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.

[Walter Kemp] He gave a compassionate look, "Turnings aren't easy for most, did your maker stick around to help you? Or were they one of those who just.. Turns mortals for fun." He said with a level tone, but you could see his discomfort rising again. Breaking the slight silence, he spoke up again, plastering on another charismatic smile. "I was 23 when I was turned, which makes me about.. A hundred or so? I haven't really kept track. Anyways, I was friends with Estrid as a human, which.. Is rare to say the least, but I suppose she was different back then. We were both knights, but I fell in battle, and Estrid turned me. I was luckier than most, my maker helped me become strong and helped me make the most of what I had been given.." He began to trail off, before speaking in a much softer tone. "I didn't like what I was becoming, when you're Immortal, you watch everyone you love die. I became jaded and angry at everything, but as I've grown older, I've changed my ways, I've found peace in helping others." He glanced over at Estrid, and gave a sigh. "Some people never find their way out of that rut, and just grow more cynical and jaded, and that's the most dangerous state for a vampire to be in." 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 As much as he hated the topic of his turner, Lothar decided a rightful answer was in order. ".. Somewhat. He mostly just bit me, throttled me a bit and then pestered me a while until I managed to chase him off. Dirty little rodent— I dare him to show his face around here." Lothar grunted, biting his thumb's fingernail almost angrily, like an impulsive habit before sighing and shrugging his shoulders, his brows furrowed. "Though, I suppose I should have seen it coming. My profession isn't the most smiled upon." Lothar hummed, his voice nonchalant, but still burning with a frosty anger. Changing his attention, Lothar listened to Walter's story, his eyes growing a bit wide in amazement at the news that he was a hundred years old. Well, his tale is certainly more noble than mine. Lothar thought, looking at the dirt path as Walter continued, explaining the drastic divide between certain vampires. "I see, then.." Lothar hummed, twirling a lock of his curly brown hair around his gloved finger, of which was still rather dirty. Lothar was.. detached most of the time. Be it from clients or strangers, he had only mere scraps of proper bonding as both a child and an adult. He had no real loved ones to watch wither away and die, but, then again... "Isn't a bit eerie, though? Seeing time pass you by and never age? If I have to be honest, it indeed shook me a bit at first." Lothar thought aloud, returning his gaze to Walter. "At first I worried what others would think of me— but then I remembered what I was— who I still am— and it slowly just began to not matter that much." Lothar spoke, his voice quieter as he looked at his hands this time, rubbing one of his wrists gently. 0 players like this post! Like? |

[Walter Kemp] Understanding dawned on his face for a second, then it was overtaken by a soft sympathy, letting you finish speaking before giving a reply. "It is definitely strange seeing how things change over the years, but at the same time it's almost.. Amazing. I've seen things I would've never even dreamt of seeing as a mortal. And I'm honestly looking forward to what the future holds, how the world changes in another hundred or so. I can only imagine what it's like for Estrid, how the world has changed in 800 years." He said almost wistfully, and gave a soft smile. "I was worried of that too, I already knew what Estrid was when I was turned, but my husband didn't know of her nature.. And then my nature." He darkened again, you almost thought you noticed tears threatening to prick at his eyes, which he quickly blinked away. 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 At the mention of Walter's husband, Lothar couldn't help but blink a bit in surprise. Now— two men being together wasn't too unheard of— shoot, Lothar dabbled in it plenty of times before— but he never imagined he'd meet someone more than likely somewhat similar to him. Knowing this, Lothar figured that maybe, just maybe he had found a place of belonging. Deciding to lighten up the mood, Lothar piped up once more; "Then again, its also almost sad how mortals tend to keep repeating their sins at times. You'd think eventually they'd learn from their mistakes, but no! Just the same old same old with those lot. I almost pity them at times." Lothar chuckled slightly, his voice an in between of a laugh and his usual hum-like tone. Ironicallly enough, Lothar knew more than well enough that the Penn family committed that fatal flaw time and time again as well— he had merely broken the cycle on his own accord. 0 players like this post!

