Okay guys! Here is the Official Time Skip post format! I’ll always update the dates. If a section doesn’t work for the update, then feel free to ignore it. Dates for your pieces don’t have to be exact but a close approximation would be excellent.

Conflict brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Humanity suffered for centuries under the endless nightmare of the Moonlight Council, the ruling body of vampires,as they were hunted for sport like beasts. However, humanity discovered its own power buried within. This energy, deemed Magic, was latent in all humans but only a tenth of the population could access it. In another time, humans may have stood a chance. As it was, magic was too new and its mages too inexperienced for it to matter.

Vampires however hunted humans in greater number, addicted to the magic laced in the mages’ blood. Full out war broke out between the races, one desperate t survive and the others itching to taste magic again. When all seemed lost for humanity and extinction seemed inevitable, another faction made its way from the night. Lycanthropes, or werewolves as humans called them, attacked each side indiscriminately without mercy and threaten to eradicate both sides.

Vampires and mages had little choice but to band together. The Council Leader of the Moonlight Council, Queen Anastasia Noila, and a representative of the humans came together and signed a treaty that banned vampires from outright hunting humans at the cost of making mages serve the vampiric race for eternity. Vampires from this point forward would only ever feed on mage blood on the threat of death.

Together, the two races managed to beat back the Lycanthrope threat. Severely weaken, the invaders fled with curses ad promises of vengeance. They slunk back into the shadows and the hidden places of the world, eventually fading into legend.

How long can their hatred stay locked away?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Built by the eldest daughter of Queen Noila, Princess Ryner Noila, two centuries after the signing of the treaty, the Noila Academy boasts the largest and most extravagant grounds throughout the known world. Funded directly by the royal lineage, the Academy includes the small town a mere thirty minutes away from the campus proper and includes access to a large private beach and a massive forest. Top of the line chefs, instructors, and others are employed here, which all contribute to its luxurious reputation. The best part is that students accepted here make no financial contributions to the school, attending free of charge.

The Noila Academy however rarely only accepts twenty mage applications a year however. Most individuals receive handwritten notices that they have been accepted, all hand picked by the Princess herself. Noble vampire families often trade favors to gain entrance for their children but Princess Rayner ensures only a few of them manage to make it in in order to maintain a wide variety of social classes.

Mages are paired with recently matured purebloods and those who have been Embraced a month ago. These pairs would be the first in the vampire’s life and, in most cases, the only one in the mage’s. The Academy teaches mages and vampires to control their powers while also teaching them to work together.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Of Blood and Magic! This Rp will explore the relationships between humans, mages, and vampires as a centuries old powder keg reemerges and more than a few individual’s secrets see the light of day. Of Blood and Magic starts at the Noila academy and players start as newly awoken mages and/or recently matured vampires who must figure out their own pairing dynamics. As the characters get comfortable, or at least acclimate to their new lives, the will be exposed to decision after decision and none of them should be taken lightly. There are several ways this RP can go and all of it depends on how the players act. The story and NPCs will change and react accordingly, for better or for worse. After all, your actions will have consequences. And if the character is smart, they’ll find their ways of making it out ahead.

However, nothing can start without a little lore about the world! Please read everything below before making your character. Once all characters have been created, I will assign pairs at random! Have fun and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

I'm not usually into Vampire stuff, but the world you've set up is very intriguing. If you'd have me, I'd be happy to join this.

Absolutely, I would love to have you!

I can't take all the credit though. @WeepingLiberty ran an RP that this one is based off of. I've added more details and put more political intrigue and social dilemma in the immediate foreground but the foundation was theirs! I was just so bummed that it stopped that I created a new one!

Name: Cassandra Roth

Age: 18
Gender: Female
Element: Fire

Personality: Cassandra is someone who thinks and acts quickly, for better or for worse. She has good manners ingrained strongly, but once formalities are out of the way, it's fair game. Because of her peculiar upbringing since the age of ten, Cassandra is unused to being around people her own age, or indeed anyone who is a peer or equal, rather than a superior in some way. She is still impressionable enough that her social skills are likely to be shaped and possibly changed drastically by how her classmates behave and treat her.



Likes: Freedom, sunlight and fresh air. Anything and everything that is difficult to come by while living in the care of vampires.
Energy drinks, though she doesn't like coffee at all.
Doing nothing, when she wants to do nothing.

Dislikes: Sleep, particularly during the day. She views it as just more time taken from her.
Being held anywhere she doesn't want to be.

Habits: Staying up late
Sneaking out during the day(it has never been possible for her to do so truly unobserved, but she can avoid her parents finding out)
Speaks without thinking.

@Achronum Ah, but to ask a formal question about apps, can you explain what the information next to the "Age" field in the vampire app means? Er, a tad tired on my end so i wanna be sure. XD

@Crusader Lord If your character is a pureblood vampire, they need to be between 90 and 120 while vampires that are Embraced need to be between 18-22

@Achronum Well, here is the main app proper! Sending other info over PM that is to be eventually disclosed into the app over time!

