Mandalorian54 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Rules 1: No Out of Character Chat. (OCC) Except in important situations witch involve the story. 2: No God Modding. 3: No controling other people's characters. (NPCs are excepted from this rule.) 4: No killing other people's characters. Characters can die if the person who created the character is okay with it. (Everyone will have multiple characters so some will be expendable.) 5: Don't request to join in this thread, request in the Vampire Roleplay Prosposal thread. 6: Do not post bio's for characters. Edit your joining post in the Vampire Roleplay Prosposal thread to list the names of all your members. 7: Keep your actions in the city. Basically the city is the whole world. I'm not going to be nit picky about it but try to stay in most of the time if not all the time. Like no bringing reinforcements from out of the city. If you leave the city, like flee the city because everyone wants you dead, then the characters who flee the city will be unoffially out of the story. Not the player, the character(s). I'll edit with more if any more need to be made. from this point on keep it as strictly story as possible. ----------------*The Vampire Wars - Part1 - The Shadows of York*---------------- The city of York spanned for miles in every direction from Tathar's Tower. Tathar's Tower, as it is called, is the oldest structure in the city. A monument, a tourist attraction, the center of the city. The tower was thousands of years old. The top of the tower was two hundred and fifty feet high. A park surrounded it's base, with fresh grass, trees, flowers, park benches, sculpted monuments, and three fountains. During the day it was filled with friendly citizens. An old man who fed the birds and squirrels could be seen almost daily. Children played frisby while parents walked the dog. But at night it attracts a different host. ***** To most of the citizens of York the war raging beneath the surface was a shadow. And the very man named after the tower did not really exist. They went about their normal lives oblivious. The occasional disapearences, murders, and spilling overs resulting from the war were concealed as muggings, kidnappings, and gang wars. It's really quite shocking how few human crimes take place. The criminal world is generally run by a more mysterious race of men and woman...the VAMPIRES. ***** Tathar's tower markes the center of the Red Shadow's relm. Streatching out like a nova the Red Shadow faction spreads it's influence and control. Tathar, the eldest of the vampires, has led the Red Shadow for a three hundred years, back when the tower was first built. Tathar's mansion faces the tower and the surrounding park from across the street. From the tower the surrounding buildings rise like a set of stairs. Houses and shops surround the park, taller buildings surround them, and finally office buildings and skyscrapers surround those. From there the city scatters in a random pattern until it finally dies at the outskirts. Beneath the city the metro carries people from place to place. And winding service tunnels sewers provide sanctuary for whoever would dig out a home in the damp, dark, and dirty underworld. ***** But here in York Tathar and his Red Shadow Faction rule. Unoposed until now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 [OOC: I know we're not supposed to do OOCing much, but this thread kinda tickles me because I live near the original York....] *York. A town of mystery. Famed for it, tourists come for the attractions of the "haunted" buildings and walks to famed sights where vampires supposedly lived and werewolves hunted. If only they knew the real horror. But it was a group of brave men and women who held the line between normality and the city erupting into hell on earth. As vampires fed in the alleyways and werewolves howled beneath the full moon, figures atop the cathedral watched, and waited. A figure stands in an alley, biting a woman's neck. A second figure lands behind it, silent as a shadow. It smashes a bottle of water over the first's head, then watches as it melts away. It places a cross in the dead woman's hands and leaps back upward, and into the night..* "Another one for the Neo Templars" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Deep in a certain part of the sewers of York, people occassionally hear howling and growling. Some are in fear of what lurks in the shadows. In this place, the Shadow Hunters call it home. The sewers allow the Shadow Hunters to journey around the town. They sometimes camp in buildings that are unoccupied and journey thru the streets. Conflicts sometimes occur when they meet up with other races, but someday hopes for the conflicts to end.

jokemaster Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 In the slums of town there have been an increasing number of murders. Up till now, nobody has cared, all those taken have been hobos and beggars. Until now. The Glorious Shadows have hit it big time, capturing and killing an important werewolve. Now they have been going from one of the weakest factions to one of the more powerful. However, with this increase in power has come an increase in responsibility, and recently they have also began to fight for justice as well as pleasure.

