^{Disclaimer: Will have MATURE and possible DARK themes, 18+ required.}

_{In a city of limitless opportunity what does it take to make it to the top? With a game of mortal and immortal players, will you rise to lead or humbly step down to follow?}

---

_{Ah, New York, the city that never sleeps. Home to eight million people trying to make their dreams come true in this concrete jungle. From Fashion Weeks full of iconic moments to thriving black market businesses selling a variety of mind breaking drugs, the Big Apple has it all. Maybe a bit out of what you expected, but wander into the wrong neighborhood and you might find yourself stumbling upon the beautiful and terrifying predators you thought only existed in legends. The City of Dreams attracts people from all walks of life, and for decades now has been hosting a healthy population of affluent, and... not so affluent.. immortals. Well to be more specific, Vampires.}

^{♔ † ♕ ♔ † ♕ ♔ † ♔}

_{Unlike the tropes of Hollywood and horrors of novels these vampires are much more... human. how disappointing. They dominate and struggle in much of the same ways you and I, some have made their way into national and global leadership positions, some own Fortune 500s, and some are poor struggling college students trying to figure out what the fuck they want to do. Once upon a time, their society was a secret hidden in the shadows, though with new rulers come new eras and Dmitri Tepes, the current king envisions a future where human and vampiric society has become one, a seamless mix of the immortal and the mortal.}

^{And that, my dear friends is where you, the next generation of leaders, come in.}

^{♔ † ♕ ♔ † ♕ ♔ † ♔}

Dmitri Tepes, your King, has invited you to a weekend getaway on his private island. You arrived yesterday, mingled, or fought (depending on who you are *side-eyes*) and drank WAAAY too much. The party was the best you've ever been to, and you've been alive for awhile. You're waking up, or maybe trying to get a few extra minutes, hungover, maybe doing a walk of shame, or perhaps you never went to sleep? But one thing is for sure, the smell of food, and that decadent blood laced secret concoction is calling your name from the main dining room.

_{Your vampire(s) have been chosen as part of a joint experiment from the three royal house leaders. Essentially your vampire(s) are being 'cut-off' from their houses/families and given the task to build up a new house from 0. With no money, no influence and probably no experience they will have to rely on their creativity and abilities to persuade, gather and recruit. All the while navigating their new found freedoms in a city of 8 million people. Have fun~}

The World of Vampires

x x x Aging All born vampires experience some level of aging. Those of pureblood lineage will age slowly over time, stopping the flow of time by completing the Permanence Ceremony on the night of a Blood Moon. Halfbloods age at a faster rate compared to Purebloods and cease their flow of time by drinking the blood from one of the three King Candidate families. Bite Perhaps a more perfect predator than Hollywood created, the bite from a vampire is said to release an abundance of endorphins resulting in a euphoric feeling rivaling that of a high or even an orgasm. Blood Purebloods are vampires born without a trace of human genetics. Halfbloods are various mixtures of human and pureblood genetics, some being more human and some being more vampiric. Turned are ex-humans, who have survived the change and tend to be more impulsive and reckless than their ancient counterparts. Ferals are monsters who had once rejected the change and turned into something close to mindless killing machines. Luckily their numbers are few and their threat is well maintained. Feeding Provides strength to ALL vampires, but it is not as necessary for Half-Bloods, especially those closer to being human, to feed on blood. Purebloods that sympathize with humans can make the choice to drink animal blood, or blood from other vampires, but most do not. Turned are the only ones who cannot eat human food, and tend to struggle the most dealing with the thirst of their new lives. Most vampires only need to feed about every other day but can go a longer period of time while taking on various ailments. Imprinting An intimate bond formed between vampires that drink from each other, and a less intimate bond that forms during both parties during the creation of the Turned. Imprinting in recent years has become less of a form of love between vampires [especially Purebloods] and used more as a means to heighten the euphoria experienced during sex and drinking. For the Turned, Imprinting is an important part of keeping their humanity intact during the Change. Imprints are broken when another is formed, a brief painful experience is shared between both parties, but is soon forgotten. Reproduction Purebloods are the only ones in Vampire society able to reproduce with themselves. Halfbloods cannot bear children with other halfbloods but can with purebloods and humans. Turned vampires are unable to bear children. Sunlight Purebloods and Halfbloods can walk freely in the day, as long as they have consumed healthy levels of human blood. The longer it has been since the last feeding the more painful sunlight is to them, what starts as an itchy annoyance quickly turns into an unbearable ache. Unfortunately, much like the ferals who the Turned share common genetics with, sunlight exposure is painful and quickly turns lethal, so quick travels, say, from a door to a car is a safe trip for those needing to do work during high noon on a summer day.

