[OOC] Bring Me Peace ~ PopeAlessandros x Apoalo

[PopeAlessandros]

This is a one-on-one RP between PopeAlessandros and Apoalo. Not us, don't post. Also, M/M, don't like, don't read!

Base Idea:

In a small New England town, a string of murders of travelers in the are has gotten the authorities a little on edge. They have no clue as to who has committed the murders, but are calling on surrounding villages for aid. Word reaches the freshly establishes vampire coven several miles away, and the details of the murders raises suspicion of it being a vampire doing the killings. Not wanting to loose their foothold in the new world, they dispatch someone to find out if their suspicions are correct. When he arrives, he finds living out in the woods a young vampire. It's obvious from his tattered clothing and blood stain visage that the boy was dropped after being turned, or even simply left where he'd been made with the maker having made no effort to raise the youngster. Taking the boy into his care, it is not the Elder's job to find out who made him, and stop him form doing the same in other villages, raising the alarm for the humans and ruining all the coven's hard work.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So, do you wanna start with Setting or Plot?

[Apoalo]

Setting. I reallllllllllly like colonial Maryland or carolinas. Maybe Charleston or the outskirts.

[PopeAlessandros]

Since I am not known for my historical accuracy I will tell you know I will be making up random names for places, however I will be staying in the right area and geographical features of America's east coast :P As such, I don't mind where you would like to picture in your head for a base line :P This of this as our America that we will build as we go along :P

For the specifics I see the town being a port town since the boy was likely dumped by someone just passing through, or whatever story we come up with works too. I like the idea of a coast town, not too far from the woods, maybe only a road separating "civilization" from the wilderness. Also, town not tooooo small so the deaths, while horrible, not something that would send the town into a frenzy.

Your thoughts?

[Apoalo]

I'm thinking somewhere on the edge of New Englad border. There's a lot of little fishing towns that ha roots in colonial times. Possibly (depending on how historically accurate we want to be. It could be during the French and Indian war. That way if a few people disappear it won't really be noticed. Would also be a reason the coven has been getting stronger.

I for one am a history nut but I'm fine with our making up city names and the such.

[PopeAlessandros]

As long as you let me throw in rivers and lakes and the like without having to prove it exists(Since likely it won't) then I think we can work this :P The coven is actually less like a witch coven and more like a well established underground society that already has several footholds in the larger townships, and one small one in the smaller inland villages. There still aren't enough for them to be a major power, but they are moving along well. I would have to research a bit to figure out the war stuff, but sounds okay for now.

Hmmm. . . .I think we've got almost enough to get started. The other setting we can build as we go along. . . .For the plot. I was thinking that your guy being left behind would actually be a significant thing, signaling that something not right is going on, and maybe even he not being the only one. Like, some time down the road finding almost a trail of newborns leading to something. . . . .Ideas? I don't wanna lay out the plot completely, but does this sound like a good vague idea?

[Apoalo]

Yea, possibly beaten pretty good. Would make the bad guy more sinister. As far as the newborn trail I think that's a great idea. I already can't wait haha, my character could have had a brother with him to that is missing. Would certainly add something to the drive.

[PopeAlessandros]

The newborn would be almost feral when my guy finds it, which means it would have to have been in the woods a while, and with a vampire's healing ability. . .He could have been abused to make him stay put when he was dumped because a fresh vampire has the innate urge to follow their sire. So if you want, he could have been beaten back when he was dumped and recall it later.

We could go with both brothers were turned, but only the missing brother was kept for some nefarious reason to be figured out later :P

~*~*~*~*~*~

Not saying you have to use my template, just putting it out there. However if you don't give me all the info I ask for on the template I will end up asking you a lot of questions, or if you use your own template and you compact some of the sections(Like simply putting all physical factors under one heading "Appearance") I will likely take your profile and put it on my layout so I can find the information more quickly. Oh, and I have a moral opposition to using picture on profiles unless it was specifically drawn FOR your character. So, yeah. . . .I won't be using one :P

[Apoalo]

Name: Samuel North

Race: New-born

Age: 10

Height: 4 foot, 5 inches.

Weight: 67 pounds.

Hair: Darker Blonde.

Eyes: Deep blue.

Skin: In the middle between pale, and tanned (in life) now the child tends to be more pale.

Build: Average build for a ten year old boy, slightly more toned from helping his father in the blacksmith some.

Clothes: Wearing a traditional colonial outfit with no hat, now badly torn and bloody.

Accessories: None.

Powers/Skills: (You wanting them to have powers?)

