🗡 Roses and Daggers 🎕

Time: Nighttime Sola 28th
Location: Dinner event
Interaction: Roman @ReusableSword Alexander @FunnyGuy
Mentions:



The evening dragged like a blade across Violet’s skin—every tick of the clock a cruel reminder of how exposed she was, how hollow the walls she had built truly were.
Alexander’s voice cut through the tension with sudden urgency, snapping her attention toward him. Her body sank back in her chair, arms folded loosely across her lap, brows drawn not just in anger but in something far deeper—something broken. Violet was unraveling. Scarlet clawed at the edges of her soul, trying to hold the seams together, but pain bloomed like rot in her chest. All Violet wanted was to scream—to release the poison coiled in her throat, choking her silent.
Alexander’s apology landed like cold ash on her skin. “Especially you, Violet. I apologize for betraying the trust we have built so far…”

The nerve.

She recoiled, shrugging his hand from her shoulder like it burned her. She turned away, refusing him the satisfaction. But then her eyes caught Roman’s—and she couldn’t look away.

He was the crash she saw coming and still couldn’t avoid—the slow, inevitable destruction she had braced for and still couldn’t survive. Her walls cracked. Shattered. And for the briefest, most fragile moment, she saw him hesitate.

Her breath caught.

She knew that look—had memorized it so many times but never dare speak aloud.
And then it was gone.

He looked away.

Her eyes dropped to her plate. The food sat cold and untouched, but her chest heaved like she was drowning on dry land. Her fists clenched tightly in her lap, the only thing anchoring her to the moment.

“As the king decrees I acquiesce. I shall not pursue courtship with Lady Violet Damien until it is otherwise allowed by the powers that be.”

The tiny, trembling hope she had clung to—so desperately, so foolishly—crushed to ash in her hands.

“Am I of the understanding that these wishes apply to Lady Crystal Damien as well?”

The sound that escaped her throat was barely human.

Suddenly, Violet shot to her feet, the chair scraping sharply against the floor. The table clattered from the force, silverware jumping, her wine glass nearly tipping over. Her napkin floated to the ground.

Her hands slammed down onto the table, her body rigid with rage and devastation.
Her scarlet eyes locked onto Roman—piercing, burning, accusing.

And then—

Her hand shot up.

It hung there—half-raised, trembling violently in the air.

Her fingers twitched, her entire arm quivering from the desperate, visceral urge to strike him across the face.

The weight of betrayal, humiliation, and heartbreak screamed through her bloodstream, begging for release.

But she couldn’t.

Her hand shook harder, suspended in air like a sword caught between fate and choice.
Her fingers curled inward—slowly, painfully—as if each joint fought her.
Bit by bit, she closed her hand into a trembling fist, nails digging into her palm.

Her chest rose and fell in frantic rhythm, her eyes wide and glassy but unblinking.

She wouldn’t hit him.

No—she would make him look.

She would make him see the ruin he made—and know it was his.

Tears welled up, hot and helpless, blurring her vision.The heartbreak spilled over as her fists quivered against the table.

Her body, exhausted from the restraint, sagged slightly. Her hand fell slowly to her side, curling against the fabric of her dress as if holding herself together by force of will alone.Still she stared at him. Still she burned.

Violet reached for her glass with a trembling hand, lifted it to her lips, and drained the wine with a slow, deliberate motion. The tears fell freely now, each droplet striking the table like tiny daggers.

Setting the empty glass down with a soft clink, Violet found her voice—shattered, raw, but hers.

“Excuse me...”

It cracked in the middle, barely a whisper, but it carried every ounce of her devastation.
She turned on her heel with a grace too furious to be called delicate, her black hair whipping behind her like a final blow.

“You don't scare me, you're still just as beautiful as the moon, my Raven.”

Tears blurred her vision as she stumbled toward the exit, desperate for air, for distance, for something—anything—that didn’t feel like bleeding out while still breathing.

Lilianne stood, pressing a hand gently to her husband's shoulder—a silent promise—and followed.
She found Violet slumped on a stone bench in the gardens, hands covering her face, body racked with sobs so raw they sounded like dying.

Lilianne sat beside her daughter without a word, simply there.

Violet raised her face, flushed and broken, her soul laid bare.

Lilianne brushed away the tears with a hand as gentle as a whispered prayer.
“We don't need to talk,”she said softly. “I just don’t want you to be alone.”

And Violet, for the first time that night, allowed herself to fall apart completely.

Haunted by the brutal murder of her parents by the Wardens, Vex relentlessly hunts them down, fueled by a need to avenge their deaths. This vengeance is intertwined with her craving for freedom—a need to break free from the shackles of her tragic past and the expectations of others. Her independence is her lifeblood, and the open road on her motorcycle is where she feels most alive and in control. However, beneath her tough, solitary exterior, Vex battles with a constant longing to feel accepted—to be a part of something, even though she’s long given up on the idea of finding it. Despite her hardened persona, Vex secretly yearns for a sense of belonging, but she’s resigned herself to the idea that she’ll always be on the outside, never truly able to fit in. This complex mix of motivations—vengeance, freedom, and the desire for acceptance—drives her every decision, making her both a fierce survivor and a deeply conflicted individual. Personality Overview Vexa "Vex" Thorne is a fierce, independent woman with a tough, no-nonsense attitude. She projects strength and sarcasm like a shield but is capable of shocking tenderness when she lets her walls down. Her loyalty is difficult to earn but unwavering once given — though most never get close enough to even try. Beneath her badass bravado lies a deeply wounded girl, still yearning for a place to belong, and furious at the world that denied her one.

• Current Occupation | Tattoo Artist
• Level of Schooling | The Streets
• Past Occupations | Thief (still dabbles)
• Socioeconomic Status | Low Class
• History Summary | Vex’s earliest memories are a haze of blood, screams, and terror. She remembers her parents being murdered in front of her—torn from her life by the Wardens—and then being dumped like a stray dog in the woods, left to die without a second thought. The Wardens assumed the wilds would finish what they started. But where others might have perished, Vex survived. Instinct and raw willpower kept her alive, growing stronger and sharper in the shadows of the wild.

