This is War...

     


Many moons ago Mithlomwen started a game (co-GMed by Kyrsa and Falanor) that centered on a werewolf pack that had a vampire coven move in adjacent to their lands. The setting for the RP was Inverness, Scotland. The game was jolly amazing and HockeyGod and Lux89 have rebooted it with the original GMs' permission. The premise of the game shall remain the same. From the words of the great Mith...




Setting...

Inverness, Scotland

"Nestled on a hill in the woods in the outlying area of Inverness Scotland, a Gothic castle stands out in stark contrast to the trees surrounding it.  The ancestral home for a pack of werewolves, they had lived and died there for countless centuries, under the rule of the Alpha.  It was the perfect place for such creatures, tucked in amongst the lore and legend of Loch Ness, no one would even notice a pack of werewolves living right under their noses for centuries.  Or so they thought...

There were rumors floating around that the humans had begun to become suspicious about the 'family'.  Word had gotten back to the pack that humans were starting to piece together different things of the family history, and were beginning to put two and two together, the suspicion that their was something quite different about the 'family' occupying Lochlomand castle.

Now their semi peaceful existence is being threatened by the possibility of being discovered by the humans, and a turf war about to erupt along their borders.  A coven of vampires has moved into the area, their coven bordering the werwolf's territory.  They have moved in as close as they possibly can to the werewolf borders, but not so close as to encroach on their territory......yet.

The coven bent on killing the long standing Alpha of the werewolf pack, thereby, hopefully, throwing the pack into chaos, leaving the territory unguarded long enough to allow for them to then take over and making it their own.

Not an easy task to be sure, but the elder vampire and coven leader is both wise and crafty and has formulated a plan to put things in motion to do just that.  The Alpha would die, and the territory would be theirs, it was only a matter of time....."





Some details...

We frankly can't say it better than Mith did in her original creation of the game. Here is some modified language to give you an idea...

This will be a free form game (modern day setting), the story taking place from the view of the vampires and werewolves, and possibly the occasional human, or other mythical creatures. The vampires are scheming to kill the Alpha and then take over the werewolves' territory.  There is the possibility of much deliciousness for plot twists and turns, as well as wonderful interactions between the two groups ranging from fighting to lust filled encounters.  Romance, intrigue, drama, sex and violence are all wonderful possibilities.
Please keep in mind that this is a game in which longer replies will be required.  There may be times that shorter replies are needed, but if you are prone to writing replies of  less than a paragraph, this probably isn't the game for you.

Some other things to keep in mind.  There will be cross gender writers in this group, so anyone applying must be open to that.  No one will be forced to write with anyone, but since there will be that element involved, players should at least be comfortable with it.

The game will be taking place in the Extreme section of the boards to allow for what ever sort of interaction the writers want to have take place.  Not everything involved will be extreme in nature, and those story arcs containing extreme material will be labeled as such, but prospective players must be at least comfortable being in a game that will contain such elements.

The nature of this game will be very dark, thus the vampires will NOT be of the Twilight variety.  So anyone interested in playing a vampire will need to know that there will be no sparkly vampires allowed. The basic idea for the tone is similar to the Anita Blake novels.




FAQs...

What types of characters can I play?
Initially you can have up to 2 characters. Characters can be vampire, werewolf, human (unaffiliated, coven-affiliated, or pack-affiliated), or other. Other requires GM permission. Vampires and werewolves at this point area ALL affiliated with the coven and/or pack. No solitary paranormals at this point in the game. Take a look at a detailed write up of the different types.

How do I submit a character for review?
You can complete the character sheet and post it in this thread. You can also PM the sheet to HockeyGod and Lux89.

What is the posting frequency?
Generally posting starts off quite rapid and then could taper off a little. The posting requirement is at least twice a week. If an extended absence makes it difficult to meet this requirement, the GMs should be notified.

