Blood Which Binds Us - The story of a war between families

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Vix on Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:09 am


ImageTwo factions of vampires locked in eternal war.

The Fallen are vampires who revel in the pleasures of human blood, gladly drinking their victims to death. These are considered evil and horrid by The Forbearers; vampires who have never killed a human by drinking it. They too live off of human blood, but they prefer willing subjects or bagged blood, and though they refrain from killing humans, they gladly destroy members of The Fallen. The two factions have always hated and fought each other.

This roleplay is centered around two covens, one of The Fallen and one of The Forbearers. The war between the two is by far more complex than that of the factions, deepened by the fact that the leader of The Fallen tempted and manipulated the partner of The Forbearers' Leader, into drinking a human to death, making him Fall. After this, she slept with him and killed him. Just for fun. The leader of The Forbearers was heartbroken and furious, and possessed by thoughts of revenge, she killed The Fallen Leader's personal blood slave, of whom she was very possessive.

This started the Coven-war, fueled by hate and retribution, 1012 years ago. Through the years, more things have built upon this. Every time the covens have met, chaos, death and blood have followed, thickening the pile of reasons for the feud for all members involved. It is now no longer only a war wanted only by the Leaders, but rather one craved by all members of the two covens. Some, however, wish it more than others.

4 months ago The Forbearer Coven purposefully began hunting a Fallen due to a promise made to a human. What they don't yet know, is that the specific vampire they search, is a member of The Fallen Coven they so despise.

In Montana, however, in the territory of The Fallen Coven, the two meet again. Who dies and who lives? What happens when The Forbearers find out the identity and Coven of he one they have been searching? How do The Fallen Coven react to the turf-invasion of The Forbearers? What chaos evolves this time around?




The Vampires


  • They do not burst into flames in sunlight, but it does make their skin itch and sting terribly. In fact, it's so uncomfortable, most only dare outside in daylight, if they absolutely have to - they most certainly do not sparkle.
  • They need real, human blood, so no, they cannot live on animals. They can get bagged blood, but it does not taste as well as when you get it straight from a source. You might compare bagged blood to cheap fastfood, while fresh blood would be a gourmet meal. They can feed on one another to sustain themselves, but it is more of a sexual act.
  • They are capable of feeling and are usually quite territorial and possessive in all facets.
  • They are stronger, faster and with senses more keen than that of humans. These things increases with age, meaning the older the vampire, the stronger the vampire.
  • They do not have marble-white skin, but it does pale a bit after their death.
  • They are not ice-cold to the touch, merely always slightly chilled compared to your average human.
  • They do not appear to age.
  • They can easily control when to show their fangs, as those are retractable. This is what it would look like.
  • They are not affected by crosses whatsoever, but holy water burns their skin. They can only be killed by beheading and bullets only hurt them if they're very plentiful, although of course massive bloodloss and the likes can weaken them quite a bit.
  • They heal rapidly, but even their healing process can be made slow by lack of blood. However, a single feeding can heal a vampire completely, restoring him from the brink of death. Conclusion? The more blood in the Vampire's system, the faster the healing process.
  • They can also heal humans, by giving them their blood. However, if humans die with vampire blood in their veins, there is a 75% chance they will come back as vampires. The remaining 25% of those hundred, are the humans who just die.
  • They can no longer be born. Long ago, female vampires could conceive, albeit with a very high death rate. *Read Aphrodite's CS for more info*




The Covens


A coven consist of four different positions; Leader, Protector, Enforcers and Procurers. They are big on hierarchy and firmly believe that a Leader is a Leader; you follow orders and are punished if you do not complete them to satisfaction. Failing your Leader is shameful beyond compare. Covens are also sexually equal in the sense that your gender matters naught when it comes to position and power; only your age and your ability to lead does.

  • Leader: The leader of the coven. This person is usually the oldest, and thereby the strongest too. The Leader is oftentimes the Maker of at least one of the other coven members, and the coven members are sworn into always being loyal to the Leader, putting the coven Leader in a very powerful position. The position of Leader can either be gained by making one’s own coven, which is nearly impossible, or by killing the leader of another coven.