As a young girl, desperate for connection, she tried to find a new pack—seeking out other Lycans in hopes of finding a place to belong. But fear ruled the Lycan community; none would risk taking her in, afraid the Wardens would hunt down any who sheltered her. Again and again, she was shunned, the rejection cutting deeper than any wound, hardening her heart into something fierce and unyielding.

Vex drifted into the city's dark underbelly, surviving as a thief before falling under the wing of Bear, a gruff old tattoo artist with a soft spot for broken things. Bear taught her how to wield ink like a blade and ride motorcycles like a demon unleashed. When he died, Vex inherited his parlor — *The Raven’s Nest* — a place for outlaws, misfits, and strays like herself. Alone again but never beaten, she keeps riding — hunting revenge, carving her own legacy into the city, and daring the world to try and tame her.

Beyond The Veil Interest Check

Is there an overarching plot to adhere to? Does each of us need a reason to know / be working together with others in the cast? Or is this more of an emergent sandbox situation?

@enmuni Contemplating playing a Blooded using a petty arms-dealing racket to try and prove his usefulness to the Elders, and find an "in" into the vampiric political big leagues, when he realizes the real money to be made is in securing a renewable source of, and constructing a clientele for, Fae blood. Mooks, business partners, and (yes) protégés inquire within.

@TokyoPewPew

Great question. We outlined the basic synopsis of the plot with some points on key factors for the RP more towards the bottom if you would like to review however this is a creative playground so while there is a plot regarding the veil and the basic heiarchey within the groups we are pretty flexible. There is no real working together with anyone per say however we did outline why you may or may not work with another race. The fae being the important one do to their magic and the glamour.

Hopefully that answers your question. Based on your idea here it would certainly fit into the RP :)

✨Beyond The Veil✨

"Built by blood, bound by lies."

The Premise

Premise

Tucked away between buildings and streets that seem to lead to nowhere, veiled beneath a sky coated in smog and soot, the city of Halcyon is a place that only exists in whispers and tales.

It was built that way.

Long before the first breath of humanity, Halcyon rose from the darkness, the ancient bloodlines of Halcyon struck a deal with dark powers that twisted the fabric of supernatural existence. The world had outgrown the fear of the dark, and the creatures that lived there — the Fae, the sanguine curse and the lycans, the things that should never have walk among men — would soon find themselves exposed, hunted, and nearly brought to extinction

To survive, they made a pact — not just to hide, but to erase their very existence from the world’s memory. To be forgotten.

With a spell of unfathomable power, the Fae wove the Glamour — a force so intricate, so absolute, that Halcyon itself was now hidden from the world. A city wrapped in shadows, suspended in time, its very geography defying reason. Maps crumble to dust. Memories distort and vanish. Those who wander too close to the city’s boundaries find themselves lost in endless roads that lead to nowhere. Few leave. Fewer arrive.

Inside the Glamour’s fold, Halcyon thrives, a twisted sanctuary where the monsters rule unseen and unchallenged. But their kingdom, built on blood and power, is not as perfect as it once was.

Beneath the surface of ancient stone and overgrown thorns, something is beginning to crack. The fragile peace that holds the supernatural powers together is weakening, the threads of their bond unraveling one by one.The underbelly stirring awake with chaotic energy.

The laws that once kept the darkness in check are beginning to bend, to break. The creatures that walked in shadow now hunger for more than just survival. And in the depths of the city, in the forgotten corners of Halcyon, something ancient stirs — a force that was never meant to be freed.

As the Glamour starts to falter, so too does the city’s facade. The creatures who once existed in the safety of Halcyon’s false reality now see the cracks forming, the whispers of rebellion spreading like wildfire. Betrayals fester in the shadows, and blood flows once again.There are those wanting to break free from the cracks while others are working hard to restore Halcyon to what it once was.

In Halcyon, no one is safe…

The Powers of Halcyon

Vampires - The Sanguine Curse - The Gilded Tyrants

The Vampires of Halcyon are a breed born of blood and power, their lineage stretching back centuries — ancient, rich, and unfathomably manipulative. They are the natural-born leaders, the kings and queens of the shadows, their dominion built on the backs of those who are forgotten by the world. These vampires are no mere creatures of the night; they are the architects of empires, weaving webs of influence through politics, money, media, and vice. Cloaked in the finest silks, surrounded by neon lights and glass towers, they command the skyline, their every whim catered to by those they enslave.

They are the Gilded Tyrants, rulers of Halcyon’s underworld, where wealth and decadence flow as freely as blood. Their existence is one of excess, indulgence, and control, sustained by a curse they neither welcome nor escape: the Sanguine Curse. They must feed to survive, but over the centuries, they have learned to bend this curse to their will. While some remain tied to the primal craving for human blood, relishing its warmth and vitality, others turn to synthetic substitutes — a more refined, less perilous alternative.

Yet even in their synthetic indulgence, many of the Vampires believe that true power lies in the taste of fear. The pulse of their prey, the trembling of a dying human, the rush of blood heightened by terror — to them, it is not just sustenance; it is control, a reminder that they hold dominion over those who are weak. Some of them even claim that fear makes the blood taste sweeter, more intoxicating.

Despite their centuries-long reign, the Vampires are not invincible. The Glamour, woven by the Fae, is what keeps their world hidden and protected. Without it, they are no more than monsters in the light, and the very city they claim as their kingdom would turn on them. But even as their empire crumbles beneath the weight of their own excess, they remain ever ambitious, ever ruthless, convinced that their bloodlines — their legacy — make them superior to all others. The cost of maintaining their façade is steep.

In Halcyon, they believe themselves gods in silk, rulers in shadow — but they are still bound by the very curse that made them what they are.

