Reawakening OOC

[pudding]

Backstory

Vampires. These creatures of legend have existed for ages, watching the rise and fall of many other species. In their prime, they ruled over the Earth, using it as a personal playground to fight one another. However, this time has come and pass and eventually, vampires came to realize their immense power damaged the planet they lived on. Realizing their behavior was unacceptable and would doom their species, they decided unanimously to step back from view, allowing the Earth to recover. The remaining vampires retreated to a distant island and used their power to shroud it from view so none could disturb them.

And then, they slept.

Time passed and humans appeared, rising to power. The mark the vampires left on the world never truly vanished and they became creatures of legend. Thousands of years went by and the legends too warped and twisted, like most do. But then, sometime in the early twentieth century, the vampires began to wake up.

Finding these new humans utterly fascinating and remembering the mistakes of their past, the few awakened vampires reacted with caution. Slipping out of their home while the others continued to sleep, they explored the strange world the humans had created. But mistakes were made and the three vampires never returned.

When the rest awoke, the missing vampires did not escape their notice. Cries of sorrow and outrage rose up from the remaining group. Some demanded blood for the blood lost, others insisted it wasn’t fair to fault humans for their actions. In the end, they agreed that using their own abilities to attack humans was not fair. Keeping their home island concealed, they decided to slowly try to reincorporate themselves into society. It would be slow learning but in time, hopefully they could master everything there is to know about humans and what they had created.

 

Plot

Unknown to the vampires, the three who awoke early never died. When their presence became known to humans, they were taken into custody. Despite their claims of peace, humans feared these greatly powerful creatures and decided if more would eventually awake, they had to be prepared. In secret, they began to study these three vampires, creating human-vampire Chimeras. These Chimeras would become the front-liners of the war against Vampires and are specifically designed to hunt them down and destroy them. While not as strong as vampires, they work in teams and will sniff out and hunt down these monsters before they themselves are destroyed.

About the species

Vampires Forget basically everything you know about vampires. These creatures are identical to humans physically, emotionally and mentally. However, they each possess a special ability unique to their person. These abilities can include something as basic as being faster than any other vampire, or being able to disappear from sight or being able to brainwash humans. Early fighting among their race means the current population is limited with possibly only fifty survivors left. Thanks to their near-immortal lifespans, they rarely reproduce. Basic vampire abilities include heightened speed, awareness, senses and strength. Vampires require more food than humans do and must consume a great deal more after using their ability to regain their energy. No vampire can swim and will sink immediately if placed in water. Vampires are nocturnal creatures so while they can be awake during the day, their eyesight is actually poorer than humans in harsh light. Vampires do drink blood, however it is not limited to humans and in older times, they were known for drinking from fellow vampires as well. Most vampires can go several weeks without feeding as long as they do not overexert themselves or use their abilities.

 

Chimeras These humans have undergone experiment to become more like vampires. As a result, they have gained similar abilities to vampires, including having a unique ability. Compared to humans, they are much more powerful but are weaker than vampires on a whole. This is compensated for by having chimeras work in groups of two to five. Working directly for a special organization, they are not permitted to reveal their presence to normal humans unless such a person has come in contact with a vampire and must be killed to prevent the public from learning about their presence.

Reserved for characters

Pudding

Name: Lunuas

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Vampire

Sexuality: Asexual (Panromantic)

Personality: Lunuas is a young and optimistic vampire, looking out for the future of his kind. Still obviously a child, he is very trusting of others at first but is much harder when it comes to forgiveness. Strictly speaking, Lunuas is probably as pacifistic as a vampire can ever reasonably get and will go out of his way to avoid hurting others and avoid injury to others if he can. It’s in his nature to defend the underdogs of the world and he tends to have very firm morals about the actions he and others take. Of course, that being said, Lunuas’s morals are based upon a species that fought one another for sport and drank blood for nourishment so they are clearly not going to be the same as human's might.