Do the paranormal rules follow any particular canon?
No, not entirely. Anything to know about the paranormals can be found in the detailed write up of the different types. This is not the angsty tween paranormals of the Twilight saga. We're moving more into adult territory.  >:)

What if I've been in the game in the past, can I use my character?
Absolutely you can use your former character. You might have to make some adjustments based on relationships with new characters. What you cannot do is use someone else's created character without their explicit permission.




Interested?

Let us know by posting here. If we get enough interest, we'll go into full force making this a bang up RP.  ::)

We have more pups than leeches in the game so far... not that the werewolves would complain, I'm sure! Although more vamps does mean more work for my character. Or maybe that's just job security? >_>

Pessimism or Optimism??

Is there any interest in a sort of... neutral ground? I was musing over the idea of a human owning a space declared neutral ground where there wasn't any fighting. Not sure how much socializing between 'sides' is expected/desired. Bonus points if I can give him any way to actually enforce/justify having a neutral ground (enchanted space, character having magic or rituals, etc).

No big deal if that's not desired -- can easily think of something else. That was just the first thought!

I think that is interesting. Right now the only "neutral ground" is the ruins and that's because it is haunted by a banshee lol.

I think this is something to explore. Perhaps lux89 has some thoughts on it too, but he's away currently. Were you thinking someone like the owner of the Pub? That would be a natural neutral space.

PS - I owe posts to you and have hung my head in shame ;)

Lockepick

I'm not familiar with what 'The Pub' is -- but I'm open to exactly what kind of establishment would be the 'neutral ground'. I figure bigger/crowded makes more sense, but I'm certainly willing to take GM guidance on this.

We have a Pub and no one is the owner yet: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291291.0

It is in the town so paranormals would have to be fairly careful so as to not reveal themselves.

Lockepick

Ah! Gotcha. Well I'm happy to take that over -- either as a new owner or an existing owner. Or if it's welcome/preferred, I can make something new. I can talk about more details if we all agree that's the way we want to go -- but I can wait for Lux to weigh in.

Yes yes! Shoot us a bio, I'm liking the direction you're going!

Deathnote

The concept of the neutral ground pub intrigues me.  Would I have to be an unaffiliated human to work there or can I play an unaffiliated paranormal?

lux89

Mmm I'm curious about that, a lone wolf or vamp... Curious! I will wait and see what HockeyGod says!
Could be interesting in a neutral ground pub as well. I would say go ahead and start, shoot us a bio.
I'm loving all the characters so far, yours sound it could be another awesome perspective of the war :D

I think an unaffiliated paranormal is an option, but would likely cause the pack or coven to be quite nervous! ;)

I believe Lockepick is going to take the pub owner as a human - you could work for him!

FC: Travis DesLaurier
Name: Torgeir Eklund

Race: Vampire

Position: N/A

Physical appearance: Blonde hair, blue eyes, and covered in tattoos. His hair is buzzed on the sides and long and feathered on top. His features are Scandinavian, and being a vampire, they are from an age long deep in the history books. Over time, he has since adapted his style with the ever-changing ages. Black gauges are in his ear lobes, large enough for a pen to pass through them. He stands at 6’2” and weighs 205 lbs with a lean and athletic build.

Character bio: Torgeir can barely remember how he awoke as a vampire. He remembers lying on the battlefield dying. The cold was closing in, and he thought in his last moments that a Valkyrie would soon come and save him. Like crows, shadows hovered the battlefield, lurking over the corpses that made the frosty night stink. A silhouette of a woman stood over him. The Valkyrie came that night, but she did not take him to Valhalla—or did she?

Personality: Torgeir over the years has picked up a dark sense of humor. Death; war; suffering; having seen the wheel of time turn, he grew numb to it all. Life was what you make of it, and he likes to see it in an entertaining way. Life is amusing and so are all those involved in its game. He is ruthless with a smile, an executioner without sympathy. Torgeir has no issue with handling dirty jobs. There was nothing too dirty for him.

