Vampires of York: chapter 1, A Few Dark Shadows


Mandalorian54

Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm redoing the old York Thread. I'm not going to make a discussion thread like I had started doing with a few of my stories.

 

There will only be vampires and humans, no wherewolves or any other of the creatures we had before.

 

If you've role played in my other Vampire stories you know my policy on Vampires. I will write them again though.

 

Vampires

They do not fear crucifixes, garlic, or silver.

A wooden steak in the heart will not kill them.

They can not transform into bats, wolves, or myst.

They are not telepathic.

Their shadows do not act strangely.

They can not fly or walk on walls and celings.

They can see their reflections.

They do not sleep in coffins.

They do not eat food or drink anything other than blood.

Sunlight still kills them.

 

 

Rather Vampires are more like victims of a virus than cursed immortals. One bite will infect a human transforming him or her into a vampire in a few days. The body's cells become stronger and able to repair themselves at a much faster rate. They no longer have to fear death from illness or old age, their body's regeneration will make them always healthy, strong, and young. The body becomes stronger able to leap from rooftop to rooftop, lift huge amounts of weight, and survive massive injury.

 

A Vampire can be killed much easlyier than in many other Vampire stories, severe injury to the brain, decapitation, penetration of the vital organs. Though a Vampire will regenerate rapidly, completely healing a bullet wound in an hour, lost body parts won't grow back.

 

Vampirism may be classified as a virus but it strengthens a person more than anything else. The negative side of being a vampire is the lack of hunger for natural foods, only a thirst for blood is left to drive them and that they must drink about a gallon once every three days. They can no longer emerge during the day, they must live by night.

Well I was thinking that a stab to the heart shouldn't automatically kill a vampire unless it completely destroyed the heart, but now I think it would be better to let a stab to the heart automatically kill a vampire. It's just that it doesn't have to be a steak, you can stab a vampire with anything in the heart.

 

So yes a steak to the heart will kill a vampire, but not specially.

The story takes place in the city of York. Population aproximately 1 million. The city has everything a city needs, subway system, airport, a port on the river front, gangs, crime. York is full of normal life, and until recently there were no Vampires in the city. Unfortunately for the citizens of York strange things are in store.

 

Vampires have always remained a secret and disciplined society, careful not to be discovered by the human world. Recently a small group of Vampires has arrived in York to start a new house in the now thriving city.

 

You play the roles of new vampires or humans in York. What part will you play during the rise of a new Vampire house?

 

This is going to be less of an action story than my other ones have been in the past though there's plenty of room for gunfights and vampire slaughter, but don't over do it. This is a story after all.

 

Rather than making one long indefinite story going on forever, there will be a serise of shorter stories. I'm aiming to finish each chapter in about five pages, when we reach the fifth page start to wind down and end it. That way player's who's characters died won't be out for long. Also new chapters may introduce new races or clans to affiliate your characters in.

 

(Edit: 01/15/05 - 10:15PM)

The Current Vampire Clan: Hokusha Clan

 

Lead by a feirce warrior, Akshi Hokusha, the Hokusha clan was formed from the large ruling clan of the surrounding area and sent to keep watch on the city and control the Vampire activity.

 

All new vampires in the city will be monitered by the Hokusha clan when discovered and make sure they don't give away the Vampire's existence to the general public. Agents of the clan are sent out every night to watch the city and monitor other vampires.

 

Not just any vampire can be accepted into the clan either, they have to prove their worth. Usless vampires won't be tollerated, but killed. There are plenty of Vampires outside of the Clan but the Clan keeps tabs on everyone and everything going down. The Clan rules and must be respected, anyone out of line is shure to face a swift death.

 

The Clan has rules, they do not allow large groups of new vampires turned at once, it's too easy for them to get out of line and too hard to keep tabs on. No clans are allowed to be formed outside of the coven, such clans will be destroyed and their members killed. To be accepted into the clan you must be vouched for by a clan member and are given a trial period where you are carefully examined to see if you may be a valuable asset to the Clan. The Clan does not waste their time with loosers.

(/edit)

 

(edit: 01/18/05 11:30AM)

The Hokusha clan has one leader, Akshi Hokusha is still subject to his superiors in the Ruling Vampre Clan in the region. Akshi is the most powerful Vampire of the Hokusha Clan, he is also the oldest. Directly under Hokusha are his commanders, he has three commanders. There is one commander for soldiers, they guard the Clan's base of opperations and do most of the fighting should a battle arrise with another Clan. Another commander is in charge of monitoring the city, scouts travel the rooftops every night and make sure all is well. The third commander is special forces, he has the fewest men at his command but they are the deadliest. The Special forces are highly trained assassins who hunt down and kill whoever their commander wants.

The moon was early in the sky and the night was young when Carth headed out to meet his friends at their favorite club, Club White Rook. As he waited in line he met up with one of his friends and they chatted as they waited to enter. The bouncer recognized them and let them go in ahead of a few people.

