo are both daemons and Juliet is a BITCH.

Still working on a prophecy, it's a little harder working with demonic prophecies.

Two problems with that:

1) Hissler doesn't have a body.

2) What could you use to tie up a fire demon that he wouldn't burn to a crisp within seconds of finding out that there's a problem?

Hissler can make a body can't she?

And she could use chains that had magical charms in them that sealed him into a human body so that he couldn't use his powers.

Hissler can make a body can't she?

It couldn't when I designed it. Of course, the fact that it has evolved into a she points out how jealously I guard the NPCs I put together. As far as I'm concerned, she's community property. ;) When I put her together, she was a bodiless being that took people (or bats or whatever) over a la Azazel in that movie with Denzel Washington. Whether we want to stick with that is another question.

I've answered my own question, though. It would work in the terms of the story if, when she did whatever she did, she happened to be posessing a woman's body. No big deal there.

And she could use chains that had magical charms in them that sealed him into a human body so that he couldn't use his powers.

Would that mean that he's stuck in a human body NOW?

so HE can't get out of his body but konstantin could have gotten into his fire while Kalsipher was trapped.

bump

Is this still open, because it looks awesome.

Yes, it is. We're putting the finishing touches on some villains, and we were especially looking for someone to help RP them... :) :) :) ...though this is not mandatory.



Other possible problems for or fire demon:

After sex, flowback catches fire if exposed to air.

Form catches fire when he comes to climax.

Likes to sacrifice young, nubile girls on firey altars.

ANYBODY???

Just to clarify, how many of these special creatures will there be, and will Draza be able to control them or give them orders?

3 supposedly. and i like the ideas for kalsipher's quirks, that makes for one interesting date.

Marionetonia, you have a really mean streak in you ya know that? That is a really evil character, you are taking the villains to a new low.

It rather disturbed me when I wrote the scene. IRL, I'm something of a bleeding heart. In fact, as I write this post, I'm occasionally reaching over and petting the stray cat that I took in and whose life I spent $200 at a vet's office to save from the ravages of a fight it got in (infected bite on left shoulder--not the most pleasant way to die--though it obviously didn't). That 8-pound bag of bones (he was full-grown when he decided to own me) has turned into a 20-pound bundle of joy, and he's purring away now, having had a most enjoyable evening encounter with his hair brush.

:) :) :)

I truly wish that, in a world where torture has been encoded into my home country's system of law (this is called the "Military Commissions Act," though I refer to it as the "Tribunal Torture Law" even as I pressure my representatives to repeal it), the kind of inhumanity I just wrote about could one wonderful day be relegated to the pages of mere works of fiction. That is the ONLY place where it belongs.

It appears that Trinity Blood, aka Seaquest, has been removed from NationStates. Should we pick his characters up and play them as NPC's or just drop them? (Considering that one of them is mentioned in The First Prophesy, this question has implications for the thread.)

he got banned?

Marionetonia... did you ever play in a Star Wars RP... perhaps with the Metal Man?

Anyways... this sounds cool. Can you get me an IC link... and perhaps I can join?

I'd like to be a Doctor/Vampire Hunter.

I don't really understand why TB was deleted, but that really sucks.

I suppose we could just go on without his characters, unless someone wants to RP them.

was SQ and SQ got a DOS on it

@joepolice: It's OK.

@everyone:

There are two things we need to plan out from here:

The Education of Ali

and

The Attack of Konstantin's Minions

Any help would be appreciated. What should Ali learn, and would any of this be worth writing about? How is Team Evil going to get (or almost get, depending on what we decide) Ali in their clutches?

Anyone who would like to help me RP Konstantin's Minions is welcome. Would appreciate it if the Kalsifer were picked up by someone other than me. Draza has the little ornament that he can use to control Kalsifer now, so the rest should be fairly simple. Anybody wanna write his next scene from the inside?

BTW, how's this for a SERIOUS evil flaw for K:

Can't control his temper, and thinks nothing of frying people for the slightest, even imagined, offense.

ooh. that's a good one, perfect for his fire daemon side too.

Could someone fill me in on what's currently going on in the story? I've been kind of lost since I haven't posted in so long.

lets see...

Ali, Peter, and Grestor have arrived in Berlin and are in the protection of the Children of the Dawn. And peter is currently looking for Abel somewhere.

Draza has a team of deamons given to him by Konstantin.
Hissler, evil possesing deamon.
Desparella, Sex fiend deamon who is slightly spider like.
Kalsipher, Fire Deamon who can't control his temper and doesn't really want to be here but has to.

Yeah... and that's the general occurance now. And Draza is attempting to form some kind of plan with his team to get his hands on Ali.