Sexual orientation: Pansexual

Pre-arranged associations: Open

Other notes of interest about the character: Torgeir has an old long sword by the name of Gramr (Fierce). It isn’t his main weapon for executing enemies, but he has been known to carry it sometimes. Collecting weapons has been a hobby of his for years, but Gramr was the sword he wielded before he turned and has a very special place in his black heart.

Ahem.

I'm gonna try to get started on a Sheet today. I'm still researching what's with the setting and looking for an in.

Edit:
I have narrowed on a concept of sorts, but I have a question before starting Sheet('s). Would the GM's see it as poor form in this game to create two related characters, in this case brothers?

Black Howling


Faceclaim: Levi Stocke

Name: Ross Farland

Race: Werewolf

Position:

Physical appearance: Tall, stocky and tattooed, Ross is as intimidating as he is big. He's got dense brown hair on his face and head, matching his eyes toe for toe to complete the look. His state of dress stays casual most days, preferring more durable fabrics for his work.

Character bio: Ross's dad was an American Aircraft pilot and mechanic during the horrors of the first world war. While he never bothered to get details on the whole story, apparently at one point or another, he fell for one of the wolves in the pack and was brought in. It was a year later, and just shortly after the war ended, that Ross was born. The first of two children the pair would have. His little brother Rory came a few years after, but eh, that's an entirely different story.

Ross grew up with the pack, learning mechanics from his father who took care of most of those needs. It was on the way here from Sweden that things went bad for them, and an accident along the way proved fatal for he and his brother's parents. Taking it hard, he just tried to muscle through, eventually finding some solace working with his hands once they got to Inverness. Now he owns a decent tow and repair business in the area, working with his brother ofcourse.

Personality: Aggressive, cynical and rough around the edges. Those are most often used words to describe the big man, but luckily that isn't all there is to him. While rough, he 's not mean, and more than that he's loyal to a fault. Always someone that can be counted on, even if it comes with a grunt or a growl, he'll be there.

Sexual orientation: Bi-sexual.

Pre-arranged associations:
His brother, and business partner Rory.

Other notes of interest about the character:
Master Mechanic
Has tow truck, and a good front.
Isn't afraid to use it to help clean up pack messes.

Played by: Black Howling

Black Howling


Faceclaim: Andre Hamann
Name: Rory Farland

Race: Werewolf

Position: N/A

Physical appearance: Tall and handsome with an athletic physique, Rory ends up having a similar look to his brother. He's got light brown hair, hazel eyes, and hair in all the right places. His clothing is still that of what you'd expect from a mechanic, but tends to be nicer and well maintained than let's say, his brother.

Character bio: Rory is the second son fathered by Roger Farland, and has always been the more wild child of the bunch. While his brother was off learning mechanics, he was getting into every sort of trouble he could. In fact, it was like that was his middle name or something. He still learned the "Family Trade", but never had the passion for it that he had for other things. Especially once puberty hit and those other things started being people.

While this has slowed over the years, a spike was seen when he and his brother's parents died. In recent years, he's settled his tone some, but still likes to let loose on any occasion that he can. He works with his brother at the shop, but knowing his brother's skills trump his own, he's given him the lead on it and acts more like an employee than partner most of the time.

Personality: Outgoing, Upbeat and full of energy. All words that accurately describe Rory. Almost always with a smile or smirk on his face, he can come off as a Joker, but deep beneath his commitment issues, he has the same loyalty his brother possesses. It's just in limbo right now.

Sexual orientation: Pansexual

Pre-arranged associations: Ross, his brother and business partner.

Other notes of interest about the character:
Can drive anything with wheels.

Chantarelle

Hi. I’d like to play...

Name: Emrafah Hyzenthlay

Race: Vampire

Position: N/A

Physical appearance: 5’8.5 ft tall, light brown eyes with flecks of black, dark brown hair.

