That said if I ask you to rework something, please do not just 'ghost' me. I am not a tyrant and am open to discussion within reason, together we can likely hash out a compromise. In terms of power levels for this RP, we're looking at something akin to 'strong street-level', for a comparable media look at Marvel's Netflix Series or the majority of characters from the tv series, Heroes. Our characters, while competent and powerful should still be able to be overwhelmed by regular humans.[/i]

[COLOR=SILVER][B]2.[/B][/COLOR] - [i]Please use the provided character sheet but feel free to modify the sheet's colors to suit your needs or your character's theme. Additionally, minor modifications may be made to the placement of the sheet's categories or their contents, however, please do not disregard the character sheet or submit one of your own design. I'd also appreciate it if only completed sheets were posted in the OOC. If you need feedback on an incomplete CS, I would prefer a private message or DM on Discord.[/i]

[COLOR=SILVER][B]3.[/B][/COLOR] - [i]Post when you can, don't make excuses for when you can't. I'd like us to have an open and honest line of communication as Player and GM and if you're not posting because you don't feel like it, I'd rather you tell me that than say you're 'busy' and keep me in anticipation of a post. I'll be keeping in touch and checking in weekly to touch base with anyone who hasn't posted but please be honest with me on the 'why'.[/i]

[COLOR=SILVER][B]4.[/B][/COLOR] - [i]Don't mistake actions and hostilities in the IC as OOC interactions. Drama, rivalry and resentment will happen in a well written IC due to differing character ideologies. This does not mean the writer has any personal beef with you merely that they're developing their character in the same way you are.[/i]

[COLOR=SILVER][B]5.[/B][/COLOR] - [i]The IC will contain mature themes but will not violate any of the Guild's fundamental rules. Therefore while mature language, drug use, and violence are all tolerated, sexually explicit scenes will not be. Writing substance such as 'Smut' is not tolerated in public forum and has no place in the IC.[/i][/INDENT][/INDENT]

Over the past week, several victims have been found completely drain of blood, their throats ripped out. No one wants to voice the first thing that comes to mind, but the whispers at the crime scenes tell the same tale. Many believe a vampire has come to make its home in Santa Celia although the police refuse to take these claims seriously. One man is said to have survived the attack, however the attack has rendered him mute, or at least unwilling to speak. The man now resides in the Murdoch Mental Hospital while the rumors continue to swirl and at the very least a killer is still at large.

Due to this, these homes have become targets to many of the city’s criminals and crime has escalated in the area with little opposition from the city’s corrupt police.

A former CSI with the Santa Celia Police Department, he was disgraced when his insistence that many of the city's more abnormal crimes were actually the cause of the supernatural led to his dismissal from the force.

This book, however, was stolen by[/i] [color=brown]Kayla Foster[/color][i], along with Riley's memories of the event. Desperate to retrieve the book, Riley returned to the original seller who instead gifted the former CSI with a mysterious ring. Now there's no telling who is in more danger, Riley or Kayla?[/I]