Does anyone know what year it is in the war? Might be useful in the long run.

The doughboys have just joined the battle. I don't know what year that was, though.

1917? or 1918? Doughboys joined right at the end of 1917. so we in that year?

Let's say that it's mid spring of 1918. That way, the weather won't be too cold for the things that the characters were doing in it--walking around in the middle of a forrest and such.

Acceptable?

sure

So...does anybody want to help plan The Assault on the Cathedral???

It has to be from at least two sides.

I could use Kalsipher from one side and the other three come from the other way... After all, A fire Daemon kind of works alone...

There would have to be a diversion in it somewhere; however, I'm more interested in getting each of the characters involved in the actual attack. I am particularly unsure of how to involve Desparella. All of our protagonists are immune to her particular methods of attack.

Well...it seems that the previous post has been obviated.

Nonetheless, it seems to me that, at this point, another cat-and-mouse is a tad boring. It doesn't do anything to develop any of the characters, or to advance the story. Even if the antagonists DO manage to abduct Ali, it's really not going to change the flow of the story.

I've got two ideas:

1) To develop Ali's character, I think it's about time his special powers start to assert themselves. Do we want to reach a concensus as to what these will be, or leave that up to Hetwan (Ali IS, after all, his character).

2) To make things interesting, why don't we have the protagonists and antagonists NEGOTIATE as a result of this battle. The deal they reach would be that the good guys get a certain amount of time to finish training Ali and showing him the advantages of being a good guy, then turn him over to the bad guys so they can get their turn.

Comments?

That's all well and good but I'm not really sure what Ali's powers would include. What I mean is are they demonic or angelic? Maybe they're a combination, I dunno.

I'm a bit confused by what you mean Marionetonia, do you mean after the "battle" the bad guys find a way to convince the good guys to let Ali have a broader image of everyone?

The Second Prophesy refers to him as "the Vessel" (Satan's new body). My guess would be that they'd be pretty doggone extensive, whatever they are.

I can't really design someone else's character for him or her, but I recommend that we start with the obvious stuff--telekinesis, telepathy and premonition--and work our way out from there.

I mean that the battle is stopped right in the middle. As Draza comes face-to-face with Grestor, TMM, Ali et al., the fighting is stopped and the two sides strike a deal. The deal is that, after so many days, they turn Ali over to Draza, and that, after the same number of days again (when the bad guys would train him like the good guys did, supposedly), Ali makes his decision.

THat wouldn't really work, even if a deal could be struck, both sides can't really trust the other, if the good guys get Ali first then they could simply keep him and if the bad guys get him then they could bring him to Konstantin's castle where he couldn't get out. His powers would have to show, but that'd be for Hetwan to decide what they are. I'd say a mix of demonic and angelic would be best, after all, he could be the ultimate good or evil.

I thiink I have some ideas for Ali's powers, but some others wouldn't hurt...:)

If you'd like to discuss the subject, I'll be willing to listen and make suggestions.

Same, remember, we're here to help. ;)

Well...you folks have been busy.

I had intended for the ritual in the temple to be something that happened that the protagonists weren't aware of. I wanted the WRITERS to know about it, but the characters NOT to.

Then...my plans got changed. That's OK. I don't mind when my plans get changed. I didn't start this thread, and, even though I've taken over the character of the guy who did, I don't think of myself as running this thread. I don't think that anybody is running this thread, quite frankly. It's a co-op.

Thought Hetwan made it too easy, though, when Hekvar just walked right into Satan's Temple without even a demonic sentry to get past. This is SATAN we're dealing with, after all. He's EVIL, not STUPID.

Still, I'd like to know how this little skirmish should end. Just for the record, Satan hasn't closed the portal in the temple, and there's no way that Hekvar (or any of the other protagonists) can go toe to toe with Satan mano a mano. I didn't write about them, but Konstantin also has some vampires in the temple, acolytes who helped with the ritual. He was never alone, as Hetwan seemed to imply.

So...how do we want this to go?

Well, I'll show it in a chart.

1. Hetwan
a. uses voices to get everyone to volcano
b. Doesn't get to volcano until later.

2.Hekvar
a. Beats gargoyles and loses to Konstantin or Satan and
a1.dies
a2. Leaves (gets away)
a3. something else, like others arrive

b.Doesn't beat gargoyles and escapes, he wouldn't die from gargoyles.

c. Beats Gargoyles and is fighting Konstantin when others arrive.

3. some other occurance.

LOL!

Gee, thanks for REALLY CLEARIN' THAT ONE UP! Whew!!

