Long ago, humans had a wide domain, spreading throughout the vast Terra's biomes.

This is, of course, long ago.

Every year, for two weeks at a time, an eclipse affects both the sun and moon. This allowed demons to run rampant in the human realm even in the day, and makes all of them even stronger during the night. Humanity slowly weakened year by year by the onslaughts brought on by the Blood Moon and the Black Sun, as they were forced to retreat and compact into smaller and smaller havens that disappeared after the next eclipse. Unable to become stronger, or rebuild, or develop quickly enough, humankind quickly approached extinction.

But, not all monsters were mindless; among the more civilized monsters were vampires. They were the race closest to humans, some once being human themselves. But of course, that's not why they were helping them. Vampires fed on human blood, and they too would inevitably disappear with humans from starving to extinction. Knowing these facts, the king of the vampires and the last king of humanity met to make a deal that would shape their races' futures. Vampires, in exchange for a safe and easy supply of blood, would help protect humanity from the monstrous threat. A system was devised for harvesting blood, and their pact was sealed.

Although this was originally met with some controversy throughout both sides, the wrinkles were ironed out as they fought and grew side-by-side. Humans discovered magic, and vampires used it to create better weapons and armor. As humans and vampires grew to accept each other more, they also began to allow other monsters into society; that is, of course, only if they're domesticated or follow the rules. But even with the newfound peace and acceptance, the Black Sun still occurs. In fact, soon, those two weeks of war will begin. In recent years, the monsters seem to have become more powerful. There has been a larger sense of dread than before, as if the darkness itself has begun to manifest into a monster of its own....

Notes about the RP:
- For the most part, this will be lower Casual in terms of the amount you should post. A single, but slightly longer paragraph would do. Of course, more is perfectly fine!
- While there are forms of transportation aside from monsters and simply walking, machinery is both very limited and requires a large amount of magical power to use, thus making it relatively inefficient.
- Many devices are powered using orbs charged with magic.
- Magic usually varies with their personality of the user and their race. Vampires will almost always be able to use hemomancy, while humans tend to just have slightly stronger magic all around. Magic is usually based on nature or its principals(I.E. Fire, Water, Electricity, Light, Time). Not everyone is able to use magic.

Member Offline since relaunch

Name: Aiden Primrose
Age: 196, looks to be about 18 to 20.
Race: Pureblood Vampire
Personality: Calm, almost scary calm in nearly any situation. It takes a lot for him to loose his cool. Stubborn to a fault, he won't give in without a fight. Earning his trust is an incredibly difficult thing to do, but once you do he has incredibly loyalty. Unless you do something to break that loyalty, you have a lifelong companion. He's very protective and a guardian by nature, he would kill or be killed for the people he cares about. Though that list is few. Part of his mistrust, he doesn't like to get attached to people, he's seen far too much death in his short life. He's a bit curious and loves to learn, in his spare time you can almost always find his nose in a book reading about something. He's rather shy and not the most talkative person around, unless you can spark his passion in which case you'll never get him to stop talking. Though his voice is soft and usually on the quiet side. While he doesn't talk much, he's an excellent listener and won't judge you for your problems. If you need somebody to talk to about something embarrassing or secretive, he's your guy.

Don't mistake not talkative for unfriendly, he likes people well enough. He just likes his alone time a little more. He rare smiles and is usually found with a bored or apathetic look on his face. He likes to keep his emotions to himself, and ironically enough, it shows. He's observant and always thinking about something. He notices at lot more than people give him credit for.

Appearance:

Aiden has longish silver-gray hair with fringe that usually covers his right eye. His eyes are a sparkling blue color during the day, and crimson at night or when he's drinking blood. He's just shy of six feet tall with a lean, graceful build. He doesn't an ounce of fat on his, but he also doesn't have much in the way of muscle either. His facial features are pointed and graceful, he doesn't have any of his baby fat left in them. His limbs are long, his elbows are pointed, and he has the long, graceful fingers of a pianist. He typically wears this with the hood down, but when he must go to social events he wears this.

Equipment: Weapon wise Aiden uses the blade of his family, mainly. Though is also trained in archery. He always carries around what appears to be a mint container filled with blood tablets, just in case there isn't a human nearby and he needs to feed. He has a pouch containing a mix of medicinal plants and spices, separated as to not actually mix, as he likes to keep the humans alive and fed well. Their blood tastes much better that way.
Primary Magic: Aiden has two primary magics, the one of his race, the Pureblood Vampires, and one for his clan. His race specializes in Memory Manipulation, they are able to erase or alter the memories of a person. They cannot erase a person's entire memory, just pieces of it. And if they are a strong enough person they can get it back. He doesn't like to use this unless absolutely needed. His clan specializes in Soul Separation, the act of separating ones soul from their body. Contrary to popular belief, Vampires do in fact have souls. The Primrose clan has learned how to connect with their souls and split them from their bodies. As to what they can do when out of their bodies, think Beyond Two Souls. They must have a trusted person watching their body while they're away, because if its destroyed their souls are destroyed too. Any injuries done to their body or soul during this time will appear on the other. They cannot enter a body other than their own, even if it doesn't have a soul.
Secondary Magic: Along with his race and clan's magic, Aiden can wield a power that doesn't really have a name. Basically he can create two runes that are attached to one another. One is on the palm of his right hand and the other is in another location. By thinking about an object, Aiden can call it to him as long as it is in the same room as the other rune. Which would be very useful if the other rune wasn't in his families' library. He really only uses it for reading purposes so he doesn't have to carry about a bunch of books.