General Personality: Tended to be rather bubbly and go with the flow. He has since became angry and violent not understanding what has happened to him.

Background: The son of a village blacksmith, Samuel grew up quite normally for a colonial boy. He had his chores, had his lessons, went to church, tried not to eavesdrop over conversation at supper, and played with his friends. He didn't really have a care in the world and was constantly running into the forest to play or just adventure! His parents were of course afraid that with recent problems with the Indian tribes that something was going to end up happening to him but they shoved the fears aside figuring that no Indian would venture this far to the coast.

That was when he met a stranger travelling through the woods. Samuel and his brother Christopher were playing war and heard a voice asking them if they wanted to go with him. For some reason is was really hard to not ignore the voice and so the two boys followed along like a zombie. When the man got them far enough away he suddenly turned and then everything went black...

[PopeAlessandros]

Ah, I see you want no actual sex going on in this RP. . .Cute kid!

~*~*~*~*~

Name: Dirk O'Lauriel

Race: Vampire

Age: Over 1,000(Looks 23)

Height: 6' 1”

Weight: 149lbs

Hair: Black, mid back length, straight, bangs as long as the rest of the hair, parted in the middle, most hair tied back in a hair ribbon most of the time, with bangs left loose to frame face.

Eyes: Frosty light blue(Flash silver when angry).

Skin: Alabaster.

Build: Slender, not scrawny, only vague muscle definition on arms and legs.

Clothes: Tends to wear English gentleman’s garb in dark colors consisting of coat, undershirt, cravat, vest, pants that match the coat, and shiny black shoes. At first meeting he is wearing a dark purple overcoat and pants with deep red undershirt and matching cravat, black vest, and of course the black shoes.

Accessories: Has a wide variety of cravat chains, but only brought three silver ones set with different colored gems for the journey. On the shell of his right ear he wears the mark of his house, which he is the head of, in the form of an ear cuff, silver, with a red stone, inside of which is a falcon beneath the surface.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Faster and stronger than humans with better senses and the ability to turn humans into vampires. Good at climbing and nails can extend a little to become claws. Fangs are naturally inconspicuous however they do grow a little longer when feeding. Darkness is no obstacle. Due to his age he is able to last several minutes in sunlight, and if covered in thick clothes he can last up to an hour before the burns become life threatening.

General Personality: Despite his love for the rich life, Dirk has always had a real sense of adventure. His early life is shrouded in mystery and people have discovered it's not a good subject to ask about as it seems to trigger some negative feelings. He fits in easier with humans than most due to his apparent easy going nature despite his high status in society. He is rather forgiving, however he holds some strong morals that when broken before him he is compelled to act. He is very over protective of children and will go so far as to attack his fellow vampires if he sees them feeding off the young. Despite how well he gets along with humans, he is also disgusted by them on the whole, able to get along with them as long as he doesn't think about how foolish and petty they are as a species.

Background: He was turned a long time ago and spent most of his young like with his sire. Not much is known beyond that. For several years after they separated he traveled a lot, getting to know the world the best he could. It wasn't until he found a calling as a horse breeder that he actually settled down. Before that he worked as a map maker, occasionally “Dying” while out exploring and popping up as a cousin thousands of miles away who picks up the business. However after becoming a world renown horse breeder two generations ago he has regularly taken in youth to “Take over” his business, and running things behind the scenes as an anonymous donor.

The youth would be bound to him, grow old, and die, and another would take their place. Once the new world was discovered he saw it as a chance to be out in the open again and after checking to make sure the coven thought it safe set out to the new world with some good breeding stock. Horses are in great need in the new world so he quickly rose in wealth and fame, however as with any vampire coven, he has his duties to them as well, and when called on, he acts. This particular case interest him greatly and after receiving the order he set out right away to the town, leaving his estate in capable hands.

[Apoalo]

Yea, thought it would be a bit more interesting. No sexual attraction but possible parental? Anyway I'm all for upping the age. :) just thought I'd see your opinion.

Nice character by the way!

[PopeAlessandros]

No no, leave him as is. I can get my thrills for that particular itch in other places. I like being a Papa in stories anyways :P Glad you like my guy! Yours is adorable :P

[Apoalo]

Alright then. :)

[PopeAlessandros]

So, who do you think should start? I think either of us could work, but it may be better if you do. I'm thinking my guy would find yours out in the woods. . . . .But your post wouldn't go to actually meeting me, just an establishing post so I know what my guy would be walking into :P Sound good?

[Apoalo]

Yea, I'll get one up after lunch! :)

[PopeAlessandros]
