Vampire Roleplay

Plot/Lore


Taking place in Modern Day Earth, the world (most specifically Humanity) are unaware that creatures of myth and legend are in fact real. Vampires, the stuff of Horror Movies and Books, are just that a literary device to entertain the masses. Yet all legends and tales of the Supernatural have a basis in reality. A reality long since forgotten by Man. Vampires live amongst them, in secret, living out their eternity within pockets of communities known as covens. Some are quite large and some are quite small, but they all adhere to an overarching Government body known as the High Council. The Council is made up of the most venerable of Heads from chosen covens. Yet the highest authority figure is the Head of the High Council who is given the honorary title of Count.

A Count can only rise if voted upon by the rest of the Council, and in the event of a tie, the Viscount (Vice Count) will end it with his/her decision. Beyond that Covens usually follow the orders of a Head Vampire, which why often Covens are referred to as Families since many of it's members are descendants from the Head's bite. Of course outsiders may be added if they prove themselves to be worthy of entering their family. A vampire can be banished from a Coven which is considered one of the highest punishments besides death. Yet, when a Vampire turns Rogue then it's the job of the Coven to report it. Usually they are required to handle these disputes but if they pose a significant danger to the Council then they will send the Regulators. The Regulators are the Law Enforcement of the High Council. They arrive to protect the balance between Vampires and Humans and ensure peace amongst the Covens. They are highly trained warriors, some of the very best that Vampirekind has to offer.

Regulators are often treated with respect for the position within Vampire Society. Almost like the Knights of old. One of the heroes of the story, Caitlin is one such Regulator. She was called upon by the High Council to investigate Aldritch Morose, a rogue Vampire who is gaining a dangerous following. He is hiding out some where and his threats to end the Truce is one that isn't taken lightly. Although it's already bad enough, Aldritch also alludes to finding a special artifact, one of legend amongst the Vampires. If he were to find it, then more than the Truce would be broken. It's a race against time, a Caitlin tries her best to find clues as to where the Revolutionary is hiding. Unbeknownst to her this would transform into one very strange case, as a cast of eclectic characters joins her along the way. Some are welcomed, some are uneasy, and some are just a pain, but these group of strangers will end up clashing with Aldritch Morose and his faction of Vampire Supremacists.

The artifact, Aldritch seeks is called the Blood Diamond. Legend states it was created by none other than Count Dracula, the Greatest of their Kind, by sacrificing the blood of the innocent. Dracula's battles with Mankind were coming towards a boiling point. In order to raise his Vampiric Army, he learned form Demonic Entities an ancient ritual, one that may turn the tide in Dracula's campaign. On the night of the Blood Moon, an object of purity (in this case a Diamond) must be drenched in the blood of the innocent (which is also pure). In order to create an object that is capable of empowering Dracula as well as creating Vampires on a massive scale without the need to taint their blood. It is also said it can reverse the Curse of Vampirism as well. It is said Dracula had success in creating the Diamond but never got the chance to use it. As for the Diamond it was lost after Dracula met his demise. However there are clues as to where it may be located, clues that Aldritch has been collecting.