† 1960: Current ruler, last of the purebloods of Drakuli, announces a desire to pass the crown to a new royal house.
† 1971: Dmitri Tepes becomes head of the House of Tepes, his goals backed by many of the supporting families.
† 1975: Dmitri's negotiations with the world leaders of human society for coexistence is finally successful.
† 1980: Dmitri is chosen to take the throne, and the Tepes Family become the new rulers.
† 2001: The Drakuli Family loses their last pureblood and falls from the Royal
† 2012: Zeno's leader resigns, and his eldest, and much more ruthless son takes the lead. Tensions between the Zeno and Tepes families rise.
† 2020: Saturday, May 16 2020, 9:30 AM, Present day. You are beginning your recovery from the wild party of the night before, the smell of breakfast wafts through the great house beckoning you from your room. What will the day have in store for you?

The Royal Families

_{AN: Think of these as more like 'factions', The three original families are based on traditions and so far are the only eligible ones to ascend to the throne. BUT their followers are direct members of the family or supporters of the specific lifestyle/philosophy. SO you can be of the House of Artois, but not a part of the Artois Family. This applies to humans who may have married in, bared children, or are employeed.}

The Mob

Ambitious | Charismatic | Cruel | Diligent | Egotistic | Rebellious | Sexual | Wild

The heart of the black market in New York City. With connections and manpower to go around, they fly under the radar of both Human Police and Vampiric law. Treading the fine line between the wrath of Dmitri Tepes and his blind eye. The house of Zeno's new leader has taken it upon himself to see how far he can push against the rule of the Royal Family. The Zeno's leader has a strong distaste for humans and refuses to turn any into children of the night, but cannot deny their marginal usefulness, and employs many as dealers, prostitutes, and the likes.

_{Possible positions: One of 14 pureblood children of the Zeno Elders (including the siblings of the current leader 6/10 spots remain), a half-blood follower, or a human employee.}

The Traditionalists

Achievement-oriented | Cautious | Demanding |Loyal | Restrictive |Powerful | Prestigious |Traditional

Currently the strongest and wealthiest of the families. Dmitri Tepes is an honest ruler who holds the highest expectations for his children, followers and human employees. Other than the skyscrapper challenging expectations, outward appearances and reputation is of utmost importance and Tepes children and employees are expected to behavior and hold positions in respectable manners. Where the Artois have a genuine love for humans, the Tepes acknowledge the necessity to have good relationships with them but hold recognize them as inferior beings.

_{Possible positions: One of 18 pureblood children of the Tepes Elders (including one of Dmitri's children 1/4 spots remain), one of few half-blood followers, or prestigious humans.}

The Visionaries

Arrogant | Artistic | Empathetic |Innovative | Passionate |Progressive | Unorganized | Weak

What the House of Artois lacks in strength it makes up in its creative minds and scholars. Truly a 'fun' family to be born and a house to pledge allegiance to. The Artois find themselves dominating the fields of art, engineering, and technology, from Household Designer Brands to Ground Breaking new car innovations. Their leader stepped up to the spot some 100 years ago and has been leading the way for progression within the Vampiric World. Empathetic and loving of humans there are many Halfblood 'Children', Turned and Humans in the house of Artois.

_{Possible positions: One of 5 pureblood children of the Artois Elders, one of many half-blood followers, turned or humans.}

The World of Humans

x x In 2020 x Only the bravest of souls venture to the East Coast's most populated city. What awaits you here is going to require all the bravery you can muster. Maybe you're a new artist looking for that big break? Or perhaps you're a person running away from their past looking for a fresh start. Well, either way, the only chance you have at making it in this cutthroat city is by standing out and being the best at whatever it is you do. Also, just a pro tip... pay attention to the neighborhoods you're walking into, the last thing you need is to walk straight into a den of vampires, but no worries there it feels real good when they bite. Ha, Good Luck out there!

