All you can do is partake in its legacy."[/i] [b]Age:[/b] estimated over 2,000 years old [b]Race:[/b] First Blood Vampire [b]Titles:[/b] The Fanged God, Blood Emperor, Magnate Commander [b]Info:[/b] The all knowing vampiric lord and ruler of the universe. His mythic rise to power is immortalized into The Tepestry of Dracula, the one prime religion. His face is concealed by the famous ivory-gold mask worn in public. Only those in his inner circle know of his true appearance. Dracul is viewed by all as a wise and fierce ruler. He professes love for all who partake in The Retculavi Imperium, his unfathomable kingdom, and pities the unruly who cannot understand his cosmic vision. The core of The Tepestry of Dracula expresses unity under one vision, his vision, which is mired in enigma as of late. No one knows what drove him to rule the universe, or what drives him still. What is left to conquer? The Magnate still sends scout vessels from his Draconis Fleet out into the void beyond, gliding near the expansion lines of the universe.

She played a vital role assisting Maester Frankenstein for Dracula's Ritual of Ascension, his astral pilgrimage into the universe. With Frankenstein's Warp Ring as the power source, her Black Science opened the portal into realms beyond realms, to which Dracula saw past, present, and future throughout the cosmos. Her powers grew as the Coven charted the extra dimensions Witches and Warlocks drew power from. Everything she ever did was in service to The Fanged God, including her defection to the Van Helsing Rebellion. It's believed by those in the know that her betrayal was Magnate Dracul's design. By allowing her to experiment on the Van Helsing terrorists, she created the werewolves, feral weapons who helped win the war against the Gill-Men. She returned to Dracul's inner circle and proved her undying devotion to him by butchering those who plotted his demise. [/hider] [hider=Grand Maester Viktor Frankenstein][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/80/68/4d/80684d60fe904098ffd823310dceec88.jpg[/img] [i]"I'm far too impatient to let evolution run its course."[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 1410 years old [b]Race:[/b] Human; True Flesh [b]Titles:[/b] The God Scientist of Man, The Smart Mind, The Grand Maester, The Architect [b]Info:[/b] The oldest existing Smart Mind who plays an incredible role to Magnate Dracul's legacy. Without Maester Frankenstein, the Magnate's rule would've never happened. It was the Maester who built Dracul's armies that conquered his homeworld, who helped construct the warp ring on earth that enabled his Ritual of Ascension, and it was the Maester who saved his empire from The Violent Urge. There is no question that the Magnate holds Frankenstein with high regard, as he is often sited in The Tepestry of Dracula as the 'Ideal Human' that his people should aspire to. His work in cybernetics and cloning is responsible for a significant portion of the Imperium's population. If Magnate Dracul is considered God, then Frankenstein is his finest angel, one that is worshiped fervently by his Children. [/hider] [hider=Asmond Gaistev][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5f/bf/d0/5fbfd0f05776970ca194bdab029ec498.jpg[/img] [i]"If I can squeeze some use out of you, then you're good in my book."[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 1013 years old [b]Race:[/b] Vampire; Draconis Lineage [b]Titles:[/b] The Red Dragon, High Command of the Bloodhound Elite [b]Info:[/b] A legendary Red Praetorium known as The Red Dragon during the Gill-Men war. He was among the Draconis Fleet that were attacked by the aliens during First Contact on a backwater planet. Asmond and a group of other Praetorium held off the Gill-Men while the fleet evacuated, leaving them behind. He somehow found his way back to a nearby Draconis space station, the only survivor to make it out alive. Asmond rejoined the Praetorium to fight off the Gill-Men, proving his might to Magnate Dracul, who eventually tasked him to run a black ops group now known as The Bloodhound Elite. He shared command with John Talbot, who was second-in-command of the Van Helsing Rebellion at the time. They were hostile to each other at first, but eventually set aside their differences to deal with the Gill-Men. Their role in dismantling the Gill-Men Queen Collective is a legend among the Draconis Fleet. Their partnership proved to be a valuable commodity, one cut short when John Talbot was assassinated by his own Van Helsing. While it's known that Talbot's Pack led the charge against the terrorist, no one was more hellbent on revenge than Asmond. He's since put his battling days behind him, operating at an administrative level for the Bloodhound Elite as a High Command official. [/hider] [hider=John Talbot][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8c/46/cf/8c46cfdad0fc1d9e555918de561652e5.jpg[/img] [i]"Freedom? I once believed humans deserved such a thing. Now I see through the eyes of a wolf, and realize they were better off caged."