[Walter Kemp] He gave a small chuckle, but that hint of darkness still lingered. He didn't reply and kept on walking, soon heading into the town. It was pretty small and rural, straw thatched rooves, the smell of smoke from hearths, and cobbled streets. The only thing that set it apart from most towns, is the amount of late-night wanderers, one seemed to be a young beautiful woman with long golden locks, pale skin of pure ivory, and no breath seemed to billows out of her mouth as you'd expect. Another lingering person was a tall, severe looking man. He looked in his late 20s, a rough brown beard on his face, and long hair. His face looked grizzled and slightly wrinkled with the stresses of life. He was wearing a tunic with leather fittings, a slightly dapper yet rugged look. you could send no life coming from him either. As Estrid approached, he turned his attention towards her. A small smirk toyed on the man's lips. "Been busy have you?" He inquired playfully, looking at the blood stains on Estrid's dress. "A woman's most beautiful when drenched in the blood of her enemies." He said with a purr. Estrid seemingly ignored the comments, which you could see earnt a frown from the rugged man. "Arthur, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't a matter of urgency. I'm sure even you've noticed the werewolf attacks." She said sharply, which the man, you assumed was Arthur, replied with a smirk. "Always on business.." He sighed. You could see Estrid growing more irritated by the minute. "Don't test my patience, Arthur." She snapped, her voice a low snarl, and her eyes a glowing crimson. You could see that this finally got through to the man, who backed away uncomfortably. 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 Nearing civilization that was composed of cobblestone paths, straw roofs and more rustic architecture, Lothar was slightly surprised to see two new faces enter the scene. One was a tall, scruffy man trying his hardest to court Estrid, and the other a golden-haired maiden. Although he wanted to nod his head politely towards the two, Arthur had made the horrid mistake of trying to flirt with Estrid, who was more than clearly unamused by it. "We already got attacked a few moments prior— not quite in a laughing mood, you see." Lothar offered as gentlemanly as he could put it— it was something akin to a medieval 'oh, shut up already!' without as much as a hint of hotness or irritation. "Quite a few of the nasty mutts, but we sent them running off." Lothar added, deciding to try and get himself affiliated with these strangers— after all, he'd be fighting alongside them if the mutts ever decided to get too bold and attack. Now, if Lothar was trying to fend Arthur off Estrid's coattails was anyone's guess— did Lothar like Estrid? Yes, probably. Did he like Estrid? .. No, not really. Still— something within the fledgling was miffed by Arthur's lack of a more gentlemanly approach to addressing a woman, even if said woman was flecked with blood. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Arthur gave you a glare, another arrogant smirk on his lips. "What's this, Estrid? A new boy toy of yours?" He laughed. "A few fleabitten mutts aren't worth getting yourself worked up over, they're fun prey." Arthur hissed, his eyes glowing crimson in the darkness. You could feel an imposing aura coming from the man, not as strong as Estrid's, but you could tell he was no fledgling. Cold fury roiling in her eyes, Estrid took a step towards the man, she was about eye-height with him, but you could almost see him physically shudder. "Remember your place, I'm still your elder and should be treated as such. Unless you feel brave, I suggest you back down. I gave you immortality.." Her next words were a quiet sneer. "I can take it just as easily." He looked angry, yet also terrified, he gave a sharp hiss. "Fine. What is it you want?" He said uncomfortably, his eyes not daring to reach Estrid's. "As you know, the lycanthropes have been getting more and more prevalent, they've started targeting vampire settlements, we're facing extinction. I'm planning to gather all the remaining vampires to the city of Whitecross, where we can face off against the mutts, instead of letting them pick us off one by one." Arthur spluttered with shock, his eyes growing wide. "That's insanity! Do you really think you can control every single vampire? Who made you queen?" He snarled, and Estrid gave a shockingly bitter laugh. "There's not many of us left to control, you fool. Trust me, if there was another option I'd have chosen it by now. If any of us are to survive this, we need to be united." 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 ⎡ Although it was somewhat easy to intimidate Lothar, something inside of him prompted to give Arthur a somewhat wide, unblinking stare, like a cat trying to challenge another one into a fight. Lothar would never lay his hands on another lady or speak down to one, but as for men? Unless he liked them, he'd treat them however he'd please within limit. He absolutely dared Arthur to do something to him. He usually wasn't always this cocky, but knowing Estrid was around to beat Arthur into place made it all too enticing of an option. Deciding to cut back on his bravado, he spoke once more. "There aren't many other options, you know. It's either join or die, in essence." Lothar spoke nonchalantly. "And correct me if I'm wrong, but Estrid is the eldest vampire known to date— unless you doubt her judgement and experience, I'm positive anyone can assure you she's more than right— We don't have time to bicker and whine, its either suffer death by the mutts, or we get to all live happily after beating those mangy flea-bags into bloodied piles of fur and meat." Lothar concluded smoothly, the younger vampire speaking with an almost cool certainty as he then began looking at his nails, acting as if he hadn't said anything. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Arthur snarled, but you could see him backing down, knowing that he's not only outnumbered, but also fighting a losing battle. He glanced around anxiously. "Fine, I'll tell my people to head to Whitecross, your majesty." He sneered, but you could see Estrid couldn't care less, her point was across and there was no point further discussing it. Estrid then looked towards you, and for a second you thought you could see a hint of respect flash over her. "Maybe there is some hope for you not being a complete burden on this trip." She said with such icy cold monotony you don't really know whether to believe it was an insult or a compliment. But this was again, short lived. "But I can fight my own battles, Fledgling. Learn when to get involved, and when to mind your own business." Her eyes boring into you with their usual sharp glare. "Right, I'll go look for somewhere for us to stay until tomorrow night, be on your guard." The elder vampire commanded, and without waiting for a reply began to walk away. Walter just gave you a half impressed, half scolding look. "Lothar, can I offer you some advice? Don't anger older vampires if you want to survive. What you did there took some guts, for sure, and I'm honestly impressed. But if Estrid wasn't there he would've killed you. Making enemies at your age will come back to bite you later on." His voice was like that of a disappointed father, you could tell he wasn't angry, but more concerned than anything. 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 Seemingly satisfied with the results, he adjusted the collar of his suit, not directly showing his inner triumph. If he had to be honest— Lothar did have a bit of a problem getting too big-headed sometimes. Slaying a werewolf must've did it to him if the immortality didn't. However, his silently smug valor was quelled by Estrid's order, seeming to express some kind of quiet happiness at her admittedly cold 'praise'— if it could even be called that. Closing his eyes like a happy cat, he basked in the frigid elder vampire's kinda-sorta kinda-not really compliment, perking up when Walter then mentioned. Seeing the blonde's scolding glare instantly made Lothar look at his feet sheepishly, toeing the ground like a child that was found with a hand in the cookie jar. "Yes, I understand.." He mumbled, turning back to Arthur and the other unnamed blonde. "Apologizes for my previous demeanor. A bit riled up, 'tis all. I'm Lothar Edgin Penn," He bowed formally, offering a light grin. "Your names are?" He offered, hoping some hospitality would ease the former hostility. 0 players like this post! Like? |