History: Lunuas is younger compared to many surviving vampires, having been born only a few hundred years before vampires collectively decided to slumber. In this time, he was born seeing the damage that his kind had done to the world and was heavily influenced by it. This led him to be one of the front-runners of the sleeping movement, being one of the heaviest advocates for allowing the planet to heal and stepping back from the light. His time prior to the Sleep was characterized by being heavily active in trying to stop fighting between his own kind and pushing towards more peaceful movements.

Since waking up, Lunuas has been firmly rooting in preventing vampires from taking hold of the world again. He is a heavy advocator for remaining on their island home, not trusting humans enough to accept them. However, he has pushed more towards understanding humans to avoid conflict between their races. While he doesn’t exactly look down on humans, he does find them utterly fascinating and tends to regard them not as equals, but as one might regard a dog.

Looks: Lunuas has darker skin and blue eyes. While tall, he is still clearly young compared to other vampires and finds himself shorter than adults, though certainly not for long as he should grow taller in the next few hundred years. Lunuas has slightly long, wavy hair that is primarily dark brown, though a few streaks of it above his left eye are blond. Since vampires never really bothered with clothing design, Lunuas made his own, sticking with usually very form-fitting outfits since anything excess gets in the way of him moving around.

Weapon: Lunuas rarely uses weapons at all but does have two curved daggers he uses when the going gets tough.

Ability: Lunuas has an unusual ability he dubbed blink. This ability allows him to move from one location to another as fast as a person can blink. This ability can essentially be dubbed teleportation, however, he cannot move through solid objects and anything attached to his person is brought along for the ride (Meaning he can’t teleport out of any kind of bindings)

Shadow_Claw

Name: Cyrus Lanham

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Species: human

Sexuality: Asexual Aromantic

Personality: (Optional)

History: Cyrus is in a set of identical twins, of which he was the eldest. At a young age, he was the less dominant twin and followed his brother Matthew about happily. They were together, after all. Matthew kept bullies at bay(as Cyrus wasn't terribly social and was an easy target) and his twin kept him company. He wasn't as average and shy as he let off, however. Cyrus was always a little...odd. It was mostly harmless, at first. Cyrus was the sort of boy who caught grasshoppers to rip their wings off. He would catch and trap frogs so birds could kill them. And as he got older, it got worse. He learned how to fight, and would antagonize people just to have an excuse to hurt someone. As the brothers grew older, he got into experiential medicine. Matthew wasn't exactly sure why, but this whole prospect bothered him. Wanting to keep a close eye on his seemingly harmless brother, Matt began to take courses in both medicine and chemistry, but opted for a profession in the latter. As Matt drifted further away, Cyrus only seemed to pull him back in. He had a project, he said. One that would make them both famous. But Matt didn't want anything of the sort. He wanted room to breathe from his twin. (See Matt's history for the rest))

Looks: Cyrus is of average height, but is probably a little skinnier than he should be. He has pale white skin which is dotted with freckles, and auburn hair that falls to about his ears. He has scars from his many street fights, but most are covered by the usual dress shirt and slacks he wears.

Weapon: Cyrus usually carries around a butterfly knife and two pistols.

Ability: lol no

Other:

 

Name: Matthew Lanham

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Species: human

Sexuality: BiSexual Panromantic

Personality:

History: Matt's young past is regarded now with resentment. As is most of his life. This great project one Cyrus kept trying to drag him into, ended up being his downfall. Due to a series of unfortunate events, Matthew was blinded by his brother (and project: CHIMERA. But mainly Cyrus.)

Ability:

Other:

 

Name: Harriet (Harri) Moore (codename: Frenzy)

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Species: Chimera

Sexuality: Pansexual, panromantic

Personality: Harriet is a generally kind person, known for being a social butterfly in her groups of friends. She does, however, have a jealous streak. She has been known to be terribly jealous with friends and partners and is terribly weak to rejection because of this.

