[OOC] The World of Blood Compact

[Doc Doctor]

@Wraithblade6

If every time the Magna Pater rises, it eventually gets put down, how is it that it comes to rise again?: That actually depends on who killed it. The player that kills it can choose a way for the fresh, young replacement to enter the world. Naturally it won't just pop up out of the corpse only to die again, and it certainly won't just teleport somewhere safe to grow strong and experienced once more. It's something to be worked out, for the sake of fairness.

Why is it so difficult to kill?: It's difficult to kill permanently, yes, but keep in mind that the new Alpha would be far weaker than the original. It would be smaller, entirely inexperienced, and far, far less ferocious. One could capture it and lock it up for good, without much trouble if they were strong enough to beat the previous Alpha.

Where did it come from?: It's always been. Whatever's beyond that, is a mystery.

What are it's origins?: Mystery again. It's been places, certainly, but its deep past is unknown and unknowable. It's a primeval vampire, a pure monster in and of itself.

Does it have a cult following?: Not a chance. Not even the most extreme cultists would try to worship this bad boy.

Certainly older vampires would know about it and have documented history on it: It's a dread horror that preys on anything it can, favoring the small, helpless, and juicy. That's about all they'd know or need to know about it. They probably tried wiping it out and succeeded here and there, only for a new one to pop up a few decades later. This particular one is mean enough to have lasted twenty centuries, though. If other Magna Paters are sharks, this one is Jaws.

Tell me more about how it could become a part of the main plot or a part of the story in general: A spook that stalks in the background, adding a layer of suspense and danger to the plot. I say let events unfold the old fashioned way.

What are it's weaknesses?: It hates light, but doesn't burn in it. Holy stuff does nothing. Its biggest weakness is when it activates the Malocchio. It has to shut down its other senses to do so, which leaves it unable to react to ambushes or traps.
It can also be killed instantly via destruction of the heart or brain.

Are you going to give it a personality at all?: It does have a personality, which I detailed in the profile beneath Behavior. Its sadistic and sentient, taking pleasure in both physically and mentally breaking down victims before eating them alive. It isn't ambitious, because at its core it hates change, just like all petty bastards. It likes being stronger, its proud and greedy of its status, and by dominating others it boosts its own foul ego whilst reveling in their pain.

Short and sweet, its a feral but wise villain with absolutely no goodness in its grimy heart. It exists just to be a bad, bad thing.

Does it have thoughts? Telepathic?: It has thoughts, but they are entirely malignant and incomprehensible by human standards. It is only telepathic with its brood, but it can see through the eyes of those it has cursed. It can't see their thoughts, only their sight.

@Doc Doctor

No.

You must have a clear origin of being. A Blackbox is highly inappropriate here. The backstory is important here since it creates a sense of history of the vampire in a global setting. That being said you have a monstrosity that hasn't been killed in 2k years by any of the elders who are far older than it, save for perhaps Dracula who died early. Without a known lineage, or balanced design, this is simply a one shot boss fight that offers little as a character and more as an npc encounter.

In other news, I shall most likely do my cogm duties post tomorrow evening after another round of tension in the bar.

[The Grey Dust]

Here's an app for ya.

The Magna Pater

Name: The Magna Pater

Aliases: Salmu Pulhu (Sumerian), Shasheuss-Throth (De Vermis Mysteriis), The Sleeper of the Clandestine

Gender: Male

Species: Elder Horror, Primeval Vampire

Lifespan: As long as it can continue drinking blood. It doesn't age when it sleeps for years in-between large meals.

Goals: To torture and eat any living things it comes across. No more, no less.

Age: 2,047

Appearance: A piebald monstrosity with slime slicked flesh and no hind legs. Its only limbs are two long, winged arms and a powerful tail. It has four claws on each forepaw, with the middle one being eight inches long and capable of slicing through muscle like tissue paper. The beast's head is mostly a dripping maw with oily, unseeing eyes on top, accentuated by long, crinkle cut ears. It has a sharp, hollow tongue which can extend three feet from its mouth and act as a siphon to suck in blood. From snout to tail base, it is over eight feet long. The tail is fourteen feet. It weighs in at about two-hundred and ninety-five kilos, as much as a Siberian tiger.



Abilities

My Hider

~Limited flight. Due to its wingspan and body weight, it can only fly for a maximum distance of ninety meters and remain aloft for little more than a half minute.

