[OOC] CLOSED/MAY REBOOT IN FUTURE

[LovelyComplex]

[SkeankySnack]

Name: Lorenzo de'Medici
Blood: Pureblood
Age by appearance: 27
Immortal age: 298
House: N/A
Rank: Freelance Spy
Short bio: Lorenzo was born in Italy in the 16th century during the height of the Renaissance. He was inducted into training at a early age to become an assassin spy and quickly climbed the ranks in his order. It was only one day after reporting back from a particularly difficult mission, that his 'benefactors' captured him and planned to execute him to hide any loose ends. It was then that Lorenzo was visited by a powerful vampire who offered him the chance of revenge and a 'gift' to exact it. Although he almost initially refused, his anger got the better of him and he accepted, allowing the vampire to 'turn' Lorenzo.

Able to execute his revenge, the vampiric powers that filled him enhanced his already lethal skills and he was able to deftly execute his benefactors, and the order they had created. When his work was done and his blood lust satisfied, the stranger was gone, left to his own devices, Lorenzo wandered the earth to continue to hone his skills in espionage. Every so often though, a voice tickles the back of his mind, a voice he cannot forget and one he probably never would; the voice whispers.

"You serve only me now..."

Lorenzo is the perfect combination of snarky and calculating, using his wit and guile to woo, intimidate or persuade individuals in giving him the information he wants. If all else fails however, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and cut a few appendages or puncture someone's kidney if need be. He's considered a bastard among vampires since he walks a lone path and doesn't give a damn about it, only those who know with whom the blood he shares are able to tolerate his existence and even at times, use his skills (for a price).

Perishable

“This need. This…is the need, the need to bleed.”

Name: Willamar “Will” Shriver

Age: 28

Appearance:
Good looking enough, stands a few inches above six feet, one arm is heavily scarred.

[+]

Occupation: Instructor

Short bio (+Personality): Father being a doctor and scientist in various conjoining fields, Will was diagnosed early on to have a condition that abnormally increases the production of red blood cells in his body (Polycythemia). Plainly speaking, there was too much blood the boy’s body, and over time it would come to affect his overall health and comfort. Some of Willamar’s earlier nightmares were of being bled by his father, or having his blood drunken by some monster…not quite understanding the necessity of such a thing till it affected him in his teens, some years after his father’s death.

Continuing the ritual bleeding in order to maintain his health, most of his colleagues seems to assume melancholia when they see the scars, assume a false bravado of happiness…but they simply do not understand, do not know. Most who meet him come to know him as a man who thinks quite positively, and works hard towards his interests, earnestly helping to support the interests of his friends and colleagues.

@Major Ursa Approved. You can put him in Characters :)

[BlackPanther]

Name:Vikas Helsing
Fake name: Vikas Todd

Age: 21

Race: Vampire

House: None

Appearance: [Only anime, victorian-era based or fantasy-esque images allowed]:
Without his outfit:Click me
With his outfit: Click me
(He has green eyes with flecks of gold in them...hazel basically, archer's build, 6 foot 1)

Occupation: Vampire hunter + thief (sometimes vampire hunting doesn't pay enough)

Short bio (+Personality):
Vikas was born to a line of hunters, learning the trade early and getting good at the skill. He is now the go to man for any vampire killing, he even will go after them without a job. He has become ruthless at it, and will not hesitate. This is enforced by his parents being killed when he was 10.
Considering the specialized weapons he uses, he has learned how to make them. his best being a quick reload crossbow. The materials are expensive and he does not receive enough money so sometimes he resorts to stealing. He never does either form of job without his hood so as to keep his identity secret from vampire and human alike. He is a loner, an outcast, and somehow developed a personality that makes it worse. Sarcastic to boot, he generally pushes people further away from him because he can't socialize well. At all.
He was turned not too long ago and that has made him more determined with the hunting side. He has managed to keep his last name hidden, but if it is found out his situation will likely be worse.

Side note: he only wears his vampire hunter outfit when he is hunting or stealing otherwise it's normal attire

[LovelyComplex]

@BlackPanther Approved! Though your name is extremely close to Van Helsing, do you think Dracula will trust him with that last name? Or any vampire for that matter...I don't mind the first name but the last name... xD it screams vampire hunter. Also, you may not want to walk everywhere in a hood. That might be a bit suspicious. When you do your job sure. But not all the time.

[BlackPanther]

@lovely complex
that is what i meant...he is not in it all the time just when he is up to no good so to speak

and the last name was on purpose XD
i can try to find something else or just leave it as first name only

[Nytem4re]

A question, if I make a vampire hunter, what would I be limited to in terms of knowledge and firepower?

[LovelyComplex]

@Nytem4re Depends on your backstory. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll tell you know if it's plausible.

Viktor Cruor

Name: Viktor Cruor
Blood: Pureblood
Age by Appearance: 20
Immortal Age: 915
Appearance: [link]
House: The House of Malkavian
Rank: Prelate
History: Born in the early years after the formation of Kievan Rus', Viktor was the third son of a captain of the fleet. As a young boy, he spent much of his life on ships with his father and brothers, and grew up feeling at home on the water. When he came of age, he took a more active role in the navy of his fatherland. When Prince Igor of Kiev's fleet attacked the Byzantine Empire during the invasion of Bithynia in 941AD, Viktor was twenty years of age, and was proud to sail and fight in his Prince's name. When the fleet was decimated by the Byzantine's own, Viktor's ship was destroyed, and he washed ashore, almost drowned on a beach off the coast of the black sea, in modern day Turkey.

