This is the story of Maxine Vida, the eldest daughter of Dominique Vida, head of the Vida Witches. Maxine has reached a turning point in her life. Born a witch and vampire hunter, she went out on a secret hunt with her partner Jacob. Her target was the infamous Kristopher, a Vampire Lord with a hefty bounty on his head. The hunt went wrong, however, and Maxine was caught and made prisoner while Jacob was taken off to his death. Days after being captured, she was able to escape the vampire's dungeon and managed to contact her mother so as to be rescued.

Dominique, Maxine's mother, took her daughter to the old Vida Mansion where she thought that vampires couldn't set foot due to spells performed by their elders on the property. Dominique left Maxine there for her safety, where Maxine ran across her Coven's book of shadows. In it was the history of her birth, stating that she was originally dedicated to the Dark side of the craft, meant to be the leader of all Dark Beings in the world. Along with the book was a potion, which seemed to call to her. Out of curiosity and despair, Maxine drank the potion, sure that she would be able to overcome to any cravings she had for evil. Upon Dominique's return, she informed Maxine of the rest of her history, about how Dominique's sister, Melody betrothed Maxine and Kristopher without her knowing. Dominique killed her sister of course, and brought Maxine up surrounded by good and honest Witches.

Maxine wasn't exactly happy with the lies that had been told to her, and after informing her mother of her consumption of the potion, Dominique tried to kill her. By this time Kristopher tracked the witches down, and ended up rescuing Maxine from her mother, taking her to her cousin so as to get answers to her questions. Hatora, a Vida rogue witch/protector of a vast forest, explained to Maxine what kind of being she was now. Her body was a vessel for the Good and Dark powers of the world, leaving her to do with them what she will. Maxine chose to stay with Kristopher, as he was intent on carrying out their betrothal, so she was sure he wouldn't try to kill her, as she wasn't so sure of her mother.

However not everyone was happy with Kristopher's decision to bring in the daughter of their sworn enemy into their clan. Most of all who hated this decision was Ana, his first vampire love. Meanwhile, Jacob has miraculously survived, and is currently trying to contact Maxine as he insists on helping her make the right choice of what to do with her new found powers.

Maxine's choice is indeed a difficult one. Whichever side she chooses to represent will be the dominant one. Not a single person had ever been able to consume a Dark Potion and be born of the Light, except for her. Kristopher needs for her to choose him as her husband and let him change her into a vampire as well, which will allow them the greatest source of power ever known to his kingdom. The Vida's however, are steadily trying to find the whereabouts and kill off each of the vampires, exterminating the threat of evil taking over the world. There are also other groups out to achieve their own goals. The only real secret weapon in the entire mixture is Jacob, as no one knows that he is Maxine's equal. He came to the clan as a wanderer, keeping his true powers secret. Now it's a race for a power, and whichever party reaches the finish line first will hold the fate of the world in their hands.

ABOUT

---

This is part two of a RP that started about a year ago. All of the characters have a past in the RP... the biographies assigned to them are a small summary of this past. Each character has already been laid out, and is ready to be picked up and added to by someone such as yourself.

We will pick up the story with Maxine confronting Dannin in a downtown pub called Avalon, with Mikael (her personal slave) at her side. Kristopher is awaiting Maxine's attendance at the first formal meeting of the royal committee regarding the extermination of the Vidas. Ana is hunting down to confront Jacob on his attempt to retrieve Maxine. Jacob and Liza are trying to outrun the leopard chasing them (Ana in a transformed state), when suddenly confronted by a female vampire (Ana), whom Jacob recognized from back at the Cazador Castle.

Stephanie, Angel, and Frederick are back at the Vida Manor engaging in a heated discussion regarding the issue of Maxine and whether or not she is truly a threat. Dominique is on her way to Hatora's Hut to warn her away from aiding Maxine or any of her new friends, or face high treason against the Court of Witches, who will remove her powers forever.

Sarah, Hatora, Marie, and Manny are all at the Hut in the Grey-Veil Forrest awaiting Dominique, as Manny was able to warn them of their oncoming visitor ahead of time.