History: Harri grew up in a lower middle-class family with one other sibling. They were comfortable enough to get by, but she was still a hard worker. She flitted about in her majors, focused more on partying than schoolwork. When offered a job as a research assistant, she unknowingly accepted the role of a test subject.

Looks: Harriet is tall and plump, with a moderate bust and thick hips. Her skin is a warm mocha and her black hair is naturally thick and curly. Her eyes are doe brown, making her round face look even more pleasant and likable.

Weapon: Due to project: CHIMERA's protocols, Harri is forced to carry a weapon. She keeps a taser on her, and, when needed, a small handgun. A can of MACE doesn't hurt anything either.

Ability: Can amplify negative emotions in others.

Toxic_remedy

Name: Malvolia meaning: ill-will

Age: frozen state: 23 real age: she's old, super old most could consider her as an elder in most parts, as she has a high rep with fellow vamps

Species: Vampire

Sexuality: bisexual

Personality: poise as well as silently reckless, she is cunning and is slow to trust other, Malvolia is a frozen rager, her anger is calm and collected. She will guard her emotions like a dragon to its treasure (see what I did there??)for she knows how easy it is to read them, she hardly ever snaps and is a master at deception and persuasion. We'll all of this she is deathly loyal, and would rather die then shame her fellow vampires, so in other words if your a vampire you have already gained a point in her book.

But beware, the slender dark hair female likes to play with her prey

 

History: she never really agreed with the other vampire with the "hibernation" she had called it , the earth was her realm, The idea of tunnelling down like rats made her inch, but of course she wouldn't question her race. Only please them with out putting up a fuss and listening

While like said most vampires don't have children, at the young age of 28093 she became pregnant, when she was kind open hearted and enjoyed small talk. Until her baby boy was killed in a jungle fire

From then on she became a living breathing machine. The heart break of her lost cause her till kill the father, who at the time was in charge of watching there son. Blood drips from her fangs, and mercy locked tight were no one can reach inside her.

 

Looks: ebony white skin, due to her lack of light on the island, and long dark brown dreads that fall past her protruding rib cage, clover green eyes, trying desperately to come off as empty set together by enormous thick eye lashes that brush against hollow checks and a oval face, a witch bone tribal piercing cuts through the thin white skin of her nose. She's of average height maybe a tad shorter. Often seen wearing little clothing among her body, (read abilities)

Weapon: --- she loves to battle up close and with silenced weapons

 

Ability: emotion sense: she can sense emotions and when one particular emotion is stronger then one other she can project said emotion on her victems

[pudding]

Yeah, try to avoid elemental manipulations for this RP. Abilities should pretty much be a 'one and done' things like hypnosis or invisibility or growing claws. It shouldn't be things like hypnosis and causing nightmares

 

Generally speaking, any ability that can immediately kill other characters is a no-no. Vampires should be strong but they aren't invincible.

 

As for the age thing, Vampires first began sleeping 50,000 years ago. Since they were asleep, this time doesn't really factor into their age. I've realized that the age idea is pretty weird for vampires in the first place and, to avoid really long numbers, just use relative terms for how old your vampire is compared to others and then their physical age.

Accepted! Also, we need some Chimeras

 

 

This is going to be the OOC so we can talk about things. We need at least one Chimera team before we can start

 

 

[shadow_claw]

Lol I could make a Chimera too

[pudding]

Okay!

 

Chimeras also need code names. I've decided it right now because code names make everything cooler and more secretive.

 

[shadow_claw]

Omg codenames. So much fun.

Hell yeah I love her already

 

Also, Chimeras should always, when possible, capture a vampire first. They need more live DNA to make more Chimeras, after all. But if a vampire is too big of a threat, they are required to kill it to avoid casualties.

[shadow_claw]

Oh, okay! That makes sense.

 

I'm excited for this to start!

