A time where vampire myths are commonly believed, and suspicion of the undead is high.
You reside in the town of Rivercrest, which seems like just another town, but when night falls it becomes far more sinister.

You are a vampire, and now it's time you have to choose whether you'll be swayed by your immortal bloodlust and feast to your undead heart's content, either manipulating your way to the top, using your wits to avoid being caught, isolating from the mortals and only interacting when it's time to feed, or simply slaughtering all those who oppose you. Or, you could try your best to shun who you are, and feed as little as possible, or only on consenting humans. But without feeding, you'll soon begin to find your immortality dwindling.
But, it's not just human hunters you have to worry about, werewolves will stop at nothing to rip you to shreds, if you're not careful, the toxic rays of dawn could soon turn you to mere ashes, or other vampires who find your existence irritating could try to slay you.

The roleplay is currently set in the 12th century.

As a vampire, you have to feed often, or you will begin to weaken. For every couple in-roleplay weeks, you have to feed, if you do not, your stats will drop by one, and your given immortality will soon begin to dwindle. You can kill an npc while feeding, or you can try your best to restrain yourself from completely killing them, or even ask for consent, but however, all of these come with their own consequences.

For example, if you try to ask an NPC and it fails, (An action that takes into consideration the NPCs personality, their relationship with you and your own Charisma stat.) Their suspicion of you will be very high, which will cause other NPCs to begin to shun or distrust you, or even hire mercenaries to hunt you down. The same with killing, if you're caught while feeding or killing, the town's suspicion of you will rise dramatically.

As the roleplay progresses over the irl months, and from how fast the roleplay progresses, the time period will also change, adapting through the centuries. And as your vampire ages, they will also grow stronger and you can choose 2 stats to improve per century.

Vampires in this roleplay will follow quite basic rules, they will turn to ash if exposed to sunlight for more than a couple seconds, they can only be killed by total removal of the head or heart, a weapon through the heart, or complete destruction of the heart or head. A vampire will look like a normal human when not feeding or feeling intense emotions, but their irises will turn red and fangs will grow. Vampires usually have the same abilities, their strength varying from how close they are to the first vampire, so a mortal turned by a vampire that was turned by the first vampire would be far stronger than a vampire turned by another vampire 8 generations from the first vampire.
It also depends on how long it was since the vampire last fed on human blood. But, the traits all vampires have are, immortality, enhanced sight, sense of smell, and hearing, super speed and strength, and enhanced regeneration.
Other powers are possible including telepathy, telekinesis, mind reading, hypnosis, invisibility, pyromancy, and more, although those are extremely rare. They cannot turn into a bat or grow wings.

Cassie shrugged into her jacket, grasping the small clasps together. She opened the door with caution. Something felt wrong. Maybe it was from the killer headache she was now suffering from. She sighed in annoyance and rubbed her temples in pain. "I don't even really remember a thing." She muttered aloud, only bits and pieces of the previous night flung through her head. Stepping outside, she felt the usual urge for blood. Not today... She scowled at herself.

The dim town was just about empty, and the forest seemed to be as dark as ever.

Outside you could see Estrid and Walter talking, the pair of them sharing a serious expression, which was unlike the usual friendly nature of the younger vampire. Apart from that, the night seemed uncannily still and dead.

Walter glanced over to you, giving a small nod before turning back to Estrid, a tight frown on his face.

(It has! I'm definitely still interested in this roleplay, and I have plenty of ideas, but unfortunately if no one is here, it's impossible to continue. ^^)

(Yes, I apologize. I should be more active, and I will be. I just bought a brand new laptop, so I will be on more frequently. I love this roleplay so much and don't want to stop!)

(I love it too! And I'm currently on holiday until Saturday, so if replies are slow that's why. Holidays are where I always brainstorm story ideas, so keep that in mind! ;D)

Cassie tensed, as she saw the tight looks on both of their faces. What could be so troubling to them? Both of them? A slight breeze wafted across the town, and messing her hair up. She sighed and quickly adjusted, pulling away all the extra stray strands of hair.

Curiosity got the better of her, as she pranced over to the two older vampires. "Is something the matter?" She asked causally, judging both of their reactions.

Walter turned to face Cassie, and gave a wary smile. "Estrid just got some bad news. Yesterday morning, a town was.. Destroyed by Werewolves. A settlement inhabited by about 20 vampires, including some of her own prodigy, only one survivor." He said with a shockingly grave tone before Estrid spoke up.

