And so everything was as it was meant to be
For a time at least
Once upon a day, there was a man, a good and hardworking man, with morals. He was walking along a garden path, on his way to town, when he spotted a bush of roses. They were average roses, all of them red, except for one. Towards the bottom he picked a flower that was very odd indeed, this flower was blue. It looked like a rose, but that was impossible, how could it be a rose? Roses weren’t blue, yellow or white maybe, but never blue. The man kept this rose and went into town, going about his business and eventually returning home to his wife.
The next morning he found the rose missing, he franticly searched for it, suddenly feeling the absolute need to hold it. His wife came in the bedroom; the rose was in her hair. She smiled at him and wished him a good morning. The man snarled and ripped the flower from her hair, not caring about the woman who dared take his rose. The man had become entrapped in its power, and the rose was by all means powerful. He wanted no one to be able to take the pretty rose from him. The rose granted him the power he wished to posses, but it had a price. The rose always has a price….
The man now self proclaimed as Lord, had power that humans had never seen the likes of before, he could lift a horse with his finger and cross a room in less time than it takes one to blink. Even his looks and senses changed, he was all but beautiful to everyone’s eye, and he could hear and see farther than anyone. The price he paid was not one he regretted in the least, he needed blood to sustain himself, and he took it without mercy, making others just like him as he took every drop they had. The rose was capable of far more than change, it was also able to destroy, and he used that ability to concur land. The Angel King, Samuel, would not interfere; it was not in the angel’s nature to be violent or to interfere in human affairs.
His inaction cost him greatly. Eventually the human race was gone, and replacing it was a race that called themselves vampires. These vampires eventually stumbled on angel territory, and attacked, wanting the lush land and gardens of the angels. King Samuel gathered his forces to fight, even if Angel’s were not a violent bunch, they still practiced combat for exercise and contest purposes. When rallied, they made quite the force to be reckoned with, but so were the vampires. Both sides lost many, the ground was muddy with blood, blood that the vampires now fed on.
King Samuel devised a plan, he sent his four sons to get the blue rose, seeing as how the rose was the main source of the vampire’s power. Only two sons made it back, the youngest and eldest. Their mission was a success, and the Vampire Lord called for a treaty.
The treaty was to be sealed with the marriage of the children of both Lord Lucian and King Samuel. With Lord Lucian’s three sons and two daughters, and King Samuel’s three daughter and two sons, all hell may break loose.
The vampire children have orders to spy and steal the blue rose back, easier said than done.
The Angel children have orders to be polite and loving to the guests and fiancés, easier said than done-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
casualties of war:
2 of the angel brothers died on the mission to take back the blue rose.
Yarrow and Caritas. Yarrow was the oldest of the two twins, but by no means the leader of the two. He always stuck to Caritas and made sure that he didn't get them both into trouble, seeing as how Caritas seemed absolutely determined to outdo Amora in mischeif. Yarrow was sensible and cool headed, where as Caritas was impulsive and hotheaded. Yarrow preffered reading and intellect, Caritas preffered playing and swordsmanship. No matter the differences between the two, they always stuck together through thick and thin, these two were quite the comedic and deadly duo. Thier powers were interconnected, as twin's powers often are. Yarrow had the ability of speed akin to that of a vampire's speed, and Caritas had the strength akin to that of a vampire's strength. When they were in a proximity of ten feet to eachother, thier powers were combined, so each had both speed and strength, but, since they shared strength, they also shared weakness. If one was hurt in battle, so was the other, it was involuntary, and the main reason that they both died. These two princes will forevermore be remembered in the hearts of thier family and people.
2 vampire brothers died in battle to try to stop the angel brothers from taking the blue rose
Solomun: Solomun was the youngest of all of Lucian's children, which probably makes his death the most tragic. The boy died young, trying to protect the castle from being infiltrated alongside his brother, Grogan. He hardly had much of a life, born from his father's affair with a pretty maid. He was looked on as a bastard by most, but none dared to insult him when the king was present. His mother was 'accidentily' killed after her giving birth to him, so the only parent he knew was his nanny, to whom he grew close to. He was sent to battle at the age of 14, far to young, and a little less than a month afterwards he was hospitalized. During which he finally met His eldest brother, Luctretzius, along with the rest of his remaining family. Before he could fully recover, the castle was attacked, and four angels had infiltrated past the guard, Solomun sprang into action and was swiftly killed. He was said to be brave and engaging, but not to sensible, always trying to prove himself. There is doubt that his father has even noticed he is gone, to preoccupied with the loss of his Blue Rose.