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 A plashing sound is heard from the sewers as the lizardmen come from their hunting journey. They enter a small crack in the wall and light a torch. They took the seven murdered men to the nest where they started to eat their flesh. There was screams of the lizardmen as they tore the bodies apart and ate them. The lizardmen had nothing to do with the other creatures, they just wanted for the human life to end forever. They know that they would have to fight the other species for the human lands but their population was growing hole the time and many of the workers were being trained to be soldiers. These seven bankers were a delicious meal and a victory for the lizardmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 In the tallest of the tall buildings, in dusty towers and decaying churches, observers if there were any could have seen a recent increase in the number of stone gargoyles that perched on cornices everywhere - bat-winged statues that basked in the sun throughout the day and vanished at night. But there were no observers yet, and those who happened to notice attributed it to York's legendary ghost population. In reality, these stone statues were sleeping watchers, scouts. When they were not asleep, not a soul saw them, though they flew high in the sky and crept along the lowest of the sewers, investigating and observing everything. They were preparing for the coming of their leader, the dark High Priest called Black Crystal. York was to be the beginning, and the time was drawing near. The scouts stayed hidden for now, as their brethren had for centuries, but they could sense that the time for hiding would soon pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuki Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 [OOC: Hmm, if you don't mind I might be taking on some of the outer-city types (of course I'll keep it mostly in the city)] *On the outskirts of the city, where some brush and tree were allowed to grow. The indigious population of humans was neither aware nor hinted that just maybe the forest near the city that was creeping up ever so closer every year, had eyes and ears...* *With in the centre of the city, a man, or at least it seemed to be walked the alley ways hooded. He needed not to care in these times, other then humans. Vampires can't turn a pagan, for they aren't human in orign. But Lycans ((thats your guys the warewolves, just thinking it'l be better to call em that )), the Gargolyes and the Lizardmen, may or maynot be as equaly curious to their intentions or outright despisal. For it was Pagans belief to not interfere with any other races affar, how ever then humans industralization, they needed to act, due to the humans poisioning their mother, Earth...* --- *The figure was on his way to find a certain stronghold, this pagan wanted something important to ask of who ever he was going to...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 When the sun slept, the moon awoke, and the vampires with it. The Red Shadow Faction has been unoposed for years, ruling the city from it's core. Perhpas that was one of their weaknesses, perhaps they were over confident being the largest power. The Night Hawkes were a team of scouts and warriors who's job it was to keep watch over the city at night. At the moment there were no serious need for them, but the occasional Werewolf or Human hunter could not be let to roam free. For the Vampire's own survival and preservation. Miryia, eldest daughter of Tathar, often went out with the Night Hawkes as their unoficial leader. But Sain was their leader and greatest warrior. There seemed to be an increase in the werewolf population recently, though Tathar the Mighty took no notice Miryia wanted to be careful. She took some Night Hawkes with her and scoured the city. Tonight there would be blood shed. The usual Silver bullets eaquipped, the Night Hawkes set off into the night. From the rooftops they observed below. There were twenty Night Hawkes out tonight, more than there have been in years. Tonight, the wind spoke of somthing foul, a begining of the war.

Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 At one of the main sewer gates, NeoVenom escorted a group of ten Shadow Hunters. "Tonight, we will avenge those of our kind that have been slaughtered. Tonight, we shall feast on the blood of our enemies. Tonight, it is war. Move cautiously and don't attract too much attention. Sources tell us that one of our fellow companions has fallen to the hands of vampires. I don't know which clan it is, but just in case..." NeoVenom taps his desert eagle with his other desert eagle and says, "We have special bullets for them." After that is said, NeoVenom and his group move out of the subway tunnels and enters a door leading to a local subway station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 From the center of the city Miryia dispatches her Night Hawkes throughout the city keeping an eye on every inch of it. They keep in contact with small speakers on the inside of thier wrists and earpieces in their ears. Guns ready, eyes narowing in on the crowds of people walking the night streets. From rooftop to rooftop they jump, searching in every alley and lane. Taking sections of the city the group of twenty split up in pairs. Matt(X), and Tais(*), a turned vampire with enough skill to have been accepted into the skillfuly demanding Night Hawkes, pair up and scout out their sector. From the rooftops they detect no unusual activity and so they report Miryia. Miryia's voice is heard on everyone's radio, "Everyone split up, I want one above looking down, and one on the ground checking everywhere. Keep in contact at all times with your partner." Tais keeps to the rooftops and Matt dropps below. Matt walks along the sidewalk passing through the flow of normal people. Tais follows in an overlapping mannor, leaping a building ahead, then watching until Matt is a building ahead. Matt looks down every alley, sniffing for the werewolf scent. But finds nothing. Finally he comes to the subway station. "I'm goin in." Tais pearches on an apartment building's roof and watches as Matt disapears into the station, "I'll keep an eye out from here, gimmy a shout if you find anything. Don't do anything stupid Matt, we're a team here." Matt chuckles, "Yaya, I gotchya." The subway isn't as full as it would be during the day, but there are still enough people to blend in with. Matt looks around and makes his way to the center of the station. He sniffs around a bit but doesn't smell anything...at least, not at first. His hand slowly drifts to his gun...

