The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

Right. I keep forgetting you're a fantasy person. I dunno why. Sorry. I will try again.

The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

I have had an idea!

Aight, so "American Gods"-esque Cthulhu mythos rp. Keep in mind I haven't actually read the book, I just read the wiki article due to an unrelated thing that came up.

A few years ago: The Elder Gods, being dumbasses, decide to wage war on the Outer Gods. A couple of Great Old Ones join in, and all this cosmic activity leads to some crazy shit on earth. Also the Elder Gods get their shit pushed in and while not technically capable of death, they get fucked pretty hard and flee to hide out in the Andromeda galaxy for a few millennia.

present day: A Daesh splinter cell bent on the world's destruction escapes the Middle East for South America, where they begin efforts to seek out the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, hoping to wake Cthulhu and guarantee the apocalypse. A Joint Task Force of the world's very best special forces operatives is assembled to combat this threat, including operatives from DEVGRU, 1st SFOD-D, JTF-2, the KCT, GROM, the SAS, Mossad, GIGN, and GSG 9. The task force, operating in teams of 4, successfully dismantled the splinter group, but discovered evidence of supernatural forces at work, and occult consultants were called in. They declared that machinations beyond mortal comprehension were being put into motion, but not until after two of the consultants went insane and committed suicide. The task force was disbanded, but kept at high readiness. The governments of the world refused to release what was discovered at the site of the assualt, and it remains a conspiracy

Concurrently: New aspects of the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods begin to manifest across the world. In "Location X" Uvhash assumes the surprisingly innocuous form of a humanoid vampire. Appearing almost identical to normal humans, aside from his very notable fangs, and inability to communicate orally. Uvhash quickly starts a cult of his own with shockingly intelligent Star Vampires as his Lieutenants and a following of human thralls converted to vampires that are much more adept at hiding in plain sight than their superiors. This all takes place over a weekend, and by monday a few dozen fresh vampires roam the streets. A few of them quickly forget their places, and seek to take advantage of their new powers. Unbothered by the triviality of humanity, Uvhash is only halted by the scheming of Great Old Ones claiming dominion over this part of the galaxy.

This leaves one freshly minted vampire, a first-generation bloodsucker created by Uvhash himself, to their own devices. Character A is unsure what to make of a war of gods on earth, but thinks to capitalize on it if possible, and create their own little empire out of the soon-to-be-ashes of earth. Character B is a firm believer in a lack of destiny and the importance of humanity in the universe, until they encounter character A and get their whole world flipped upside down. Character B does manage to convince character A that something has to be done, however, and they seek to shut down the cults that support Uvhash's rivals.

And then maybe character B notices that character A was building their own cult the whole time and freaks out? I dunno. Star vampires can show up on both sides along the way, I figger, and maybe they "save" the world...

Vampires are pretty standard, give or take. The smell of garlic induces nausea, tasting it induces vomiting, but no real harm done. Direct sunlight is completely blinding, and extended exposure causes nausea. really good sunglasses and covering up can reduce the symptoms, but really only delays them. Extensive tissue damage sufficient to render the vampire unable to do anything essentially kills them, regeneration at this point is incredibly slow and short of pushing all the pieces together for them, they won't be getting up for years, longer if people mess with their bits. Stabbing them through the heart, cutting off their head, and setting all of them on fire guarantees death. Drowning only works in naturally running water. religious symbols have no effect on vampires, and they do not require an invitation to enter a home. First generation vampires are capable of minor psychic and supernatural phenomena, do not show up in mirrors or on film, only cast a shadow in direct sunlight, and appear exceptionally pale when exposed to direct sunlight. When in dim lighting, vampires appear extra attractive, strobe lighting has the exact opposite effect, and bright non-sunlight has no effect. All vampires have enhanced speed, strength, and senses, with older vampires having more of an enhancement. First generation vampires can transform into wolves, small swarms of bats or rats, and clouds of fog, or smoke. They have minor psychic abilities, being capable of hypnotizing those who are not sober, or sober people currently dreaming. New vampires are created by biting a human, but not drinking enough of their blood to kill them. The resulting incurable infection results in vampirism after three painful days and a twenty-four hour coma.

Non-first-generation vampires lack the powers of their elders, but are remain difficult to kill and it is possible for them to attain the powers of their elders should they live long enough and eat enough people. Vampires can regenerate faster by expending the souls of those they have eaten. This is not an optional process and vampires who have gained powers by eating people can lose them this way.

I think I covered everything. What do you think?

It's A Wonderful Life! - An Imperial Guard (40K) RP [Looking for Guardsmen]

I'm working on another post, but I haven't had as much time as I'd anticipated.

The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

Kevin relaxed once Coyote left him alone, though he seemed to be just in time to get surprised himself. Contact right the fire god whispered in his head too late. It was revenge for his trick earlier. The first shot sliced off the end of his cigarette, and then smacked into a tree on his left. The werehyene reacted immediately, spurred on by his guardian's warning.

