Vampires. The supernatural creatures of myth and legend. Creatures older than most human civilizations dating back to the biblical times of the first humans. The origins of vampires starts with the story of Cain and Abel. For those who do not know, Caine became jealous once God refused his offerings for Abel's, and subsequently killed him. After he killed Abel, Caine was cursed by God to become the first of the vampires: beings blessed with immense powers yet cursed with the thirst for blood, the inability to live in the sunlight, and many personal demons to overcome. The Book of Nod refers to Abel, through the eyes of Caine, as sweet and strong. The second-born son who tended the animals and sacrificed the best youngling upon an altar to his "Father". In turn, Abel was "sacrificed" by his brother Caine. Caine felt that offering Abel's blood would be his best sacrifice, as this action was justified out of love, especially since his prior offerings were not accepted.
All vampires, or as kindred as they go by now, descend from Cain and all share the same curse. Decades have gone by since the time of Cain and most kindred today would consider his existence to be a myth, yet the one thing that has remained consistent throughout the ages is the survival of kindred society. Survival, however, meant that they would have to adapt like the humans and thus the Camarilla was born. An organization that has existed since the renaissance era led by the princes of cities wherever there is camarilla presence. It has kept kindred alive and hidden from the world for the most part. To most who are part of the camarilla, or the ivory tower, as some call it, the organization is somewhat corrupt, flawed, and works to benefit only those in power, but it works.
There are powers that oppose the organization, which are not much better and those powers are unfortunately causing trouble for the camarilla. Things are getting tense on all sides as the organization struggles to hold power and keep everything from breaking into all out war across the city of Seattle. The prince has been busy mostly keeping the peace and now has a need for a coterie to keeping things from going to shit.

Hello! if you're reading this and made it to the end of this poorly written interest check, that means your....well interested, so with that allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hydde and I'm hoping to get a Vampire the Masquerade rp off the ground. This story will take place in seattle and no you do not need to have prior knowledge of vampire the masquerade as I will provide most of the lore in the rp, if you do then that's good as well. I have an idea for a story and depending on if this gets up and running, i'll fix most of what I have above in post. I'm still learning how to be a GM so I want to keep this rp small, so I am looking for about four people to do this with. As far as posts go, I know people have stuff to do which is why I am expecting a post if not every week at least bi-weekly. Word count and post length do not matter to me, I'm not expecting a novel, but I don't want one-liners either. That's it
