Name: Mithias Aldaric Varomere
Age: 733
Appearance: I can never find a good picture of Mithias. Suffice it to say he looks mostly like this guy. He is 6'2", very long straight black hair, white skin, and vivid yellow/golden eyes. He looks about 26-36 years old. His nails are also white and clawlike. He doesn't spend any time in the public eye, so he is usually dressed in something durable. If outside in the day, he'd have a wide brimmed hat or hood, usually everything is black. Has steel vambraces.
Bio: It was the decline of the era of the Templar knights. The holy land had been lost, more than once, and the Turks had forced the order entirely out of the Middle East. Despite a blackening name and recent losses in war, the Templars were actually quite successful on another front. The order served God, King, and Pope not just in defending lands, but in defending humanity itself. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, The Templar Knights had a secretive sect that was specifically charged with hunting down supernatural beings. Witches, undead, abhorrent spirits, were wolves, and of course vampires, were their targets. "Vampire hunters," if you will, took their orders directly from His Holiness. Their ranks were usually filled by family members alone, yet rarely a gifted outsider would pass initiation.
Mithias was a young man, a hunter, a squire, and also soon to be a father. He lived in a small town in Germany, near the boarder with France. One day, he attracted the attention of a powerful vampire, because he questioned his purpose. Rather than killing a young vampire, as his order commanded of him, he secretly let her go. Witnessing that incident, the elder vampire took an interest in him, leading him on futile chases into the wilderness. Mithias never had any chance of catching him, and eventually, they began having conversations. The human was an interesting subject. The vampire tricked him into bonding himself to him and toyed with his morality. The conclusion of this little dance however was rushed the day the Templars were abolished.
It was Friday the 13th, October, when Mithias' life was turned upside down. The Pope had denounced them. Knights and anyone associated with them were being attacked, killed, their lands and gold confiscated, and their families imprisoned on suspicion of heresy and treason. Mithias fled but could not stop his pregnant wife from being taken. Knowing she would be tortured and imprisoned he was desperate for help. Immediately he turned to the only one he knew who might aid him, the mysterious one in the woods at night who existed above all this human mayhem.
In short, the vampire delighted in Mithias' plea. The formed an unwritten pact of blood and Mithias was given the power to save his family. He rescued his wife and saw her to safety and protected her. He killed anyone in his path.
Time went by. It was difficult to be a father for the child, as you can imagine, but Mithias was ever grateful. However, he soon discovered his maker was a fickle, selfish creature who lived for amusement and satisfaction, and this conflicted with Mithias' still-human beliefs. Still, the sire never oppressed Mithias. He gave him freedom as a new vampire to the world. Yet, due to ideological differences, they parted ways.
As a vampire Mithias preoccupies himself with the activities of his descendents and keeping track of them. He has come to value all human life over the ages, seeing them as potential kin. He has established himself financially several times over and is glad that new technology allows for the voluntary collection of blood and easy travel of great distances. Through various means, he sees the red cross well funded. In his protective role, he's continued his former life's mission of hunting down the sinister when necessary and has inadvertently earned a name for himself in the supernatural world.
Personality: Mithias' is seriously lacking a sense of humor. He's honest and honorable, but is missing out on a lot of "fun" as an immortal because of it. He would disagree however, citing his enjoyment of following his distant family and the beauty of nature. He doesn't revel in bloodshed or war at all, but accepts death as a natural part of life with no regrets.
Powers: Totally immunity to supernatural mind-affecting powers. Mithias' mental abilities have manifested inwards into an impenetrable wall. His mind cannot be read. He can chose to block out telepathic messages. He is unaffected by influence or suggestion or illusions. His emotions can't be altered. Trying turns out to be completely futile. He honed this power to perfection for good reason.
Mithias also has a weaker secondary power, which is the ability to control heat. He can concentrate, disburse, and direct the kinetic energy of molecules as heat. He can start and put out fires, and he could also make something extremely cold. This ability can be used through walls, but has a range limit.
Side: Mithias is neutral between humans and vampires. He believes all beings have spirits or souls that are strengthened and deepened by life and experience. He doesn't consider humans to be special in their vulnerability. They are clearly capable of great evil, but he chalks it up to their ignorance and short lifespans. Nor does Mithias believe vampires are inherently superior beings, yet he revers elders who have attained great wisdom. Mithias would be angered by unnecessary slaughter in either direction. For this thread, he would side with SOLDIER who is officially charged with peacekeeping.
Weapons: Mithias may or may not be carrying any and/or all of the following:
Two FN Five-seven's with armor piercing rounds. Modern, synthetic compound bow with poisoned arrows (more on that later) Bolas, nylon cables. Smoke grenades Flash grenades Twin titanium-alloy katana-like swords with uniquely designed clip-fastening device on hips/belt. A simple whip, coiled against his lower back. Three barbed daggers designed to get stuck in the flesh of the enemy and continuously drain blood through a groove down the middle of the blades. These are named daggers.
Skills: Mithias loves driving, and this extends from cars, to heavy machienery, to aircraft. Horesback riding, swordsmanship, and archery are a given. He's also become good with guns and basic computer knowledge. Like most vampires, he has financial savvy and is an investor as an official occupation... albeit under a false name. He has reasons for knowing a fair amount of chemistry and can speak several European languages.