 

Once inside the pair rondezvoued with some more of their buddies, they found themselves a bouth and chatted a bit before ordering some drinks. The group of buddies were just having a fun night out, throwing their cares away as if for the moment at least there were no responsabuilites, no rules, no reality, just the excitement of the moment.

Searching the streets with her eyes, she doesn't notice anything suspicious.

William jumped between rooftops, looking for a quiet spot. Spotting Sabrina, which he had met a few times here and there he walked up to her.

"Looking for a victim? Or just peace and quiet?"

((Curt man, please post more than two sentances. A whole paragraph at least five sentances.))

 

Carth greeted Jake when they saw each other and they chatted for a bit. "Life's not too bad," Carth responded. "My mom gets on my nerves though, I can't wait to move out. College is going pretty good I just love writing, and I might be starting a new job with a couple of my friends." Someone bought a round of shooters and Carth took his not knowing what it was and gulped it down like a pro. "How's life treating you Jake?"

 

((I'm updating my 4th post with information on the current Vampire Clan. Also a new addition to the character sheet, edit your sheets if you are a vampire.))

"Peace and Quiet..." replied Sabrina. Sabrina never liked to prey on humans for blood. When it comes to drinking blood, she goes to the hosptial and grabs bags of blood. "And you?" Sabrina asked William without turning her head away from the streets below. Sabrina stands up from the spot she was perched on and jumped down to the rooftop. She waited for William to answer her question.

"Same as you I guess... I'm also looking for.. food...I guess."

He walked up next to her, peering down at the street below. He could hear a club's boring music playing, and clubs always meant easy prey.

"I can't understand how you can drink dead blood... I mean, its cold, and not pulsating with life... But then again, I was never a fan of sushi..."

William had heard of Sabrinas odd habit. Drinking dead blood... Some vampires...

"ah, my life is going great right now, im doing well in my part time job as a cook, and college is working very well, mid-terms coming up though, i'm not too worried, well you know me, laid-back" Jake scanned the club.

"hot damn! look at that one, she's mine, rawr" Jake said, he wiped his mouth and headed toward the young lady.

 

Trent comes walking back.

"yeah yeah shut up."

((Darth NeoVenom, Dark Stalkers are not a clan. If you want to start your own clan you'll have to do it in the story not start with it existing. The Hokusha Clan is the only clan in York currently.))

 

 

After Carth and his friends were drunk and a gradually the group shrank as people left one by one. Eventually it was just Carth and Jake.

 

"Come on Jake, let's leave this dive," Carth said slapping Jake on the arm, he stood up and stumbled just a bit as the rush of his drunkeness came over him. In a tipsy manner Carth stumbled towards the bar exit and then outside.

 

In his drunkeness Carth wound up in some alley he didn't recognise he looked around to see if Jake was with him..."Jake? Jake where are you?"

((Okay Cyborgninja, there is no price on Carth's head. Why would there be? Why would you have to take care of Clan guards either? And use proper writing, full sentances, Quotation marks for speach and don't put parenthases around your actions.))

 

Carth saw Jake pass out and burst out in laphter, "Jake get up you crazy fool." Carth stumbled towards his passed out friend and fell on top of him. Rolling off he sat himself up with his back up against the wall of the club, "I think I drank too much..." He struggled to stand up but his head was spinning and he couldn't concentrate on anything. Letting his head go limp on his shoulders and fall to the side he watched a couple people walk past the alley and closed his eyes.

"I'm gonna stay.. I might drink some tonight, or just sit and think. Good morning to you."

He sat down and stared out over the city. Eternal life was interesting. He wanted to see how the world would develop, how his family would create offspring. How he could help his family by eliminating its enemies...

After relaxing, for what seemed like five minutes but could have been half an hour, Carth got up and shook Jake until the other man stirred. "Come on Jake I'm taking you home," Carth said as he helped Jake to his feet. "I'm not spending the night in an alley."

 

They made their way to the street and Carth flagged down a cab. After helping Jake in Carth got in and let the cabby know where to go. Carth didn't know where Jake lived so they went to Carth's house. Slumping Jake over his shoulder Carth proceded to drag his weary friend up to his Condominium where they crashed on sofas. There they'd rest until morning and hangover.

Carth stirred and rubbed his throbbing head, "Yeah, hangover..." He said sarcastically. "Hey Jake, did you just get up?" Carth sat himself up on the sofa and attempted to flatten his protruding hair that now stuck up in all directions. "There's coffee and bagels in the kitchen if your down with that."

Carth and Jake chatted for a bit before Carth had to leave. "I have to meet Chris and Alex," two of their friends who had also been at Club White Rook the night before, "They offered me some under the table work at the docks. You don't have a job do you Jake? I'm sure they'd be willing to let you in on some action if you wanted, what do ya say?"

 

 

((weiderudare, Neo Venom, continue in the night before if you want, Curt-man and I will go through today quickly and bring tonight along shortly for you guys to join. I will connect the dock work with the Hokusha vampire clan. Since you two are not in the clan keep in mind that the clan is monitoring your activity, I am also going to add some information about the clan in my 4th post.))