~Ectothermic: It's body temperature adjusts to match its surroundings. It can withstand the hottest or coldest environments.

~Tremendous strength and speed, the likes of which dominate the animal kingdom.

~Keen hearing and sonar. It's echolocation has a maximum distance of 6,700 meters and can detect objects moving at half the speed of sound. Its hearing is so good it can locate a victim even through miles of dense forest and with its back turned. Anything faster than its echolocation it can sense almost instantly via air pressure gradient.

~Heat pits: Can detect the heat of organisms.

~Tongue: Can draw in blood through a wound like a vaccuum. It can also squirt or spray blood and bile. The bile is not highly acidic.

~Natural weapons: Its teeth and claws are composed of a complex chitin and protein polymer, harder and sharper than a Humboldt squid's beak, which can pierce modern body armor. The Magna Pater's bite force is superior to what a Nile crocodile can exert. Its tail has roughly 90,000 muscles, flexible enough to delicately pick up small pebbles, and strong enough to accelerate to whip-like striking speeds or strangle large creatures.

~Can squeeze into any opening that it can fit its head through.

~Capable of entering a state of metabolic stasis which can last for decades. It retains spatial awareness during this "hibernation" and can awaken at will.

~Sense of smell: It can track down others thousands of kilometers away just by smelling them on the clothing of its prey.

~Intelligence: Is far more clever that it looks. It has nearly two millennia of experience as a highly prolific interdimensional serial killer, can grasp (but not speak) all languages, and never makes the same mistake twice.

~Can quickly regenerate from wounds by consuming blood and flesh. The amount of mass healed is proportionate to how much is consumed, I.E one pound of food to replace one pound of damaged tissue. It can selectively heal different parts of its body.

~The membrane of its wings is tougher than Kevlar, and can easily stop bullets of the highest caliber.

~Its body mucous and saliva contains anticoagulant, cytotoxic, and bufotoxic properties. Those whom it bites or claws will suffer gradual necrosis, unstoppable bleeding, and fast-acting, nightmarish hallucinations.
The speed at which the bufotoxins take effect depends on how close the wound is to the head, ranging from several minutes to several seconds. It is immune to its own toxins.
The viscosity of the mucous can be regulated, allowing the Magna Pater to be extremely slippery or adhesive.
The mucous functions also to mask its scent.
It can convert and excrete up to twenty percent of its body weight in mucous. It becomes significantly faster when empty, and can regain the weight by eating.

~The Alpha:

Special Ability

Though it would never allow its young to live unless driven to desperation by an immense threat to its existence, for it is a selfish thing that dislikes sharing its hunting grounds, it is able to impose its will upon its brood of lesser vampires via shared split-consciousness. By forcefully breeding with another organism, it can produce in one month a litter of four juveniles. The juveniles mature after a single month and become fully capable of killing and breeding, weighing at that time around 100 kilos each. The brood will never grow to more than 200 kilos. Each one can have a litter of four young, and can breed with as many victims as are available. Any sort of living organism that weighs at least seventy pounds, male or female, can be impregnated.
At such a rate the number of mature brood would grow exponentially as follows, assuming the lowest estimate of each one breeding a single time per month.

Month One- The Magna Pater breeds and the young emerge.

Month Two- Five mature brood counting the Magna Pater.

Month Four- Twenty brood.

Month Six- Eighty Brood.

Month Eight- 320 brood.

Month Ten- 1,280 brood.

Year One- 5,120 brood.

~Malocchio:

Special Ability

It may use its "true eyes" by shutting down its other senses. Before it uses the Malocchio, the intended victim(s) will have a brief premonition of the danger to come. Those who see the true eyes will, each time they go to sleep, enter a trance and begin moving in the direction of the Magna Pater, wherever it may be. They will awaken at the time they normally would, such as a few minutes for a nap and several hours for deep sleep. It also allows the Magna Later to see through the eyes of its prey at any and all times, even at the same time if there are multiple victims. By using the Malocchio on one who is already cursed, the victim's sight will be replaced with that of the Magna Pater's until it deactivates its eyes.

It is a passive curse that has no immediate negative effects unless the victim is entirely under the influence of the Magna Pater's hallucinogens, in which case the victim will immediately lose their mind from fright. If the bufotoxins haven't taken full effect then the victim will feel an intense fear which escalates in accordance to the strength of the already terrifying hallucinations.

