However, we are blind to the truth: Vampires are a small threat. The Lich are coming to be far more powerful than most other beings. The first Liches were assumed to be revived witches that were burnt at the stakes during the 1200s. Now, with the undead rising, and the people blind to the fact that vampires aren't weak to just wood, it seems that the United Kingdom and various other countries across Europe shall succumb to utter mass chaos.
The Anglo-Vampire War is suspected to begin in December of 1838, and, if the Anti-Vampire Alliance agrees to assist, the UK might survive it. The Anglo-Vampire war is a 4-way war, between the vampire kingdoms, the UK, the Lich Army, and werewolves. And, now, a vampire lord has put a boundary around the British Isles... stopping anyone from leaving... until he is killed. Thus, he is the main target.
1838. As November comes to an end, winter approaches, as well as a widespread war across Europe between the Vampires and Mortals. There have been more an more reports of Vampires and Witchcraft, as well as other forms of Undead and Magic, including Werewolves, Shades, Voodians, even the Hell Knights of the olden day. This has renewed the old fear of Vampires from the 1200s, and fears of other creatures. People had been so paranoid to the point of burning possible Witches and Vampires at the stakes. A potential war is brewing, coming to be known as the Anglo-Vampire War, nations throughout Europe have began taking sides, there's already an alliance against Vampirism, which includes countries such as the United Kingdoms, France, Russia, and the German Confederation (mainly Prussia and Austria), as well as an alliance known as the Vampiric Kingdoms made up from New Wales (made up from fairly weak, yet quite influential Vampires), Dover Kingdom (with a good seaside location and large amounts of Vampires), and finally, the most powerful, The London Resistance, which hosts the biggest amount of Pure Blooded Vampires, and is thus quite powerful. However, humans (due to past conflicts with Vampires) have disregarded many of the other creatures, such as Werewolf Clans, Shades, Hell Knights, Voodians, etc. Perhaps not all of them want to war with people and hurt them, Shades as a matter of fact, are known for craving Human company. But some, of course, are corrupt or violent, ambitious or war-mongering, and present a large threat to Europe--no--Everywhere!
Sub-Species. Shades-- Creatures, once living, and usually humans. They die in unnatural ways, and are left in the place they died, doomed to stay until they managed to detach themselves from this world. Shades are rather...neutral. They could have been good or bad during their life, and choose either side, or none. Some are mercenaries, in a way, offering advice in turn for help detaching themselves from where they originally died, others will choose either side for moral purposes, or some just avoid it. They usually take form as who they were when they were alive, but transparent and dusky. They can levitate, they have been known to haunt people for the fun of it, and try to talk with other creatures, and they are known to crave company.
Fades are also known as 'faded corpses,' as they range from half skeletons to half zombies, and are some of the most powerful of physical undead, and are commonly raised by the Lich. The true name of the fades is pallor cadaver, meaning fading corpse. Some fades are partially alive, cursed to being half ghost, half man, and have blood flowing through them. These beings are surrounded by a black fog, which goes 12 inches around their skin, and always reaches the ground. Below their stomach, all of them is the ghostly fog. The more powerful a Fade, the more magic power it has and the larger the fog barrier, and their skin or bones are always black, for they are dead beings.
Pure blood vampires are the real vampires, when they feed, it is only to transmit the pathogen and infect others, the only thing that separate them from regular vampires are that they are more resilient to said weaknesses, and have no need to drink blood, unless it is absolutely necessary, for example, regenerating. Purebloods weaken when in the presence of sunlight. - Only Doomlord10k and GenFears have access to this.
Hell Knights are horrific monsters said to have crawled from the deepest pits of hell in order to return to our world, like Lich, Hell Knights are very rare and are normally summoned by extremely powerful Witches or on a rare occasion: a Lich. Hell Knights take on the form of a 15ft long/tall European Dragon with a completely armoured knight attached onto its back with his waist merged into its back; making the two one being. The armour of a Hell Knight is the Hell Knights skin, the Hell Knight no longer bears any of its Human features as its bulky, spiked armour and helmet have completely fused into it. Both the Dragon and Knight's eyes are blood red, the Dragon always possesses tattered wings and an arrow tip tail, the Dragon is more fierce than the average Dragon that lived on Earth. Hell Knights wield heavy, powerful swords while the Dragon it's attached to can exhale a gust of black flames. Hell Knights are said to be warriors who either worked for evil/unholy forces, knights who were never buried or a warrior who died in combat against a Dragon. These creatures have the ability to speak and remember very little from their previous life, the appearance of Hell Knights are unique to each one but they always retain their armour, arrow tip tail and tattered wings. Hell Knights can be female. Hell Knights are normally dark in colour, normally they are shades of: Red, Black, Blue and occasionally Green. Some also wield normal fire as a tactic of attack instead of black flames. Hell Knights devour flesh and have been known to eat those who have summoned them; to summon a Hell Knight requires many souls to sacrifice to the monstrous creature.
