Journey into Neo-Dracule (OOC/Sign up)

First off, I'll explain the plot. The RP takes place in a Transylvania style nation ruled over by Count Alucard and his council of Count who own fiefs around the nation. Alucard is a descendant of the original Dracula and is attempting to escape death at the hands of uprising peasants by ruling the country over not with a state of fear but an iron fist. The Counts are nobles who Alucard bit and turned into vampires to serve as his eyes and ears throughout the nation and to keep the people from uniting.
The RP is Fantasy and the tech is anywhere from Medieval to Post-World War I technology. Nations belows Medieval tech are allowed however may be at a severe disadvantage. If you plan on using something like vehicles or gattling guns I highly discourage it as its rather unfair. Revolvers, bolt-action rifles, pistols, magic, firearms using cartridges that carry very few bullets, are all welcome and melee weapons can range from crucifixes, stakes, clubs, swords, daggers, axes, hammers, nearly anything.
What I'm hoping to happen here is nations sending in people to liberate the peasants, overthrow the counts, or simply to destroy the spawn of the Devil himself, Alucard.
A variety of things can happen.
The plot has already somewhat started between me and Ravea however I highly encourage others to sign up for this and join in as there's no limit to how many people can participate.
I will be starting the new thread once I have a few sign ups.
For more info on what's happened so far, visit the old thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=557716).
Thank you.
P.S. - And you don't need to fill in any fields or anything just state you want to join and we'll go from there. Keep the number of people you're sending in from your own nation to a max of 5.

Actually I would like to participate by having the Caliphate of Shiistan (at that time) send in some Hashishim (assassins) to attempt to save Neo-Dracule from its evil taint which only the light and righteous fury of Allah can cure.
I could, as I said before, have the Kallis Empire attack if provoked.

Sounds interesting. Any idea how many you're going to be sending in?
And I might have a rogue vampire run around the Kallis Empire if you like the idea, Telros.

Hmm...Perhaps thirty. Thats about the size of the units that the real Ottoman Empire organised them into during the middle ages. So...yeah thats what we'll do. How they'll actually operate will depend on the situation though.
Eh, I'd suggest a rogue vampire and some undead to make him seem like he was a force sent to attack. But yeah, that'd work.

That's a bit much. But that all depends on if they're going to be relatively easy targets to pick off or if their skills are based on something similar to Assassin's Creed abilities.

It could work. He can hide in the catacombs of one of your city's graveyards and occasionally summon the dead around him back to life to cause some mischief.
I'll probably be making the thread when I get home today. So keep a look out.

I've never played that game so I wouldn't know. I'll say this though, they are normal men, nothing particularly special about them. I'll cut it to say, five though so that its a better number. Sound better?
I'm still in.
Sending in a small squad of the Morridane Deathwatch drawn from soldiers of the Penal Corps, basically a recon mission of sorts to guage the strength of these vampires.

No worries then. 30 is fine.
I'm in the process of creating a fantasy nation now. It's basically modeled after a less inviting Middle Earth. It's called Mirktree. Anyway, once it's created, I want to send in five people who are acting under my king's name but are really a band of friends in it for the money and glory, and for one of them, personal revenge.
I'm thinking this cast:
1. Dunedain Ranger-type guy
2. A mage (not obscenely powerful, don't worry)
3. A spy/assassin
4. Basic infantry soldier
5. Cavalry archer/lancer on black unicorn
What do you think?

It'll certainly be interesting to see a group modeled after the Fellowship treking my nation. Approved and welcome.
Thanks, i'll post when verified.

what about a soldier for hire,who wants gold and females as payment?
Could you post the thread link?
And our mage is female, she'll probably kill your guy if she gets a chance just for that. ;) Have a nice day.

And are you asking me if a soldier for hire is allowed in the RP? I'd have to say yes if so. As for money and women those who liberate Neo-Dracule will probably be hailed as heroes if they make it publicly known they're the ones who did it.

I would like to inquire as to the idea of having a female vampire-hunter who happens to be a werewolf. Am I allowed to have such a character?
Captain Black Kat

I would also like to note that she is basically a mercenary/bounty hunter of sorts that does hail from my nation, but is not sent by my nation.
Neo-Dracule
05-06-2008, 12:23
Sure. We could say she was one of the earlier experiments on werewolfs that "failed" and was released into the wild. Welcome to the RP.

Mentioned in my first post on the front page. If you still need clarification let me know.

06-06-2008, 21:36
yes like how far Post-World War I technology as i'am think a Colt .45 and M1 Garand devil may cry like weapons
i'm not n charge, but I think that may be overdoing it just a bit 9i'm using my fantasy account for this).
Imperial isa
06-06-2008, 21:50
if you look into the .45s of the game they fire some knid of magic bullets to kill demons
Neo-Dracule
06-06-2008, 22:23
I'm not sure about the M1 Garand but the Colt I have no problems with. Maybe something like a Winchester, Mosin-Nagant, or something along those lines.
Imperial isa
06-06-2008, 22:32
M1 Garand In 1936, it officially replaced the bolt-action Springfield M1903 rifle may be to far , I'll look for a Winchester that i'll like
so far i have this
Name: Jack Storm
Weight: 188 lbs (85.3 kg)
Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 meters)
Age: 25 years
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Weapons: Colf.45 ,Crossbow for hunting and other missons, Knife and Rilfe
Neo-Dracule
06-06-2008, 22:54
Well I looked into the Garand and I suppose its fine. Unless you found a Winchester you like, you can use the Garand. Happy hunting and welcome.
P.S: Didn't need a bio but looks good.

just checking what are the laws about hunting?
as i do him hunting a deer or bear for the fur
Neo-Dracule
06-06-2008, 23:25
Everything but a wolf is open game. Alucard considers wolves his main eyes and ears and thus poaching them usually ends in terrible ends for yourself.
Imperial isa
06-06-2008, 23:34
he wont hunt them as i'am giving him one as a pet , is ok to kill them in self defence ?

I read that story you wrote, I guess the plot of your country, the one you had a link to, what is it all about? You're a pretty decent writer, I want to hear more. :D I'm interested....

Any killing of wolves is punished severely by Alucard. Self defense or not.

The old thread, yes. Do you mean what was the tread about or my nation? If my nation, I think its pretty well explained in that first post of the old thread. But I can answer a few more questions if you still have them. Also, thank you for the compliment. I have a very strong imagination and I enjoy writing a lot.
So, how do we want to do this, Neo? Our little provocation thing?
Neo-Dracule
07-06-2008, 00:49
Maybe post about your nation's law enforcement officers coming across "another" dead body in your nation. At which point i'll make a post about the vampire behind it and we can go from there.
Sure, I'll get started on doing that.

i'am going to need some people for Jack to talk to when he goes and sell the furs he got as he lived off the land
I was wondering, if a group of Hansian Rangers could "Wander" into your corrupt land? They would most likely be agaisnt the undead rulers of Neo-Dracule for corrupting the natural order of the country.
I might even have my Empire send an Imperial legion to help the peasants overthrow the counts provided the Rangers manage to get back to Imperial Hansia, alive...
