Society's Rose O.O.C ( )

STORY:

Maxine Vida, the eldest daughter of Dominique Vida, head of the Vida Witches, has reached a turning point in her life. Born a witch and vampire hunter, she was out with her parnter Jacob one evening, hunting the infamous Kristopher, a vampire with a hefty bounty on his head. The hunt went wrong, however, and Maxine was caught while she thought Jacob was taken off to his death. She used her strength and mind to escape the vampire's dungeon and managed to contact her mother so as to get picked up.

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. A potion was kept in the cabinet. 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 betrothed Maxine and Kristopher without her knowing. Dominique killed her sister of course, and brought Maxine up surroundd 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. 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 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.

Jacob was not murdered, however, 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. Each organized group has their own motive, and plan. 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.

________________________________________

There are three 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. Of course Humans don't have access to the magicks, but they can unite with a witch or vampire as use them as their source. Witch's rely more on their magick, as a vampire relies on their super strength. Each race has a weakness as well. Witch's must be close to their source of power (Ex: Moon, Sun, Earth, Water), or else their power's run dry and they become nothing more than a human. Humans of course can die from many things, and vampires are allergic to the sun and when their hearts are punctured it also brings upon their death.

______________________________________
RULES:
No God moding, keep in mind your weaknesses. I'd appreciate a post at least once every couple of days. Keep to the plot, and if you would like for your character to be involved with the opposing race in any way, make sure you bring them together rationally and according to the story. As well, please keep your posts at a steady few paragraph level. No one liners, and nothing less than 150 words. 3 Strikes You're Out. Every rule comes with 3 warnings, when you break one. After your third strike, you'll be out. You'll sign back on, see your character's take over or death, and your reason why in the OOC. So please read EVERY post. ALSO, IT'S ONLY 5 PAGES SO FAR, SO BEFORE JOINING AND POSTING, READ THE ENTIRE RP. THERE ARE CERTAIN DETAILS I'M SURE I DIDN'T MENTION THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW FOR YOUR CHARACTER.


Character Profile:
Name: Maxine Vida
Picture: http://tinyurl.com/ol9zr5
Race: Witch
Magick Source: Moon
Clan/Coven: Currently Independent
Dark/Light: Light conscience with Dark intentions
Specific Powers: Empathy: Able to tell what it is a person is feeling, and if they mean her any harm.
Lunar Absorption: Use the moon's energy to bring forth small energy balls from her palms and use them as weapons.
Biography: Born into the Vida Coven as the eldest daughter, and taught to fight evil with good. She knows her powers inside and out, and usually has great control over her emotions. Her father died when she was young by the hand of Kristopher, and her mother raised her to have a deep hate for the vampire. When brought to the Vida Mansion for safety, Maxine ran across the book of shadows and found that she had in fact been dedicated to the Dark side when born and betrothed to Kristopher. She drank a potion prepared for her by her aunt that let her get in touch with her dark side, and took safety with Kristopher and his clan upon her Mother's oath to kill her. She sits emotionally torn now as she is starting to form feeling for the vampire that murdered her father, and who she thought murdered her dear friend Jacob who was her first love. She sits with a choice to make, either let Kristopher turn her into a vampire making her his queen and ruling over the world of the undead, or take things into her own hands and venture out into the world as one of the only people like her, a being of Dark and Light, and risk death.

Name: Kristopher Sangre De Cazador
Race: Vampire
Birth-Death: 1809-1834
Magick Source: None
Clan/Coven: Cazador Clan
Dark/Light: Dark
Specific Powers:Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Enhanced Senses, Hypnotism, Damage Resistance, Regeneration, Immortality, and Empathy...(These are all vampires powers, except Kris is specifically skilled in hypnotism)
Weapon: A black katana, he rarely uses it, he prefers his hands.
Bio: Kristopher was born into middle class Spanish family. He grew up with his friend: Brute, whom he considered his brother. They were inseparable and always into trouble growing up. When they were they were ten, on a night like any other, their parents were murdered. When they came home, they witnessed there family being feasted it on by vampires; which they had thought were only a child's tale till then.

Acting stupidly they attacked the vampire, somehow managing to kill him with a sword that Kris's father kept on display. But, it wasn't long till the other vampires showed, so of course they ran. The vampires were only toying with them as they chased them into an alleyway. And then like out of a comic book, a man cloaked by the night, rescued them.