  • Protector: This position is second most powerful in the coven. The Protector answers only to the coven Leader, and is, as the title states, charged with protecting the him/her. This position is almost always occupied by amale, and his main purpose is so guard. He might be compared to a fierce body guard, one who would die to save his "Master". He is usually seen with the Leader, being his/her right hand man... or in some cases, woman.

  • Enforcer: These are the elite soldiers of a vampire coven. Their sole purpose is killing and obeying orders. Enforcers are, as the word itself states, the enforcers of the Leader's (or Protector's) words; they are those dispatched on missions. A coven can have any amount of Enforcers, but it is most common to have 2-5 in a Cover. Of course, the amount of Procurers has to reflect this amount to come extent.

  • Procurers: Vampires of this particular title are lowest in rank of all. They are usually the young vampires, those who are not experienced or skilled enough to take on any other role in a coven. They deal with humans on behalf of the coven, bringing them home to be fed on, or to be enslaved. They are eternal servants, for lack of a better word, but they then also function as nurses and grocers. A coven is often dependent on having one of several good Procurers as they make sure blood is always available; something that can be incredibly important to an Enforcer coming home from a job, empty of blood and too weak to hunt.




The Factions

  • There are two factions of vampires. The Fallen and the Forbearers. They are mostly alike, aside for a few differences; the Fallen have blood-red eyes, just like someone else would have blue ones. They can be different shades of red, depending on how often and when ones last feeding was. The Forbearers have clear eyes, keeping their human colour in some way; it might have become darker/lighter after the change to vampires, but is essentially the same. The Fallen are considered "Evil" vampires, and the Forbearers are considered "Good", although that perception is a tad outdated and square. In reality, the line between the two factions can either be very distinct, or, for some vampires, very blurry.
  • The Fallen are vampires who have killed a human by drinking it. The taking of a life in this fashion is what changes ones eyes to become red, so oftentimes the transition is a voluntary one. Now, why would anyone do that? Well, sometimes the Maker was Fallen and guided the fledgling into life that way. For others, it was a conscious choice because killing by drinking a victim is a high, and it leaves the vampire even stronger than usual, for a certain amount of time.
  • The two factions are enemies by definition, always believing themselves to be true vampires and the other faction to be wrong in some way.

The Fallen

Image
Leader|Aphrodite the Plague|2512|Cruel & Sadistic|Deborah Ann Woll|Taken - Little Fox

- Made *Gage Golightly* a vampire because she thought her entertaining and decided to "keep" her.
- Made Cain a vampire because she liked his violent tendencies and ruthlessness. Plus, she thought he was hot.
- Made Nikolai Venator because she thought it would be fun to make a vampire-hunter, a vampire.


Image
Protector|Cain|1598|Cold & Violent|Tyler Hoechlin|Taken by - Army.of.One

- Was Made by Aphrodite the Plague after almost dying on the battlefield. He fell in love with her soon after, and is still lost for her. However, he has never told her this, despite the fact that they often have sex.


Image
Enforcer|Maxwell Montgomery|832|Sly & Manipulative|Matt Bomer|Taken by - BleedingLover

- Was Made by Garth but was unable to keep himself from drinking a victim dry, enticed by Aphrodite. This made him a Fallen, and he was ostracized from his Forbearer coven. This was about 450 years ago, and after some time on his own, he met a young Hadley who he slept with. Subsequently, she offered him a place in her coven which he remorsefully took.


Image
Enforcer|Nikolai Venator|817|Stubborn & Sanguinary|Nathaniel Buzolic|Taken by - tigerz

- Was Made by Aphrodite much against his will, as he was a vampire hunter. He tried to kill her after his change at first, but she made short work of his attempt, calling him "laughable". After a while, he gave up and accepted his new life. Now, he has seen the advantages to being a vampire and his feelings of hatred are being swallowed by thankfulness.