Character bio:She was a touring ballerina once. Raised in New York but trained in Russia, Emrafah was destined for great things...once.

She had fans, amazing fans who would diligently come to all her performances when she happened to be in town. But one admirer proved vastly more devoted than any of the others.

She noticed him after a performance in Prague while she was taking her bows. He sat in the front row but never clapped. After that she saw him everywhere, in every city. Always in the front row, always never clapping.

One night she was leaving the theatre to join her troupe for a celebratory drink when the man from the front row assaulted her and abducted her. She was only 19.

For ten years he tortured her in every imaginable way and at the end of it he turned her, after which, he fled. He left her there, discarded, altered and brand new. A fledging vampire driven mad.

Personality: Volatile, impulsive, unpredictable, prone to vice

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

Played by: Chantarelle
“If all we have is this imagined empty canvas of endless possibility...this potential heaven...then let it be our haven. A place of marriage between two souls desperate to feel something beyond the cruel tedium of real life. If we truly be the masters who dream these dreams then let our innermost desires fuel the adventures we create and the love that we make here, let it all unfold endlessly or for only a brief moment in time but for as long as it breathes let it devour and I will forgive your boldness if you will be so good as to forgive me mine...” ~ Chantarelle

Just a friendly nudge! The wolves are out-numbered by vamps, and the humans are out-numbered by all parties. Also; there are still quite a few single lady characters in the came! ;) (And some hot fellas, if you prefer those!)

NEW FACTION ADDED! Witches and wizards have been living in Inverness, Scotland, little did the vamps and wolves know~

Werewolves
Three known forms:  Human, Wolfman and Wolf.

Werewolves are either created after surviving an attack or born with at least one werewolf parent. In the attack, they actually have to be fully bitten in order to be infected. Werewolf abilities that are born with (rather than created) lay dormant until puberty, so that the body is more physically mature and can handle heightened strength and senses. They are faster and stronger than Humans, their senses exceedingly acute. Silver bullets that stay inside the body can kill a Werewolf. However, just like vampires the more powerful they are, the harder it is to kill them. If wolfsbane was ingested by a Werewolf, then it is poisonous.

In order to heal quickly they must shift into a form other than Human. They can shift at will, but it is exhausting to switch back and forth often. During the full moon, newly turned Werewolves or Werewolves that have not shifted will be unable to stop from doing so. Once the first shift has taken place, the full moon gives them a stronger urge to change forms, an urge they can resist if they wanted to. Strong emotions will spur on the need to change forms. So when a Werewolf is under the influence of a powerful emotion there might be slight changes in appearance, such as eye color change, deepening voice, elongating teeth, until they are able to gain control of the emotion once more. Werewolves feel emotion more strongly than any other creature.  So when a Werewolf is either angry, or sad, or passionate about something, the emotion is amplified making it harder for them to control the different emotions, especially the stronger ones.

Unlike Vampires, most Werewolves are active and viable members of the Human community, holding down jobs and making friends among them as they hide what they truly are. They have the full range of Human emotions but they are predators.  This being said, as a whole, they are more likely to think of Humans as more equal than Vampires do.


Vampires
Four known forms:  Human, Batman, Mist, and Bat.

Vampires cannot be in sunlight, lest they combust. Crosses, holy water, and other holy symbols have an effect only on Vampires if they are wielded by a true believer. Silver Bullets can kill a Vampire, but the more powerful the Vampire is, the more damage they can take. A stake to the heart does nothing but piss the Vampire off unless it's made of silver. Garlic has no effect.

