Blood hunt

Rules, Details, Outline

Shadow Wars

 

Rules:

1- No Godmoding.

 

2- No Out Of Character (OOC) posting in the story thread. All OOC posting goes in this thread.

 

3- You may only control one character.

 

4- You may not control NPCs or each other’s characters. I control the NPCs.

 

5- Your character has to be either a vampire or a werewolf.

 

6- Your character can die, and you can kill other characters. To kill another character or to die not only must the circumstances be appropriate but I and the character being killed must be informed. The actual kill post will be posted by myself. You may not post a kill yourself but have to first request it in this thread.

 

7- Everyone who joins has to post at least once every two days and may not post more than once a day. If your unable to post please post in this thread that you won’t be able to post. If you don’t post for a whole week I will kill your character. If you are unable to post at least once every two days let me know and an exception can be made provided you agree to post as often as you can.

 

8- There will be an ingame clock, stay within the timeframe. That means you can’t travel halfway across the city in a single post. Depending on the circumstances most people should be going at the same speed, but some people may be dueling or something and be in a separate timeframe from everyone else. At the top of each of my posts will be the current time and other timezones for other players whose names will be specified. Don’t act outside the boundaries of your timezone.

 

9- If someone thinks something someone else wrote is cheap, unrealistic, impossible, etc… Post your complaint in this thread and we will discus it and correct it if necessary.

 

Okay, the rules are laid out, here’s how to make your character. Fill out the profile below choosing one of the available options in (quotations) where listed and filling out the rest on your own. Heed the special notes in [brackets].

 

Name:

Gender: (male, female)

Age: [no one may be older than 200]

Race: (werewolf, vampire)

Faction: (Swords of Silverwood, Black Illusion.) [if you chose to be werewolf your faction is – Swords of Silverwood, if you chose to be vampire your faction is – Black Illusion.]

Rank: (Hunter, Scout, Soldier, Engineer, non-combatant)

Skills: [make up any skills you want, everyone may have three skills of their own conjuring to be particularly good at, everything else no one has an advantage at over other players. If, and you may, you have the same skill(s) as another player your both equal strength at that skill.]

 

 

here are the abuilities each race has:

werewolves: (1) can change to wolf form at will (Takes one turn) (2) have increased physical strength in wolf form(3) can jump fifty feet in wolf form(4) can transform a human into a werewolf with one bite (transformation takes one full day) (5) heal minor wounds in one hour, major wounds in six hours, and mortal wounds in 24 hours in human form (6) heal minor wounds in 15 minutes, major wounds in 1.5 hours, and mortal wounds in 12 hours in wolf form. (7) can use their claws to climb walls in wolf form.

 

Vampires: (1) can jump 20 feet (2) heal minor wounds in 30 minutes, major wounds in three hours, and mortal wounds in 18 hours. (3) can transform a human into a vampire with one bite (transformation takes one full day) (4) stronger than a werewolf's human form but not a wolf form.

 

 

 

That’s all there is to making your character.

 

Here is some information on the two factions so you can better decide which you want to be.

 

The Black Illusion have total control of the city. But they are weak because they have been unchallenged for so long. Also they don’t know that the werewolves have even settled in the city. The Swords of Silverwood have only recently settled in the city and so their weakness is a lack of knowledge of the terrain, but they have the element of surprise and hope to someday overthrow the Black Illusion.

The Black Illusion’s goal is just to maintain their control of the city, they are used to occasional minor threats like the odd rouge vampire or werewolf, but they are mostly laid back and just enjoy life.

The Swords of Silverwood will try for as long as possible to keep a low profile and if any do get caught hope that the vampires will only believe it to be an odd appearance, nothing more. Also with clever tactics and deception they hope to seize control.

 

The conflict between these two factions won’t be completely resolved in this story, rather this story will only be the first chapter of the story.

[Evil Dark Jedi]

Name: Charok

Gender: Male

Age: 123

Race: Vampire

Faction: Black Illusion

Rank: Soldier

Skills: Can jump 50ft.

 

 

I will add more larer.

[Darth NeoVenom]

Sounds Interesting.

 

Name: NeoVenom

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Race: Werewolf

Faction: Swords of Silverwood

Rank: Hunter

Skills: NeoVenom can gain speed while running in human form and can gain even faster speed in werewolf form. He knows many Kung-Fu styles and can transform slightly faster than the fellow comrades.

