The 'apocalypse.'
It happened in 2012, like everyone thought it would. It just wasn't what we were expecting. There were no freak earthquakes, no flash floods that wiped away whole cities. It first started out with the end of Global Warming. The icecaps regained their claim on the arctic poles and soon the theory of Global Cooling was brought into play. During June of 2012, the highest recorded temperature near the equator was just above freezing. In November people started disappearing. Just a couple from each region, but it was happening all over the world.
Then in December, they came. The vampires. People were warned to stay inside at night, but few people listened. They were too curious, they wanted to see the fabled creatures of their nightmares. Few have lived to tell the tale. These weren't your sparkly vampires that breathed teen angst, get real, these were scary beasts. Their fingernails were elongated into razor sharp claws. Instead of the cliche two canine fangs, these guys sported a mouthful of fangs. Their eyes were pure white, with no pupil in sight (Look! I rhymed.) They can move faster than the untrained eye can follow, they are stronger than the human brain can comprehend.
They treated us like prey, but then again they were the superior beings. They feasted on our blood, attacking those who were stupid enough to venture out into the night. If you were lucky, they would kill you quickly. If you weren't... Then let's just say that I'd feel really bad for you. Being turned would be the worst though, forced to drink the sludge-like blood that runs through the veins of a vampire. I shudder just imagining it.
--
The year is 2162, a hundred a fifty years after the rising of the vampires. Us humans have figured out by now that the vampires can't step out into the sun, else they get vaporized. We have built large citadels, fortified with ten foot thick walls made out of reinforced concrete. Large spotlights shine down on the surrounding area during the night, slowing down and potentially stopping any vampiric advances. Some people hunt the creatures during the day, but it's dangerous and most of the time the hunters don't return.
What will you do against these cursed creatures? Are you just going to sit in the protection of the citadel and waste away? Or are you going to fight? It's your choice.
-Rules Try and be mature guys.. seriously. Proper Grammar please! Put quotation marks around speech. Add a rhyme at the bottom of your CS if you read the rules. Try to keep it PG, but a little bit over the top is okay. If you're a vampire, try to keep it evil, m'kay?

| (How long does it normally take for someone to be transformed into a vampire? I was sort of thinking about a character that's slowly transforming into one against their will.) |

| (I would think that it depends on the amount of blood they drank. If it was a minimal amount then the change could take quite some time.. I could guess around possibly six months if it was VERY little. And that'd be a cool character) |

| (So the more they take, the longer the transformation? And are there any tell-tale symptoms of becoming a vampire? You know, the ones you can sometimes spot before they become one?) |

| (No, the less they take the longer the transformation. If given a lot of vampire blood, the character would turn almost immediately. Yes, there are. The person would experience bloodlust, increase in strength and agility, and being sunburned much easier. Other people might notice the fingernails turning into claws if let be, and the teeth would slowly elongate into fangs. Pupils would slowly get lighter and lighter until they cease to exist.) |