The man took the two in as his own sons, teaching them how to be vampires without them even knowing it; since he was one. When they were the age of twenty-five, he revealed to them that he was a vampire and offered them the chance to become one, they accepted. Since then, the three have been together ever since and now have their own family of vampires, Kris being the leader and Brute second in command.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also for anyone Interested there are a few characters, clans, and covens available for takeover. (Remember though you can make up your own characters and what not, but it would be better to take up one of these roles especially seeing as much isn't known about them and they are big parts of the story)

Cazador Clan


Francis- the warrior- The 3rd most skilled fighter in the clan tied in with Brute, but has more offensive skills while Brute has more defensive skills, basically the exact opposite of him, has been with Kris for a while now and his loyalty never wavers, also trains the new vampires
Miguel- the magician- the newest in the clan, pretty skilled magician, but talent is limited so far
Belic- the hunter-By far the strongest and oldest in the clan, but still respects Kris and follows under him, has un-paralleled hunting capabilities and carries a special used for just that.


all these people available Can be altered to fit you, I just ask that you keep their name the same somehow stay somewhat close to who I planned them to be. This does not mean that you cannot be in the clan if you are not one of these people, just means you aren't as important.

The Vida Clan/Coven


Stephanie Vida (Maxine's older sister, in charge of Vida's ages 14 and younger)
Dominque Vida (The leader of the Vida and in charge of EVERYONE (Though I think Roxy still wants this role))
Banished Daughter-Sarah Vida (She joined a different group, one where all creatures got along, surviving off of each other. She was "Dishonorably Discharged" from the Vidas. Maxine was allowed nothing to do with her, Stephanie would sneak off though to see her.)
Hatora Vida (A forest witch, doesn't really hunt vampires, unless they are bringing harm to her forest)

These are smaller roles, that could become bigger roles, nothing is known of them except they are part of Maxine's original four man team..

Maryanne
Liza
Manny
Jacob but he is taken

This is RoxyRose's characters and clan so you will have to ask her for specifics, but they are definitely a vampire hunting clan that are all magically talented and all the main roles seem to belong to females.

Clover Clan/Coven


Nothing at all is known about this clan except they hunt vampires as well and there leader is Dominque's third cousin Marie Sardina.

Marie Sardina

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay so far that is all the main roles of each clan, but like I said you can make up your own person and join them so...

Name: Dannin Killren
Age: Just over 1000 years old.
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Clan/Coven: The Killren Clan, which he is the leader of, named after himself. He migrated from Spain to the States with a few select followers, and has began recruiting and competing against Kristopher to be known as the vampire to murder the entire Vida Coven, best known vampire hunters in the world.

Appearance
Hair: His hair is a brown colour, and sticks straight up in spiky tuffs. His hair is around 4 inches long and around his forehead is a white headband, tied at the back of his head in order to keep his hair in that style.
Eyes: A sufferer from heterochromia, his right eye is ice blue and his left eye is a dark brown.
Face: He has a handsome, if not pale face (due to being a vampire) that almost always comes with a wide grin.
Body: A muscular body, enough to make him strong but not enough to ruin his famous speed. Across his back is a scolding pattern of a severed head on a pike.
Clothing: A pair of dark leather trousers and rough leather shoes. He also wears an open dark coloured jacket on his torso, which has patterns of blood stains in red all over it (some believe it IS actually blood). Around his waste is a belt, it looks normal enough except for the three bells hanging from it on the left side of his body.

Weapon: Dannin wields a large curved sword that is almost like a pirate’s blade. The blade has a line of blood down it, which shines in the moon. The blade itself is 5 inches thick at the center and is tall enough for him to be able to lean on it as if it was another person’s shoulder. It is his great vampire strength that allows him to wield it so easily. He has no scabbard to hold his blade, instead he carries it everywhere. He calls this blade "River sword", due to the fact he earned it after killing the previous owner in a small river battle.


Image


Personality: A rough character, he loves fight and action, and is known to be extremely ferocious when fighting. He takes pride in his speed, which despite his great blade is still enough to amaze some. He likes drink almost as much as he does fighting, and can often be seen with a bottle of alcohol. He also likes sparking fear in others, a job the bells on his waste do most easily. Evolving his past, he is quite sketchy, but overall he doesn't really mind. In fact he loves to brag about some aspects of it.

