"Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!"


These words will be the last you are the hear as a human, for once one is Marked, you have begun the path to becoming a fully fledged Vampyre. Normally, this path is not an easy one. Death may lay behind any corner for any Fledgling Vampyre, should your body reject the Change and have you choking to death in your own blood. However, for this group of Fledglings, life has just become even more fraught with danger. They just don't know it yet...





First thing I'd like to outline - simply in the attempt to get a wider circle of interest in the roleplay - is that knowledge of the books are not necessary. This RP will be in an alternate universe to Zoe and the Gang, so the events of the books have not and will not take place. Therefore you can come here and join without any prior knowledge, as anything necessary for you to know will be explained here in the OOC, or even while roleplaying.






About Vampyres:
Quite simply, this is a roleplay about Vampyres. However, they're not your regular old Nos Feratu's - teenagers undergo a biological and chemical change in their bodies that begins a process known as the Change. So, not biting and infecting people. Symptoms of the Change are simple - the teenager begins to feel sick, just the general effects of a really bad flu. Until they get Marked by a Vampyre. The words (Seen above) Are spoken, you fall unconscious, and wake up with the outline of a sapphire crescent moon on your forehead. And therein lies your (roughly) four year journey to completing the Change.

Once you're among adult Vamps (At the House of Night - the school which you have to go to or you'll die); the illness disappears, and you are among your kin. You don't drink blood and grow fangs, sunlight doesn't burn you (Just mildly irritates your eyes - hence why the school day begins at 9PM, and not 9AM), and you don't develop an allergy to garlic. In fact, the only negative thing about the Change is that your body can reject it at any point between being Marked, and completing the Change. Which causes a rather bloody death.

To try and avoid this, Fledglings are kept in peak physical form, and fed healthy diets. Fast Food is discouraged, along with any other activity that may lessen your chances to making it to immortality.




Religion:
Vampyres are born from the Greek Goddess Nyx, and as such, they worship her humbly. She is seen as a Mother, a Teacher, and above all, a very real Goddess. As such, it's not very common to see Vampyres worship Gods outside of Nyx; although hardly discouraged in the school. Every Full Moon a ritual is done in her honour, with a Temple, candles, oil burners, blessings, poems, the whole sha-bang. In addition to Nyx, the five elements are seen to be quite revered; Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.

A High Priestess for every House of Night is also elected, to take charge of these rituals and to serve the Goddess. As for the Vampyre High Council (Vampyre's version of Parliament), a High Priestess is also elected - this makes her essentially the High Priestess of all Vampyres worldwide. The Council is located in San Clemente Island, Venice.




Affinities:
Some Fledglings may even develop powers, which are known as an Affinity - a power gifted by the Goddess. These powers can be latent (Such as being particularly good with animals), or they can form a far more powerful effect. These Affinities are not exactly considered to be rare, but it is an honour to be gifted one. As for having more than one, it is an uncommon occurrence, and those gifted with more than a single power are considerably lucky.



Familiars:
Upon arriving at the House of Night, one thing will be immediately obvious to you: Cats. Cats are freakin' everywhere. As such, cats and Vampyres go very well together, and it's only a matter of time before one chooses you. And that's right - the cat chooses the owner, not the other way round. It is considered very uncommon to have a Familiar that is not some form of Feline.

@MiddleEarthRoze Her backstory is kind of crazy, so let me know if I need to change it or not.

@Smystar99

The backstory is great, but you'll need to add a paragraph for her personality. Also, the years are going to be from "1st year - 4th Year", as opposed to the American "Formers" type. Apologies - I should have mentioned that in the OOC. Originally, I was going to have all of the character start off as First-Years, but I'm re-thinking it now. What's your opinion? All First-years, or spread out?

@MiddleEarthRoze I`ll get it edited soon, been busy with life ^^

As for them all being first years or not I think they should be spread out, although I think there should be a rule to that. The people who have read or are reading the books have more knowledge on how the grades should react and stuff. So maybe people new to the series/idea could start off as first years, that way they can learn the information as the roleplay goes on. It`s just an idea though to maybe make things run smoother. It`s totally up to you~

That's an awesome idea, actually. And don't worry too much about rushing to finish - I know I still need to add things to the OOC so you can all actually finish your CS's properly, so there's no time limit. XD

Alright! The OOC has been fully updated, with all necessary information on there.

@Smystar99

Although I do like your idea, I have decided to have all characters as First Years. Simply so each of them can have class and move through the years with one another - I couldn't have Third Years learning the same things as First years while still interacting in the same class. However, that's why I've put more lenient ages on the character sheets.

@luclovers

If you could take a look through the updated version of the OOC and revise your CS too, that would be great. Once everyone's character's are done, we can begin!

Also, your personality, picture, and backstory have yet to be seen. Although I'm happy keeping aspects of your background a secret (Although there will have to be a viable reason behind it) I'll still want some basic details in there for everyone else.

@Katastrophe@Violentviolet

You guys still interested? We still need the numbers. :)

Yeah, sometimes that happens. Oh, and before I forget, if you could touch up the formatting on your CS too, that'd be great. Whenever you find the time, that is - the backstory and whatnot takes precedent. :D

I'll join. I read the books a long time ago, so long ago I really can't remember much aside from the basic premise. :D So it might be good to treat me as if I know nothing.

Not to worry - as mentioned, knowledge of the canon-verse isn't necessary. Good to have you on board, Mr. Stark. :D

I like him! Just a few things that need smoothing out:
Sexuality - Normally the (Insert preference here)Sexual and (Insert preference here)Romantic are two different things, so is he Asexual and Panromantic? Or undecided? It's not that big of a deal, I'm just a wee bit confused is all.

Personality - Going to need at least a paragraph below the traits to describe him. I did only just add that to the requirements though, so entirely my fault. :P

Backstory - Short and sweet, which is great. Just to clarify one thing, as it's not stated very clearly when mentioned - when a person is Marked, they need to get to the Academy as soon as possible, or they will definitely die. It's written as if the topic was complained about for a while, but Amadeus would have to get to the House of Night in like... three days, tops. If you could also say how long he's been at the House of Night, that would be awesome too. Maximum is 6 months, but feel free to have him as a newbie if you want. :)

Other than that, he appears to be quite the awesome character! Oh, and if you want to add more likes, dislikes, habits, etc, feel free. It's an unlimited list. XD

He's Asexual and Demi-Romantic.
A type of grey-romantic who only experiences romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection beforehand. Demiromantics do not experience primary romantic attraction, but they are capable of secondary romantic attraction. The sexual counterpart to demiromantic is demisexual. Demiromantic people may also prefix a gender orientation to the label, as in "Demi-heteroromantic".
Demi-Romantic
Basically he can feel the romantic attachment but no sexual desire.

Hope that clears things up for you. I'll also add in the attracted gender to, to further clear things up.

Fair enough. I'll get on it. Added it on in.

I'll edit that part then. I wasn't sure about the whole "illness" thing and the internet wasn't very specific either. Lol. Edited.

Yeah, the sources are actually pretty bad when it comes to HoN. I keep having to flip through the books to double-check stuff, haha.

Well, that's all perfect, and you can move him on over to the Characters tab! I greatly look forward to roleplaying with you. :D