Looking into its "true eyes" for too long can result in the victim's body becoming riddled with cancer at a later period in time, I.E developing prostate and skin cancer two years after the encounter. It takes roughly seven seconds of eye-to-eye contact (does not have to be constant) before the dormant cancer cells begin taking root.
The Magna Pater can only keep the Malocchio active for at most sixteen seconds, and cannot use it again until the same amount of time has passed. As an example, if it only uses it for ten seconds and then deactivates, then it must rest its eyes for ten seconds.

~Those that are consumed by the Magna Pater whilst cursed by the Malocchio have their consciousness eternally bound to their physical state of matter. They gain a horrific form of immortality, doomed to live on forever in boundless agony as inert particles bequeathed unto the earth, lost to time and memory beneath the weight of the ages.

(A lesser, juvenile vampire)

Behavior: The Magna Pater is what one would first think of when the word "monster" comes to you in the dead of night.
It may be called if one completes a forbidden ritual detailed within the ancient tome of black magic known as De Vermis Mysteriis, but nary a being would consider doing such an obscene thing. It makes no noise, has no mercy, cannot be reasoned with, and lives only to drain the blood and devour the flesh of all living things it can bind within its greasy wings. It enjoys all manner of prey and is especially inclined to go out of its way to find toddlers and infants, but it is shy and despises the light. It prefers to remain in damp pitch-blackness, where no eyes can spy it and no light can fall upon it. When outside of its primary lair it lurks around graveyards, occasionally squirming through the wormy soil to feast upon the dead and decaying when no live meat is available.

("The dark side of life, and the horror of it, belonged to a world that lay remote from his own select little atmosphere of books and dreamings.")

It will frequently impregnate victims with its brood, keeping them alive until its malformed young are birthed. It will eat both the victim and the young, doing these things not for food but to purposefully inflict prolonged torment. The few who come into contact with it and live may never be the same as they had been before, for above all else it is a creature of persistence. Even if one leaves the Magna Pater, it will never leave them. A variety of lifelong physical complications and psychological ailments can stem from a meeting with it and it never stops pursuing its prey, even if they move far away. It will also track down any living thing that leaves its scent on a victim. This leads to the Magna Pater consuming the families of those it hunts, along with anyone those families had come into recent physical contact with. Though one may travel often and abroad, once the Magna Pater has chosen a victim their fate is inevitable. It could take days, weeks, months, even years, but eventually on some cold and moonless evening one will awaken to see a sticky face with dead eyes peering through their bedroom window.


(Drawing found in the desk of ten year old Vidya Singh, who went missing in Kanpur, India, two months after claiming to have seen a demon in his backyard.)

History:

Once in a millennium is a creature born, a living horror known as the "Magna Pater". The progenitor of monsters, the true genesis, the harbinger of loss, ancient and terrible. Only one has ever lived at a time, for it is greedy and does not abide its own kind, but always has one lived. It is the alpha of its virtually nonexistent subspecies, devouring its own normal young at birth. Only when the lone alpha dies is a new one conceived. It travels far and with little preference, drawn to whatever realm has foolishly called it via black magic. Its race has seen and ended more civilizations than there are stars in the sky. In Sumeria it was worshipped as a cruel deity to which countless sacrifices were made. In this lifetime does a special one exist, the most dreadful of its kind to have ever been. Even the most vile of devils would balk at associating with it. Like each Magna Pater before it, it wields the unique capacity to share the sight and manipulate the will of its subspecies. It treasures the world, but only for the sadistic pleasures it can derive from bringing pain and grief to other living things.

Though it lingers not permanently on this planet, it is anchored here during times of inactivity. It haunts the secret places deep below ground, amidst a lichen hellscape of death and graverot. It slumbers upon a towering mountain of soggy bones, the bones of children, reigning over its decaying empire on a haphazard throne several thousand lives thick. Those who enter this wretched domain, where the blue sky transitions into a black void, do so at the risk of becoming yet another skeleton upon which the Magna Pater may sleep, with their loved ones soon joining them.

Theme Music:

@Doc Doctor

Very bad balancing on the powers and abilities.

First it is a phoenix which cannot truly die, therein it seems like a character which cannot be removed by any
means. The only method of death is metadata where the roleplayer no longer continues to rp, at which we cannot quite kill it off.