 

Wanted to add his description. He wears all black and in back on his trench coat, there'z a Snake wrapping itself around a sword and shield that are vertical. He has light brown hair, a little bit past his ears and brown eyes. Fairly built. He also has two hidden blades that extend from his coat's arm (If that'z alright.) The weapon he carries will be told as soon as I figure out the limitations.

 

What are the limitations on what guns and bullets we can carry?

[Mandalorian54]

Thanks for joining guys.

 

Okay, I know I was pretty vague about the skills but I meant things like, martial arts, sniper rifles, knife combat, running, jumping...stuff like that.

 

Sorry Evil Dark Jedi but Charok can not sprout wings from his back. And jumping a hundred meters is a bit too much. If you want to convert meters to feet a meter is three feet. When I did long jump at a track and field competition people could jump around ten feet with a run. If you want your character to be able to jump extra far I would say fifty feet. That's enough to jump from one building across a city street to another building, sound fair?

 

 

And Darth Neovenom, all the werewolves can transform at will, if you want to make an abuility you could be able to transform faster.

 

 

And for both of you, you get three abuilities, not just two.

 

I'll edit my above post to include abuilities that each race already has, anything not listed you can't do. So sprouting wings would not be listed so no one can sprout wings. Transforming into a wolf at will is listed as a werewolf abuility so all werewolves can transform to wolf form at will.

 

Edit: try to keep your abuilities in the physical relm as apposed to the supernatural relm. No single vampire would be able to do something supernatural that no other vampire could do. Same goes for werewolves.

 

Edit: Another thing about the timeline, you guys don't post time above your posts, whatever time was posted in mine is what time it is.

 

And evil dark Jedi, don't worry about things like where the group is going, remember I control the group and I'll post were they're going. You just play your character but feel free to ask anything you want out of character in this thread. If you want to go a certain way, make your character say he wants to go that way, but you can't control what the rest of the group will do. Please just edit your post.

 

Edit: Evil dark jedi, I made vincent as Charok's partner to help guid you around until your familiar with things. It's also just safe for everyone to have a partner in case something goes wrong.

[Hiroki]

Name: Valhadris

Gender: Male

Age: 127

Race: Werewolf

Faction: Swords of Silverwood

Rank: Hunter

Skills: Made a werewolf at 14, use to living his entire life as a werewolf. Results are: Rapid transformation: Can turn and make an attack/move in the same turn, and extra strength. Over 100 years of intense sabre ( Napoleonic/Civil war era sword ) training, allowing him to block shots from pistol level firearms. Intense evasion training, allowing him evade attacks, aim, and sometimes even bullets.

 

He stands about 6'5 in human form, and is physically in his early 30's. He is one of the oldest Werewolves in Silverwood, and knows nearly every member by name and face. He is calm, and patient, learning from many years of experience, that getting enraged, and charging head on, will often get you killed.

 

His hair is black, and his eyes are green. He is excellent physical condition. Being made a werewolf at such a young age, has offered him increased strength in both human and werewolf form.

 

Over the years, he has developed a great hatred of Vampires, as he has watched many of his friends suffer at there hands. Nothing could make him happier than to rip all of there fangs out one, by, one.

[Mandalorian54]

Hey thanks for joining Hiroki, now lets talk about some minor adjustments to your character.

 

 

well first of all a hunter basically only goes on special hunting missions kind of like an assasin.

 

a soldier just does regular soldier stuff.

 

a scout does recon and intel missions, or spying, stuff like that.

 

and an engineer is a scientist or stuff like that.

 

 

Rapid transformation is fine, tough skin however isn't a skill. A skill is something a person learns to do, like reading or writing, fighting, or using tools. Try and find something like that. And it's not neccessary for something to count as two skills, I would rather it just be toned down.

 

I also didn't include bio in the character creation because I'dd rather you describe your character in your writing, like in a real book they don't tell you what the character looks on the first page and then not describe anything all through the book.

 

But it's fine if you want to, it does help you decide what type of character you want to play so I guess it's good in that way.

 

Okay so Hiroki, you can't have harder skin and you need to pick two more skills.

[Hiroki]

Okay, so not extra strength either? Would I be able to have extra strength if say, he had worked out intensly for most of his life? As it would have been a gained skill.

[Mandalorian54]

extra strength is okay, but I don't need an explanation like working out or anything. It just means if your struggling with someone else you'dd win because your stronger or you can lift huge rocks, watever.

 

Edit: but if anyone esle takes extra strength you'dd be even.

