The Fang, vampiric scions of an advanced civilization, rules the stars with an imperial fist. The Claw, a lycanthrope warrior society, ensures the universe remains on bended knee. Their union brought an age old crusade for absolute dominance, but it came at a great cost. Sustenance reserves grew low as civilizations were destroyed by The Draconis Fleet. Vampires and werewolves grew mad from hunger. It was known as The Violent Urge, and it threw the Imperium into chaos. Look now to Iephus, a lone planet which holds the overlord’s most precious resource: Humanity. Grand Maester Viktor Frankenstein shepherds its population for The Fang and Claw’s survival. Thanks to the Evolutionarian’s profound expertise on cloning, and The Witch Coven of Sanguine’s skill with soul siphoning, a constant food source kept the Imperium from eating itself alive.

The fall of one crisis brought forth another. Within the tomes of Grand Maester Frankenstein’s Laboratorium Index, a tainted codex overrode an ambitious Warlock. The Iron Jackal AI, Imhotep, rebooted inside the man’s cybernetically enhanced body. Its Anubis Programming reinitiated itself, birthing The Obsidian Pharaoh. Imhotep began a rapid conversion that effected millions, tainting human flesh to serve his Undaunted Army. The Emerald Necropolis rose between night and day to declare war against the living.

The initial plan was to transfer the humans off world and bombard the blight from orbit, but this couldn’t be done without major consequence. When human cattle was first transported off world long ago, dying as soon as they went beyond Iephus’ gravity well. This problem was never solved, and the only man who could figure out the solution, Grand Maester Frankenstein, was kidnapped by The Obsidian Pharaoh.

Magnate Dracul’s harvest is threatened by the rot of Imhotep, who provokes The Violent Urge and seeks to convert all to his Undaunted army. The Draconis Fleet is called to action. Among them is The Bloodhound Elite, who are ready to prevent the Imperium from atrophy at all costs.

I'm down for this. Definitely unorthodox, but then again that's why I read the whole lore dump in the first place.

@Jarl Coolgruuf Thanks for taking the time to read through it! I swear I was going to keep it simple, but it kinda just snowballed out of control.

I'll probably get the cs out by tomorrow, or as soon as I finish my own character.

Okay... the character sheet info is updated in the tab! I've also added my character to help as an example if needed.

I've also added some key notes about the Bloodhound Elite that should be helpful. It's updated on their section, but for the lazy:



Relations with other player's characters are more than welcomed. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to expand on a shared history with Luther.

This will probably take awhile to gain more interest, but for those that have shown interest and are planning on applying, let me know.

I’m not ghosting out on this, even if it ends up being 2-3 people or even a 1 x 1 lol!

@Skull
Sorry about disappearing, I've had health issues to deal with. As I am still interested in this game, I'll start work on a character, possibly a member of the Index Consortium, and post it as so as I am able.

Yo, this is super cool. I'll try to get a character up soon (likely a Guide of the Maester's children, formerly a Flesh Runner).

I've absorbed as much of the lore as I think I can hold! If you're still taking people on, I have a concept for a Maester's Children Guide (bear with me, I know it looks like I'm trying to do a bit of everything).

I'm thinking something like this: A Kessler's Pack generation Werewolf joined the Coven, was involved with a dimension tear-related accident, was retrieved and practically announced dead, and sent to become a Maester's Child. While not physically imposing like most Werewolves, they still have a tie to Black Sciences and is deeply religious, using mods and tears alike to escalate them into a powerful specialist or support unit to serve in the Bloodhound Elite.

As a Maester's Child, they spend much of their time with the neural network spreading good news.

Something like that.

First, thank you for taking the time to read the lore. Secondly, I love your idea a lot.

Very awesome depth to this character's background. I love the fact that they'd be deeply religious (in devotion to Magnate Dracul) as they were essentially salvaged from a dimensional tear and perhaps had an outer body experience that resonated similarly to Dracul's Ritual of Ascension (His doctor strange trip through the universe and all the extra dimensions in between). Helping spin the propaganda wheel on the neural network is a nice touch too. They'd perhaps be seen as an equivalent to a pop culture icon, or at least well respected in the media. I love it!

The RP hasn't gained much traction save a couple people expressing interest, so please feel free to apply!

Wow, thanks for the feedback! The lore was organized well, so I didn't have to do much scrolling up and down to figure out what's what. Good job!

Give me some time, and I'll have a character written up. Likely before the weekend.