Image
Procurer|???|449|Vain & Bitchy|Gage Golightly|Open

- Was Made by Aphrodite after meeting the Vampire briefly, not thinking she would ever see the woman again. Aphrodite approached her, forcing her into an alleyway, before she forced her blood down her throat, and broke her neck. She came back to life as a vampire.
- Convinced Maxwell to join the coven after sleeping with him.


The Forbearers

Image
Leader|Delilah|1601|Caring & Judgmental|Sophia Bush|Taken by - Little Fox

- Made Evelyn after finding the woman bleeding in a secluded area. She was drawn by the smell of blood. Evelyn choked out that she had been attacked by a man. She offered her a chance to get back at said man; to never be vulnerable like that again, and she agreed to.


Image
Protector|Garth|1599|Protective & Unforgiving|Alexander Skarsgård|Taken by - JokerofSpades

- Made *Matt Bomer* after finding him dying from a heart attack in the streets, but personally kicked him out of the coven once he saw that the vampire's eyes had turned red.
- Made Angiluzza Maniscalco after seeing her hunting on her own. He liked her natural instinct and mysterious nature. Plus, the coven was one member down and she was obviously alone.


Image
Enforcer|Evelyn Dubois|709|Intelligent & Condescending|Clemence Poesy|Taken by - Army.of.One

- Was Made by Delilah after being promised that she would be able to avenge her own attack.
- Made Isaac because he reminded her of her younger brother, who she had loved dearly as a human, and had come to see grow up regularly. He was by himself, looking drunk and miserable, standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking wildly tossing water - a fall that would surely kill him. She forced him away from it, and after talking to him, being told his story, she decided to turn him.


Image
Enforcer|Angiluzza Maniscalco|842|Wild & Mysterious|Miranda Kerr|Taken - Little Fox

- Made by Garth. She was in the woods alone hunting for food when she was grabbed from behind and rendered unconscious. When she awoke, he was standing over her, welcoming her to life as something much greater. She feels thankful, because life as a human had been extremely hard on her. Here, she always has food and most importantly, a family to watch her back.


Image
Procurer|Isaac Campbell|151|Loyal & Careful|Matt Dallas|Open

- Made by Evelyn after she saved him from killing himself. He had been heartbroken and drunk, seeing death as his only way out. Once she asked him what had lead him to his current situation, the words poured. She offered him a chance to become something able to take what and who he wanted whenever he wanted, and he couldn't resist temptation. She just seemed so genuine.





The Humans


Much like humans keep milk and meat in the fridge at home, vampires keep blood on tab in the form of either Blood Pets or Blood Slaves. These are humans who live with and are provided for by the vampires, either with or without consent.

  • Blood Pets are humans who are willingly residing with the vampires. For some, this is because they've fallen in love with a vampire in a certain coven, or something along those lines. For others, its a drug in itself. When a human is bitten by a vampire, the vampire can choose whether to make it painful or pleasurable, by deciding on whether to exude venom from their fangs. If they do exude venom, the bite will be incredibly pleasurable - erotic even, but if not... well, then you can imagine having your blood sucked in such a fashion, is excruciatingly painful.
  • Blood Slaves are humans who, as the word says, have been enslaved. They aren't necessarily against this, but it was never a choice for them. Others might hate/fear their captors and want out. Whichever is the case, choice was never a part of the process. They are often people who have lived in the streets previously or such, so no one would miss them. However, this act of "saving" people from a life on the streets, may gain the vampires gratitude from some Blood Slaves, who will then become a mixture Blood Pets and Slaves.


Coven|Status|Age|Personality Traits|FC|Availability

Image
The Fallen|Leader's Slave|Grace Sawyer|17|Devoted & Frightful|Molly Quinn|Open

- Was kidnapped by *Gage* intended especially for Aphrodite, who... "accidentally" killed her last slave. Grace has a kind of immunity to all the others, as Aphrodite is very possessive, never sharing her food, and would flip on a coin if anyone else bit her toy. She was kidnapped about 1 year ago. Aphrodite enjoys to scare her and "play" with her.