[Hiroki]

Okay, fixed. I chose Hunter, as his calm and rather methodical demeanor suits an assassin better than a soldier.

 

Edit: To make up for his sword and evasion skills, he dislikes the use of guns, and rarely will use one himself.

[Hiroki]

And why has jokemaster began narrating? o.O

[Mandalorian54]

Hiroki, you can't block bullets with a sword, you can have sword fighting as a skill which just means your better at sword fighting than eveyone else. dodjing is okay but you can't dodje bullets.

[Hiroki]

I don't get that...why not? =\ Makes having a sword sort of useless.

[Curt-Man]

Name: Brooklyn

Gender: Female

Age: 108

Race: Vampire

Faction: Black Illusion

Rank: Hunter

Skills: Brooklyn has increased accuracy wiht her duel M-1911(http://www.m1911.org/) due to years of pistol training, is fluent in ju jitsu(if its ok) and can run up to 25 mph if she is pumped up and has alot of adrenaline(sp)

 

Brooklyn is dressed in leather everything, boots, pants, shirt and gloves.

[Darth NeoVenom]

Changed NeoVenom's rank to Hunter,if that'z alright. I also added new skills. Ultravioletlight bullets exist or no?

[Mandalorian54]

Neovenom, Ultra violet bullets do not exist. What's available today is what's available in the game.

 

Hiroki, you can not block bullets with a sword. If that makes them seem obsolete it's because they are obsolete.

 

Curt Man, increased accuracy with pistols is fine, though I'm not sure about dead eye aim. Will you settle for increased accuracy? You also get another skill.

[Darth NeoVenom]

What exactly do we werewolves use to beat a vampire in human form? A bullet to the brain? :-D

[Curt-Man]

yeah increased accuracy is cool, and i don't have any other ideas for a third skill, unless i can have increased running speed?

[jokemaster]

Sorry, didn't look for this thread originally so

 

Name: Winters

Gender: male

Age:15

Race: vampire

Faction:Black Illusion

Rank: scout

Skills: (I'm assuming everyone knows how to read, fight and write)

1. increased proficiency in Hand to hand combat.

2. Can treat wounds so that they heal faster

3. Can use mechanical skills (repairing, hacking, sabotaging, stuff like that)

 

 

Ignore the werewolve part of my post, I wasn't aware of the 1 char rule.

[Darth NeoVenom]

Well not everyone knows how to fight in certain styles. Maybe street brawling yeah... Delete the werewolf part of your post. It might help for those that are going to join.

[jokemaster]

*whining* but I like confusing the newbies.....

 

 

Yeah, but I'm talkin' bout general fighting skills, you know basic hand to hand, gunfighting,e tc. not ultra-sophisticated Ju-jit-su

[Curt-Man]

so is winters where charok is or where i am?

[jokemaster]

Where Charok is.

[Curt-Man]

i hope i can do what i did in the post i just made.

[jokemaster]

Curt, check your PMs

[Mandalorian54]

Jokemaster, everyone does have basic skills, your skills are only specific skills that you are better at. Seeing better in the dark however is not a skill you may not have that. There is no form of training that can make someone see better in the dark, like I said skills not unnatural abuilities. Other than that everything else is okay.

 

Curt-man, your character is okay, I'm not sure how fast 25 miles an hour is but running faster is fine we get too tecknical about how many mph.

 

Darth Neovenom, Vampires and Werewolves are practically the same as far as imortality and healing, except that werewolf human form is alittle weaker and werewolf wolf form is a little stronger. Penetrating their organs to the point where regeneration is imposible is the best way to kill an imortal.

 

 

Edit: Curt-man, don't control NPCs. The waiter is fine but not the guy who came with you. The other thing is you can't just go into the weapons locker and grab stuff, theres a guy at the counter and you need authorization. If you've seen the movie S.W.A.T. you'll have a general idea of how it works. The werewolves however arn't as organized and just have a pile of guns in an armory. The vampires are alot more organized.

 

You can however sneak out with your own private guns if you want, and if you want an NPC to tag along I'll give you permission but please ask first next time. Also you'll have to wait for the others to leave the girage before you can take your car or they'll see you.

 

I think a good idea would be to make this NPC tag along a friend of your character's or something, just a sujestion though you don't have to.

 

 

Jokemaster, please only post once a day I'll let it slide this time. And the group of scouts are still in the girage, they haven't left the mansion yet.