The Lycan — The Iron Claws

In the shadowed veins of Halcyon, where the city’s pulse runs dark and desperate — in the docks, the dive bars, the scrapyards — the Lycan thrive. They are not the refined rulers of the skyline, nor the hidden aristocrats of the night. They are the muscle, the brokers of violence, the raw power that keeps the city’s darkest corners alive. They are the loyalists and the outlaws, the Wardens and the enforcers, the ones who survive through grit, blood, and ferocity.

Organized into tight, brutal packs, the lycans are the backbone of Halcyon’s underworld. They are indispensable, for they control the black markets where weapons, flesh, and secrets are traded in equal measure. They are the ones who enforce the unspoken laws that govern the city’s hidden realm, settling disputes in blood and bone. Their word is law in the grimy back alleys and underworld dens, where only the strong thrive and the weak perish.

The Lycans may never have the luxury of money, but they have something far more valuable — their power, rooted in physicality, loyalty, and an unbreakable bond to the land they roam. They are the "boots on the ground" that hold Halcyon’s fragile peace together. Without them, the delicate balance of the city would unravel, and chaos would reign.

While the Vampires may own the city — commanding its wealth, politics, and status — it is the Lycans who run it. They are the enforcers, the protectors, and the heart of Halcyon’s streets. And though they may walk in shadows, their grip on the city is anything but invisible.

The Lycans’ claws are buried deep in Halcyon’s flesh..

The Fae — The Architects, The Hidden Crown

Ancient. Beautiful. Terrifying.

The Fae are the unseen forces that weave through the city’s undercurrents — their presence felt in every whispered deal, every stolen glance, every moment of dread that hangs thick in the air. They are rarely seen, their movements delicate and elusive, like shadows that shift just beyond the reach of light. Yet, they are everywhere. Artists, muses, crime lords, black market dream-weavers — the Fae are the secret architects of Halcyon’s very existence.

It is their magic, their ancient power, that maintains the Glamour — the intricate, unbreakable veil that hides the city from the world. Without it, Halcyon would be revealed for what it truly is:a city of nightmares. The Vampires and Lycan may wage their petty wars for power and money, posturing in their glittering fortresses and grimy streets, but the true power lies with the Fae.

For while they may control the surface, it is the Fae who keep the city hidden, and to anger them is to invite oblivion. The Fae’s power is not one that can be trifled with, for it is boundless, ancient, and unforgiving. To provoke the Fae is to summon the collapse of everything — the fragile peace between supernatural factions, the illusion of safety, the very foundation upon which Halcyon stands.

The Vampires may claim the skyline. The Lycan may own the streets. But they both know but without the Fae’s touch, their world would shatter in an instant. The Fae are the masters of Halcyon’s survival. They are the unseen hand that shapes the city’s fate, and their silence is more terrifying than any roar.

To cross the Fae is to walk a path from which there is no return.

Humans — The Ashen Few - Wardens

The Glamour, woven by the Fae, is a web of illusion that clouds human minds, erasing inconsistencies, fogging memories, and twisting the world into a dream of complacency. It nudges the curious into apathy, dulls the senses of those who would dare question, and hides the monsters beneath a veil of civility.

It was be hunted or become the Warden, they became the Wardens.

They see through the cracks — the faintest glimpses of the dark truths that lurk beneath Halcyon’s surface. These are the Wardens — the few who have glimpsed the horrors of the city, the inhuman creatures that crawl in the shadows, and the endless cycle of power that keeps them in control.

The Wardens are outnumbered. Isolated. Underequipped. They have no grand armies, no vast networks of resources. All they have is their resolve, their grit, and the fading remnants of humanity’s will to fight back against the unnatural tide that threatens to swallow it whole. Some hunt for vengeance, driven by the loss of loved ones to the creatures that rule the city. Others seek justice, hoping to expose the truth that the world has long forgotten. And some, perhaps the most tragic, fight because they can no longer look away — because the monsters beneath the mask have marked their lives in ways that cannot be undone.

The Wardens are the thin, broken line between humanity and the inhuman thrones of Halcyon. They are the last vestige of resistance, the fragile hope that there is still a way to break the chains that bind the city’s dark reign. They fight in the shadows, their struggle unseen, their victories fleeting. But still, they fight.

And every battle they lose makes the monsters of Halcyon stronger. But they fight anyway — because if they don’t, no one else will.

Present day

The treaties are weakening.

Old grudges and new ambitions are pulling the factions toward open conflict.
Some whisper that the Glamour itself is fraying.

Power is shifting.

Murders, disappearances, forbidden affairs — each splinter threatens to become a crack in the whole facade.

Vampires

Vampires

They have three options for Blood:
✦Blackmarket human trafficking, owning humans for consumption and reuse
✦Hunting the streets for fresh blood
✦Synthetic alternatives living a bloodless lifestyle

Blood thirst and Addiction are common:
✦Controlled thirst with daily sources
✦Mild blood craze, they tend to see red. Turn into mindless animals
✦Addiction, the creature comes alive. All balance of their humanity if any is gone. They live to kill, mindless ghoons. They are seens as the scum of the vampire community, looked upon as weak.

Vampires aren't burned by sunlight, but it weakens them dramatically. Each class will be affected diffrently

Fae blood is addicting, its forbidden to consume as you can turn into a ghoon. Vampires have a pact with the Fae for the protect of the veil. It is considered punishable by death to own,distribute or drink Fae blood but there is an underground market for it if you can find it.

Can get drunk and enjoy human food although human food does not offer them substance or benefit simply for social gain and enjoyment.

Naturally addictive personalities. Vampires have an affinity for anything that brings them pleasure, constantly seeking that thrill that died so long ago. Sex, Drugs and Alcohol are common addictions with high tolerances for substances.

Vampire Class Hierarchy

Elder vampires
The Elder Vampires are the ancient and most powerful of their kind, the true rulers of Halcyon. Their bloodlines are steeped in history and power, with a legacy that stretches back for centuries, if not millennia. These vampires have long ago transcended the basic needs of their kind, becoming more like gods than monsters. With the ability to turn humans into vampires, they have created generations of loyal progeny to solidify their reign and ensure the continuance of their bloodline.