[pudding]

Uh oh...I'm already shipping Lunuas with Cyrus.

 

As soon as Toxic puts up her Chimera, we can go ahead and start! Vampires are going to be introduced as new to the human things so remember, they should barely know anything about modern technology and the like. They do, however, know how to speak English because vampires have Omnilingualism.

[Toxic_remedy]

Name: Ambrose anarty - code name - arty

Age: 29

Gender:male

Species: chimera

Sexuality: straight as a ruler (no not those bendy ones *eye roll*)

Personality: self absorbed, but thoughtful. He never thinks before he speaks. for he likes to think he is above human standards, he is logical more then creative and isn't positive nor negative. Every thing he thinks or says is vomit from so one or another text book. vengeful he is, and as for his cockiness, it seems to have replaced that wonder of a brain

 

History:top in his class and highest marks in the state things were looking high for Ambrose (or back then know as eddie) , he studied like an addicted an never once letting petty things like a social life cloud his thoughts on his education, but despite eddies successful future just around the Corner it all started to fall apart.

 

But like all school nerds he had a gang of high school elders that never treated him like the human he once was. They would beat on him. you know the swirleys and the shoved into a locker till sun rise, or the classic; one against the whole footie team on dodge ball

 

Until one day poor Eddie had had enough. With a lone bottle and 24 bright pink pills he was ready to face his fate. But when he woke up, not a scratch on his skin and a twinkle in his eye. He wasn't in the hospital, nor was he dead. Instead he was found in an all glass room with what his IQ could understand, a viewing room. Like the one test subjects were placed in. And Who better a test subject then someone thought to be dead

 

It wasn't wear he was or his lack of clothing that confused him but the body he now called his own

12 years later Eddie became Ambrose and life moved on

 

Looks: super fit, and a jaw bone to cut steel, silver haunting eyes and think set of eye brows, slight scruff along his jaw and muscles wrapped around every tendon and bone is his body, he's tall, 6'7" and hands the size of basket balls, his hair is a murky brown his skin a tan olive

Nothing like nerdy Eddie

 

Weapon: he loves his axe, and while carrying it many people like to think he looks like a lumber jack, his issued axe he carries is often hidden along his belt and tucked into his shirt

And he need nothing else but that and his bear hands

Ability: super strength

Is Ambrose his codename? Because he needs one of those.

 

Other than that it's okay but you've got some small mistakes with spelling and punctuation.

[Toxic_remedy]

I'll fix what I can

 

(It's 2am and dyslexia is a pain in the bum but I'll do my best)

 

If I disappear

I means my brain has betrayed me and I have fallen asleep

[pudding]

I'ma bit curious why his code name is part of his actual name but I'll allow it.

 

I'm tired and about to go to sleep so we'll begin in the morning. This thread will stay open so if anyone else wants to join, don't think we're shutting down just yet!

[shadow_claw]

Hello :3

 

It is afternoon. Do you want to begin?

[pudding]

The Thread is OPEN

[pudding]

Shadow, did you want me to help you with Matt's story or do you want to carry it out on your own?

[shadow_claw]

You're welcome to help if you want! :3

[MrSpyro]

Question: Have chimeras been around long enough for them to have kids that are at least teenagers? If so, would they inherit their parents' powers?

[pudding]

Alright, you want me to control the vampire? I still ship Cyrus and Lunuas

 

If Chimeras do ultimately have children, their children would also be Chimeras. I placed the first vampires waking up around 10 years prior to the events of the story but if you really wanted to (And because it's early on), I could push that time back a bit. The oldest possible age I'm comfortable with a Chimera kid being would be 16, though.

Edited September 30, 2015 by pudding

[shadow_claw]

Sure, go right ahead. :3

[MrSpyro]

Okay. I was planning on making him 13-wish anyways, but now that I think about it, one more question: would the child of a Chimera inherit one of their parents' powers (if both parents are Chimeras) or would they have a power unique to them?
