The Sacrifice (OOC) ( )

IC thread --->http://www.roleplaygateway.com/the-sacrifice-t32982.html<---- IC thread



The bloodthirsty beings known as none other than vampires all come around on this ‘special’ day. The reason for this gathering is famously known amongst the vampires, it’s the day for a sacrifice to be made. One reason for making a sacrifice is for the higher-ranking vampires as an offering or to show your loyality towards a higher-ranking vampire. Often the sacrifice is either killed or sucked dry of blood sometimes if one is really trying to prove him or herself they’ll make the human a vampire but if you do this you are fully responsible of the one you’ve made a vampire.

I know you probably want answers to your questions, like what is a high-ranking vampire?

A high-ranking vampire is often an elder who has been around a long time and proven him or herself worthy to their ‘leader’. Let’s say you are a fairly new vampire, you cannot just become a high rank at your own desire, usually. The most famous known way to become a high-ranking vampire is by making many humans into vampires and turning them into great fighters. It may sound easy but it is a very difficult job, many times the new vampire is stubborn and will not follow orders or resents the one that made them a vampire because they had no desire to become one.

Who's this great leader or theirs?
The leader is known as Kiazak he's supposed to be the strongest and wisest vampire of all of them but some seriously doubt this and dont like being under his rain. Sadly, it appears that the rumors about him being the strongest are true because no one can seem to beat him but no one likes his rules.


Plot ~
Vampires prepare themselves for this very ‘special’ day since it only comes around once every few years. As many know (at least here) vampires tend to travel in very small groups and these groups tend to bring one sacrifice to present to the leader from all of them instead of all of them bringing their own. Way to many people would die if they did that and vampires must have something to eat so they came up with this idea. Most vampires love this get-together it is their one and only ‘holiday’ where they show their respect and honor towards the high-ranking vampires. Plus they tend to have a ‘little’ snack after the sacrifices have been made. But my question is what would happen when one vampire starts to get way to close to a human?

Will they be caught? Will the human be killed? Who knows but if you really want to find out come and join us on this exciting, heart throbbing, painful adventure.

Extra Info ~
All vampires have great speed at times they may seem to be untouchable but they of course have their weaknesses.

That’s about it I’ll have my character sheet up as soon as I can ^-^

I do have a few quick questions, although your idea looks very interesting. ^_^

1) Is one allowed to play a human character?
2) Is doubling allowed?
3) How many RPers are you hoping for?

Most noticeably, 4) Do your vampires have any specific racial traits that should be known? (For example; special powers, physical ways of identification such as oddly colored eyes or something of the like, or 'superior' physical power?)


Thanks ahead of time for taking the time to read and consider my questions, I appreciate it. I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

The sacrifice is open to be played for who ever asks and Selene Hime here are my answers to your questions.

1. Is one allowed to play a human character? Yes
2. Is doubling allowed? If you're talking about making more than one character, yes, if it's other wise I dont know what you mean.
3. How many RPers are you hoping for? I hadn't really thought about it I guess anywhere from 5-15 people
4. Do vampires have any specific racial traits that should be known? (For example; special powers, physical ways of identification such as oddly colored eyes or something of the like, or 'superior' physical power?) Well besides the speed there are the eyes when one is in their true form their eyes turn a shade of light yellow. The only special powers or abilities they have are the speed and they're very powerful. They can lift very heavy things but this takes a lot of the energy out of their bodies so they dont usually use the strength unless it's a life threating situation.


Anymore questions? If so I'd love to answer them ^-^

Hmm,
We might have a problem here I don't mind if you play the sacrifice but I think, if I'm not mistaken, that Melophone_Master asked if that the spot was open because they wanted to play it. If Melophone doesn't want to play the sacrifice though you can feel free to play her/him ^-^

Well, I do actually have three more, XD. But, thanks for answering my first four. My last ones (for the moment at least), are:

1) What does the general "True Form" look like? Is it still humanoid, etc?

2) Would my human character be acceptable as a vampire-hunter (whom would be admittedly raised with the prejudice that vampires are nothing more than murderous humanoids, but is later open for change of heart, XD)?

3) What timeframe is this set in?


So far, though, this is only getting more and more interesting. ^_^

1. What does the general "True Form" look like? Is is still humanoid, etc? Well when I picture the vampires I was thinking about is yellow eyes probably fangs and well wings. It's kind of weird sounding but in my head it looks really good of course your character doesn't have to look anything like this if you don't want him/her to.

2. Would my human character be acceptable as a vampire-hunter (whom would be admittedly raised with the prejudice that vampires are nothing more than murderous humanoids, but is later open for change of heart, XD)? Definitely! That sounds very interesting and it would keep the story entertaining.


No problem Melophone_Master I guessed that you wanted the spot I just wanted to be sure before I let anyone else have it ^-^ and you're accepted too great character sheet!

No problem, that would actually be very cool. Besides, its very different from the usual picture of vampires. (Having created my own alternation of the race, I definitely appreciate your change from the norm, too. ^_^)

Okay, thanks. And, I agree, it'll definitely spice up the story. Besides, it'll be good for character development when she starts to question the beliefs she was raised with. After all, even if some of the vampires might fit the description, not all of them would be heartless killers.

Alright, last question, XD. Then I'll start making my characters.

What timeframe is this set in?

What timeframe is this set in? Hadn't thought a whole lot about it but if I had to pick it would probably be present because I personally don't want it to be way back in 'the day' or anything but I dont really want it to be in the future either.

Does that answer all your questions? I'd be happy to answer more if you have any ^-^ and I'll be posting my character sheet real soon I promise.