Powers & Traits:

✦Mastery Over Blood: Elder Vampires have absolute control over their blood. They can turn humans with ease, and their bite is lethal to those they wish to consume. Their ability to manipulate the essence of life makes them powerful in combat, as well as in influencing other vampires.

✦Immortal Wisdom: With their immense age comes unparalleled knowledge of the world. Elders are scholars, tacticians, and politicians, using their long lifespans to amass wisdom, making them the strategic brains of their factions.

✦Mental Manipulation: This power, called Dominion, is more potent than any other vampire’s. They can bend reality to their will, shaping their surroundings, erasing memories, and controlling the minds of weaker vampires or humans. Their Dominion is essentially an extension of their willpower.

✦Invulnerability to Most Weaknesses: Elder Vampires are virtually impervious to sunlight, silver, and most common weaknesses that plague their younger kin.

✦Healing: Elder Vampires blood can offer healing properties to speed up healing. Its considered liquid gold and been known to be harvested and sold on the black markets for profit.

✦Downside: If a vampire turns a human, it leaves them vulnerable to attacks. They are weak, powerless and for that reason turning a human is rare and often done in secret. Sunlight can kill them slowly and painfully, they are more open to manipulation, they become a feeble and weak version of themselves for a period of time. They must feed in large amounts to regain their strength.

The Blooded

Normal Vampires, often referred to as the Blooded, are the core of vampire society in Halcyon.

They are neither as ancient and powerful as the Elder Vampires nor as chaotic and unpredictable as the Spawn, but they stand as seasoned predators, honed by years of survival and manipulation. The Blooded are those who have lived for centuries but have not ascended to the status of an Elder. They are often ambitious, ruthless, and highly skilled in navigating the delicate balance of vampire politics and the shadowed world they inhabit.

Once turned, a normal vampire’s powers and control over their blood become significantly enhanced, but unlike the Elders, they do not have access to the deepest wellsprings of blood magic. They are masters of the basics, but their power is firmly rooted in manipulation, influence, and physical strength.

Powers & Traits:

✦ Enhanced Physicality: Blooded Vampires possess superior strength, speed, and agility compared to humans. Their reflexes are lightning-fast, and they can overpower most adversaries with ease. They are also incredibly resilient, able to recover from wounds that would be fatal to normal humans. They are weakened by Silver, Blood ash(dried up vampire remains) and sunlight.

✦ Dominion: While their Dominion is not as potent as that of the Elders, Blooded Vampires are still capable of subtly manipulating others. They can influence the minds of humans and weaker vampires, using their charm and persuasive abilities to get what they want. Their Dominion works best on those of lower standing, though they may struggle against more powerful minds.

✦ Master of the Shadows: Blooded Vampires excel in stealth and subterfuge. They can move through the shadows undetected, their supernatural grace making them masters of infiltration and assassination. They can appear as mere whispers in the dark, their presence barely noticeable to even the most sensitive of humans or vampires.

✦ Political Savvy: These vampires are deeply involved in the social, economic, and political structures of Halcyon. They may hold positions of power in various sectors, such as business, politics, law enforcement, or crime syndicates. They thrive on their ability to manipulate both vampires and humans to further their own goals.

✦ Blood Frenzy: Blooded Vampires, while in control of their instincts, are not immune to the overwhelming urge for blood. If they go too long without feeding, they can fall into a blood frenzy — a dangerous state where they lose all control and become mindless predators, consumed by an uncontrollable desire to kill and feed. They have addictive personalities.

✦ Ego and Pride: While not as grandiose as the Elders, the Blooded are still highly self-assured and possess significant pride. They believe themselves to be above humans, and their arrogance can lead to risky decisions or underestimating their enemies. Overconfidence in their abilities often makes them vulnerable to more cunning or ruthless adversaries. Not all vampires share this same outlook however its uncommon.

✦ Limited Control Over Younger Vampires: Blooded Vampires, while experienced, may struggle to control or mentor the newly turned Spawn effectively. Unlike the Elders, they lack the experience or patience required to fully guide the newly made vampires, leading to volatile situations when dealing with them. They may try to exert control over Spawn, but they lack the authority and respect that the Elders command.

✦ Desire for Power: While the Blooded are generally ambitious, their thirst for power often blinds them to the bigger picture. Their desire to climb the ranks and gain more control can cause them to make enemies of both vampires and humans alike. They often find themselves trapped in a dangerous web of alliances and rivalries, which can quickly become their undoing.

Spawn

Spawn are the newly turned, the freshly marked by the Sanguine Curse, and the most volatile of vampires. They are the most dangerous yet fragile members of vampire society, existing on the cusp between humanity and full vampiric transformation. Their minds, still tethered to their human past, are often overwhelmed by the bloodlust that comes with their new existence. Spawn are thrust into a world of darkness and power, but they are like untamed beasts — often confused, uncontrollable, and desperate for guidance.

Unlike Blooded Vampires, who have honed their abilities and learned the subtle art of manipulation, the Spawn are still learning to master their bloodrage and control their impulses. They are easily manipulated and are seen by many as little more than weapons to be wielded or discarded by the older, more powerful members of vampire society. The Unraveled, as they are sometimes called, are living in the storm of their transformation, unfit for leadership but dangerous in their unchecked power.

Powers & Traits:

✦ Blood Frenzy: The Spawn are constantly on the edge of their bloodlust. When hungry, their hunger is nearly insatiable, and they are prone to slipping into a blood frenzy — a primal state where all reasoning and self-control vanish. In this state, they become mindless killers, completely driven by the need to feed, even at the expense of their own survival. Unlike older vampires who can withstand their cravings, the Spawn must feed regularly to stave off the madness that threatens to consume them.