:) :) :)

My plan:

Hekvar defeats the gargoyles and makes it through the door--where, confronted by a portal that is letting loose hellspawn on top of hellspawn, he decides to beat a hasty retreat.

Konstantin and the demon army storm Hekvar's safe house. They abduct Ali. Between home turf and their special powers, they all survive, though the Metal Man gets the living daylights beaten out of him. They take Ali back to the volcano. (I would prefer it if Ali used some of his new powers to influence the battle. He could trigger a chi explosion that knocks everyone out without damaging anyone.)

Ali uses his telepathy to communicate where he is. Hekvar knows the place.

Bronson wakes up. They pray. An Army of the Heavenly Host forms. They fix up the Metal Man.

Hekvar, Theodore and the others lead the Armies of Heaven against Satan and his minions. In a huge, epic battle, they all converge at the heart of the volcano as the rift in the universe opens up. It is here that Konstantin's complete back story is finally revealed.

Ali makes his choice. His chi bomb is the class of the field, even though using it exhausts him. No one can resist it.

The world is saved or damned, depending on whom Ali uses his natural weapon on.

Right... I suppose I should say something to defend myself...

Well first I didn't know it was supposed to be a "exclusive" event.

Guess I'm just used to finding every little detail and applying it to the main idea.

The main reason I didn't post however, was from anger. One thing I hate more than anything is getting the rap for something I DIDN"T DO!!!

The voices thing, I checked with that. Marionetonia, sorry about the way I used it, I guess...
I never implied anything.

But the Hekvar thing, I had no control over. That was not me. As for your plan, it's good, it's fine.

Getting the rap?

Hetwan, Hekvar coming into the sanctuary was IMAGINATIVE. It contributed to the story. There was nothing wrong with it, per se. I just wanted to use the OOC thread to coreograph the events, that's all. It was NOT a good thing to not warn the rest of us that this was going to happen. That was taken care of.

I apologise if you feel that I accused you of doing something that you didn't do. You're right, it wasn't you who posted Hekvar coming into the volcano, it was Scauvatland.

But I'm confused. What's supposed to be an "exclusive" event?

I mean, I just wrote down a plan--so that other people can agree with it...OR...disagree, come up with something they think is better and post THAT. In this way, we can get a decent story out of the thread.

P.S. Scauvatland: you know what you've just let Hekvar in for--what's going to happen if he opens that door...(the gargoyles are going to revive). :) :) :)

Yes, but that makes sense since he is supposed to lose now isn't he? I do apologize for bringing Hekvar to the volcano when it was exclusive. But we were kind of stagnating.

occ: is it too late to join?

Right, Right.

I was thinking maybe my last post could be the time for something to happen along the lines of abduction. They could either A) pop through the door, grab him and run. Or B)Uh, well... there is no B, the capture could happen later.

Oh, By the way... Sorry about not posting in a while, had a video report to do. At the last minute of course. :) I had to work all the way through Thursday and then, when I had time, my computer crashed. (Although I did have a few moments of free time, most of it was spent sleeping)

Damn viruses...

Finally got it back up and running, and uh... here I am.;)

(I tried posting this yesterday but... It didn't work... Oh well)

I understand where you're coming from. I lost a major hard drive about a month ago. Only now am I starting to fully recover.

I've got a college degree in computers and experience in a shop. I also have two mobile racks on my main machine--when I want to switch Operating Systems (which is more often than one might think), I just pop one drive out and pop another one in.

The GOOD news was that I had backed up well enough that I didn't lose anything IMPORTANT. The bad news is that I'd stopped backing up just before the drive went, and a lot of things that I REALLY LIKED died with the drive. Even though I keep copies of my favorite install programs in C:\My Documents\setup, you wouldn't BELIEVE the programs I had to re-download.

Needless to say, the setup folder and a couple of others are now copied on a special back-up hard drive.

And don't worry, Hetwan, the bad guys are on the way. :) :) :)

@Kansiov: sorry, it's too late. We're going into our climactic battle right now. Heaven, hell and everything in between are going to be up in arms, and that's the end of the story arc. We'll try to catch you later.

If it's alright, I've been thinking of the ending, you know, after the climactic battle and everything... I think that it came from that quote you gave from Hitler. But let's get those bad guys over here and start the show!

Was the wave of airborn demons enough, or do I have to do more?

You don't have to do more, but it is pretty much the bad guys last chance to grab Ali. Either that or the attack on the burning church was a distraction and their main target was the castle.

But I'm just throwing ideas around.

Hell, they could have already taken the castle by surprise. Or if that’s too much, then maybe the demons only took part of the castle, the part where Ali is.

Once again, just throwing ideas around.