History: He grew up on the coast of Spain. At the age of 6 he ran away from his family and joined a ship in the navy. He was on the ship for a year when they were attacked by pirates. The pirates won, and he joined them in return for his life. He spent the next 10 years on the ship from the age of 7 to 17, proving himself a ferocious fighter and good strategist for night raids on various coastal settlements. During that time he became good friends with the captain, so good in fact he was asked to take over if the captain died at the age of 15. He also had his back decorated after a failure to do as he was told when he was young, which happened because he refused to kill a prisoner with a pike because he was 'scared' (the real reason was he was too young to hold it properly at the time, but the pirates were a vicious bunch). As a result they dripped boiling water onto his back in small lots, effectively creating the picture of a severed head on a pike.
The most famous of his legends though was how he acquired his River Sword. When he was 16, two years before he left the service of the pirate clan, the pirates (including him) had sailed up a river in small boats in order to sack a small town, with reportedly not many guards. This report was mistaken, and as a result they were vastly outnumbered on the river in a small naval battle. After almost an hour of firing arrows at each other and attempting to board each others boats by swimming, Dannin spotted the enemy commander. Drawing his sword, he jumped from boat to boat, cutting down many enemies in his way until he got to the enemy leader. He fought and quickly killed the commander holding his giant river blade, and effectively routed the enemy force who were so amazed at his ferociousness and speed they retreated.
Infamy of his name quickly spread, and he repeatedly showed similar results in later battles until he became feared as one of the most blood thirsty pirates across the Spanish coast. Then one night, after eating merrily with the captain and the other officers of the ship, they joked that he should attach bells to his belt so his enemies would know when he was coming. He agreed to this jokingly, but this became one his most effective aspects, as just the sound of his bells running towards you would scare and rout a lot of soldiers.
Unfortunately things didn't last, he was caught in a conspiracy (a jealous officer on the ship convinced the captain that his eyes were different colours because he was possessed by the devil) and thrown off board, he had to swim for miles to the shore of a small town. Tired and hungry, he passed out. He was nursed back to health by a beautiful young woman he held sexual attractions for, he never truly loved her, yet they arranged to be married. The fact money was tight, and the fact he had joined the military, meant it took so long to organize the wedding however that several years past, and at the age of 26 his fiancé revealed she was a vampire, shortly before turning him. He killed her with his river blade soon after, and then left to look for salvation in this matter. He didn't find it, but none the less he came to love his new powers so much he decided he was happy to remain a monster in the eyes of others.
Not much is known about him after that other than traveling across Europe, taking part in various battles and wars (some say he was in the crusades and assassinated several major officers in the 100 years war). But a couple of centuries ago he returned to Spain and set up his own vampire coven. He thrived, becoming one of the most successful vampire covens in Europe, however a few years ago he heard of the Vida witches and seeking further fame he took a few dozen of his most trusted and strong followers and migrated to America, where he has now began setting up his coven and recruiting there in order to be a rival against Kristopher and destroy the Vida witches.
.
Powers: Enhanced overall senses, Enhanced speed, Enhanced Strength, Ability to see in the dark, Enhanced awareness, Enhanced intelligence, Immortality (but not indestructible) and the ability to turn others into vampires.
Weaknesses: Women, drink, his heart and Sunlight.

Okay, I read (most) the posts, and I have an idea of the situation: Maxine was hunting Kristopher but drank some wicked shit and became the first of a new breed of witches. She then decided to stay with Kristopher, and her mom tried to kill her. Did I miss anything important in that little summary?

I won't be posting a charater just yet, but I plan o making a male witch that is a skilled fighter and loyal (but independent of) the Vida Coven. That alright?

Sounds good, Tobi and Hunter. Make sure you post a character profile up here in the OOC before posting in the IC. Myself or Fly will approve or request any editing that needs to be done to your profiles. I'm sure you're both capable of making an adequate profile, though. Looking forwards to your posts.

Name: Fredrick, "Freddy"\

Appearence: Caucasian skin, brown slicked back hair, muscular, in late twenties, often weras a blank tee shirt and baggay jeans. Wears sunglasses.

Race: Witch

Magick Source: Cold (as in he could stick his head in a freezer to recharge his power.)

Clan/Coven: Vida, but not directly realated by blood.

Dark/Light: Light

Specific Powers: Cold Grip: His palms become an icy cold, so cold that it would sting to be touched them. If he holds you long enough he can cause frost bite.
Icy Wind: He can make the air in a room colder, but this does not serve to help him recharge his energy.
He can also do other things more mundane like freeze water.

Biography: Fredrick was born into a witch family, to two lvoing parents. When he was only two years old, his parents were killed when attacked by a vamping hunting party. Even as a small child, he had enough power in him to be sensed by others like him nearby. A witch picked him him up, and he was brought up and trained by those like him. He now is a skilled vampire hunter who likes to keep to himself, but will serve the Vida clan if called upon.

Everything looks okay Angel, except for your magic source. I need it to be an element: water, fire, sun, moon, earth. Something to do involving one of those. Mine's the moon, Hunter's is water, Jermaine's is the Gods. Emotions aren't sturdy enough to produce magic. They have influence their level of power, but not where they stream from. Other than that, just please PM an example of your posting, and after I read that, you'll be able to begin rping with us. ^^

That's probably your best bet. Thank you, btw, for doing that. At least now, any of the details I skipped in the Summary, you won't miss. :)


___________________________--


Angel, I'm going to need you to re-read the post I made right before yours. Dominique is already at the house, sitting in the family room where Stephanie is sitting on the couch.

On that note, you have to understand that when you don't take the time to read and note every post in the rp, and someone has to wait for you to re-read and edit your post, it puts others on hold as well. Not fair, or reasonable. So because I want this RP to run as smoothly as possible, and all of us get the most out of it, I'm making a new rule. 3 Strikes And You're Out. You 3 warnings per rule, after your third strike, regardless of what rule it is, you'll be out. No questions asked, you'll sign back on, see your character's death, and see the reason why in OOC. I don't want any of you leaving that have come, so keep up with everyone and let's enjoy ourselves.