Second it has an quadrupaling rate of minion generation with any living thing of at least 70 pounds (please stick to either metric or customary, you switched from kilos to pounds, hence from mass to force) which in 2k years, it would have amassed probably more descendants than there are people on earth.

Third, you haven't addressed weaknesses sufficient to balance the creature to the point where it is blatantly OP, hence I assume you wish to play a powerful, world changing vampire, yet offer no backstory and logic as to why it was allowed to live this long if indeed it is the OP threat you make it to be.

Fourth, as much as I love hovercraft as much as the next cultist, I'm against interdimensional cosmic horrors here, unless you want people to start playing as primeval vampire gods that predate this world.

Also, I am familiar with your level of roleplay Gonad, if I'm a bit cautionary it is because the OPness is quite open here and I'm trying to judge maturity levels in usage of powers and abilities, but since you have not given me more than lazy blackboxes, I'm going to have to assume these powers are going to be used indiscriminately through the rp without regard as to how it will impact the larger scale of things.

[Doc Doctor]

@The Grey Dust

But the lineage is known. It is its own lineage, which has always been around. I guess the very first Magna Pater was simply hatched from the fires of creation?
If you want the full history, good luck. Waaaay too many events to even begin describing. I gave it a history, a relevant one that's easy to understand. It lives here, it eats here, everything hates it. What more could possibly be needed?

No idea what you mean by "balanced design". I don't recall identifying it as a boss fight. It doesn't play by the rules of other thinking beings. It's a patient killer that bides its time, singling out one victim at a time to personally and intimately antagonise over a long period of time.

I say it has a fair bit more to offer than pointless two-bit romances between pretty faced palies that grew up in fine clothes and in fancy castles.

[Doc Doctor]

@The Grey Dust

Easy fix, I can just edit out the Alpha and Reincarnation abilities, and remove the parts that mention how it can be called to other realms.

As for Gonad, he was literally made to be as fair as possible. It's even in his profile.

@Doc Doctor

So you are creating a new vampire line, which of itself requires the origin of the line to be made relatively clearer than it just was, is, and will be. You give me 2k years of history, important events happened in that time period in the world, and unless your proposed cosmic horror is inactive all that time, it should have some sort of history. If not a slice of its origin, will suffice and what it has done all this time up to this point.

It is a giant monstrous beast vampire that's 14 feet long and about the weight of a tank. And this is its normal state of being, Solider will send in the big guns to kill it. hence, though you do not believe it is a boss fight, unless you can integrate it seamlessly into this rp logically, it will become a boss fight since it is the most powerful thing on the board if accepted as is. Hence, regardless of how you intended it, it makes no sense for us to just let it sit and fester.

Ergo, I must ask, since you brought it up, what does it offer the rp? If not the boss fight, how did you intend on playing the character without objectifying it as the common enemy? See the part I don't understand about this character is that there is no room for character growth via character interactions making it rather flat since who wants to interact with something that merely eats things? It has the personality and goals of a singe celled organism. There is no backstory, no higher motivations beyond personal needs, no real reason for it to be considered a non-npc. Unless you can find it one and someone to play along.

I mean I suppose you can go the Moby Dick route, but that's between you and your Ahab.

[The Grey Dust]

@Doc Doctor

And no, it's not just you, I'm this critical with all applications, if you look at my previous posts in deciding if a character is to be accepted or not since I'm tasked to be the impartial judge foe setting the balance of things and keeping the rp semi-realistic with respect to the line of events and structure of immersion.

[The Roman07]

I like it, kinda reminds me of Jaunty from Shadowman but a much bigger meaner and hungrier version. The only thing that im not so fgond of is the fact you will probabbly have little actual interaction with the players aside from it trying to kill us or others. Great concept but is a multi collaboration roleplay designed to generally coexist with the other players? Sure being a constant threat in the shadows is pretty badass but after a while it would just get tedious no? Plus the gm would have to sidetrack his main story to make way for this lurking beast thing constantly out to kill us (or npc's)

I know im nobody in this discussion and you have every right to ignore my criticism even though your character is one well imagined and pretty damn badass character, having minimal ways to interact with the other players as well as not being able to be seen in public would severely limit your roleplaying abilities.