It was on this beach that he was discovered by a beautiful woman, with the face of a young lady, but the wisdom in her eyes of a being more ancient than any Empire. She saved Viktor's life, at the price of his mortality and his homeland. Viktor lived in the Byzantine Empire for many decades after this, living and working in Constantinople under many names, in many different capacities. At different times he was a general, a blacksmith, an advisor, a farmer, a captain of the guard, under many different Emperors.

Viktor left the grand city of Constantinople shortly before its fall to the Fourth Crusade in 1204, and travelled Europe for many years, before eventually settling in England in the late 16th Century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He returned to the seas once more during the Spanish Armada, serving under Sir John Hawkins, in an overwhelming English Victory. It was nearly a century later that he finally settled in London, finding more of his own kind, and joining the House of Malkavian, where he rose steadily through the ranks, until eventually he was ranked just below the House's Elder, a position he treasured and respected greatly.

@Nytem4re Depends on your backstory. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll tell you know if it's plausible.

@lovely complex

I was possibly thinking of playing a Gurkha who had found out about vampires by a British commanding officer. Ultimately this officer sends him to London, something along the lines of that.

[Viciousmarrow]

@Nytem4re That's pretty cool, actually. How would the commanding officer know about vampires though?

[Nytem4re]

@Nytem4re That's pretty cool, actually. How would the commanding officer know about vampires though?

@Viciousmarrow

I had a few ideas in mine. The best one I can think of atm is that the officer was actually attempting to recruit/hire gurkhas to operate as vampire hunters, the officer being a hunter himself. The officer could have approached my character, proved the existence of vampires, and convinced him to go to London and combat the threat.

[Viciousmarrow]

@Nytem4re Yeah, that'll work! You can go ahead and fill out the skelly, and post it here so the GM and/or I can review it.

[LovelyComplex]

@Miakardia Very good. Accepted! Since Viktor would probably be the closest to Francois, he would know of the legendary feud he's had with Amaury Grangrel, for more reasons than one. The root of it all was because Amaury stole Francois' fiance... centuries ago. His sweet, sweet Persephone. Beautiful blonde curls, the palest of skin, and eyes that captured the very soul of a vampire. Amaury raped her and impregnated her with a wretched spawn. Francois had two options: hand her in as a whore and get her executed, or give her to Amaury.

Persephone

He couldn't keep her because when the child would arrive, the baby would have black hair. She would be seen as an adulterer.

[LovelyComplex]

ALSO. FYI. To future applicants.

I have enough loners, hunters, and people not affiliated to the houses.
If you join as the last two humans (I think it's two), you must be an Aspirant or just a regular human with no agenda (who will become involved with the vampires)

or as a vampire. You MUST be in a house.

We have two vampire hunters. One being a vampire that hunts vampires xD and a Gurkha.
A human with a lot of delicious blood that my character will hunt >.>
My friend will be making a spy-like vampire character who resides in a house but who isn't affiliated to any house. A double agent of the sorts, who is like the master of disguise.

Now, I need people to be in the Houses. This is like Gang Wars without anybody being in the gang.

[BlackPanther]

@lovely complex
should we @mention the people who were in the interest check?

i believe a bunch had house vampires

[LovelyComplex]

@BlackPanther I left the link in the Interest Check. I'm sure they'll find this OOC soon enough. Worst case, I'll PM them. But for now, we will give them time. Who knows what their time zones are! They could be sleeping.

I still need to write my CS.

[BlackPanther]

@lovely complex
....i forgot about different timezones XD my bad

Naomi grew up in a low income, conservative household with two younger sisters. Her father was a minister and her mother was a housewife. Naomi always dreamed of becoming a doctor and has held on to this dream her entire life. Her parents, however, discouraged this dream, planting the idea in her head that women were meant to be mothers and housewives and not professionals. Naomi hid her quest for medical knowledge, often hiding encyclopedias in her room. She was turned and joined the house of Ventrue not too long after her 20th birthday and has spent the last 100 years adding to her medical knowledge, hoping to use her skills to benefit her House.

Naomi is outspoken and assertive. She enjoys people and is stimulating company. Outgoing, social, and open, but often attention seeking. She can be insensitive and is always joking. She’s creative, resourceful, and intellectually quick. She enjoys debating issues and gets caught in a spirit of one-upmanship. She’s talented at presentation and gets excited about new ideas and projects. She has a great ability to understand concepts and apply logic to find solutions. She considers herself a rule breaker, risk taker, and thrill seeker. Comfortable in unfamiliar situations, Naomi appreciates strangeness and counterculture. She is adaptable but messy, easy going and adventurous. She is quite an aggressive experience junky. Not easily offended, carefree, dangerous, fearless, and careless. She is emotionally stable and a spontaneous improviser. She’s considered a flirtatious player, wild and crazy, and dominant.