✦ Unstable Abilities: Spawn possess the physical strength and agility of vampires but lack control over their powers. They are fast and strong, but they may inadvertently unleash their abilities in uncontrollable bursts. Their reflexes are sharp, but their heightened senses are a double-edged sword, often overwhelming them. The Spawn may be able to heal faster than a human, but their healing process is erratic, and wounds may take longer to close, leaving them vulnerable until they feed.

✦ Emotional Sensitivity: Having recently been human, the Spawn are emotionally volatile. Their new existence amplifies their feelings, particularly anger, fear, and despair. They may struggle with their humanity, often torn between the lingering attachments to their old life and the predatory instincts of their new one. This emotional instability makes them susceptible to manipulation, especially by older vampires who know how to exploit their weaknesses.

✦ No Control Over Their Hunger: Unlike Blooded Vampires who can manage their craving for human blood through synthetic substitutes or blood rituals, Spawn are often slaves to their hunger. Their cravings are overwhelming, and they are less able to control the urge to feed on human blood. This lack of control often results in them acting out violently, sometimes leading to killing innocent people or destroying their relationships with their creators. Those with strong wills attempt to satiate with synthetic blood while others cave into their desires.

✦ Inexperienced in Dominion: Spawn have little understanding or control over theDominion that vampires use to manipulate humans or other vampires. They may instinctively try to charm or dominate others, but their attempts are often clumsy or chaotic. They struggle to hide their true nature and may attract unwanted attention when they fail to disguise their predatory tendencies.They Dominion will fail but may grow stronger as they adept.

✦ Mentorship Dependency: Spawn are highly impressionable and need the guidance of an experienced vampire to avoid succumbing to their base instincts. If they do not receive proper mentorship, they risk losing themselves entirely to the bloodrage or being used as pawns by older vampires. A lack of guidance may also cause them to go feral, driven by madness or chaos that ultimately results in their death or complete loss of self.

✦ Loss of Humanity: One of the greatest challenges faced by the Spawn is the overwhelming loss of their human identity. As time passes, the memories of their mortal lives begin to fade. The more they succumb to their vampiric urges, the further they drift from their former selves. The deeper their bloodlust becomes, the harder it is for them to maintain any sense of moral clarity or self-control. This internal struggle can leave them feeling broken or torn, sometimes leading to self-destructive behavior.

✦ Vulnerable to Manipulation: The Spawn are at the mercy of those who are more powerful or experienced. They are often seen as tools to be controlled by Blooded Vampires or Elder Vampires. Manipulation is an essential part of their existence — their desperation and lack of control make them highly susceptible to influence, whether it be through fear, promises of power, or emotional ties to more experienced vampires.

✦ Vulnerable to Sunlight: They cannot go out into the sunlight.

Lycan

Lycan

Flesh and fury bound to the pulse of the moon, the Lycans are the city's unbroken spine. Where Vampires rule from towers of glass and neon, Lycans stalk the alleys, the gutters, and the abandoned streets where the real power is decided. They are the black-market kings, the street enforcers, the silent protectors and ruthless killers. Their strength lies in unity — packs woven tighter than blood, forged in violence, loyalty, and ancient instinct. To be Lycan is to carry a storm beneath your skin. Their rage is both their greatest weapon and their deadliest curse. Alphas lead with tooth and claw. Packmates fight and die for one another. Rogues, cast adrift, either master their madness — or are consumed by it. Without the Lycans, Halcyon would already have torn itself apart.But even their iron bonds are beginning to fray...And when a wolf runs wild, nothing can stop the slaughter to come.

✦ Lycan Transformation ✦

✦ Triggered by Emotion or Will: Rage, fear, pain, even fierce loyalty can trigger a change. Most seasoned Lycans can shift by will alone — but younger ones often lose control during emotional outbursts.

✦ The Moon's Influence: The full moon amplifies the curse, making it harder to resist. Even the strongest Alphas struggle to stay human under its pull. Some packs chain themselves underground during these nights... others revel in the bloodletting.

✦ Physical Transformation : It is violent — bones snap, muscles tear and regrow, skin stretches. There is nothing clean or "magical" about it. It hurts every time. The more experienced a Lycan, the faster (and slightly less agonizing) the change becomes.

✦ Partial Shifts: Skilled Lycans can "half-shift," growing claws, fangs, heightened senses, or increased strength without fully turning into their wolf form. This is often used for quick fights or intimidation.

✦ Appearance : Their wolf forms are not pure wolves — they are monstrous hybrids: too large, too muscular, with eyes that burn gold, red, or silver depending on the bloodline. Fur tends to mirror their human hair color.

✦ Consequences: Shifting burns calories like wildfire. Afterward, they’re often ravenous, exhausted, or both. Wounded Lycans may heal rapidly in wolf form but crash harder once the shift ends.

✦ Creation:

Lycans can be born into their curse - The pure blood allows their abilities to be stronger then one pron of transference

Lycans can also be created through a violent transference of the curse. It must be deliberate — a Lycan must tear into a human with intent, mixing blood during a near-fatal mauling. The human must survive the attack — a rare and painful ordeal.

Bloodline Strength: Who bites you matters. If bitten by a pureblood Alpha, you have a greater chance of surviving with strength and sanity. If bitten by a feral Lycan or a weakened rogue, the curse often comes twisted — leaving the new Lycan unstable, sickly, or doomed to madness. That is if they survive the transformation.

✦ Lycan Abilities ✦

✦ Superhuman Strength: Lycanthropes possess immense physical power, far beyond that of a normal human, which makes them formidable in combat.

✦ Heightened Senses: Acute senses of smell, sight, and hearing, allowing them to track prey or detect danger with ease.

✦ Regenerative Healing: Rapid healing of wounds, enabling them to recover from injuries far quicker than humans.

✦ Shapeshifting: Ability to shift between human and wolf forms, or a hybrid of both (werewolf form). Full transformation typically occurs during the full moon, but some Lycans can shift at will.

✦ Savage Instincts: Lycanthropes are driven by primal instincts, often making them volatile, aggressive, and hard to control during moments of stress or danger.

