[OOC] Dance in the Night - A Vampire Society Role Play

[NyanCaxx]

@ViolentViolet
Thanks Violet. I almost didn't click on this when I saw it in the casual rp list. I'm glad I did.

[ViolentViolet]

@NyanCaxx
It's in the casual section because I know role plays tend to slow down and sometimes messages get shorter. And a wider variety of players if fun as well.

[NyanCaxx]

@ViolentViolet
I prefer the casual RPs more anyway. Free is too "all over the place" for my liking and I've never really found anything to my liking in Advanced. Casual seems to have a nice level of quality and a varied amount of RPs

[ViolentViolet]

@NyanCaxx
I'm one of those people who loves to read and type and respond to pages of text, but there hasn't been a plot I'm interested in as of yet that's in the Advanced section. I've seen a fair amount of high-casual, almost-advanced role plays floating around the casual section though lol

[Celaira]

Yay more people! :D@ViolentViolet How're the guidelines and whatnot comin' along?

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
Guidelines are good now. Just working on the first IC post.
Do you think I should post the guidelines now so that people have and idea of what I expect, or wait until I'm done my post?

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet I'd say post them now so that everyone has a good idea what to expect. ^^

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
Alright, thanks a bunch. I'll go do that right now.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet No Problem~ :D

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
And there we go. I hope I'm not expecting too much. The time that which everyone should post might be changed at some point, depending on everyone's work, daily schedule etc.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet Honestly, I think it's fine. Super excited for this to get started :3

[Kuroneko]

Hope you don't mind if I slip in an application to this RP.

Shikuya

"I will choose my own destiny"


Name:
Shikuya Shiyumi

Aka:
Yuki-no-hime

Age:
327

Sex:
Female

Sexual Preference:
Heterosexual

Vampire/Human/Slayer
Pure Blood/Aristocrat/Turned

Family:
Parents
No siblings

Significant Other:
None

Gifts:
Yuki-Onna
Shikuya exudes the cool calm of Winter everywhere she goes. The air around her is constantly cold and any water in her immediate presence in frozen solid, particularly any water under her feet.

Ibuki no Fuyu
Shikuya can turn her breath into icy shards that impale and freeze her foes, simply by blowing air from her mouth over the palm of her hand, as if blowing a kiss.

Personality:
Shikuya can seemingly come off as rather cold and almost emotionless upon first meeting her. However, having been raised in a sheltered, traditional life, she is fascinated by the modern Western world and can lose her cool, becoming a bit overexcited, when presented with a new experience.

Biography:
The Shiyumi Clan, a Pure Blooded Vampire line from the East have long coveted the Juran family's place as Rulers of the Vampires. However the Clan has recently faced a problem: The current head of the family and his wife have only been able to produce a single child, a girl. Fearing for their continued bloodline, the Shiyumi clan had their daughter, Shikuya, hidden away until a male heir could be produced for her marry. Despite having been forced to live in seclusion, Shikuya has always been aware of her family's plots to take the position of Rulers from the Jurans, and with every failed plot and every dead Pure Blood, Shikuya has ground her teeth in frustration. Finally Shikuya could not sit by any longer and let the scheming and murders continue. Having hatched a plan of her own, she left her homeland for America, without her Clan's knowledge, and hopes the end the blood feud between the two families once and for all by unifying the Bloodlines.

@Kuroneko
So. You've made one of the characters in the antagonist family atm. I'd like you to go back and find the place where I said you should ask for pure blood and where it's mentioned several times that we need aristocrats, not pure bloods. The Shiyami family isn't available until I've finished creating them unfortunately.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet How's the opening post going? Do you need help, or anything?

[Wraithblade6]

What's this rp about again? It's been so long I forgot.

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira

I'm actually have a really hard time. I've got a serious case of writers block on vampires and stuff. It's driving me insane. I'm really, really sorry that this is taking so long. . . .

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet Well, if you want, you could have someone else set up the scene that you want to open with. It might make it easier on you.

[Arista]

@ViolentViolet I agree with @Celaira on this ^>^ if it's easier let someone help.

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
I suppose it would be. I can see it when I think about it, I just can't. . . write it. You know? It's a ball room, with balconies above the dance floor, a table on the north wall where there's treats and snacks and drinks - including wine and blood. The door is on the west wall, large and oak wood with iron fastenings and silver inlay in the intricate design of a large ash tree. There's vampires gathered, aristocrats and there's excitement in the air. They're anticipating the first ever appearance of the young Juran Princess. She's coming to the public early - probably escorted by her elder brother - and they want to get a good look at the future queen.

Do you see what I mean?

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet Mhmm. I see what you mean.