Hopefully it isn't too...eh, crazy OP or such things. XD



Name: Arianna Dracul Eve

Additional Appearance Descriptions: Standing in at 5’7”, Arianna is the picture of a dominant, strong vampiress with a strong but sexy body befitting her kind’s heritage. With pale white skin, and a rune/mark tattooed between her breasts. Ironically, her lovely features in both her hair and eyes were actually inherited from her mage mother. This being said, her eyes still turn colors as is normal for vampires in certain stages of hunger. Further, she possesses in general all of the other features a proper, pureblooded vampire should have. Even the obvious attribute of fangs.

Her physical age, despite her notable physical features, is alongside and fits in with those other Purebloods and Embraced/Turned that walk the school’s halls.

Age: 95

Gender: Female

Personality: Arianna is someone who carries a regal air of sorts about her naturally, as naturally as breathing air even. Yet she is of the sort whose “regal airs” seems to exert a sort of invisible but virtually palpable “pressure” on those around her. Confidence rings in her voice, and a sort of natural charisma drips from her words regardless of their content, intent, or tone. One could say she’s been raised into a potential leader for the future, or at least to be a strong presence within her family one day, which is not far from the truth.

Personally, Arianna herself has enjoyed the fine things, such as saunas, comfortable bedsheets, sexy silk attire, and many other such things that one would consider luxuries or “extravagant” in nature. A bit of hedonist, she is someone who enjoys the “pleasurable” things in life, though some have underestimated her due to this aspect of her personality. She is, though, at her core a determined individual who works for her goals with at times an iron (or potentially stubborn) will. She is also a confident flirt, not caring who it is as long as she desires them in her mind and “wants to” according to her own words.

Bio: Born a member of the Eve noble family to a powerful female mage possessed by her father, and it was obvious from the start that Arianna’s father had big plans for her in regards to her future. She was trained in the fighting arts, both sword and barehanded, and given a good early education. Even driving and riding became included in her education, in the end being propped up like a “princess” really. Ironically “princess” was mockingly given to her as a nickname by some under their breaths as a result of their envy. This being said, though the nickname annoyed her she held her head high and worked to live up to the expectations her father had for her.

Now she is old enough to come to the school, and having been lucky enough to be invited she has arrived. Full force, full throttle, she aspires to become even stronger and more powerful in her time at the school. Though having a bit of fun with fellow students and her mage wouldn’t perhaps be out of the question for her either, just like any normal girl in her mind~

Albeit, she did put in a request to the school for a “cute, non-Fire-element, female mage” as her companion. As it were, she is not a fan of the fire element, possessing distaste for the element on grounds of “it is bothersome, and I need my mage to be obedient rather than having a temper or rebellion risk that i’d have to squash them for”....this and she loathes the flavor of Fire mage blood in general based on personal tastes alone.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Likes: Luxury Items, Fine Tasting Bloods and testing them, Hot Baths, People Being Genuine, True Confidence

Dislikes: Cowards, Seagulls, the Fire-element, Fire mages and their blood, her father

Habits:

-Tends to lustfully indulge herself in private, this as a part of her hedonistic side really. Usually this takes the form of things like (but not limited to): drinking a fine cup of blood legally purchased ahead of time for enjoyment...or in things like a hot bath or music. Even in lounging about in her room in certain kinds of clothing she enjoys.

-If she is dead set enough on something or determined enough, it becomes at the very least rather hard to get her to sway from it. Especially hard. This can have its good and bad applications of stubbornness, as it were.

-Occasionally staying up rather late, or indulging in playful activities under the right circumstances, the latter thing not being much of what many might expect of her ironically.

Other:

Once had a pet bat named “Tiki” that she’d loved to play with as a younger child.

@Achronum Er, crap i didn't see your answer before i posted the above. XD

What i mean is, something that maybe enhanced physical durability, or guards them from a particular individual element.

(P.S., the middle name is a nice classic vampire reference, if that's ok. ^^;)

@Achronum If I wanted to make a mage that had an affinity for manipulating or transforming metal (think Fullmetal Alchemist mixed with Magneto from X-men), would that be a subset of earth magic or its own thing altogether? Or just too OP/not within the scope of magic in the setting?

@Scribe of Thoth Great minds, eh? I was thinking of going with 'Steel' as my Mage's aspect. I've got back ups though so I'd rather use one of them instead of overlapping.

EDIT: I was planning to base them off of my current Pathfinder character, which is a White
-haired Witch. Prehensile 'Steel' hair. I may or may not be a Millia Rage fan *cough*

@Crusader Lord Go ahead and move her over! And yes, those effects do exist but they are temporary. Using magic to enhance physical properties does put a strain on the body after a while. As for protecting you against an element, there are short term wards. Long term wards need to be reinforced regularly and the sheer amount of magic they accumulate makes them static.

@Scribe of Thoth Metal is an acceptable element. Since it is such a stubborn element, casting with will alone will be difficult. You will need some medium but otherwise it's perfectly fine!

This looks cool! What does the current mage/vampire ratio look like? I’m thinking about a mage, but I could be convinced to go vampire as well if the ratio isn’t balanced.

@Achronum regarding mages, how do elder mages determine which humans to bring in for the magic test? Do all humans undergo it, or just the ones born to mage families?

Also: would it make sense to create a lineage of mages descended from the representative who co-signed the treaty, and who are very serious about fulfilling the treaty and making good partners to vampires? I’m thinking about making a character from one such lineage who was raised with the ideology that his work as a vampire’s partner is very important and honourable and as such, should be conducted well and be a source of pride.
