vam·pire

/ˈvamˌpī(ə)r/

Noun
1. a corpse supposed, in European folklore, to leave its grave at night to drink the blood of the living by biting their necks with long pointed canine teeth. Undead.

Vampires have stood the test of time as myths; stories to scare children at night. Hollywood cliches that remain in the limelight due to their mysterious nature and dashing good looks. This holds some truth, only they are not just in your imaginations. Vampires have lived among humans for centuries and to this day, their true identities have never been revealed. To avoid this from happening, a vampire must choose a human 'companion' so to speak. One human to get their blood supply from and to meet whatever other needs they might have. From first bite, a connection forms between the vampire and human. A bond usually develops, displayed mainly in the human at the beginning but slowly the vampire too will become a little affectionate towards their human. After all, the human becomes 'theirs' once they're bitten and vampires tend to be a little possessive of their property. It is important to note, however, that vampires are not expected to fall in love with their human. It is not something that is highly regarded in their society but there are always those willing to push what is expected of them. While it is not necessary a law - there are vampires that will hunt down and act against those that consider their humans to be anything more than a food source.

Every year the newly changed vampires - and those who's humans have gone past there sell by date - attend a dance. One in which they are expected to find a human to last them for the next few years. The unsuspecting humans receive an invitation in the mail, telling them they have been selected above all others to attend the annual masquerade ball. An invitation many would die for.


Dearest ____________,

You have been officially invited to attend the Harrison Masquerade Ball this Friday evening at eight in Mr. D Harrison's estate. This invitation is valid only for the person whose name is stated above. No further guests will be permitted to enter the grounds as this is a private event. Formal wear is essential. There will be a buffet and open bar at the ball and a prize for the most elegantly dressed lady and gentleman.

We look forward to seeing you this Friday evening.

Kind regards~







The Harrington Estate is may be a cage, but think of it more as a nature reserve rather than dinky bars. The mansion is on over 100 acres kept with every amenity a human/vampire needs to survive in luxury. There are over 21 bedrooms each with a walk-in shower/closet area, an indoor and outdoor pool, gym with rock climbing walls and indoor equipment, an indoor theater, a ballroom, three living rooms, gourmet kitchen with all the works, outdoor firepit, grill, and courtyard. There is a botanical garden on the grounds along with hiking trails. There is a outdoor tennis court, basketball court, and multiple areas to further explore.




Important Note:

These vampires can go out into sunlight, but it weakens them a considerable amount and it's only direct sunlight that weakens them. If they spend too long in it they may die. The older they are the longer they can spend in the sun. They can be killed only by other vampires though humans can hurt them with sharp wood. They can change a human into a vampire by sharing their blood with the human. They don't need to sleep but sometimes do if they've been hurt or they're thirsty. They're stronger, faster and overall, more powerful than humans. Despite common tropes they do not have any powers. A human does not need to die for a vampire to cast them aside and get a new one.

When being bitten and fed from, a human will either feel intense pleasure or pain. They will form a strong bond with the vampire who has bitten them, and this bond will not break unless the vampire feeds from a different human. The vampires will give the humans a drink after they have fed from them called Thyma, based off the medical effects of polycythemia in the body. This will help the humans regain energy and help their blood cells multiply so they don't die from lack of blood, being fed from so often.

Rules:
As the GM I expect you to respect both myself and any others who join this rp. No characters will be god-modded without permission. If someone quits replying or is busy for several days then their character can be modded in the sake of keeping someone else from being stuck. We will need to keep the balance between vampires and humans for the sake of how this roleplay works. Due to this I intend to make one vampire and then keep an available spot for the sake of balancing. For matchmaking I am going to use a randomizer and once we have all the character sheets I will send you who your partner will be. If you have issues with this partner down the line we can trade out if needed.

I am here. I would like to lay claim to a human character for the time being. I am willing, if we need to balance later, to also make a Vampire character but I just want a human for now.

Dexter Gilbert

Dex


|25 (Since 1940s)|Vampire|Non-Binary (Them/They)|



Personality

|Friendly| |Creepy| |Smart| |Insane| |Creative| |Sarcastic|

Dextar is a friendly towards their friends and their colleagues, always be the one with the answers to everyone problems, and just love learning new things overall.....But underneath that calm persona, is a twisted vampire that will do anything to learn about the secrets of the world, if even they have to do some questionable things to achieve it.



History

[center]In the 1940s, Back when the United States and the Soviet Union had fear and paranoia in everyone's minds, there was one person who was too busy, filling their minds with curiosity and taste of more knowledge, and that person was Dexter Gilbert. Dexter was a smart kid at a young age, a little too smart people say. At college while everyone was out there socializing, Dex has their face buried in many books that they can read, trying to eat every knowledge that the world has. But just because Dex was a shut-in, doesn't mean that they didn't have any friends, his name was Professor Miller, a family friend and a mentor to young Dex. With him on Dex's side, their search for never ending knowledge would never end....But then, Dex heard the news that shattered their mind....They were dying from a deadly disease.

Dex didn't want their quest to end here! They want to live! They want to get to know everything before they die!.....Professor Miller suggests something that could save Dex's life, and all they have to do is go to a party, Dex agrees to go.....And after that night, Dex is never the same again.....They turn into a vampire.

This was a dream come true towards Dex! They can finally stay alive! They'll never die! Since that night, Dex has been learning everything, never slowing down. Dex wants to learn world knowledge and secrets!....Even though that path they are taking is going to make them mad.


Outfit for the Party






Other:

Dex has a Phd

@LostDestiny @Akayaofthemoon you can go ahead and move your characters over.

@sassy1085 Two quick things. I want you to expand on your personality of the character a bit more. I don't mind a little mystery but flesh them out some more for me. Secondly, if they are in the U.S in the 1940s be aware more of the concern was the tail end of WWII than the red scare. Red scare was more after WWI kinda in that 1920s period. I'm all for the mad with knowledge but again its a bit vague. If Dex was invited to the party they would have been a human sacrifice, not something that would have occurred with an ill human. You can still have them turned but it would be prior and then brought to the estate to work out the kinks of a newborn vampire. Fix these two things and tag me when you are ready for me to re-review your character. Other than that I do like the image and the outfit.

Interested, but only if I can be a human. Any gender is fine - is there a particular gender of human that is more needed right now? I may work on CS later.