Part 1

GROUPS

---

Below are a few of the major groups of the RP. This is mainly for brief summarization of each group. Your character doesn't have to be in one, but if you want your character to be in one, choices aren't limited to these either.

Vida Coven
This is the most powerful coven in terms or power and numbers. Opposing covens don't usually battle each other for power, as they all share the same instinct for the extermination of all the undead and other evil. However, the leader of this coven has an unusual taste for the dark magic. Their habits are not so subtle, so most of the other covens don't go out of their way to align themselves with the Vidas. The same can be said for those looking to challenge them. This coven also has very strong family bonds. To become part of this coven, one must actually be born into it or blessed in.

Ipswich Coven
The Ipswich have recently migrated to the Vida area, following their mortal enemy, Dannin Krillen, who is responsible for bringing the coven to the brink of extinction. Upon sensing the powerful auras of the vampires in the community, they have chosen to stay and attempt revival of great ancestor. Together, the remnants of the Ipswich family hope to restore their Covent to its former greatness.

Clover Coven
This Coven is full of independent witches who have broken free of the laws of their families, either by force or choice. This is also the only coven that allows other races to join. Their soul desire is to unite everyone into one peaceful Coven and defeat evil without killing off each other.

Cazador Clan
Oldest in power, this clan has eluded the Vida's attempt of their death for centuries. Their thirst for death and power have come close to destroying them, only until recently have the power struggles been a problem within the clan. With Kristopher’s new Queen, Maxine, many of the vampires aren't sure of their leader’s intentions. The thought of a witch within the clan threatens the very demeanor of their clan: to destroy all witches or be destroyed.

Krillen Clan
This Clan arrived as they detected the power of Kristopher's new Queen. Thirsty for power and new allegiances in the world, they came with the idea they might be able to join up with the Cazadors and defeat the witches once and for all. Leaving only the Cazadors to defeat, which would be easier if they were able to get to know the vampires and their ways. Sure of that Kristopher was weak in mind enough to turn a witch into his Queen; he would welcome new friends into his community.

ROLES

---

These are available roles within the RP. Be aware that you do not have to have a role, but since each role is somewhat necessary and have customization possibilities, it would be wise to choose one.

Vida Coven
Dominique Vida: TAKEN

Stephanie Vida: TAKEN

Angel Vida: Currently only able to draw energy from the source, cannot manipulate it's powers for spells. She is studying and training with Stephanie to learn
Biography: Angel is a distant Cousin of the Vidas. She heard from her Aunt when Maxine betrayed the Coven, and was chosen as her replacement. She is striving to live up to the challenge, and thinks highly of herself and skills.

Fredrick: Frederick was a runaway who stumbled upon Stephanie one day in the village, in which she fed him and sensed his Magickal powers, inviting him into her home where Dominique told her she could take him on as a pet, to train him as her own. Since then, he has gotten very familiar with the history of the Vidas, only recently taking more initiative to focus on his training.

Ispich Coven
Aramus Ipswich: A second son of the 11th Century Ipswich family. Born with unnatural abilities he was shunned by most of his family. He leads the warrior witches and hunters into many battles against evil, which his older brother, Rudolph took the claim. His very brother then betrayed and tricked him, and imprisoned him in a magical tomb, hoping his energy would diminish and he would die, as not even Rudolph had the strength to stop Aramus in open combat.

Christopher Mason: Leader of modern day Ipswich Coven. There are only two remaining survivors, Darren and himself. He spent most of his life trying to find a way to release the imprisoned Aramus, so that he may once again bring the Coven to full glory of ancient times.

Darren Mason: He has always been the supporting factor in his brother’s life and wants nothing more than to see his family whole and happy again.

Clover Coven
Hatora Vida: Hatora strongly believes in peace, and spends her efforts and time in trying to unite all races in a harmonious unit on the planet. As the leader of the Clover Coven, she teaches her followers the same opinions, and reaches out to all who would ask for help. Dominique and Hatora are first cousins, however they do not speak unless absolutely neccesary. Dominique thinks her Coven an abomination to the Witch race, and only calls upon her for healing. Hatora, being the kind soul she is, always obliges.