Order of Hunters

^{Genesis est. 130 AC, relocated to England}

A secret tucked away in human society with an ancient bloody history that'd make most humans shrink away in disgust or fear. Something in between cold-blooded killers and noble protectors, the Hunters have always been the greatest threat to Vampires and the other beings lurking in the shadows. Through generations of experimentations, sacrifices and endless fighting the hunters of the old age found their ideas realized after the raids of during the 100 years war yielded the catalyst to put them on even footing with their immortal nemesis. Mortal, and finite in their existence they trained tirelessly from a young age to harness the newfound strength and speed to put them at the top of the food chain. Though the time of supernatural wars is long since gone the main house of the Order is a safe haven for those of the Hunter families. Nowadays the Hunters work as contract personnel and alongside the Police Departments all across the world as special divisions overseeing and handling the worst of Supernatural cases and hunting down the beings who cross over their well-defined lines.

The Boring Rules

RPG Rules † You know what they are, so don't be a dick.
Drama † I will clown tf out of you if you try to start some shit online, okay?_{trust me, you don't want that. don't be a dick.}
Writing † Going for quality over quantity, if it looks like a fourth grader wrote your post I will say something. Errors and mistakes are coo, we're all human it happens, but proofread once in a while, okay?
Posting † I'm not a babysitter, so I'm not going to check up on you to make sure you're keeping up with posting. As an adult, I expect you to be considerate and self-aware. This is a group roleplay, character interaction is the main point, if you're absent or interacting with a single character it fucks that all up. So don't be a dick.
Characters † You understand your capabilities better than I do. I won't have a character limit initially and will expect each character to be made with the same care and thought as the first. The same goes for the quality of your posts, so just be mindful of that, but go wild if you want.
Themes † I like dark shit, vampires are sluts, and NYC is probably a city with lots of drugs, so yeah, if that's not your thing go elsewhere.
Building † If you get some crazy lightbulb idea to add into this world let us (@Hoekage, @Tootsiepop,@GhostMami) know! I love when y'all get excited and throw ideas out there for us to work into our own plans!
Joining † The OOC will be used as for announcements, asking and answering questions and interacting(but we have a discord for that). So to join, set up a group DM with ALL the GMS, and we'll show our approval or demand suggest any changes. Then you can post that sexy little CS up on the character tab.

The awesome discord

[AlteredTundra]

So, in addition to my initial character of Dominic Zeno with Matthew Grey Gubler as the fc, I will also be making a very morally horrible vampire hunter who will kill them for sport with a name TBD but his fc will be Michael B. Jordan.

If there's room I'd be interested in joining

Occupation:

Social Media Influencer / Product Model / Spokeswoman - Employed by the Artois family Eliza works as an Influencer, Model, and Spokeswoman within their many companies.
Personal _slave Assistant - Being taken in by the Artois family she grew up doing things around the estate with the other wait staff. As she grew in age she has taken on a closer role within the family structure; extending to her above stated occupation.

Loyalty:

Artois Family.

Personality:

+Confident. Living her life in a rather public platform has given her a rather high level of confidence in herself.
+Easygoing. She doesn't let much get under her skin. There isn't much that "lights a fire under her". She very much of a roll with the punches type and solve issues as they arrive; instead of planning for issues and solutions.
+Quick minded. Though she doesn't plan for issues arising she is quick to find solutions to them. Mostly coming about as a means to get back to her easygoing lifestyle. She knows the shortest time spent on issues means the more time for leisure.

-Lazy. Her easygoing nature often lends to laziness.
-Fake. While not inherently fake she has no moral standard towards genuine emotions. In her line of work she has learned to play the cards she knows the others wants to see; whether it's genuine or not. So she can't be entirely trustworthy.
-Distant. She has a difficult time opening herself up to others. She does her best to keep a level of emotional distance people herself and others.

Aspirations/goals:

At this moment, zero aspirations. Living a life of servitude since she could remember has left little room for personal goals. So her own "aspiration" is to enjoy as much time as she has in this world.

philosophy:

Fuck drama, have fun. Generally her lives credo. So when she received the invitation she thought it would be, at the very least, a fun time.

Fears:

Skill Set:

Exceptional Actress. Given her lifestyle she become rather skilled at acting and putting up a facade to get what she wants. She can easily change her personality to something that best suits her environment.
Basic self-defense. Being a public figure she thought it wise to take self defense courses. So through the years she became competent in hand-to-hand combat and minimal firearms training. While she wouldn't be a match against a seasoned fighter, could could hold her own against the general populace.
Runner. Needing to keep her figure in check she is very physically active; hence why she is so lazy when she isn't exercising. Her primary source of exercise is cardio, making her rather fast and having high stamina.