Voodians are the results of a horrific attempt at either creating life or bringing back a deceased love. They are created from the corpses or skeletons of dead Humans (normally the body of the dead loved one), a skin is made over the body out of many types of fabric but normally rags; a mask is then placed onto the face. This mask normally resembles the face of a monster in order to scare away intruders when performing the ritual to reanimate it. On some occasions the Witch Doctor or caster of the Ritual will give the slumbering Voodian hair in order to make them more Human like. When the ritual is near an end, the caster says a hymn/spell of some sort to reanimate the Voodian. If the ritual is a success, the dead remains of the flesh under the skin of rags become healthy again and form muscles and only one organ(the Heart), a reptilian like forked tongue is also formed with sharp fangs. However most of the time, Voodians almost never remember their previous lives and may not even be the same soul in the same body. The skeleton of a Voodian also changes and grows to about 7ft to 13ft tall claws also form on their toes and fingers. The mask is glued to their face and glowing predator like eyes shine from the eye holes. Voodians almost never open the mask mouth to speak, they normally only open it in order to eat. These creatures are more athletic than the average Human and may learn the ability to use forms of dark magic however only on a rare occasion; Voodians can also store weapons in their backs. A Voodian's skin is as tough as leather, Voodians are hard to kill but not as hard as a Lich. Some Voodians have that lower half of a Snake instead of legs.
Ancient Vampirism requires a vampire to be 400 years or older.
Anti-Vampire Alliance: UK France German Confederation (Prussia, Austria, etc.) Russia
Vampire hunting tools: Puckle guns Cannon Baker rifles Other muskets, though Bakers are more commonly used by professionals. Bayonets Swords Torches
Vampiric kingdoms: New Wales—Least powerful vampires, but have huge influence over humans. Dover Empire—Takes up all of the Kent area. Dover, Kingsdown, and Deal are the major cities here. This is the biggest threat to pure humanity. Largest amount of vampires. Dover also has major sea power. London Resistance—Most powerful vampires. Most are demi-purebloods, which are like purebloods but not. There are some purebloods.
Organizations Usurpation Act—A clan of Lycanthropes, Fades, and some Liches, who wish to usurp the United Kingdom. Why this is is unknown, but their leader is clearly a great lich... some believe that they wish to take over the UK in order to summon a massive army. Others believe that they'll summon the British isles, creating a giant beast. Many draconians and hell knights are allowed in, but few wish to, as the gloomy society usually executes those who do not please the Lich King, which is easy to do. Voodians are commonly seen fighting wars for this Clan.
Nightfall Inc.–An organization of "Shadow Hunters", whose base resides in London. They deal with anything Supernatural or Paranormal. They do not charge much money, but require a small "Donation" and some information. Nightfall Inc. is secretly composed of special vampires only, Nightfall Inc. has no ties with other organizations and is feared among many creatures. There are only 10 place holders of Nightfall, The Head, 2 Vanguards, 3 Assassins, 3 Sleuths and 1 Information Broker. Rumors say that Nightfall’s head is a fearsome warrior who kills anything "he" regards as bothersome. The Emblem of Nightfall bears two wings within a circle, with a sword in the middle. The metal is all black and even the Government regard Nightfall highly.
Black Shade—A widespread organization consisting of only Shade, with a few Mortal assistants who support them. Shades, being one of the most neutral Spirits, are often caught in between things and find it unfair. While most other creatures have a side or position, they have no official enemies or alliances, but there are many major and minor groups who hunt and dispose of any Supernatural form they see. To be in Black Shade, you need to be a Shade, of couse, but you have to be absolutely neutral with no official favoring over another faction, or at least don't support them. Members of the Black Shade carry a special seal, bearing a crowd of Souls and 'SHADE' printed on the edge of the circle. Show this to any organization and you're left alone, it is law.
The White Crusaders-- An anti-vampire cult whose themes are based off the Paladin knights. They are purely made up of Humans who are baptized before enlisting. The White Crusaders believe in the motto "All creatures not borne of purity are to be destroyed", so they destroy all undead with great prejudice. The White Crusaders wear white robes adorned with gems, they have white moccasins with a dragon pattern and wear white masks shaped like hawks. The weapons of choice the White Crusaders use are Holy Swords from legend, the leader himself is said to be a descendant of King Arthur and wields the Holy Sword Albion. The White Crusaders report to and only the Anti-Vampire Alliance. Their base is in Buckingham Palace, in the white tower.
Harmony's Touch: A Guild of all the races, including supernatural creatures, as well as mortals. Its stronghold is located in Europe, with a plethora of bases scattered across the continent. It was founded three centuries ago by a small group of humans and supernatural creatures who'd been personal friends. They saw the separation and decided to begin a campaign that supported equality, non-rivaling races could join this and try to spread the cause. In some parts, their beliefs are well-perceived. However, overtime a small part of the group began to betray the Guilds' ways, acting as mercenaries and giving tips to either side, in a war, etc, etc, which of course violated the original philosophies of the organization. Once the organization found out what was going on, they had a debate and broke into two groups, one acting as professional mercenaries and the other acting as a peace campaign.
Rules: 1: Basic rules, no godmodding, no metagaming, etc. 2: It's not in the rules is not allowed. 3: Please, no trolling. 4: No 'Always dodging.' 5: GRAMMAR IS REQUIRED! 6: Just because you're undead doesn't mean your invincible, or means that you regenerate from wounds instantly. 7: We're TRYING to have classy Vampires, Lich, etc. Sparkle and you get a warning.
8: Pre-Victorian era or Victorian era clothing, though stick to 1700s and early 1800s. 9: No weapons such as Semi-Auto pistols or Assault rifles. Remember that this is the Victorian Era, so stick with flintlock type muskets, blunderbusses, cutlasses, etc.