"Fuck." he declared, the word spitting out his cigarette butt at the same time. He turned to his right and swung his rifle up, "Contact right!" leaving his lips of its own accord. This time he shouted the words, and it was obviously different from his ruse only moments before. He squeezed the trigger on his rifle slowly, putting calculated shots anywhere he assumed his target would be.

"Shift left! Boulder, ten metres!" he barked, assuming Zara had rotated with him. He didn't have time to treat her like a child, so he just hoped she could take orders. Unfortunately his orders would probably seem rather vague to someone without a military background. "Go! Go! Go!" he encouraged the woman, spotting a muzzle flash as their enemy fired another shot. He put three rounds toward the spot he'd noticed the flash, and then picked up his own pace as he moved toward the boulder himself. It was going to be a long day.

Doing his best to conserve their ammunition, the contractor provided covering fire while they moved behind the only thing guaranteed to stop bullets nearby. Trees were surprisingly unreliable, especially when your enemy was using rifle rounds. Three-thirty-eight? Coyote suggested, probably at random.

"Can't be. Report's too quiet. Short-barrelled three-oh-eight with a shitty suppressor, maybe..." the warrior muttered back.

He's pretty far away, regardless.

"No shit." the soldier wasn't convinced Coyote was trying to help any more. "Does he have any friends?" the question left his mouth just as he heard the distinctive crack of an automatic, eastern-bloc weapon start up. A good dozen rounds smacked into the other side of the boulder he was hunkered behind.

Soviet. Coyote observed unhelpfully

"PK-Something." he grumbled as another burst tore into the rock. "It's going to be a long day..." he took a deep breath and then looked to his partner. "All right, Zara... There's at least two of them, and they have us dialed-in. Do you want to draw fire, first? Or do you want to spot first?" he started fumbling around in his chest rig while he spoke, pulling out a radio handset and plugging a cable into it. The cable connected to a much smaller handset with a clip on the back. "Take this. Stow the radio, use the handset. Press to talk, release to listen, I'll try not to lose it when you screw up radio procedures." he ordered as he waited for her to answer his question. "This is probably going to take hours. Possibly the rest of the day. Be patient, stay alert, and let's hope we're better at flanking than they are." Kevin wondered if he was better off asking her to find some slightly better cover and sit tight. He didn't want to underestimate his companion, however, and figured she might as well get used to life out in the wasteland eventually...

Death=][=Watch - A WH40K 'Deathwatch' RP, looking for participants.

Lakon sighed with relief when the chaplain assured them that the horrors they would face were truly nightmarish and possibly insurmountable. He kept his exhalation silent, but the way the stress seemed to drain from hos body along with his breath was noticeable to anyone paying attention. He didn't much care what the others thought of him, as long as the skull-helmed warrior in front of them was telling the truth. He disagreed, however, with the Blood Angel's statement that declared them unready for such things. The Astartes had never been more ready for anything in his life. He supposed the intent of the wording was true, however, he certainly had no combat experience against anything truly threatening to the health or well-being of the Emperor's finest.

He lost his train of thought when they were welcomed to the Watch-Fortress, and the chaplain bid them follow him to what was hopefully their chambers. The marine was eager to find what arms and armour had been provided to him, and to begin tinkering, if only to have something to do. Unfortunately, however, their destination turned out to be a dining hall, and not their rooms. The super-human decided that there was nothing wrong with this outcome either, however, as he could certainly use a meal or six. Lakon was very deliberately the last one into the room, however, and he darted swiftly after the chaplain as the power-armoured officer slipped out of the room like he was a ghost. Calculating the echo of the hallway, he spoke loud enough to be heard, but only just.

"Apologies, for my earlier disrespect, Chaplain. I strive to balance my humours." he offered in the same curt, heavily enunciated tone. He expected no response, however, seeing as how he was talking to the man's back, and was back in the refectory just as quickly as he'd departed. "Torik." he spoke the man's name like a demand, "I'll eat whatever's convenient. Bring as much as you can carry, I'm sure the others are hungry too." having survived on a very questionable diet for a length of time he wasn't entirely sure about, actual food sounded quite appealing to the warrior. And eating was a good way to keep everyone quiet, which meant that Haakon would have less time to ask inappropriate questions.

@Psyker Landshark What's a landshark and how did they get psychic powers?

The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

Works for me. Sounds like a fun time, let's do it.

The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

But it's not like, fun cuddling, it's kinda awkward and neither of them knows how to feel about it XD

The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

It's all good. Action, eh? What if an especially angry water spirit appears and they end up in a firefight that doesn't end until almost dusk and then they have to sneak away quickly to avoid being tracked down by anyone else? And then they end up cuddling or something for... reasons...