"I know of nearly all vampires that are currently alive. Our numbers are depleting fast." The elder vampire's words were dripping with a cold fury, but shockingly, worry and sorrow also seemed to accompany it. As if on cue, a howl sounded from the woodlands beyond, a sense of dread gripping you.

Shit. Werewolves? Cassie tensed at his words. The Werewolves seemed to be just as strong as Vampires, if not stronger.

Cassie lowered her eyes to the ground. She thought that maybe she could convince the Werewolves to stop their endless bloodshed, but it was her that killed their Alpha. Did she provoke them somehow? Could this be her fault?

Then there was the building hate that arose in her. They killed her kind. There were more Vampires dead, by their hand. People were killed, and injured, because of the Werewolves.

"What are we going to do about it?" She growled out, and curling her fists. She was beyond pissed.

The red haired vampire seemed to tense and untense trying to keep her composure before speaking. Estrid's voice was courtly but commanding, like that of an army general addressing their troops. "We're facing an enemy who's territory and numbers are both unknown. They seem to know where to find us, but we don't know where they are. Our first call should be to gather our numbers. This will end in bloodshed, and we need to be prepared. I know where the majority of our numbers are. Walter, will you join me?"

He looked up, a somewhat torn expression. "I can help you find the others, but I will not fight, not again." He gave a sorry expression, but Estrid seemed to almost look empathetic. "Of course, I wouldn't force you to do anything. Cassandra? You handled that mutt decently the other night, you can come as well if you please."

"I will fight with you." Cassie vowed, placing her hand on her chest. She might not have much experience, but she had enough willpower.

"And the others? Do you know more Vampires?" She asked, slightly perplexed by that sentence. Sure, she knew that there was more of her kind out there, but after a bunch had been murdered in cold blood, was there really that many left?

And Walter, did something happen to him before? Why was he so reluctant to fighting?

Estrid looked you over, a touch of respect in her expression, before it sobered again. "You need to remember, these creatures will show no mercy. We need to rely on our own strength and tactics, we are not sociable creatures, but we have no choice." Her voice was cold and grave, her face a pure blank canvas.

"And, of course I know other vampires, do you think I got to be this old without having contacts all around the world?" She scoffed, but continued speaking. "From what I know, there's approximately 30 vampires left in existence. The fact is, we could be facing entire extinction if this doesn't succeed. In this town alone, you have 5 of those. Counting myself and those present of course."

"I understand." Only 30? Were we sending ourselves to death? Cassie barely held in a shiver. As Estrid said, this could cause extinction to our race, for good. And to a normal person, that was pretty terrifying.

"Alright, however, do you know their exact numbers? And do they know ours?" She questioned, placing her hands on her head and rubbing her temples. "If they don't know how much of us or how little, we could use that to our advantage." Think Cassie, think. They must think there are only a few vampires left, and that is mostly true. If we make it seem like there are only four or five Vampires left, they will do everything in their power to end our race as soon as possible. The drive to finally rid the earth of their Arch Emeniey for centuries will most likely cloud their judgement.

Using that to our advantage, we could use a small group of Vampires and lead the pack into a trap. We could then ambush them from the trees, using stealth to win the battle. However, the possibilities of winning are slim, and even slimmer if Estrid plans to fight them head-on.

"I think I have an idea, I just don't know how we could make it work just yet."


(How exactly are we going to do this? Obviously we don't have to use that idea if you have other plans, but I needed something to write with haha.)

Estrid paced, looking uncomfortably stressed under a thin guise of coldness. "That's our biggest issue. Our kind nearly wiped their kind out a couple hundred years ago, but I have no idea on their numbers. But.. I don't understand how they managed to kill 20 vampires in one night. Even outnumbered, the mutts should be no match, some of my best progeny were in that town."

"Directly going after them would be suicide without knowing their strategies and numbers. As vampires, we are faster, much more precise, and stronger. But, our bodies are still, somewhat human. They have their.. Disgusting animalistic forms, which unfortunately render them more.. Challenging than any human foe."

"We need any ideas we can get." Again, her usually unphased demeanour cracking in an unsettling way, while Walter seemed to be extremely uncomfortable, and with seeing the look in his eyes, Estrid seemed to steel herself, the cold expression washing over her again.