Grogan. : Here was a man's man, Grogan loved battle, and was born for it. The woman that gave birth to him was a rich aristocratic woman by the name of Hera, she spoiled him silly and made sure he grew up to be strong. He spent his younger days teasing his little sisters and messing around. Not much in the way of intellect, he never achieved much of a rank in officership, preffering to take small fractions of soldiers and causing havoc. His tactics were guerilla style, and his mission simple, kill the enimy. Grogan was loyal and a good comrad, but feared when in battle. He was having a meeting with his father when the battle at the castle broke out, he killed many angels, but was in turn slain by a surprising opponent, Amora. Grogan was very surprised to be fighting a female angel, and surprisingly hesitant to slay something so pretty, that hesitation cost him his life. There is doubt that his father has even noticed that Grogan is gone, to preoccupied with the loss of his Blue Rose.
1 vampire daughter, assasinated
Bellamina: Bellamina was a daddy's girl and was always trying to please him in any way, he doted on her like he doted on his other daughters. She never got along with Morana or Aria, wanting to be the only daughter in her father's eye. She was often aloof and arrogant, not paying any attention to Morana's fits or Aria's jibes, she acted as thought her sisters barely existed. When the war started she was not aloud to fight, and so turned her attentions to dancing and flirting instead. Bellamina loved nothing more than to reel a man in, and then crush him under her stilleto heels, it gave her pleasure. Her figure gave her quite a pack of admirers, so she was never short of anyone to torture. Her other interests included poisens, she was quite knowledgable about them, and was always trying them out on her tutors and nannies if they ever made her upset. Bella was killed by a band of elite, now rogue angels, they call themselves 'Demons', she was thier target, to send a message to Lucian, he grew furious and ordered them to be hunted down, but never suceeded in catching any of them.
1 vampire brother assasinated
Dmitri. : Dmitri was the eldest of Lucian's sons, and possibly the proudest. Dmitri had an unusually high intelligence, and a knack for the sword, he grew up to be a General in his father's army. His leadership caused many angel deaths, and his arrogance caused his own. Dmitri was assasinated by an elaborate plan set by the angel group known as the 'Demons'. His father really felt the loss of his best General.
1.5 Million angels- deceased
1.3 Million vampires-deceased
Angel Info:
Angels have a few tricks up their sleeves, they are endowed with a gift. This gift is a power, your character (providing you have an angel character)may have 1 powerful gift, and 1 smaller gift. I assume you are responsible enough to judge the capacity of this gift and I aslo assume you won't god mode with it.
Ex; The power to manipulate shattering sound waves, and the power to calm someone by singing.
Something cheesy like that is just a suggestion, it can be anything you like. I love cheesy though.....Anywho, I'll tell you when you submit your character whether or not your powers are acceptable.
Vampire info:
These vampires do not sparkle, big no no. Sparkling=shithitsfan for you, got it?
They are strong enough to lift a truck with mild trouble, and fast enough to cross the room in the blink of an eye. Only Lord Lucian can see and hear for a mile around, but the rest don't really need that when they can smell blood from 4 miles away. They need to feed once every two days at the least (2 pints, and yes, they have a hard time resisting blood, they can, but it is slightly unpleasant), and King Samuel has arranged for blood packets for the guests. The angels that are willing give the blood freely do so for the guests, they do this in generally the modern way humans do, well, in a similar way. The vampires are expected to drink blood from their significant other after the marriage. Biting the angels does not turn them into vampires, they are imune to the curse the blue rose put on the vampires. Yes, the angels are going to be very relunctant to let the vampires feed from them. As for durability, they have flesh that is cuttable by sharp things (Normal)
Each child has a different mother, Lord Lucian is quite cruel to his wives....
Technology:
Ok, so the empires do not have guns, phones of any sort, microwaves, cameras, computers, electricity etc. They do have irrigation, bathing, a way to freeze food, kitchens, castles, horses, carriages etc. get the gist?