Image
The Fallen|Slave|Dimtri Deon|27|Temperamental & Hateful|Jackson Rathbone|Taken - Little Fox

- Has been a bloodslave for about a decade or so, and has grown to hate his captors with a passion, although he has accepted his place in the world and has stopped his many former attempts of escaping. Attempts which were all punished very harshly. He has a lot of scars from being tortured into submission.


Image
The Fallen|Lyric Emerson|Pet|22|Unpredictable & Troubled|Sky Ferreira|Taken - BleedingLover

- Lived a messed up life. Her past is pretty fucked up, involving drinking parents, drugs and physical and/or emotional abuse. She was first drunk from by one of the Fallen enforcers who was on a job and needed a drink, when she was 15, and she found it made her forget everything. She had tried drugs before then, but they had never worked as well. She spent the next couple of years searching for that vampire and 3 years ago she found him. She immediately took *Matt Bomer* up on his offer of becoming a blood pet.


Image
The Forbearers|???|Pet|19|Paranoid & Rude|David Henrie|Open

- Was rescued by Delilah who intended to make him into a blood slave. Before then, *David* lived on the streets, alone and abandoned, living off of garbage and other scraps. Due to this rescue, he feels gratitude and loyalty towards these vampires. However, his past still colours his attitude and general personality. He has been with them for two years.


Image
The Forbearers|Anastasia Valentino|Pet|21|Lovesick & Optimistic|Lea Michelle|Taken by - bracefacebeauty

- Met Garth in a bar a year ago, and fell hopelessly in love. She is completely captivated by him, although he feels nothing in return. To her, that only makes him more attractive. Once Isaac learned of this, he offered her a chance to be physically with her love, living with him and providing food for him and his family. She took him up on it, and once she figured out how he'd meant it, she looked past it, because being around her beloved is worth it to her.


Image
The Forbearers|Pet|Preston Vyse|24|Helpful & Polite|Brendon Urie|Taken by - Riareous

- Was engaged to be married, happy as could be. A Fallen vampire drained her, killed her in front of his eyes. Something distracted the vampire before he got to killing Preston, however. He searched for years to find the vampire who killed his fiancee, but he could never find him. So, instead, after researching vampires for a time, he sought out the Forbearers. He said he'd do anything if they could find the vampire who destroyed his life. They agreed, if he would provide them blood as payment for their aid, which he agreed to. This was 4 months ago and initiated the actual hunt.

If you're a vampire, we will need something on how and by who you were turned, along with how you ended up with your Coven.

Anything you need to underline about your character, or anything you might need to add. It can be talents or just physical notes, like a tattoo/piercing or whatnot. I don't mind the Vamps with tattoos/piercings.






Da Rules


  • Respect each other, please. We don't want fighting in the OOC, for instance.
  • Please do keep all the info on the vampires in mind. If you mess up the lore - at least parts we have detailed - we're going to have a problem. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me!
  • Do not join if you will not be willing to take on two characters - I may need you to.
  • Reserve your character in the OOC, not by PM. You have two days to submit at least a Work In Progress. The password is: Your favorite book.
  • There will be made a relationships thread, and we're not that many characters, so we very much expect everyone to finish the sheets. I will keep bugging you if you don't.
  • I expect you to be committed if you join this roleplay. My friend Mela spent a lot of time on this and this was and still is my favorite original story, and believe me, I will not be happy about you dropping off the face of the earth for a month. I will boot you if that happens and either kills or hand over your character. There will be no coming back. If you're going to be gone for a little while because of some family emergency or whatnot, please do inform me of it before, and I'll give you some time. I'm not completely heartless.
  • I have set a minimum of 350 words on average per post; I want literate roleplayers. I will hunt you down with a pitchfork if you ever post less than 350 words. Let's put it like that.
  • Blood, violence, foul language and sexual content will probably occur, so if you're skittish about any of those things, this roleplay probably isn't for you. Second password is: Your favorite album.
  • Your character may die. Shit happens. Life goes on. Bow out gracefully and don't throw a tantrum about it.
  • I can and will add more characters if enough people want to join, but only if all of the current slots are filled.
  • Last, but not least, enjoy! Oh, and do not let my baby die, I'm begging you.
