Darth NeoVenom Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I just remember that Selene says to Michael in Underworld, "No mortal can be bitten by both races..." something like that. Underworld is a good movie, they make Werewolves and Vampires look cool. I think if a vampire loses all of his/her blood, they die. On another note, Viktor looked old because he was like 1000+ years old. I guess when like 5 centuries pass by, Vampires begin to age. LoL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 I never said vampires could survive getting stabbed in the heart with a steak If their organs get trashed regeneration is impossible. And a virus element is only usued to transform them, I think I said someting earlier about the vampirism being a virus, but forget that. Vampires are just totally different creatures from humans. And a virus is used to transform people into vampires. But the vampirism itself is not a virus. And Victor just went into like hybernation or whatever. He went into a dormant stage where he was alive but suspended. Nothing supernatural about it. And feeding his suspended body, re-animated it. well I'm enjoying this discussion, it's helping us all narrow down on what we're acctually writing about. So to further understand what your writing about just keep them questions coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Well if we're carrying on this way, then I'll go ahead and probe! If vampirism isn't a virus...and vampires just...exist...why do they look so much like humans, and how does a virus turn humans into vampires?

Mandalorian54 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Haha, probe away. But truth be told I didn't sit down and plot it all out. Vampires don't acctually exist so niether does a meathod, but you can look at it from the way that in Resident evil the T-virus turns people into Zombies. Except in this they regenerate and are intelligent. They look like humans because their creater chose them too. After all, why do humans look like humans? Because that's the way their creator chose. And if you belive in evolution you could say Vampires evolved...but I'm going to stop right there, I'm not going to get into that so lets not even go there. Is that acceptable though?

Kuuki Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 obviously i didnt mean like *Stab in heart, POOF vampire = ash* I ment like usualy a stake in the heart is a mortal wound to a vampire where stake can be anything from wooden to steel anywho, isn't it more like if the main part of the vampire's circulatory system is damaged pretty bad (IE a gaping hole or an object passing through the heart), then regeneration is harder, in which the vampire bleeds to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Right, so how are vampires meant to die without being in direct sunlight? Am I to understand that in the dark they are entirley invincible? Is so, why then is the human race still around without them all being turned or farmed for their blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 haha, woah woah I thought I said like in Underworld when he says "they've simply penetrated his organs, regeneration is impossible at this point." That if you seriously damage their organs they can't regenerate, and if you chopped off their head or chopped their body in half naturally they'dd die. Basically, anything that would be considered a mortal wound to a human, a vampire might barely survive. Anything that would kill a human instantly....like getting a huge whole blown out of his chest by a shotgun from point blank range...would be a mortal wound to a vampire. And anything extreme like getting his head chopped off, would be an instant death. This should be obvious by the number of vampires of mine that have died. Like being blown up by a grenade, or a claymore frog? ------------ Now, Tepe, I'm a little curious about your apparently invisible lizards. You said they were cameleons that they could change the color of their skin, not that they could go invisible. Can they only change the color of thier skin? Or can they make it so their skin reflects what's behind it so that it apears to not even be there and when it moves it's skin changes to match it's background? Or does it just change to another color? And can they change the color of their clothes? Or are they naked? As in no body armor either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I meant with the chameleon thing, that their skin can go to a colour and design of a brick wall. If you look closer, you can see the eyes. you can allso see the figure of the vest's and jacket's because they havn't invented yet those kinds of vests that could change all over like the chameleon blooded lizardmen. So you CAN see them if you have VERY good eyes that many don't have. Especially from humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Well, it doesn't seem to me that it would be possible for you to sneak up and kill two vampires like that without being seen. Even if you change the color of your skin, whatever weapon you took out would be seen, and whatever clothes they were wearing would be seen, even if the lizardmen themselves were not seen...wouldn't they?

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yeah, but if I remember correctly, they had only vest's... I think... If not, I'll change my post in the roleplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 The Bazetuu is actually the name of a D'n'D demon clan. So, basically, here's how the demon works out: Height: Approx 2metres Appearance: Naturally, red humanoids with bat-like wings. Can shapeshift human form, though not brilliant at it. Pros: Able to fly in demonic form, very powerful melee claws Cons: Exceedingly weak to silver. Takes a day to be able to travel through the planes.