[/i] [b]Age:[/b] *Deceased at age 63* (2279-2342) [b]Race:[/b] Werewolf; Talbot's Pack [b]Titles:[/b] The Wolf Father [b]Info:[/b] While his life was a short blip on Magnate Dracul's radar, the Blood Emperor had his respect and blessing. Before the Black Science changed him from man to wolf, he was a charismatic leader, who fought against the vampires like Abraham Van Helsing himself. Yet despite his efforts, the Draconis Fleet was too much for a small band of humans. The Witch Kyteler came to him in secret, persuading him with an offer that could turn the fight in their favor. In a moment of desperation, he volunteered himself to her experiments. He was prolonged to exposure from an extra dimension, reshaping his biology into that of a powerful beast. John Talbot led the way and many others followed, giving Birth to the Claw. Vampires had every right to fear Talbot and his pack, who ravaged their colonies like hungry savages. Thank the Gill-Men for uniting Fang and Claw, and thank the ignorant humans who assassinated Talbot for securing their alliance. His legend with Asmond during their mission against the Gill-Men Queen collective is immortalized in the Draconis Fleet, especially among The Silver Howlguard. [/hider] [hider=Matilda Kessler][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9d/55/92/9d5592f3845359f85b32d811c4371085.jpg[/img] [i]"The weak tout strength, but you all shit and piss the same when gutted!"[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 524 years old [b]Race:[/b] Werewolf; Kessler's Pack [b]Titles:[/b] The Battle Maiden of The Silver Howlguard, The Sun Eater [b]Info:[/b] Daughter of famed Raymond Kessler, the pack leader who succeeded Lucas Corvin. Matilda leads The Silver Howlguard as the most deadliest Battle Maiden ever known. She is currently in transition to assume the mantle as pack leader, but is prolonging her succession to remain on the battlefield for as long as possible. She doesn't see herself assuming a political role for her people just yet, and secretly doesn't know if she ever will. Her father, however, is growing old, her mother Elizabeth is dead, and her step sister, Lucretia, is human. Other packs will seek the mantle should she choose to decline, but she fears disgracing her father's legacy and her mother's sacrifice in securing his position. She got the name Sun Eater during the Retculavi campaign for complete universal expansion. An alien civilization known as Druxas, were rock-like creatures that could ignite their outer shell to extreme temperatures. Matilda faced one of their champions in combat and was permanently burned from it. After she killed him, she ripped open his heart and ate its burning organ whole.

There's no other comedy quite like it."[/i] [b]Age:[/b] Unknown [b]Race:[/b] Gill-Men [b]Titles:[/b] The Underwater Duke [b]Info:[/b] Ipildrias is the tenant of both Devonia and the Lagoon underwater cities. He's of the very few Gill-Men that can speak the universal language without a translator. Very smart, witty, and obedient to Magnate Dracul. [/hider] [hider=Abraham Van Helsing][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d2/d4/a0/d2d4a04fc3769a658ca4bd52245d6cec.jpg[/img] [i]"So long as I have air in my lungs, I'll not stop til I drive this stake into Dracula's heart!"[/i] [b]Age:[/b] *Deceased at age of 104* (1864-1968) [b]Race:[/b] First Blood Vampire [b]Titles:[/b] The Devil, The Hero of Human Legend [b]Info:[/b] The Devil Saint of Humans is the one true rival that Magnate Dracul acknowledges as a worthy foe. Abraham was a constant obstacle in Dracul's rise to power on earth. In the Tepestry of Dracula, he is viewed as a mix between Judas and a fallen angel, leaving many to speculate that the two had some sort of partnership at one point in time. Abraham died of old age, and his body is kept somewhere within Dracul's ebony castle. [/hider] [hider=Warlock Giltrino][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/29/eb/5c/29eb5ce778db10b9f8a1301e37c19b83.jpg[/img] [i]"I will be for my people, what Dracul was for his!"[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 19 (accelerated age growth of a middle-aged True Flesh human) [b]Race:[/b] Human; The Unsavory [b]Titles:[/b] None [b]Info:[/b] The Unsavory human was discarded to The Coven of Sanguine to be experimented on, but proved at a short time to be a natural to Black Science. In the tenth year of his life span, he became a talented Warlock and was stationed within the Laboratorium Index on Iephus to assist Maester Frankenstein on a number of experiments. It was here where he discovered The Iron Jackal A.I. within its secured data shell, and after much research, allowed it to possess his body to bring forth Imhotep, The Obsidian Pharaoh. [/hider][/hider] [hr] [hider=READ BEFORE POSTING] -Wow you made it! -In this RP we'll be playing as The Bloodhound Elite. We're sent to find Maester Frankenstein, who will hopefully know how to stop Imhotep's curse from infecting the humans, and overrunning the planet. -What to expect: Violent action and dark drama/comedy. -Please be respectful to your fellow rpers and to me in OOC. Be constructive with criticism. Don't be mean spirited with uncalled for remarks. I'm here to have fun with other players who'd hopefully want to do the same in this wacky place I've created. I'd prefer to deal with jerks in RL, and RL only. -I'll usually move the story along if there's a lull in posting. This means I'll most likely skip over whatever was being established, or potentially conclude it to move the story along (with the approval of whoever is involved) -I'm looking for a group of about 4-5 experienced players. -I'm PST time zone, but my best posting times are usually towards the end of the week. -Discord requirement is pending. It would be ideal to have to coordinate things more smoothly. [/hider] [/center]