The rugged man gave you a pissed off glare. "Arthur Fairbairns." He spat, his eyes blazing with irritation, but seeing Walter there, he didn't go for an attack. Probably assuming that if anything happened to him, Estrid would tear him apart. The woman walked forward, her movements sleek and cat like, a toying smile on her lips. "Valora Earlse, it's so very nice to have fresh blood in town.." She purred, a languorous smile on her face, it looked enticing.. And dangerous. You could see Walter giving her a sharp glare, unusual for the normally very friendly and calm vampire. She backed off, pouting a little. "Walter, dear.. Always so frigid.." Valora chuckled, her eyes trailing uncomfortably down his body. You could see how hard he was trying to stay polite, but the discomfort was obvious. She then flipped around to you. "What's that old hag doing with such a precious young thing?.." The woman purred, something seemed very wrong with the way she looked at you hungrily, her eyes that before were a gorgeous deep blue, now tinted a deep red.. "I could just eat you up.." Walter was now much closer, his glare on the woman hardened. 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 Figuring Arthur wanted no more to do with him, his attention instantly was turned to Valora. A light grin also graced his features as she gave him a much more flirtatious approach— and he would have liked it, too— had it not been for the fact something about her was.. wrong. So very wrong. Although she was indeed quite attractive, something about her just rubbed Lothar all sorts of the wrong way— not to mention she was seeming to be putting some unwanted attention towards Walter. No matter, though— Lothar would take one for the team and be the subject of her advances— he knew what it was like to have peering eyes hungrily looking at him. He may be somewhat of a degenerate, but he had some standards. "Nice to meet you, miss Valora." Lothar replied coolly, blinking a bit in surprise when she near snapped her direction towards him, Lothar forcing himself not to shiver in slight repulsion. "Ah— madame Estrid was kind enough to include me in on the trip to a much safer settlement." Lothar explained, struggling not to puke in his mouth a little at her last statement. He was quite skilled in hiding disgust and unease since his boundaries more than often were violated half of the time, but.. Something about Valora almost sickened him. He never thought he'd see the day where an escort like him would be repulsed by another being. As pretty as she was, Lothar wanted her as far away from him and Walter as possible. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Valora almost purred, circling you like a predator circles prey. "You must be so tired and sore.." She said with an almost mockingly sympathetic tone. Then she was behind you in a flash, massaging your shoulders firmly, it felt amazing but everything about this screamed danger and repulsion, you felt fangs brush your neck.. Suddenly, Walter wrenched her off of you, with a sharp hiss. "Estrid told me about you.." He snarled, using his body almost as a protective barrier between you and the blonde maiden. "What's wrong with you?" She screeched, her former seductiveness completely gone in a snap.. She looked more like a wild beast, eyes glowing red and fangs extended wickedly. "Estrid told me about you." He snarled, his eyes now also gaining a vermillion hue. The woman laughed sickeningly, but didn't make any moves, her eyes still burning into you hungrily. 0 players like this post! Like? |

「 Lothar Penn ⋄ 」 Lothar's expression broke a bit, the corner of his lips being tugged into a slight grimace as she grabbed him by the shoulders, trying to give him what apparently was a 'massage'. As nice as it admittedly felt, the sheer disgust it caused him made him cringe and swat her hands away, making a soft 'eugh!' sound as he jumped back a bit, Walter coming to his aid as he pryed Valora off him, keeping her at bay. Although he wanted to thank Walter, disgust still had its grip of nausea on him— something about the experience sickened him to his core, but he couldn't quite pin-point just what exactly it was. Not to mention, the woman narrowly tried to bite him— which both terrified and disgusted him even more. "A-Aha— Now, now, how about we all just keep our hands to ourselves, mm?" Lothar offered, his voice quavering a bit at the beginning before he forced himself into composure, putting up the collar of his suit so his neck would now be protected from then on. He'd need a long, cold bath after this... 0 players like this post! Like? |