Mandalorian54 Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 hmm...I don't know what you mean by planes. I was thinking of how dracula would vanish and apear behind you type of thing. Which seemed...well it didn't seem to fit. But what your talking about doesn't seem so bad. Anyway Okay we all need to talk about something...er type. This story has a purpose, it has a path, and it has an end. No one has to loose the war at the end of this story, but only one person can win this battle. Personally I don't intend to win. I don't intend to win the battle, and I don't intend to win the war, I just intend to have a more complicated role than simply the battle and the war. Basically, I'm focusing more on my individual character's turn outs rather than the victory or loss of my faction. And that's what everyone needs to do. It's not about our factions' winings or loosings, it's about our characters' experiences in the war. So, everyone needs to predetermine to a certain point (Only you can determine that for yourselves) what's going to happen to your characters, or what you want to happen to your characters. And you need to think of it from both perspectives, weathor your faction wins or looses. Everyone's going to loose some battles at least. But that doesn't determine how much fun your going to have. So rather than just posting blindly as you may or may not be doing, think of a goal and let that guide you. What is your faction doing and why? As the matrix puts it, "Know thyself." That being said I don't want everyone to post what their plans are, just try and get a mental focus of your goal. Everyone needs to think about what they want to do in the story, how they want to end up. What state they want their characters to be in, and what they want to accomplish. As aposed to running around gunning everything. Because if you do that, the only thing your going to shoot is the story. I'm not saying this because anyone has been doing anything they shouldn't. Weather they have or haven't or what anyone has done, is not my aim or point or even a concern at all. What I'm trying to do is simply help everyone put some real purpose and meaning into the story and improve every aspect of it. Sometimes I find myself gunning thins blindly and loosing site of the story. And it's hard to not do that when everyone else is doing that. Not saying everyone else is doing that in this story but it's happens all the time in other stories. Okay, so basically, just think of a purpose for your clan. Think of weare you want to end up. Think of what your going to do in either situation of loosing or wining. Think of each character's individual role. And focus on fulfiling your purpose. When the dust has settled in the fight over York, the story will end and everyone can post thier aftermath or whatever. Then the next one will start in a different thread. I'm bringing this up because something about the story seems to be slipping. Not that there was much there before. And I really just want to put some spirit and life in the story that'll make us remember it three years down the road. If the serese has ended by then...mabee five years downt the road. And I don't want to be the only one sustaining the story as I found myself doing in the Matrix story we had. (the successful one that acctually finished that is.)

jokemaster Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I don't care wether my side wins or loses, as long as some of my main characters survive. What I'm interested in is how alliances and stuff like that end in this chapter. And summarizing what Mandy said: Don't turn it into a Deathmatch game description.

Deac Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Ok. I agree. We need somekind of end point acceptable for everyone. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 When everyone knows about other factions and people have enough time to make alliances/truces/whatever with each other? Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 I didn't mean pre-determine an end. This is a story about a war, but that doesn't mean it has to be all battle. I just want everyone to take no combatant steps towards story developement. Example: Interfaction relationships that result in expulsion or execution. As far as alliances, if two factions ally and join and together they win, that's fine, those two factions will be at the top of the ladder in the next game basically. But in the next game there could be new leaders and the treaties could break. I think I'dd like to do an experiment. Like have everyone think of one element to throw into the plot. It can be something simple, and everyone will work together on fullfilling each other's plots. Okay I'll start: Miryia goes to search for Tais, she finds him but they both get captured. In their capture they fall in love. Sain, who is affectionately attached to Miryia from the begining rescues them but when she no longer loves him he starts acting strange. Sain gradually begins to hate his faction, then Sain decides to help another faction overthrow the Red Shadows. The Red Shadow Faction is defeated and their stronghold on the city lost. Tais and Miryia, along with all the surviving Red Shadow members, join with the Glorious Shadow faction. ------------------- Your's don't have to be as complicated as mine, but they can be more complicated if you like. That basically is where I'll be at the end of the story, ready for the next one. If you have an Idea and would like help on tuneing it then just ask, I will be more than willing to help and others may be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My basic goal is this: The Glorious Shadow team attacking the humans can either be defeated or win, but either one will result with a prisoner being taken. Some of the Glorious Shadows decides to go along with Miryia, but get wiped out. The Glorious Shadows decide to help Sain in his search for Miryia. Some of them notice the difference in Sain and report it in. The Glorious Shadows wisely decide to stay away from him. From there they decide to ally themselves with Miryia over Sain.