Without human blood a Vampire will slowly waste away until they are walking husks, finally slipping into a coma-like state until they are given blood or sense prey within reach. When they have not fed, a Vampire's skin is cold to the touch and pale with no blush or color to it. Once they have fed, their skin can be warm if they wish and coloring takes on a more Human hue. They are faster, stronger and have better senses than Humans do. Vampires can fascinate their chosen prey, leaving them with vague impressions and confusion when they are done if they do not choose to kill their victim. Their bite is pleasurable unless they choose for it not to be. After an instant of pain, they can cloud the mind and make it a sensual and erotic experience. Not all Vampires choose to be that kind. Above all else, remember that Vampires are predators. They are meant to inspire fear and enjoy what they are. They can feel the full Human range of emotions, however they do not think of any other creature as equal to them, they believe they are the top of the food chain. To become a Vampire a Human must be near death from being drained of blood and feed upon a Vampire's blood; doing this is a successfully contaminated blood transfusion.


Human: Non-affiliated

A Human without any affiliation will almost always have no idea what goes bump in the night. They can suspect but not know the truth. A hunter/slayer is the exception to the rule and playing a hunter must be passed through a GM. This type of Human will likely become affiliated in one way or another fairly quickly.

Human: Pack Affiliated

These are Humans who know about the supernatural denizens of Inverness and for whatever reason have associated themselves with the Werewolves. In cases these are family members, friends, or lovers of people who have been turned into Werewolves, supporting the pack as a way to maintain the ties they had originally. They help Werewolves to hide what they truly are, closely guarding the secrets of the pack members and doing things for the pack that would risk a pack member being discovered.

Human: Coven Affiliated

These are Humans who know about the supernatural denizens of Inverness and for whatever reason have associated themselves with the Vampires. In many cases these are family members, friends, or lovers of people who have been turned into Vampires, supporting the Coven as a way to maintain the ties they had originally. They can also be Blood Dolls (food) or slaves of the Coven or individual Vampires to be arranged by the respective players. Can also be bound servants.  This is a bond that allows the Vampire in question to emotionally and mentally manipulate a Human beyond the normal level, binding them together. These servants are usually called Daywalkers, the Humans trusted enough to do things for the Coven or individual Vampires during daylight hours while their Master(s) sleep.

Human: Magic Affiliated

Magicians, merlins, wizards, witches, and hags are living humans, above age of seventeen. Rites are the only method. No wands, gestures, or chants. Enchanted objects and areas only. Requisites are: a pint of untainted human blood, real silver, sigils, and 3 hours for it to charge fully. Stronger or longer effect if the enchantment was left charging in direct sunlight. (Solarized.) Tampering with blood, silver, and/or sigils can destroy the magic. If it was solarized, it is not easily destroyed. Craft must be written before using enchanted objects/areas. No shortcuts. No celestial, elemental, or bodily manipulation. (Fire, water, earth, air, lightning/electricity, ice, snow, light, darkness, any manifest is an element. These cannot be used or created.) Blessed school of magic is for safe zones like the Pub; preventing entry or violence. Cursed school of magic is for trap zones; preventing exit or restoration. Other schools of magic will be specified. Big rites like the Pub (due to size of influence, permanence in time) require solarization and more than one magician to complete. Small rites (small size, short duration) can be crafted individually. Rites take stamina, much like running uphill and swimming upriver. Best made one at a time at different times through the day/night, after enough food and rest. Ignorant Humans, Werewolves, and Vampires could be nervous and suspect something weird in the room but since no sparks fly, no hand nor mouth moves, they can't quite place it.

Other notes concerning Humans

Affiliated and non-affiliated Humans alike can be converted to another race, but only if the Human's writer is agreeable to this.  It should be discussed prior between the writers involved and then passed through one of the GMs, so that there isn't a huge difference in the numbers of Vampires and Werewolves. Please make sure that if your character wishes to 'attack' one of the Humans, that you first clear it with the other writer since we want to avoid 'godmodding' other people's characters.

Hmmm...excellent question! We're really open at this point. I would recommend to pick a werewolf or vamp and not a human.

Human druids would be awesome just as well, as there's only two so far (both mine hehe)
but for now a character taking a side in the war would be epicly involved at this point ;D

And wow Eros, I like your submission ~  HockeyGod or I will message you asap!
