I haven't posted here for almost a year... hope you remember me from Seige of Sentinel. Anyways, I'd like yo join Family B, just to be a rebel.

EDIT: I see the webiste for SoS fell into disuse, but I guess that makes sense. Has anyone spoken or heard from Storyteller? Last I heard he was off to enlist.

I would like to be a member of Family A if its possible. The dirty shady dealings of bordellos and gambling is quite appealing to me.

Yea I remember you. Story just talked with me a few days ago. He messed up his leg in training and won't be going to BCT until something like May.

Not a problem. Go ahead and join up.

Immortal, do you mind posting the family history that you have finished, such as A/B?

Once i'm done.

No I'll be going back in early January, I'll be done in March, but then I have other training and stuff to go to. So not much time to give to the timeline, might write a short story or something.

Thinking something along the lines of elaborating on Hammerfell's situation and Haroun along with all the good stuff that comes with it.

Ah that's too bad. Hope everything works out for you. Anyway im leaving today for a trip. I may be back anywhere between the 25th of December to the 3rd of January. I'll have my lap top to work on some things when I have time but the RP will definitely not be up before I get back. Leading people stay in contact here, discuss with one another if you want, get people to join so by the time we write up the OP we can dive right into it all.

All right. In that case, all Family A dudes shoot me a PM. If you like, go ahead and do a speculative character sheet. Be aware, vampires are symbolic of everything people fear and hate. Non-dolls better have the stomach for this!

For a little clarification can someone do a quick summing up of how both families work?

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:49 pm

Darknova and Wooly, where you going to do an anti vampire faction or not, because if so then I'm in.

Well, Immortal hasn't given the green light on that one yet (as far as I know) so right now I don't think there are any solid plans for one. If he decides to put one into play, though, I'm more than up for it. In fact, I was mulling over the possibility of a Knight of the Nine type character, working undercover as a 'doll' in one of the families.

But again, I'm going to wait for the go ahead from Immortal.

well, I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

An anti-vampire faction would bring us up to five if each house is a seperate thing, though. Can we get enough people for five seperate factions in what will likely be primarily a political RP?

No thanks. Not after Queens waltz. Too many factions, too much chaos, to many personal agendas, not enough focus. It gets messy fast when you deviate.

I think maybe if we gain enough steam and have enough dedicated writers in it it could be done later, but at least for the beginning I agree with you. We already have the four families.

For Solidor's reasons, I wouldn't have a major faction like that, but if so, maybe just two RPers doing it.

Yeah I was thinking me you and DarkNova if you all are interested

We will see when IB gets back if he would like for us to do it. If he says no, then oh well. He should be back in some time, so lets just wait it out. Other than that Faldom, that would be a great idea to do something like that; it would be good to just limit it to us though, since most of the primary attention should be on the families.

Just to get a fair sense, who here has read Bram Stoker's original Dracula? Just because the rules for vampires in that are almost identical (just a lot more detailed) to the Cyrodiil vampires from Oblivion. Either way I reccomend it if you haven't, but just to get a sense of how one of the greatest horror novels of all time was written and how, for the type of tone this seems to be using, vampires should be written.

I have it, but I haven't finished it. So should I base my character on his "rules"?

I wouldn't say so, but he would be a good source of inspiration for vampire characters, I'd also reccomend reading any mob books if possible because, well, this all reeks of different rackets (in a good way).

I'm for the first idea. With good management, bloodshed on a large scale can be limited, and through character sheet screening, the "zomg vampires!!111!11" people can be kept out. The main reason I love the firsti dea is because it's new, for one thing, and also I love entirely politicaly based RPs, especially ones like this.

I doubt we can get enough people. Right now I just want to focus on getting enough people for the 4 primary factions. I don't need a whole roster but at least 2 or 3 people for each.

Exactly.

That dumb Irishman made Dracula a Szeckler! (No offense Solidor

)

The vampire "rules" are more like etiquette as opposed to super natural rules vampires must follow. A sort of guide for keeping the RP from falling into a mass brawl fest.

Not really unless you want to.

That's good.

Just an update for everyone. My vacation will run to it's latest until the 14th or 15th.

I just figure that since Dracula was symbolic of Victorian England's distrust of foreigners and repressed psychosixual violent urges, he was written more monstrously because all Stoker had to do was look within. So, my fellow vampire writers, I don't want to hear a straight answer, I just want to see it in your characters:

What are you afraid of?

/thinly disguised bump

This is gonna be great.

Money's on #1.

First one. I love "Sophisticated" Vampires, and I believe that such subtle political RP's usually work better than those with pure action. A am awaiting a full-blown Sign-up thread.