Sarah Vida: TAKEN

Marie Sardina: Marie came from a gypsy wagon, using her powers for show. Upon stumbling into Hatora's village, she found her true identity and what she was really capable of. Since, she has been with Hatora. She has a distinct distaste for the Vida Clan, and all Vampires. Seeing as this is against Hatora's principles, she makes it a point to veil her true opinions, and find peace within herself.

Manny: Manny's history is unknown, as he is a very mysterious being. He showed up at Hatora's door one day, and has yet to leave her side. He barely speaks, only to Hatora, and when he does, it is only when spoken to.

Cazador Clan
Kristopher Cazador: TAKEN

Maxine Vida: TAKEN

Ana Omarskva: Natashiana served as Kristopher's General, until recently when she fled the castle due to her jealousy of Maxine's new role as his Queen. As she remains a mysterious threat to Maxine, only herself and Kristopher know of her true intentions.

Brute: [Temporarily RPed by FlySociety, but still available] General in Kristopher's undead army as well right hand man, personal bodyguard, and oldest friend. Brute has been by Kristopher's side since the very beginning, he thinks of him as his older brother, even though Brute is older, stronger, and bigger. He is often described as a gentle giant by those who are close to him, but he would quickly dismantle a human for looking at his family the wrong way.

Belic: [Temporarily RPed by FlySociety, but still available] General in Kristopher's undead army, chosen for years of experience and skills in hunting and tracking. Belic is by far strong enough to be the leader of the clan or even start his own, but he considers himself too old to contend in the bloodthirsty politics of today’s world. His role in the clan is more of an advisor, than active soldier and he is quite comfortable falling under the young vampire's rule. He is also the one who turned Kristopher and Brute, and so he views them as his sons and they view him as a father.

François: [Temporarily RPed by FlySociety, but still available] General in Kristopher's undead army, Francis was chosen for his unrivaled skills as a warrior and lethality. He pledges his loyalty to Kristopher after he saved his vampire life from coming to an end. His duties within the clan are to train new vampires and carry out personal hits for Kristopher.

Miguel: [Temporarily RPed by FlySociety, but still available] Newest member to the family that is Kristopher's general. Before Maxine, Miguel was the only one within the clan with true magical abilities. That very talent is why he rose through the ranks so quickly. He is young and cocky, but is very skilled. Miguel has only recently gained everyone's trust, for he used to be a wizard vampire hunter in his human life, but he swears he has always secretly loved vampires and has proven his love for his new life a hundred times over.

Krillen Clan
Dannin Krillen: TAKEN

Solo
Jacob Henin: In the beginning of his vampire hunting career, he hunted with Maxine. He was with her the day she became trapped by Kristopher in his house. Kristopher's brute help disabled Jacob, knocking him unconsciousness and leaving him to die in a nearby alley. Because of Jacob's power, he was able to pull himself up. Now he wished he had never even tried, as he found his partner hooked up with the same vampire, claiming to be his Queen. The only person Jacob has said two words to is the female Witch Liza who started following him for his companionship, and the Vampire known as Ana that followed him to the woods after his confrontation with Maxine and Kristopher.

Liza: TAKEN

APPLICATION/RACES

---

There are three main races in this story: Witches, Vampires, and Humans. Each race has a choice to represent the Dark or Light sides, and each with their own sets of powers. Every race has some access to magic, but it will never be as strong as a true witch or wizard. Also humans don't have direct access to Magicks, but along with their choice of trained fighting styles, they can unite with a Witch or Vampire and use them as their source.

Witches rely more on their Magick, as a Vampire relies on their natural abilities. Each race has a weakness as well.
Witches must be close to their source of power (Ex: Moon, Sun, Earth, Water), or else their powers run dry and they become nothing more than a Human. Humans of course, can die from many things. Vampire are allergic to the sun, and when their hearts are punctured, this also brings upon their death.