✦ Pack Loyalty: Lycans are social creatures, forming strong bonds with their pack. Loyalty to their pack is paramount, and the strength of the pack often dictates individual power.

✦ Feral Rage: When provoked or threatened, Lycans may enter a state of blind rage, causing them to attack indiscriminately and become difficult to stop.

✦ Vulnerability to Silver: Silver is toxic to Lycans, causing them intense pain and often permanent injury if wounded by it.

✦ Moon Influence: Their power and aggression are often linked to the lunar cycle, with their transformations and abilities being stronger during the full moon.

✦ Longer Lifespan: Lycans tend to live much longer than normal humans, often reaching hundreds of years, although they age more slowly in their human form.

✦ Alpha Dynamics: The pack is typically led by an Alpha, who is the strongest or most dominant Lycan in the group. Challenging for leadership within a pack is common. The Alpha must die or be removed from the pact for a new one to take over.

✦ Immune to Mind Control: Lycans are less susceptible to mind control or manipulation, especially when compared to vampires or other supernatural beings. Though it can happen its much harder to manipulate one especially one in a pact.

Benefits of Being in a Pack:

✦ Strength in Numbers: Packs provide mutual support, increasing the overall power of each member, especially during times of conflict or danger.

✦ Protection: Pack members protect one another from external threats, making it safer to exist in a world filled with supernatural dangers.

✦ Shared Resources: Access to shared territory, food, and information, which makes survival easier.

✦ Increased Status: Pack members gain status and respect through their alliances, with the potential for rank advancement based on loyalty and strength.

✦ Guidance and Mentorship: Newer or younger Lycans are mentored by older, more experienced pack members, learning control over their abilities.

✦ Unity: A pack provides emotional and psychological support, fostering a sense of belonging and loyalty.

✦ Alpha Leadership: Strong leadership from an Alpha ensures clear direction, discipline, and order within the group.

✦ Pack Loyalty: The bond of loyalty can provide a sense of purpose and motivation, as pack members have a direct stake in the pack’s survival and success.

✦ Independence: No need to follow pack rules or an Alpha; total autonomy over one's actions and decisions.

✦ Freedom: No allegiance to a pack means freedom from pack politics, rivalries, or internal power struggles.

✦ Avoidance of Control: No need to submit to an Alpha or other pack hierarchy, allowing for personal freedom and self-determination.

✦ Less Conflict: Avoiding pack dynamics may reduce in-fighting or tension that can arise from competition for rank or leadership.

✦ Unpredictability: As a lone wolf, you may surprise others with your tactics, as you’re not bound by the traditional rules of pack behavior. However you find yourself with less control over your powers and you may end up becoming more animal than man.

✦ Control Over Territory: Without a pack, you have full control over where you roam or establish territory, without having to share it.

Fae

Fae

Fae are bound by old "laws" of promise and a debt — but their words twist like knives holding the power of manipulation over everyone else.

Ancient. Elusive. Dangerous.

The Fae are beings of pure, raw magic — creatures who embody both beauty and terror. Their power stems not from brute force, but from the weaving of reality itself. They are artists, tricksters, and manipulators, shaping Halcyon with whispered bargains, twisted dreams, and ancient rites. The Glamour that shields Halcyon is their greatest creation — a living spell so vast it rewrites the mind, twists memory, and bends space itself. It is the Fae who ensure that Halcyon remains unseen by the mortal world, hidden in plain sight. But power has its price. Every promise a Fae makes binds them, every deal they strike carves invisible chains into their soul.

To bargain with a Fae is to risk losing your mind, your freedom, even your name. They cannot lie — not in the way mortals do. Their words must always hold truth — but the truth can be sharpened, twisted, and woven into snares. A Fae will say exactly what they mean, and still lead you to your own destruction with a smile. Their mischief is legend — light as laughter or cruel as a knife. A misplaced word, a careless acceptance of a gift, even a dance under the wrong moon, can spiral into ruin. For the Fae, rules are weapons. They obey the letter of every law but twist it so deftly that mortals rarely realize they’ve already lost.

Fae Powers & Traits:

✦ Glamourweaving: Masters of illusion and perception, able to cloud minds, alter appearances, or make entire streets disappear into mist.
✦ Reality Distortion: Subtle shifts in space, luck, or even fate itself. Fae can tilt a coin toss, make a bullet miss, or turn a casual glance into obsessive love.
✦ Pact Binding: Every promise spoken by a Fae is enforced by ancient magic. Breaking it can result in madness, physical decay, or a fate worse than death.
✦ Agelessness: Fae do not age like mortals. They exist outside time’s grip, though the Glamour ties them closely to Halcyon's pulse.
✦ Elemental Affinities: Some Fae attune to elements like shadow, mist, thorns, or lightning — minor, localized powers tied to their nature.
✦ Compelled Truths: Fae cannot speak direct lies — but they can deceive through omission, riddles, and half-truths sharpened to a deadly edge.

Weaknesses:

✦ Iron: The touch of cold iron disrupts their magic, burns their skin, and weakens their illusions.
✦ Binding Promises: Once a Fae gives their word, they are magically bound to it. Clever wording is their shield, but a misstep can doom them
.
Fae Feasts — The Forbidden Temptations

Among the oldest and most dangerous Fae enchantments lies the magic of their food and wine. Their offerings are not sustenance — they are weapons. Every bite, every sip, is an invitation to entrapment, binding the unwary into servitude, addiction, or even madness.

Fae Food and Wine Effects:

✦ Enchantment of Yearning: A single bite can spark an endless hunger for more, chaining mortal will to the Fae who offered it.
✦ Dreambinding Elixirs: Fae wines cloud memory, entrap the mind in vivid dreams, or create bliss so perfect the victim never wishes to wake.
✦ Binding Fruits: Blood-plums, golden apples, nightshade berries — all hide spells that twist the eater's loyalty or memory into the Fae’s design.
✦ Glamour Weavings: Certain meals layer glamour over the senses, blurring time, reality, and will.