Bio: Aiden was born to the Primrose clan. The lowest ranking Pureblood family. They are a clan of warriors and seldom appear at social events for business short of guarding the other Pureblood families. Aiden has been trained to fight since birth, but he's always cared more about learning than fighting. Making him a bit of a black sheep in his family. I'd like to reveal most of his history through the roleplay, but I'll tell you this much. His lack of trust comes from a time when he split his soul from his body and was clearing a path for his partner, someone he trusted very much. Only they abandon his body when a monster got close and he nearly died. It was only thanks to his quickened healing and lots of fresh blood that he survived. He's never been able to bring himself to trust people very easily after that.
Other: In my version of Vampires they can in fact go out in sunlight. Though because of their heightened senses, the harsh light bothers their eyes. And being in direct sunlight for long periods of time will weaken them significantly. Thus why Aiden's coat has a hood.

I think that your CS should be good, but is there a limit to the strength of the teleportation rune?

Assuming that it's limited to relatively small items, you're accepted.

He told her to leave so she did and now at the age of 20 she has never been back, travelling far from her roots. She gets by, by working in a small shop. As content as she could be.
Other: She has not yet learnt how to use magic.

I wasn't thinking about limitations that much, considering that he only uses it for books. But yeah, I'd say considering its on his hand, then its definitely limited to small items. Like books or the odd candle or two.

Is he going to accidentally make a pun by trying to "illuminate us with the joy of books" and summoning a candle instead?

Probably not. He isn't the type of person to shove his likes and ideals on somebody. Though it would be pretty funny.

Basic vehicles have been developed, but they're generally too inefficient for normal use. For the most part, the RP's using medieval-age stuff like swords and carriages.

Interested. I'll have a character sheet up here soonish? Is playing something other than a vampire or a human is acceptable?

Yuuup, no worries about that! It's just that a majority of the fighting force is made up of humans and vampires.

Name: Mithias Aldaric Varomere
Age: 797, but no one knows his age.
Race: Vampire

Personality: Despite centuries of watching the world turn, Mithias has not grown bored and cold to life. He has a heart, a human-like sympathy for others, regardless of their race. He takes pleasure in the happiness of others and enjoys nature, no matter how many times he's seen it. He finds no use in deceit and dishonor, and over time has just naturally inclined toward honesty and loyalty.

Appearance:



- Description: Mithias has golden yellow eyes that alight with a fire-like glow when roused. His white skin makes his nature obvious, and he can't pass for a human. He's somewhat tall, with clawed hands, and long black hair like a wild horse.

Equipment: - Mithias has learned a variety of weapons in his ages of battling monsters and survival. Currently, he uses two katana-type swords as his main weapons in melee. His mind is so sharp that a single weapon would be a waste of his other arm. he also carries several daggers, three of which are named and have barbed edges with blood-letting grooves down the blades: Blooddrinker, Heartseeker, and Soulstealer. Lastly, he has a whip, that with his magic ability, he can light on fire if he chooses.
Expect him to be a good shot with a bow.

Primary Magic: Mithias primary magic or supernatural ability is defense of his own mind. In other words, he cannot be mind-controlled, tricked with illusions, mentally influenced, and his thoughts cannot be read.

Secondary Magic: Recently, Mithias has become aware that he developed pyrokinesis. His level of fire magic power seems correlated to the intensity of his emotions.

Bio:
No one knows when Mithias was turned or by whom. All that is known is that is was multiple centuries ago. He has occasionally vanished for periods of human history, only to suddenly reappear in the role of a protector, or to help establish peace between the species whenever superstition, fear, and jealousy incited war. He is known as hunter of aberrant vampires and demons, favoring human survival. He has no known sirelings. Some believe he may be the oldest vampire alive.

The truth is, Mithias is old enough to have known the first vampires, because they made him. However, Mithias is only an infant in comparison to them. There certainly could be others who have waited out the ages as he has, perhaps slumbering somewhere underground until awakened by an earthquake or what have you. Most vampires from old times have probably killed themselves out of boredom or hopelessness. Something keeps Mithias going on.

Other: Mithias is currently contracted with the military to hunt down powerful vampires or half-demons who are criminals.

Somehow there ended up being a lot written. I dozed off at the keyboard with this half finished last night and woke up to this... That'll teach me to wake up half asleep and try to finish something, I guess. I am probably going to go back through and re-do some of it later, like the history. I'd do it now, but I have to get going to work here in fifteen. Gimme any thing I need to fix or questions and I'll answer/fix it all when I get home. Or complaints, complaints are alright too.

Two swords on hips, daggers mounted just below the blades, daggers on calves, whip looped up and secured to belt behind him. He doesn't currently have a bow equipped but that could be slung across his chest. However, if that didn't obstruct melee arm movement, a quiver surely would. I'm just giving myself the option of a ranged weapon in the future. Oh! I completely forgot his metal vambraces which he uses as defense. I'll have to edit that.

Thanks for accepting.

Complete.

Name: Chiaro Schwarz
Age: 17
Race: Human
Personality: Kind of a timid person, Chiaro has always been shy around strangers. Despite this, he often worries about those around him and always wants to be able to do something to help. When he's not attending to his garden, where he often practices his magic, he likes to read a lot. He actually hates fighting, but will do so if it means that he can protect others, as he hates to see people suffering. Of course, one can imagine that he has quite a bit of trouble due to the dangerous state of the world at this time.

Appearance:
He often wears a black belt with various pouches filled with herbs and seeds, either for healing or magical practice purposes. Sometimes both.

Equipment: Basic first aid kit, various herbs (carried in a series of pouches on his belt), a small dagger
Primary Magic: Plant Magic - His family was known for practicing spells and researching magic based on the plant life in the area, allowing some manipulation of plants in various ways. Chiaro is still learning, though, so he can only do so much at the time.
Secondary Magic: Healing - The bigger the wound, the more energy it takes.

Bio: TBR

Other: He absolutely hates centipedes. They freak him out to no end.