5'4 and 130 lbs

Pansexual

Ethiopian

|Relationship Status|

Creates homemade jewelry on Etsy and sells tarot card readings, but most of the time works at the library. Just got another job at a small coffee shop.

---

---

|Appearance|
Standing with as much poise and assertiveness as one could standing at 5'4, when Avyanna walks into a room, she makes sure that no games are gonna be played. With her head held high, and usually a small smirk on her full lips, it's obvious that she knows what she wants and how to get it whether that be by force or not. She has a soft, round face and a deep, rich skin tone accented by her light use of makeup, although she most of the time prefers a more natural look. She has messy, thick and curly hair that she's highly fond of, no matter how difficult it is to brush, and it's often wrapped with a sort of cloth material that helps her keep it contained. She has a piercing gaze and dominant green eyes that are surrounded by thick eyelashes and similar, defined eyebrows.

Avyanna's style usually consists of the flashy and somewhat flamboyant, often wearing a surplus of jewelery and a small amount of makeup to compliment her dark skin tone. She enjoys showing off a bit of skin, especially her legs, she's proud of them, though she tends to keep her arms covered usually in some sort of shaw-like covering. She drifts towards darker or neutral colors, but also different kinds of patterns and/or intricate designs on the fabric that she likes to believe that can be drawn back to her African heritage.

Most times Avyanna can be seen wearing some sort of head wrap, containing her thick, curly hair, which is surprising considering she has a lot of it. Her jewelery consists of large, dangling earrings, at least two or three necklaces that usually have some sort of gem or crystal on them, a nose ring, gold ankle and wrist bracelets, and plenty of assorted rings. She takes her fasion very seriously, only accepting less around those she feels comfortable with.

|Personality|
_{🕸Mischievous🕸Cunning🕸Proud🕸Sarcastic}

Avyanna is a laid back and "anything goes" type of person, though almost instinctively drawn to drama, enjoying to either start something and watch the scene unfold, or just to sit back and relax with a bowl of popcorn nearby. She almost never finishes things herself, and would rather have others do it for her instead. She tends to be a bit cynical, everything she does seems to be for her own gain though she does enjoy the company of other people, so friendliness is in her best nature.

She doesn't really like attention, unless it's for her fasion, so she most times stays out of the spotlight, and would much rather be in the background. Avyanna is rather intelligent and her patience level is super high, preferring to take her time when performing tasks or other things, and she's also slow to anger, though irritation is on the totally opposite end. She enjoys studying random topics, especially things on religion or history or the supernatural, as the past is extremely intriguing to her and she likes to know as much as she can.

She's an amazing actress, improv is just as easy as breathing for her, for she never falters and has an amazing memory, so keeping up with stories is no problem. She does tend to be a bit impulsive, which questions her wisdom a little amd brings her to make rash decisions, so she trys to stay out of situations that would bring her to make those decisions.

|Likes|
· Gardening
· Gambling
· Using gems and crystals for spiritual means
· Reading

|Dislikes|
· Unwanted attention
· Dogs
· Cold weather New York's really fuckin' cold

|Skills|
· Highly intelligent and having extensive knowledge on many subjects, Avyanna shows her strength through her mind and use of words rather than muscle; yes, large amounts of strength would be cool, but to her, being book smart is much more useful.
· She's a great liar, though of questionable loyalties. Will do anything to protect that of which she believes in.
· Unpredictable and not easily read, Avyanna enjoys throwing people off with fake cues and emotions, which makes her great at gambling and other risky games.

|Aspiration|
Avyanna wishes to understand her situation better, but also to keep up with her studying. She wants to eventually become someone in life, honestly, she's stuck and doesn't know who to ask for help. She's tried going online, but she can never get any true answers, which is extremely disappointing to her. She just wants to have her many questions filled.

|Affiliation|
???

|Fears|
· Her questions being unanswered
· Losing everything
· The unexpected to happen

|History|
Born in Ethiopa, Africa, Avyanna was adopted in the US by a loving, middle class Vietnamese family, who were unable to have children of their own. Ever since she was young, Avyanna was always interested in the supernatural, never really growing out of the "fairy tale" age that soon grew into interest for spiritual rituals, collecting crystals and such to charge them, mostly keeping them for good luck and other phenomena. As she grew older, she found a small paradise in gardening and herbology, growing many diiferent species of flowers and vegetables, in which she would sell to help pay for college, even if it was just a little bit.