✦ Survival Tip: Carry salt, iron cutlery, or woven hawthorn charms. And remember — a Fae’s smile is never just a smile.

Wardens

Wardens

Mortal. Outnumbered. Unbreakable.

The Wardens of Halcyon are not just warriors — they are the last crusaders of humanity.

Forged by blood, grief, and sacred vows, they stand against the darkness not merely to defend the city — but to purge it.
Their ultimate goal is nothing less than the survival of humankind and the annihilation of the monstrous.

The Vampires. The Lycans. The Fae.

All are abominations that have no true place in the natural order.

The Pact was a temporary shield — a necessary evil to contain the nightmare.
But it was never meant to be permanent.

The true Wardens fight for a future where no monster hides behind a human face.
Where humanity walks free under a clean sky.
Where the unnatural is wiped away forever.

Until the time is right, they fight in the shadows — preserving the Veil, preventing chaos.
But the dream that burns in their blood is clear:

One day, Halcyon itself must burn — and with it, every monster.

Warden Code — The Sacred Laws

✦ The Glamour must be protected — until the Hour of Reckoning.
✦ The supernatural is a cancer — contained now, eradicated in the future.
✦ Mercy is weakness. Mercy births monsters.
✦ Trust no creature that was born from blood, magic, or nightmare.
✦A Warden who wavers is already lost.

There is no room for sentiment.
No space for sympathy.
Every supernatural spared today becomes another grave tomorrow.

Faction Reputation Among Wardens

✦Vampires: Wretched parasites. Beautiful masks hiding rot and ruin. Must be destroyed.

✦Lycans: Savage beasts. Their loyalty is to blood and violence. No pact can tame the wolf forever.

✦Fae: The most dangerous of all. Their beauty is a weapon. Their bargains are poison. Tolerated only because the Glamour remains, and watched with the sharpest knives.

Warden Powers & Traits:

✦Oathsworn Guardians: Sworn by blood and rite to protect the Glamour and keep Halcyon’s balance intact.
✦ Experimental Enhancements: Use volatile alchemical serums and drug cocktails to temporarily rival supernatural abilities — at terrible personal cost.
✦ Arcane-Tech Weaponry: Steampunk-inspired arms powered by stolen Fae magic and crystal energy cores.
✦ Tactical Brilliance: Masters of asymmetrical warfare, traps, and sabotage.
✦ Iron Will: Hardened against glamour, mental domination, and illusion — their minds are trained to resist supernatural corruption.
✦ Engineering Genius: Innovative creators of deadly hybrid weapons that blend technology with forbidden magic.

Warden Enhancements — Blood for Survival

Desperation breeds innovation. In hidden labs beneath the city, rogue alchemists and engineers forge salvation in the form of volatile serums and experimental devices.

Known Enhancements:
✦ Nightshade-X: Boosts night vision, reflexes, and spatial awareness — side effects include seizures and hallucinations.
✦ Redspire Serum: Grants superhuman strength and pain resistance for a short time; leaves the user broken and vulnerable afterward.
✦ Viper-Veil Injections: Blocks glamour and mind control; causes emotional deadening and memory erosion over time.
✦ Ghostfire Dust: Inhaled powder granting bursts of speed and partial invisibility; addictive and psychologically corrosive.

No enhancement is perfect.

Every drug taken brings a Warden closer to losing their mind, their body, or their soul.

Victory demands sacrifice.
The Wardens accepted that long ago.

Warden Gear — The Engineer’s Arsenal

Human ingenuity fused with stolen magic:
Weapons designed to kill gods.

Standard Equipment:
✦ Thornsteel Nets: Cursed nets made of cold iron and fae-thorn vines, able to entrap even shapeshifters.
✦ Cryo-Shard Rounds: Ice-forged bullets that freeze blood and slow healing.
✦ Echo Rifles: Sonic-powered rifles designed to shatter enchantments and defenses.

Advanced Inventions:
✦ Aegis Mantles: Iron-thread cloaks that repel minor glamour effects and fire magic.
✦ Arclight Lances: Electrified spears that disrupt lycan transformations mid-shift.
✦ Bloodrune Blades: Vampiric rune-etched swords that sever regenerative abilities.
✦ Nullbombs: Detonate to create fields that silence magic and cripple supernatural strength.
✦ Ironfang Pistols: Small arms crafted to fire silver-shard rounds in rapid bursts.
✦ Basilisk Eyes: Anti-glamour monocles revealing hidden illusions and shapeshifters.
✦ Skybreaker Harnesses: Crystal-powered jet packs allowing rooftop-to-rooftop leaps during urban warfare.

Faction Dynamics

✦ Halcyon Faction Dynamics

The Wardens

The Wardens of Halcyon are ancient guardians, bound by oath and blood to protect humanity and uphold the Pact of the Veil — the enchantment that keeps the supernatural hidden from the human world. They do not trust the Fae, nor do they see them as allies — merely necessary evils. Wardens ultimately seek the downfall of all supernatural beings, including the Fae. However, they recognize that destroying the Veil prematurely would unleash monsters on the world again. Thus, they maintain a tense, temporary cooperation with the Fae — but assassination attempts, betrayals, and "accidental" killings between them still happen in the shadows.

The Fae

The Fae disdain the Wardens as crude, short-lived things — but tolerate them to ensure the vampires and lycans remain trapped within Halcyon.

However, Fae are inherently manipulative and capricious: they see Wardens as disposable tools, pawns to be used and discarded when the time is right.

Some rogue Fae delight in twisting Wardens’ minds, binding them to bargains, or leading them into traps.

Despite the political "treaty," blood is still shed between Wardens and Fae regularly.

The Vampires and Lycans

Both Vampire and Lycan factions chafe under their imprisonment.

Though historically bitter enemies, some among them see the Wardens and Fae as a greater common enemy than each other now.

Tenuous alliances, whispered meetings, and forbidden romances bloom in the shadows — but old hatreds die hard.

