By 2833AD most structures would be gone or overgrown with nature (like Angor Wat). Paved roads would have long vanished, most buildings not made out of stone would be gone, and almost all steel structures would have rusted and collapsed. However, they'd be still discernable, and since it is Europe with many stone structures that have lasted hundreds of years they'd presumably be in decent condition. Structures like the Cologne Cathedral would still be around (maybe damaged from weather and lack of maintenance).

Vampires and Lycans do not follow the traditional mythos except for a few exceptions. Throwing Garlic at a Vampire would achieve nothing for example, but stabbing a Lycan with silver will cause a fatal almost allergic reaction. A wooden stake by itself will not kill a Vampire, but a vampire will die if their brain, spinal cord, or heart are destroyed. They can also die of blood loss, a lycan can die from the same thing.

Vampires do feed on blood, but mostly animal (in Nocturne) or on volunteers, as a means of coexisting with the more numerous humans living in Nocturne.

The Atomic Wars, and the fact nuclear reactors would meltdown within 2 years of humans not maintaining them, the initial radiation would be large. Killing millions of wildlife and humans (also contributing to 21st century humanity collapsing). But the radiation would steadily diminish into nothing within 30 years, save for the area's in the immediate vicinity of a reactor, which would take roughly 700 years for its radioactive material to break down. So there are still some radiation pockets left, but not enough to outright kill a person. This of course has led to some scarring of the planet. Cities struck will have noticeable craters or depressions in foliage indicating something happened there.

I would best describe the world of Nocturne as a mix of: The Tudors, Game of Thrones, and Penny Dreadful rolled into one. Minus magic.

Will be away from the PC for a bit. So any reply from me may come after an hour or so if you have any more questions. Or if anyone else has any more questions for that matter.

Edit: and back

Sounds like a grand ol' time! Thanks for the visuals, I appreciate it. I'll have something written up probably tomorrow. Need to think about an interesting concept that fits in this particular setting.

Oh, one last question. I assume the government is set up similarly to what you would find in Medieval Europe or more Roman Empire with a Senate type situation?

Excellent

To answer your question,

The government of Nocturne is divided between the city of Valeria which operates like a Republic with an elected council (which makes the highest legislative decisions akin to the Roman Senate) from members of the city's seven districts; The Judiciary which are the highest law courts; and the triumvirate of Elders who are the chief executive figures and may hear court cases if they so choose along with sitting on the Council as additional members.

The Provinces may each have their own unique style of government that owes fealty to Valeria (giving the option for a role player to customize their own province or land if they so choose to have a province). For example Translyvania is basically a feudal state with its leaders owing loyalty to the Duchess and the Council.

Okay, so I may need a few more days, haha. I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head. One of which is a protector for the Elders, or just one of them. Essentially a professional bodyguard.

The other would be a leader of a sect that basically hunts down those that break the status quo. Dissenters and violators. Not as clandestine as an assassination group, though they would probably employ some. The character would probably be a first generation, turned for this specific purpose. What pops into my head when I see him is something similar to this:

Either of those ideas would work, or a synthesis of the two.

What's the status of the sentient lycans within Nocturne?
Pondering how easy it would be to play one.

Unfortunately, I had to withdraw my interest here. It sucks, but if I take this on I'll probably be stretched too thin and not dedicate the required time. I love the idea and I hope that we can RP together in the future. Best of luck! I'll be reading it in the mean time :)

They pretty much are an extreme minority. Humans of course have mixed feelings and the Vampires generally dislike them. But they're by no means disenfranchised beyond this.

IC is up,

Went with a flashback sequence told through the eyes of a former court historian. Shows how brutal and morally grey everything is.

Then moved up to the present.