Its gonna be a tough challenge, i know it would be for me. That being said, i like the character too much to say no :) but if you think your up for the challenge and GM's give the ok. You got my vote :)

[RedNightHunter]

Hey sorry for the bad post I am on my phone and it is being a bitch. I wanted to get the post out so y'all new I was alive. I will fix and lengthen it at least another paragraph if not more.[@Wraitheblade]

[Doc Doctor]

@The Grey Dust

I can work in some history for the last two-thousand years.
And a tank? I said it weighed as much as a tiger, dude.

Anyways, I get that it's a real nasty, and like a killer beast folks will want it gone. Thing is, it's a personal enemy. It would pick on one character at a time, making itself their personal nemesis. I won't say kill them, because honestly, it's not as powerful as you think. It can be a real nightmare for someone that has no tactical sense, but with a little elbow grease and the right kind of offence, it can be beaten by a single character.

Case in point, its latest fight in the Arena. Take a gander. I'd say it would have a fair bit of trouble taking on more than one strong vampire at a time.
By the way, this is a good chance to read the book after looking at the cover. I'll include some of its other matches after the one it died in, so you can get a real taste for its actual strength and personality.

Note how in The Soil of a Man's Heart, I gave Edrik a very good warning of the looming threat so that he could prepare his character for round #2 (which he never showed up for, because you know, us Arena types easily forget about unranked matches when a more important roleplay pops up). He had many days to think up a game plan. I like creating an intense story, an experience. Winning the fight isn't a top priority.

@Doc Doctor

That's entirely the point. It seems like a character set best in the arena. How would we interact with it outside of the Moby Dick? Outside of being a common enemy, despite picking off enemies one a time (given that reduced power you would submit by lowering the prodigious spawn rate of its minions) it would still be considered a major threat just due to its presence as a "monsterous" vampire, rather than one that blends into the public. And since It doesn't seem to have a political pull, it currently may be treated as a feral vampire since it has no clear distinction its domain of control. I suspect solider would keep tabs on it, although only focus on it should it act out since it would seem to be a rather horrific public terror.

I mean to use the word tank not in the sense of the physical tank, but the metaphysical concept, as in a "bulwark." Sorry for the confusion. That being said it is physically monstrous enough to encourage extermination. Maybe even for sport. That being said, what do you plan to do with the character? Since you have yet to answer this main question posed since there are few logical interactions I can see happening.

As Roman mentioned, this thread is about the fine line of coexistence between the characters and factions. Failure to maintain the brinksmanship would result in total war breaking out and I'm not sure if Wraith wants a complete and total war... Yet. Certainly we'd eventually have the climatic showdown I'm sure but until then most of the thread can build tension with a few skirmishes and interactions here and there until we reach a natural breaking point.

Wraith will throw in some GM opinions. I'm primarily worried about adequate interactions, plot building and reasonable balancing.

@The Grey Dust

[BurningCold]

Just my two cents here:

I uhm... don't really like the idea of having some super powerful eldritch horror creature with no real weakness to balance out it's overpowered abilities just "lurking" in the shadows. It's not even an accepted race, so if it ends up joining the RP whats stopping everyone from making their own "primeval" vampire god-monster hellbent on ruining some guy's day? Or would the current subject be the only one allowed because having a ton of disgusting evil monsters running rampant would derail the RP? If so, where's the fairness? Why should Doctor's overpowered animal be the only one around? This would be an interesting concept if utilized by a GM to drive the plot further down the line, but just letting one player have complete dominion over all of the other characters with an arguably lazy creation that doesn't even bother detailing it's history in the slightest? Letting that thing into the RP in it's current state would be an affront to everything this RP is about anyways; The interactions between the players and various factions.

[Kurai Assassin]

@BurningCold

I have to agree with this guy ^^^ purely on the basis that the last time we let something even slightly OP slide, HIVE nuked Seattle, Adam let VAMPIRE ZOMBIES run about. (i may or may not have made an underground organisation that was dope asf, but may have been slightly Op). I personally think it took away from blood compact what it is fundamentally about. Vampire, Humans and werewolves

Edit: I'm going to explain this the best way I know how. WITH SCIENCE. Let's imagine that Vampires SOLDIER and werewolves are three reactants and the RP is the reaction and the final battle or whatever wraith wants to do to Capp this off is the end product. Now let's look at this OP character for a minute, it is essentially a catalyst. You know what a catalyst does? It speeds up the rate of reaction. To put that into context with this. The introduction of this character will make the RP end faster and nobody wants that. So there you have it an awesome explanation. SCIENCE