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 A small hissing is heard in the metro station. A large bang is heard and then the lights of a metro appear from the tunnels. The train stopped next to the station. The lights there blinked and the wires fell from the roof of the metro train. Then the doors opened with a hiss and a ripped body fell out. The humans thought it would be a human but Matt noticed it was a vampire. Four quiet figures crawled into a small sidetunnel only a ten meters away from the station and carried eight human bodies to the nest. Two appearing to be men in long coats walked down the main street. They watched up and down only to see the figures of vampires. They suddenly disappeared into the sewers with a hiss. They reported to their groups leader and then got to the metro station as soon as they could. Ssachak(X) walked and stopped next to Matt. He drew a small, curved dagger under his jacket and stabbed Matt. The lizard discuised as a human now walked out of the station. He didn't stay there to see if the vampire was going to live or not. The war against the vampire population was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Travelling thru a narrow hallway leading to three doorways, NeoVenom lifts up his left hand indicating for his group to stop. Peters(X), a turned member of the Shadow Hunters, questions NeoVenom, "What is wrong sir?" NeoVenom sniffs the air around him. He growls and says, "....Vampire". He continues to speak, "I smell another scent, but I'm not too familiar with it." He continues to walk forward until him and his group are about 10 feet from the door. "Get ready men." NeoVenom says as he checks his gun. He approaches the door and opens it. A commotion already broke out. People running straight to the exit. Moments later, the subway station was nearly empty, except for a person kneeling on his hands and knees. Peters raises his gun and fires at Matt. Ultraviolet light can been seen out of Matt's mouth as his skin begins to diminish. NeoVenom says to Peters, "What happens if that was a human? We are not animals to be killing everyone. Go...kick his gun over here. You killed him, you get it." Peters walks towards what is left of Matt's body and kicks over Matt's gun. NeoVenom stops it with his right foot. Picks it up and puts it away in his trench coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Two long coated human looking men walk to NeoVenom. "NeoVenom, I presssume?" the first man spoke and got a rude look from NeoVenom's men. A hiss was heard from the other man as the other continued. "Our leader want's to make a deal with you. I believe the Vampires are our mutual enemy, so-" suddenly, a bang and the talking man fell down with a bullet in his head. His hat fell off when he hit the ground and let his lizard head to reveal. The other man panicked and hissed angrily at one of NeoVenom's soldiers that had took his gun out, like blaming him. The lizardman took his hat off a little, revealing the yellow eyes and green skin on his face. A single word was heard from the angry hissing. "Die..." the lizardman hissed and then left to the metro rails. Then he disappeared into the darkness. Asshkar got quickly the news about his warrior. "Get me Sshaka and Hisska!! NOW!!!" Asshkar shouted and hit the table infront of him, making a loud bang. His two best friends came now to him and they made plans. Asshkar decided that he would like to meet the Leader of the werewolfs first, so he left the message to Sshaka. Sshaka left soon to the metro station and started to track NeoVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 "Who shot him?" NeoVenom questions his men. "Peters? Did you?" he look at Peters angrily. "Not me sir." Peters replies quickly. NeoVenom looks down at the dead body of the lizardman. "What are they? They look like lizards." NeoVenom says. Jacks(X), also a turned member of the Shadow Hunters, replied, "I heard of a clan that is filled with these creatures. I am not sure what is the name of the clan, but I heard that they also live in underground passages like we do." "I see..." replied NeoVenom. "Come Peters. Let us take another way out. I have a feeling thru that very exit there are more comrades of him." He points his gun at what is left of Matt. Jacks kneels down before the dead body of the lizardman and puts some of the blood in a small tube. "McKain can study more of this creature's blood." NeoVenom nods.

