its been roughly two hundred years since their appearance became acceptable to modern society. The creatures and beasts of the night, who hid during the day only to feast at night. Vampires and Werewolves alike were now deeply rooted into everyday life. Where shops and other services stay open all hours of the night. They conversed with every day people though generally stayed to their own kind.
Were wolves in packs with the occasional social loner, while Vampires stayed in their colony, also with the occasional outcast.
In recent memory, nothing has been so troublesome as the current state of things. The country is slowly splitting into two sides as vampiric and lycanthropy wrestle for political power. Aside from the obvious other strange things are starting to occur, the dead are waking up as mindless flesh hungry zombies though no one knoes why, and only a handful of the deceased seem to be affected by the plague. Thankfully the daylighters still have little notion of the political unrest and the abnormal occurrences, mostly thanks to the Royal Bureau of Unnatural Citizens. Or the R.B.U.C. which consists of Human, Vampire, and werewolf officers who control, regulate and midigate all Unnatural Citizens. This roleplay is an alternat universe of our own and will mostly take place in London. ( Also I have limited knowledge of London and its layout so... Don't be quoting streets and such if you live there.. )
But is open to move about different countries, this is alternate so something's will be different such as fantastical technology though noting as out landish as cellphones keep it sort of to the time piece. [1880]
You will take part as an officer of the R.B.U.C. You will be assigned to a newly opened office. Your mission is to keep the peace and investigate Unnatural Crimes.
For this rp there will be no prime minister just two unnatural electives who advise the queen. A werewolf and vampire. Both are social outcasts and have no ties to packs or colonies. They have been advisor to the monarch for respectivly 100 years and 45 years.
Vampiric information: Blood from a patriarccolony, they're generally high class, cunning and tend to have the longest life span. A patriarch is the Master Vampire, who has extended fangs, and the ability too be exposed to sunlight for a very limited time. They occur extremely rarely so are almost never seen outside of their Colonies Home. Odds of a patriarch are 1/880. Becoming a vimpire haults the aging process, so when ever bitten they are permanently stuck that age. Though as a rule of them they only blood humans who are 20+ years of age. With the extreme being 35. The process is incredibly risky and only 1 of 100 will live through the process
Vampires are very territorial and generally do not travel great distances ( They become mentally and physically Ill the further they are from their colony. ) They tend to live between 100-700 years of age. For a vampire to be an Outcast said vampire has to be extremely old, very strong and confident in his prowess as a hunter. Vampires have human servants ( often times used for their blood, and to do their work during the daylight hours. ) They all compete for the chance to be blooded by the patriarch.
There are currently five Colonies in England, two in London alone. The biggest being 12 Vampires and 40 blood servants. While the smallest being 6 and 30 blood servants. The largest and second largest vampire colonies exist in London. Wood to vita organs will kill a vampire. Holy water and other religious things do not harm vampires
Lychanthropy information: Biten from an alpha who can manage a half shift also known as Anubis. They have a wide spectrum of social standing. Though few in the lower class. Their life span ranges from 200-300 years of age. They can take limited exposure to the day light often times the older members can go several days with out sleep. They have the ability to change at whim though new pups 10-20 years of age will have a difficult time with doing so. It is still socially unacceptable to be seen nude in public. They have shorter life span than vampires Mostly due to constant pack fighting. They blood between the ages of 20-40
Though females are blooded fareless than males due to violence of turning and higher chances of death. Chances of surviving are 1/4. While female it is 1/50 Though werewolves are incredibly picky to whom they allow into the pack. Prospects work much like Blood servants except for the feeding part. They lock their pack bretheren into a cell every full moon. As required by RBUC.
There are 40 packs in england, only four in London. The largest pack being 30 Werewolves and 70 prospects The smallest being 10 werewolves and 20 prospect. Silver to vital organs can and will kill a werewolf. Holy water and such items do not harm Werewolves.
