The Black Dagger Brotherhood

The Black Dagger Brotherhood is the name of the group of warriors protecting the race. They are all large, powerfully built (think The Rock, Arnold and Jason Mamoa), strong, fast, nearly unkillable (stab them in the heart or cut off their head seems to be the only way), ruthless in the face of the enemy, and steadfastly loyal to their fellow warriors. The 'Brotherhood' is not just a name or a title. It is the very essence of their being. At the time of initiation into the Brotherhood, the one being initiated consumes the blood of the others, forming an unshakeable bond among them as true brothers-in-arms. There is nothing they will not do for each other. And if one is threatened, all shall come. If one is injured, all will cry for blood. And if one is killed... you do NOT want to be the one who committed the deed.

As strong as the bond with each other, it pales in comparison to the bond they share with any mate they may claim. Their mates are a part of them, to the point where if she is in danger the Brother will go through hell itself to reach her, bare any pain to save her. Their mates (called shellans) are the only ones they will feed from or mate with. And a female's mate (called hellran) is the only one she will feed from. A Brother will even fight another Brother if his mate is on the line. And females will go for the jugular of anyone who dares come at their mate.

Some of the Brothers have additional powers and abilities that the others don't. Stories tell of one such Brother who could burn an entire building to the ground with his hands. Another could see glimpses of the future. Still another could manipulate ice. There is even a legend of a Brother who could turn into a terrifying creature of nightmares that could consume Lessors.

The Brotherhood work alongside the race's King and the glymera, a counsil made up of various great families of the race. The King and the glymera look after the common people while the Brotherhood focuses on the war.
They seldom bother with humans. The few allowed into their world are mostly the Doggan, human servants who attend to needs of high-end families. The Doggan can be both men and women and are treated with kindness and appreciation. They cook, clean, care for clothing and any kind of transactions that must take place with humans.

Vampires live many centuries. They can and need to eat food, but cannot survive without the nutrients in blood. It is preferable for a male to feed on a female, and vice versa, as they have difference nutrients that the other needs, but it is possible to survive on the blood of the same sex. They can feed from humans, but the blood is not nourishing and does not last long.
The act of feeding is highly intimate and commonly only done among mates.[/center]

So this will be an rp based on the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J. R. Ward. Best vampire series I have ever read.
I will be following the lore to a T so I will answer any questions about the Brotherhood, their enemies, their creation, their powers, their abilities, their nature, ect...

No joke. This will be a very involved rp and unlike most vampire rps out there. Vampires cannot go out in the sun (they get burned and if exposed long enough burn to death). They can heal from most wounds but if salt gets in the wound the scarring is permanent. They can eat anything a human can, but need the added nourishment of blood. Human blood can sustain they for a time but they need another vampire's blood in order to survive. Holy Water? Crosses? Garlic? All useless.

If you wish to make a Brother character I will help with any and all questions.
You may also make a Lesser. The Scribe Virgin, should she make an appearance, will be handled by me.

Females are not classified as warriors, as they are meant to be honored and protected above all else. To mistreat a female is a death sentence. A very painful death sentence. But females are not weaklings by any means. They are far stronger than humans and have great power over male vampires. Some have even fought Lessers to protect their families. A female in need can bring any male vampire within a ten mile radius running to her aid. And if a female choses a male as her mate the male that bonds with her will brutally slay anyone she desires and heaven help anyone who tries to touch her for any reason.

You can also make humans known as Doggens, servants to the vampires who live to serve. They care for the vampire's homes, wash their clothes, cook their meals, bandage their wounds and any other task their master may give. They are treated as family by their master or mistress and greatly appreciated.

Hey Katherine!

@WildRose Looks the same as before did you change anything? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything.

@KatherinWinter Nah Its the same as before

@WildRose approved

Changed it up a bit and added a child



Name - Brenna Harrison

Age - 21

Preferred Weapon - Her mate, once she gets one

Personality - Brenna is kind and warm. You never have to guess what she is thinking or feeling. People tend to feel instantly as ease around her. While she tends to be a little too kind at times she has a temper and can be stern, but of course feels guilty afterward. If she thinks she's hurt someone she immediately hurries to apologize, something that many people have taken advantage of in the past.

Brief History - Brenna grew up without a father. Her mother didn't even know his name, just that he was tall and dark and she met him in a bar. Her mother died when she was a child and Brenna was raised by her maternal grandmother, who found fault with everything she did. No matter how hard she tried, there was no pleasing the woman. She learned in her late teens it was because her grandmother saw her as a sin, an illegitimate child of fornication.

Brenna was working on a degree in teaching when the transition hit. It came as a shock to say the least. By the grace of The Scribe Virgin a male vampire happened to be near enough to sense a female in distress and came running to help. He got her through her transition, got her pregnant, then got himself killed by Lessers.
When he grandmother found out Brenna was pregnant, she tossed her out of the house, calling her a whore and a sinner. Brenna found work in side jobs here and there until a vampire doctor discovered her in her state and aided in her giving birth. She is staying at a shelter inside the doctor's clinic with her child for now, unsure of what to do next.
The doctor is concerned though. The child's blood is very unique... indicative of possible ties to the Brotherhood...

Name : Gracie Harrison

Age : 4

Preferred Weapon : Mommy

Personality: Quiet and curious, Gracie doesn't speak to people she doesn't know. In fact, she rarely speaks at all. The fact that she nearly completely deaf doesn't help matters. She doesn't like playing with the other children, finding them too rough. Gracie prefers to e with her mommy and read or paint. She knows sign language but sometimes pretends like she doesn't understand people just because she doesn't want to talk to them.
She has asked Brenna about her father and only knows that he was killed by monsters called Lessers. She seems to like tales of the Brotherhood and wants her mommy to tell her stories of them every night.

Brief History : Gracie was born to Brenna, but the birth was difficult. Gracie was a breach and in trying to get her out before she suffocated the doctor injured her. This caused her to start losing her hearing as a baby and now it is almost completely gone. She can hear very loud noises but that's it.
The doctor suspects that her father was a member of the Brotherhood, but this has not been confirmed.

@Belle interesting change. They're approved.

@KatherinWinter

Awww yeah time to bring back Vischous!!!!! Lol

Pic:


Name: Vischous Dimitri

Age: 29 (human years)

Preferred Weapon:


Personality: He keeps to himself and never opens up to anyone. He figures anyone he gets close to will be a target or will leave him. He tries to show emotion every now and can when he drinks but not usually when he is sober. When he is with its brothers its easier but it sure isn't a cake walk for him. He is a very determined fighter and willing to put his life on the line to defend his family.

Brief Background: He was named after his father Vischous in order to live out his legacy. He was trained from a young age to become one of the best fighters for the brotherhood. He was on his own training with just a teacher up until his 18th birthday. He joined the Brotherhood a week after his father died. He has been working his best to get rid of the lessers no matter if he loses his life in the process. He has incredible strength and is learning more and more abilities the more he trains. He has never found mate yet and hopes to one day chose the right girl.

Theme Song:
Raimstein- Fuer Frei!