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 A strong hiss was heard. It came closer to NeoVenom and his men. "Sstop!" a sound shouted and some of NeoVenom's men turned. Then Sshaka dopped from the roof and turned back to his own skin. He walked towards them. "Massster NeoVenom, I am terribly ssorry about the incident. Our Leader wantsss to meet you..." Sshaka hissed and stopped. He continued: "...only you" and pointed at NeoVenom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 "Only me?" NeoVenom asks. "How can I trust you?" His men looked upon Sshaka angrily as they pointed their guns.

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 "We lizardmen have allways been a peaceful population. We dont want anything but the human to die" Sshaka said and bowed. He noticed a soldier pulling the trigger and drew a dagger from his coat and it found it's way to the soldiers head. Sshaka looked at NeoVenom. "Masster Neovenom, you can take two of your mosst reliable men. As a treaty of our peace, you may take your weapons with you" Sshaka said and started to walk towards the tunnels.

NeoVenom says as he puts away his desert eagles. Zeno and Draco puts away their guns aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Sshaka nodded. "My name iss Sshaka, by the way" Sshaka said and led the group throught a small crack in the wall and into a dark hallway. Then a light came from the end of the hall and two yeallow vested guards came to Sshaka. "Sir, Asshkar has been waiting for your arrival. He is awaiting in the palace" the other guard said quietly and looked at the strangers. Sshakar hissed something on their own language and led the werewolfs to a large hall. They kept going and then entered a beautiful gate into the palace. Sshakar walked first to Asshkar. "Sir, Masster NeoVenom wouldn't come without his guns or two of his men" Sshakar explained and Asshkar nodded. Sshakar walked to the werewolfes and told them to go forwards. Asshkar looked the group coming closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 "I've came with my guns and two of my men for my safety." NeoVenom said "As you already know, my name is NeoVenom, leader of the Shadow Hunters. You have request to see me, so here I am." NeoVenom slightly bows his head to show respect to Asshkar. He then stands up straight and crosses his arms behind him awaiting for Asshkar to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Asshkar hissed something to the guards and then looked NeoVenom. "Sso, Masster NeoVenom, I wanted to talk to you about our mutual enemy, the Vampires." Asshkar leaned forward, revealing his sharp teeth and red eyes. "Both of us would need each others information and connections. We have a large network of spies and tunnels under the city. You might need our maps..." Asshkar explained and walked towards them. "You want our help?" [ooc: Sorry, but notice that Asshkar speaks English better(no double or triple s's).

Darth NeoVenom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 NeoVenom nods and says, "Whatever helps us avenge my kind is useful." Looking around, NeoVenom continues to speak. "I don't know if you heard, but one of my kind has fallen to the hands of a vampire. Do you have any information on who did it? As I sign of our truce, you may want to study this." NeoVenom walks over to a table and places a spare gun of his on it. "It's bullets contain Ultravoilet light, a very deadly element to the vampires." Meanwhile, Peters, Jacks, and the others arrive at Dark Shadows, the headquarters of the Shadow Hunters. Jacks heads off to the room in which McKain is in. "Sir, I have something for you." Jacks places the small tube from his coat on the table. McKain picks up the tube and taps on it with the tip of his nail. "Interesting....what is this?" McKain questions. "It's blood from those Lizard creatures. One was killed, so I obtained a small portion of it's blood. I thought you would like to study it." Before McKain spoke a word, Solnina barged into the lab. "Where is my husband?" Solnina demanded. "Lord NeoVenom is meeting up with the leader of the Lizard creatures." An expression of worry crosses Solnina's face. "Alone?" Jacks replies, "No, with Zeno and Draco. I think he is planning an alliance with them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight of Keno Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 [ooc: Scar, like you would be near the Lizardmen stronghole... First, it is a nest. Second, the Lizardmen live in the tunnels beneath the metro and the city. And for third, no Lizardman qould let you get that far, not even if the stronghole would be underground...] Asshakar nodded and the guards came to escort the men out of the nest. The guards stopped next to them. "We are most happy to have you as our allies. Let it be a good one. Now, we have many urgent plans to activate, so sorry, but you must leave. I shall send all my data to you when he have copied everything neseccary for you" Asshakar explained and let the guards open tthe doors and lead the wrerewolfs out. Sshaka ran down a corridor, collecting any urgent data about the latest spottings of the Vampire's. The lizardmen's assault team was allready mobilized and on the move to hunt the scattered vampires from the slums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