Your casual human, with a scar on his left eye and one of his right jaw. His left eye appears to be fog trapped in an eye.

Black leather gloves.
Species: Ancient Pureblood Vampire and Lich. Can change into/out of Lich form, whenever he wishes/needs.

Bio: Little is known about Cassius, but it is known that he knows German, Latin, English, Danish, Italian, Spanish and other languages, plus has served in the Roman army, as well as the English, Prussian, and French armies. It is also known that he is a writer. Rumors say that Cassius arrived in England in 634, and personally knew Saint Cuthbert. It is also rumored that he is related to Julius Caesar. Due to the ancient legend of the Flaming Bloodthirster, people believe that Cassius was born in flames. This, however, is only slightly true. Other: First vampire.

He carries his Baker and its bayonet in a wooden and cloth box, with cloth padded to stop the rifle and bayonet from being damaged. Themes: Oblivion theme and Morrowind theme. Intelligent, and somewhat technical. Cassius has an ancient tablet of stone, predicting his birth of flames. Rude, and sarcastic, but only rude on occasion. |

--CS-- Name: Reina Raffelsia A.ge: 593, looks 10. Gender: Female. Appearance: She has Golden-Blond hair in twin tails reaching the mid back, held up with black ribbons and has bangs covering her right eye. Her Skin is Alabaster white. She has Crimson Red eyes, with a Childlike face and slender body due to a genetic disorder while growing up. She is 4"3, weighing at 55lb. Reina likes to wear maid clothes for no explicable reason, which happens to be the French Maid style. Most of the time, she will have a lollipop in her mouth. Species: Ancient Pureblood Vampire Nationality + Side: Arisocrat French, Founder and Head of Nightfall Inc. Personality: Kind, Mature and Gentle, sometimes plain childish. Is a bit psychopathic when it comes to duties and work. Magic: Form Changing, Blood Manipulation, Dark Magic, and Nightmare distortion. She also has all the basic abilities of a vampire, such as Enchanced Strength, Speed, Stamina and reactions. Bio: Reina Raffelsia is a Pureblood vampire born in Poissy,France, in 1245. Her parents are Alphonse Tepes and Christine Raffelsia, Reina's last name comes from her mother, since her father was a surrogate son.The fortelling of her birth describes that a certain pureblood vampire that will forever appear young will lay waste to all their kin. When Reina reached 22, the clansmen were confused as to why Reina showed no signs of growing, since all Purebloods finish growing at the a.ge of 50, eventually they figured out that Reina was the vampire from the legend and decided to kill her. With determination to live, she immediately fled her home and never returned. Although she looks like a child, she has lived for a long time and has wisdom far beyond her years. She disagrees with the thought of making humans vampires and decided that exterminating the Human-Vampires is the best course of action to control the vampire population since Reina believes in perfect balance of races and thus, Nightfall Inc. was born. Reina is a bit psychopathic when it comes to getting the job done correctly, but neverless is a nice and gentle person....just don't call her Tiny. Other:She is the vampire of legend that kills her own kind for "just" reasons. She carries around a black and white parasol with her, inside it there is a hidden blade, which is used to fight. Character Theme : Judgement Clock Work , Combat theme : Crow's Claw - Broken Phantasm |

Cassius Twenty minutes ago I had been ambushed and captured by 'Nightfall Inc.' I was now in a carriage of theirs, with my equipment on the other side of the carriage's inside. I had been chasing some Resisters when the little girl and her men killed my twelve comrades and took me hostage. Yes, a little girl led them. |

Cassius Now the law held me in a position of defence, and I breath fire around me, and with my strength I break my shackles that hold my feet together, grab my box, and then my scabbard with sword, then kick open one of the flaming doors and jump out of the carriage. I then made sure that my box and scabbard weren't aflame. I was fire-less, as well as my black powder. |