Alright, I thought I'd ask since I normally RP in the midevil Fantasy setting. Anyway, now I'll start on my two CS's. Thanks, though. ^_^

Name: Daisuke Kasi
Age: 158
What age you look: 18
Role: Vampire
Gender: Male
Human Appearance: Image
True Appearance:Image
History: Daisuke has always been somewhat daring which has always led to trouble for him and usually anyone and everyone around him. When Daisuke was little his parents had died in a car accident and so he had lived with his grandmother since she was the only other living member of his family. Daisuke would always get into trouble some how and one day he got into big trouble for stealing and his grandmother could take no more. Sending him to the police to decide what would happen just made Daisuke resent his grandmother even more. He ended up living with foster parents for about a month or so before running away never to be seen again, or so they hoped. Since then Daisuke has lived alone and learned how to fight for himself.
Personality: Daisuke is actually kind somewhere deep deep deep down but usually he puts up a little front. He is very harsh and makes sarcastic jokes most of the time if he’s helping you there’s something in it for him. Daisuke does a lot of things for his own personal gain and doesn’t usually care what happens to anyone else. Daisuke is very complicated to figure out he’s not an open book you can flip through it takes a lot to reach the real Daisuke. Only having few friends makes him very protective over them even if it costs him his life to protect them. Most of the time it takes awhile to get to know what Daisuke is really like; even though he acts all tough he can be very sensitive at times.
Other: N/A for now I might change it later


I might possibly make another character later I guess it just depends on how well the roleplay is going ^-^ but anyway here's my character sheet.

I'll be adding more to this profile later, but unfortunately I've gotta go for the night. I hope it is sufficient enough to start with, though.

~ Edit ~

Alright, I think I've touched this up to where I'm satisfied with it for a while.




Name: Helena Rachel Burke

Age: 21

“Role”: Human, Vampire Hunter

Gender: Female

Human Appearance: Helena stands roughly 5’6, weighing around 120 pounds. Her lean frame is lightly tanned and muscular from long hours of physical training; although a livid crimson scar is visible not far above her right collar bone from a past battle, but labeled as a “sparring accident” when people ask. She is, however, stronger than she looks.

Her long, pale blonde hair is usually bound into a loose braid, although it falls halfway down her back when loose. Helena’s eyes are a cool silver, critically evaluating and rarely gentle when observing. Smooth control can be seen in her movements, gleaned from the same training that she spent so much time on.

- Attire: She generally wears faded blue jeans and black ankle-length boots, a simple black belt running through the loops. Her belt buckle features two crossed swords. She also wears a blue denim jacket over her plain white tank-top, although it is usually unbuttoned to allow for movement.

Helena’s weapons are tucked down each boot, one with the hammer locked and the other in a sturdy steel sheath.

History: As the only daughter of one of the few remaining vampire-hunting families, she was either studying or physically training throughout most of her childhood and into teenage years. One of the only things that kept their family trade hidden was the fact that they kept both a shooting range and a weaponry “school”. By the time she was ten years old, she was able to fire a Glock 20 (a 10 millimeter semi-automatic pistol, commonly used in law enforcement) with average precision. At the age of fifteen, she was getting mostly bull’s-eyes, and was now an amateur in knives. By the age of eighteen, she had her first combat experience with the hunger-frenzied monster she’d been raised to execute. That resulted in the livid scar almost at her throat, said vampire's weapon having succeeded in a fairly deep strike.

While she never had much time for friends, she never felt she specifically needed them. This eventually led to a solitary young woman of twenty-one, almost trained to be an assassin in comparison – Both by in hand-to-hand as well as weaponry related. In the back of her mind, though, admittedly longing for what she had denied when younger.

Personality: Helena has a cold exterior, but is quick to voice her opinion to others. Sarcasm has been known to cling to her words when people assume, the same applying to when others act with arrogance. While she knows she is quite capable of killing in terms of skill, she makes no effort to seek fights or brag about experience in such fights.

However, she is also observant. She makes a habit of taking in the situation before even speaking, or doing so when spoke to. When she misses something, or is caught off guard, Helena has been known to berate herself for it. But, while it takes much to scare or intimidate her, although there is one thing that she is wary of: The risk of being changed, or used as a meal. Even so, after her first encounter with vampires, it became evident they realized someone was hunting their kind in return. A sneaking suspicion rests at the back of her mind that they're overestimating her, though. At best, she knows she'd only be able to take one at a time in combat and stand a chance of coming out on top. Even keeping this thought to herself, however, it is a high possibility that they'll figure it out quite soon she isn't the same caliber as her father - That does intimidate her.

Her annoyed sarcasm all but vanishes when truly angered, though; Slipping into a stoney facade of resolute and pent up emotion. While she is not stressed easily, it occasionally builds up and leads to illness. If not to that extreme, it is enough to break her usually steady focus and make way for mistakes - Something she abhors to a great extent, knowing the cost of mistakes with the kind of foe she faced.

In spite of this, though, when one manages to get past her shield of ice, she can be soft towards someone. She is awkward with relationships, of any sort, bringing forth the childhood innocence that she never really had. Affection from the opposite gender both embarrasses and touches her (providing it is genuine), as she has never had a relationship before. If someone garners her affections and understanding, she grows to be very protective – Even laying her life on the line if need be.

Other: Helena’s weapons are fairly simple, and only of two variations when excluding physical ones. Her pistol is a semi-automatic Glock 20, and she always keeps two magazines with her. Said pistol is plain steel in coloration, although its bullets are silver coated. Her other weapon is a combat knife, well whetted and polished. Also coated in silver, she is well prepared for the most part.