Redwing Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Heh. I already have an Intended Plot Element - I always do when I join an RPG with more than one character. However, it isn't the type that I want to post, or that I want/need help fulfilling in-RPG...so I shall have to think of another On a side topic...from the way things move in the RPG, I almost think we need some kind of in-game clock, or at least have people put the time of day/night in their posts. For example, instead of "Dark Shadow Headquarters" it would be "Dark Shadow Headquarters, 10 PM". What does everyone think about that? Like it, or think it's making things too complicated?

Black Knight of Keno Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Ok, Spoilers on my story coming up: after the Vampire's rejected the offer of a peace treaty, the bond with the werewolfs becomes even better. the 30 spies up in the city start to kill many human's in bus crashes, sniper attacks or bombing's at local markets or something. Their new goal is to get rid of the humankind. In the mean time underground, Asshakar has to face a group of rebel lizardmen, trying to overthrown him and get the power of the nest. If they succeed taking over: The bonds to the werewolfs are breaken and the lizardmen warriors are more heavily armed to kill everyone they see, either it's human, vampire or werewolf. So the lizardmen will get defeated in the city and the survivors flee into the forests out of the city. If they don't succeed: Asshakar passes the throne to his son, Taker, and leaves the nest like his father did. After Asshakar had left, Taker started to dictate the lizardmen that forced the warriors up in the town to disappear into the night and form an alliance with the werewolfs again as Taker had broken the alliance with them. Asshakar hears about the dictatorship in the nest and goes to rule the group of the 30 lizardmen. He get's the throne back after he broke throught the gates with the werewolfs. His 20 most loyal men in the nest started to fight with him and so they get into the palace and defeat Taker. They rebuild the nest with or without the werewolf's help and make an embassy near the palace where they would have their meetings with other races. In the first part of the embassy is the werewolf's area. They start sending spies out of the city and build another base somewhere underground so they would then build tunels to the main nest. In the same times as the spies leave, the 50 now very loyal men to Asshakar splits to three teams. Royal guards that have 25 lizardmen, bodygyards that have 5 and the political escort team that have 10 lizardmen. The political escort team(PET) escorts Asshakar to Miryia and the Glorious shadow faction. They try to make an alliance for the future's sake and try allso to make the vampires make peace with the werewolfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 hmm...okay this isn't what I really wanted. I don't want everyone to predetermine what they're gonna do. I just want everyone to make goals. My own was a bit more predeterminative than it should have been. Let me revise mine and then you can follow. ------------------- Goals: 1) A love relationship between Miryia and Tais which results in the Jelous Sain becoming chaotic. 2) The deterioration of the Red Shadow faction. Sain's attempt to sieze control and overthrow Tathar. 3) Miryia and Tais creating a new faction. ------------------- Okay basically, forget whatever you just typed. None of that step by step, this'll happen then this'll happen. I didn't want everyone sumerizing the whole story in a single post I just want everyone to make an aim to reach. There was obviously some confusion, so just forget all that. Make at least one point to aim for. Nothing that reaches a conclusion. Think of it as a journey. Your going somewhere, you know where your going, but you've no Idea what you'll meet on the path. Where are you going? Okay, let's try it again. ***** on another note, a time system would be good, I was acctually thinking of it myself. And something like a three paragraph minimum post, and that you have to post once every other day, or give a reason for not being able to post for longer than two days. The reason for this is to structre the story and filter out the chaotic confusion and people's getting left behind or the story being stalled because one player can't post or istn't posting. I'm just tryint to think of a time system. Like every day could be half an hour...and if you don't need to do anything, like your sleeping, you just post -pass- or -bump- or something. hmm... thoughts?

Black Knight of Keno Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 1) Asshakar sends tens of his lizardmen warriors to attack the Vampire's 2) The lizardmen's nest are breached and they scatter around the city, searching for Asshakar that left the nest in the middle of the battle with 4 of his men.

jokemaster Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I'm going on a trip tomorrow, so I'm not gonna be able to post until Sunday or some day like that. Goals: 1. Stage a rescue attempt for Miryia, the glorious shadows vampires who went with her, and whoever else who may be captured 2. Forming an alliance with either Miryia or Sain. The time thing is a good idea, but it'd be a little hard to calculate by how much it takes to do something.