Flaws: Obviously, Mithias can't blend in with humans, except perhaps at goth rave parties. He hates rave music. He also can't read minds, and can't influence another's thoughts, emotions, or use any type of mind control. He can fall for a good liar.
Fears: Mithias has an irrational fear of losing his family members, of them being wiped out without his continual, stealthy vigilance. The fact is, it's been so many generations since his only son began a family, that his human bloodline covers like a dozen countries. He's vexed that he can't follow them all anymore, but does what he can in the United States currently. His other fear is that his mysterious maker will return to the world and/or go completely insane. His sire was already partly insane, in his opinion, and therefore very dangerous, and probably always had been. A mere bad mood of his could result in the decimation of a population, a plague, entire cities burning... If Mithias ever grew powerful enough to stop him, would he?

Compact.
noun
1. a formal agreement between two or more parties, states, etc.; contract:
the proposed economic compact between Germany and France.
This is a modern version of the world where there are vampires. There have always been vampires, but somewhere a hundred or two years ago, the species were officially confirmed to exist, rather than just being rumors and legends. It turns out werewolves are real too.
Initially, there was misunderstanding and war between humans and supernaturals, but eventually a worldwide group was formed to enforce peace between them. It was called SOLDIER.
SOLDIER consisted of both humans and a few vampires who fought to promote peace. They enforce the "Blood Compact," which basically states that nobody can kill anybody on either side. Vampires obviously have a lot more trouble with this, so SOLDIER usually ends up going after vampire contract-breakers. Humans are obviously easier to catch and can be held for trial, etc. Vampires... if they are too dangerous, get executed. Such is life.
In the USA, SOLDIER is strong and keeps the peace. It's mostly run by humans and is rumored among vampire kind to be corrupt. Mithias is a vampire who worked for them for a very long time. There was a recent rebel vampire attack on Kilo Point SOLDIER base in Tennessee. Lady Mohowauuck, an oldblood vampire of the Native American people, and Hale, a werewolf reject, were involved with the uprising.
Lord Bedivere is the secret hand that rules the United Kingdom behind the scenes. The UK is said to be "free of vampires," except for a few that are supposedly registered and obedient to the law, etc. It's really a country run by vampires in secret. Bedivere is an old knight of Camelot, which has an interesting lore in this rp as an ancient vampire kingdom, long story.
Then there's also the Purge. Purge is like the KKK. They hate everybody, they are purists and zealots and want to obliterate all non-humans off the planet. They exist in all countries, and get funding, weapons, and support from a lot of backdoor vampire haters. The do terrorist attacks, will kill humans who side with vampires, and often have some very anti-vampire tech weapons.
Werewolves in this RP live in the extreme north and are very territorial and pack oriented. They don't tend to venture south into human territory, don't tend to be alone, and value strength and fitness among themselves and their enemies. They have very long lifespans but are not immortal, they can be turned or give birth to new werewolves. A half-werewolf is a still a werewolf, and there could be vampire werewolves.
You can play a human, a werewolf, a hybrid, a vampire, and chose to side with whatever fact you wish. You can be completely freelance too. I'm also allowing scifi technology, machines, vehicles, weapons, cyborgs, and robots. Knock yourself out.
Recently, there was a secret meeting of the elder vampires, the lords of each bloodline, and they are deciding whether or not to enslave humanity. We're taking the story from that point.
Be as powerful as you want. I'll cap it if I think it's too crazy, but ask for whatever. My only stipulation is to try to keep things "believable." ie. pick powers that have some kind of sciency-bullshit explanation for how they work. No unicorns, fairies, dragons, complete invisibility, or teleportation. Now, I know we already have characters who seriously bend these rules, but just ask for what you want.
In general, holy shit works on vampires. Every bloodline is different. Most vampires can handle sunlight.

Personally, I liked initially playing the counter to a group of badass rebel vampires that wanted to take over the world. But we've lost our players of these said characters. I suppose now I play a more pro-vampire type of vampire, and it would be fun to play against any vampire hunters, Purge, and Soldier agents who think they are heroes. That being said, I do hope we can continue to have players on different factions. I want to fuckup Purge agents and thwart Soldier's attempts at controlling vampire kind. There are also oldblood vamps to teach lessons to or run from. I'm also considering growing the family. If Akje wants to throw in some weird artifact to fight over, that's cool too.
Can I get a vote from each of the active players on whether or not we want a new thread, same story, same point in time, same title, but with Me and new co-gm's?
A. Yes
B. No.
A. Yes
B. No.
I'm going after this vampire hunter to try to involve more players. Ilusia and Martin can come with, or wait for Bedivere's wrath... or the bombs... idk.
Mithias didn't have a soul to look into. All that could be perceived was a void of blackness. "He's just a human, Ilusia, and I am beginning to think he is insane. Nonetheless, his presence here means we have been discovered. This council may have to wrap things up very quickly." Mithias exchanged a look with one of the vampire servants, who got the message to relay to Bedivere about the castle being in danger. The poor sap was probably going to die for delivering that message. Mithias looked back to the others. "Do what you want with this one. I'm going after his friend in the RV." Just down the road was a dead RV with a very unprepared vampire hunter in it.