Pack loyalty and blood lineage remain strong forces. Unity is fragile and easily broken.

The True Nature of Halcyon

Everyone is using everyone.

Treaties are fragile masks — behind them lie ambition, fear, betrayal, and vengeance.

Individuals can defy faction expectations: love across battle lines, betray their own kind, seek peace or bloody revenge.

Halcyon is a beautiful, decaying war zone where trust is a currency rarer than gold.

Werewolf bites are toxic to both Fae and Vampires, carrying a venom that weakens and sickens them over time. Though rarely fatal, the wounds fester unless treated with specific cures. Likewise, vampire bites poison Lycans, causing fever, delirium, and violent bloodlust if left unchecked. Among the factions of The Wardens, these wounds are seen not just as injuries they can be changed or have life threatening consequences if not done appropriately like feeding off a Warden.

Locations

Locations

Locations:

Bars, Clubs, and Food

✦ The Velvet Bite — Supernatural-only glamour lounge. Vampires, fae, lycans — no humans unless "invited." Blood cocktails, whisper deals, dangerous charm.
✦ Ashwell’s Grill — 24-hour dirty fast food diner, famous for its "Double Doom Burger." Humans think it's just bad food — supernaturals know the back booths are for black market deals.
✦ Sundown Diner — Retro 1950s diner where time feels... wrong. Humans love the milkshakes. Lycans come for the rare meat. Wardens share booth meetings under flickering neon.
✦ Taco Bellezza — A cursed offshoot of Taco Bell. Open way too late. Vampires grab cheap tacos to blend in with humans. Occasionally the food is... not what it seems.
✦ Red Widow — Vampire nightclub; glittering death wrapped in velvet and champagne. Humans enter for fame, leave in body bags — or don't leave at all.
✦ QuickStop Market — Gas station and bodega — sells snacks, weapons, and "holy water" that might actually just be vodka. Open 24/7. The night shift guy definitely knows too much.
✦ Halcyon Pizza — The greasiest, cheesiest pizza in the city. A favorite late-night haunt for lycans after full moons and Wardens after a bloody hunt. Vampires order... hold the garlic.
✦ Golden Wok — A Chinese restaurant tucked between two collapsing buildings. The food is real, but some of the "special spices" are not meant for humans. Supernaturals know to order off the hidden menu.
✦ Ink & Iron — Tattoo parlor where humans and supernaturals alike get inked. Some tattoos are laced with fae magic, offering subtle protections... or secret curses.
✦ The Eclipse — A thundering supernatural dance club hidden underground. Glamoured entrances, flashing neon, heart-pounding beats. Lycans howl, vampires seduce, fae weave chaos on the dancefloor.
✦ The Gilded Hare — A Fae café and restaurant known for food that shimmers, glows, and enchants. The desserts can make you laugh uncontrollably, fall in love, or dance until your legs give out. The music never stops, and neither do the secret deals struck over glittering wine and silver plates. Humans stumble in sometimes... and forget their lives by morning.

✦ Human-Dominant but Tainted Locations

✦ Silverleaf Mall — Looks like a dying suburban mall. Inside: fake perfume stands, empty arcades, forgotten escalators... and sometimes a Fae black market on the third floor after hours.
✦ Neon Lanes Bowling Alley — Cheap beers, dripping ceilings, ancient arcade machines. Lycans sometimes get into fistfights here. Staff turns a blind eye.
✦ Halcyon General Hospital — Humans think it's a struggling hospital. Wardens know some floors are off-limits — and that's where supernatural patients "disappear."
✦ Urban Grind Café — A dingy coffee shop that serves the best espresso in town. Warden meetups, lycans drinking three cups before a full moon, and Fae gossip disguised as poetry readings.
✦ Last Call Liquor — Grimy liquor store. Wardens stock up here. Vampires sometimes buy a bottle just to keep up appearances. Fae use the bathroom mirror to cross realms.

✦ Secret and Dangerous Spots

✦ The Spillway — Half-flooded tunnels under the city, home to things better left unnamed. Blood sometimes runs through the water here.
✦ The Sinking Library — A drowned place of forbidden knowledge. Human scholars tend to disappear if they read the wrong books.
✦ The Hollow Sanctum — Forgotten cathedral where Fae hold forbidden rites. A place that even vampires fear to tread.
✦ Mirage Market — Fae black market hidden between subway stations that no longer exist.
✦ Blood Market Row — Shady market alley where Wardens, lycans, and vampires barter for cursed items, rare blood, fae relics — if you can pay the price.
✦ Shroud Avenue — Old shopping strip full of abandoned salons, vape shops, pawn shops — some still active if you know the password.

✦ Faction Territories

✦ The Gutterbane — Werewolf territory. Abandoned industrial parks and rusting shipyards where packs rule through blood and loyalty. Trespassing here means you'll be lucky to leave with your limbs.
✦ The Black Spire — Vampire mafia stronghold. An abandoned luxury skyscraper fortified with layers of glamour, private security, and old blood magic. Deals are struck here... and debts are paid in screams.
✦ Thornmere Hollow — The ancient heart of the Fae in Halcyon. A mist-choked park full of gnarled silver trees, ruins, black ponds, and shifting pathways. Time moves strangely here, and so do memories. It is forbidden for outsiders to tread without invitation. There is a twisted, beautiful stretch of crooked Victorian houses and little shops, hidden behind an illusion of boarded-up streets. Each home belongs to an ancient Fae family or rogue fae lords. The doors don't always lead where you expect — and the rent is very steep.
✦ The Bastion — Warden stronghold. An old brick firehouse, long "abandoned" by the city. Beneath it lies an armory, archives of monster knowledge, and safehouses. It’s Halcyon's worst-kept secret... but protected fiercely all the same.

Beyond The Veil Interest Check

I just want to make everyone aware: I am interested in joining this, however I am scheduled for shoulder surgery in a couple weeks and won’t be able to use both hands to type for about 6 weeks after.

@Sadie

No problem at all!