It was after highschool that Avyanna moved to New York for school, majoring in plant sciences with minors for religion and other history classes, along with biology. Still avidly researching the supernatural, but for a more realisitc cause, such as their effect on history and the past, "Vampires" weren't exactly a reality to her, until some time after her 26th birthday; Avyanna had been out of school for awhile now and was struggling to find a good paying job, not wanting to mooch off of her parents for money. She was just walking home, discussing with a friend on how time passed too fast, when she was attacked and bitten, barely making it out alive, though through the next few years, she had wished that she had died that day instead. Still clueless as to who bit her, she's tried to figure out this whole vampire ordeal, with little luck.

Now time has passed, and she's learned to cope with her new identity,though still trying to figure everything.

[Sugar and Spite]

Tessa Elizabeth Zeno-Cross

Tes ☪ Tessie ☪ Liz ☪ Lizzy ☪ Beth ☪ Bitch ☪ ”Diabla”

_{(Emeraude Toubia ☪ Light Gray)}
Tessa Elizabeth Zeno-Cross ☪ Female ☪ Aromantic Pansexual ☪ Bus Down Thatiana (Single) ☪ The Wild Middle Child

☪ Affiliation: ☪ Though she Carrie's her mothers last name as well as her fathers, Tessas loyalty lies with the house of Zeno and Zeno alone.

☪ Personality: ☪ Tessa is the sort of girl that know what she wants, and she won’t stop until she gets it - rather it be a person, or an item. A very possessive girl, she has a problem with taking no for an answer. Tessa is also a very blunt person, always saying things the way that she sees them. She’s known to be a major bitch, and even cold-hearted at times. More often than not, it seems that she is only looking out for her own well being - though that is not entirely the truth. Tessa actually has quite the hero complex and tries to save people in any way that she can - rather that means being there for them emotionally or fighting to keep them safe on the battlefield.

Most of the time, Tessa is rude and sarcastic, though she does have a softer side. While the young woman has more enemies than friends, there are a few people that she holds close to her heart and that she would do just about anything for. Flirtatious as can be, Tessa - like most other vampires - sees humans as play things. Breakable, tasty playthings. A bit of a sadistic person, Tessa enjoys playing with her prey before going in for the kill. It is not uncommon to see her at a party or for her to have a one night stand.

☪ Aspirations/goals/philosophy: ☪ ”Honestly…? I'm already royalty, I have a fuckton of money, I've read all of Shakespeare's plays, and I own all the cute clothes I could ever ask for. If I have one goal in life - er… afterlife? - it would be to learn as much about everything that I can. Knowledge is power.

☪ Skill Set: ☪

☪ Knowledge Is Power - Tessa knows things about both the human and vampire world that others may not. She'll share any secret that doesn't belong to herself or her closest friends for the right price.
☪ Charismatic - When Tessa talks, people listen. The ‘young’ woman is quite persuasive.
☪ Interrogating Specialist - Got a hostage that wont talk? Call Tess. She’ll be the one to make them squeal - though no one can promise that there won't be a mess to clean up afterwards.
☪ Tessa dances, sings, and plays the piano as well as the violin.
☪ Speaks Spanish (often breaks out into spanish when angry), Russian, Latin, French and German. (Google translate will be used for all of these lmao)
☪ Weapons Master - Tessa has spent a great deal of time playing chess reading books, partying and learning about weapons. She can wield a sword, crossbow, and a wide variety of guns. Her aim is nearly perfect.
☪ Mechanics - Tess likes cars. Fast cars. Lots of vroomy stuff but also a lot of engine stuff.
☪ She's one hell of a poker player.

☪Fears: ☪ True, unconditional love. She's a strange one.

☪ History: ☪ Tessa hasn't really done that much with her life, sadly. She's gone places and seen things. Partied, drank and slept with more than her fair share of men and women both. But her life hasn't really amounted to anything. She's just another of the #ZenoDissapointmentClan. Tessa has spent most of her days fighting battles when need be and soaking up knowledge when she can. Her latest adventure includes being a full time law student and a part time bartender.

☪ Other: ☪ She carries her mothers name as a reminder of said mother.

Two Artois pureblood positions open! after talking things out my boys Viktor and Sebastian will be Elders, brothers of sorts to Dmitri. Seb prefers Artois over his bloodline, and Vik walks a dangerous line of keeping the king sane, while achieving his own personal goals. I didn't want to take up the pureblood positions, so ya'll can join as 'em. Plus, my boys were meant to be old AF anyways.
