THE VAMPIRE MEME
Vampires are appealing creatures. They can be dark, mysterious, sexy, or just downright violent. They can even be hunky and sparkly in the sun! Vampires come in so many different varieties, it's hard to choose just one type. Whatever your brand of vampire, it's just hard to resist the draw of one of the oldest, most unsettling figures in horror to date. So why not try your hand at playing one yourself? Or offer your character up for bait if you're more inclined to do so. - Post your characters.Name/Series/Preferences in the subject field as usual along with whether your character is a vampire, outsider, or hunter(Unless you'd like to roll for individual threads!). - Others respond after going to RNG.Roll 1-3 for what your character is and then1-3 again for what type (if you desire). - Choose or roll for a scenario. You could make up your own after you roll for what your character's role will be if you want! - Have fun! Vampires 1 - Sire You're old enough to have created vampires of your own. Maybe one, maybe many, but they're all special to you in their own way. 2 - Sired You were once normal, human, but then you were changed into something more. Do you thank your creator or hate them for changing you into a monster? 3 - n/a Your creator is neither here nor there at the moment. You're just a vampire on the hunt or trying to fit in. Outsider 1 - Victim You're a victim, someone to drain and leave behind. Maybe they'll take pity on you and allow you to join, be one of them. 2 - Willing You've got the hots for vampires or just a morbid fascination. You're willing to let them drink from you and maybe so much more. 3 - Pawn You're being controlled somehow by a vampire. Mind control, blackmail, whatever. Hunter 1 - Born You come from a long line of vampire hunters. 2 - Moral Objection Vampires are abominations that deserve to be wiped off the face of the planet. 3 - Vengeance A vampire took someone dear from you or possibly made you into one of them. All you can think about is getting vengeance. Gen 1 - hunted prey. You're starving tonight and you're out scoping for just the right nighttime snack. 2 - newly made. You're a newly made vampire or you've encountered someone who's recently been changed. How do you deal? 3 - mind control. Some vampires have the ability to control humans' thoughts or actions and tonight is the night you have to do it. 4 - overpopulated. Vampires have taken over the world and now humans are treated like livestock or pets that you can feed off of when you feel like it. Not all vampires think this is cool though... 5 - injured. Not a lot can injure a vampire but there are those that will drain them for their blood or those that hunt them and know tricks that actually leave a mark. Do you help them? Or if you're the one injured, do you seek help? 6 - unaccepted. You were changed or you've met someone who was once dear to you and changed... you're not sure how to accept them. 7 - close call. It's too close to sunrise and you have got to find refuge with someone. 8 - player's choice. For anything that's been missed!
| Violent 1 - trail of bodies. Humans are nothing but food and you've gone on a spree lately. 2 - hunted. You're being hunted or you're hunting. 3 - outnumbered. A bar or a club full of vampires doesn't bode well for humans... 4 - ravenous. You've been starved or drained and you're going after the first person you see or you've stumbled across an extremely hungry vampire. 5 - entitled. You're entitled to this person's blood, whether they want to give it or not. 6 - self-defense. You have to defend yourself from those that want to hurt you. 7 - vengeance. Someone is after vengeance... 8 - player's choice. For anything that's been missed! Romantic 1 - real love. You know this is real, even if the other person is reluctant. Maybe it's not even a worry between you two and you just feel like being together. 2 - confession. It might not be the smartest idea, but you need to tell this vampire or human exactly how you feel for them. 3 - forever. It's time to make your lover into some a vampire or maybe it's time to ask your vampire lover to do it for you. 4 - making it work. There are obviously some problems, but you're going to overcome them. 5 - forbidden. Either no one can know about what you're doing or you just receive dirty looks for doing it. 6 - not exactly normal. Your attraction might not be normal or the circumstances surrounding your relationship might not be and it's time to discuss if you have a future or you're just kidding yourselves. 7 - defense. Someone hurt your lover and now they have to pay. 8 - player's choice. For anything that's been missed! Smut 1 - blood offering. There's nothing like a vampire feeding on you that gets you in the mood more. You offer them your blood in exchange for something else. 2 - coerced. Some vampires have mind control capabilities and some have blood that's like a drug that will make you crave more. 3 - no sex better than vampire sex. You're both vampires or one of you is dead set on becoming on tonight and you'll do anything to convince your lover it's time. 4 - pet. Similar to another option except that a 'pet 'entails so much more than being treated like livestock or cattle. 5 - touched the monster's heart. You're actually in love with each other even though you weren't sure it was possible. You just want to make love and show your vampire how you feel. 6 - so much stronger. The human or weaker vampire might not want it, but thankfully you're strong enough to take whatever you want from them. 7 - mine. It's time to claim what is rightfully yours and make sure they know it. 8 - player's choice. For anything that's been missed! |

So this is what they've left home for? A squalor that smelled of piss and shit? But what had they expected? There were no castles or palaces in this new land - America they called it. They could call it whatever they wanted, it didn't change the foul stench hanging in the air. It also didn't stop them from their fun, or their hunger.
From town to town they went, spreading like a frightening plague that took all that encountered it. Well, not all. There was the occasional drained body, pale and all bones, that would turn up after hunger struck. They wanted to explore this new land, see what all the fuss was about. That meant keeping a low profile...to a degree. It was no England, no Spain, and certainly not home for that matter. But in the developed cities, he could see the appeal.
Exploration means stepping out of what's familiar, and so the flashy cities must be left behind. These towns, they're filthy, but there's honest living there, like the ones in other lands he's ventured. The people are...interesting. It's why he's been sitting in a bar for the past couple of hours, a seat in a shaded corner where he watched the server with a sharp gaze. But these blood bags can never leave things as they are, can they?
A a group of fools entered, already drunk and loud and demanding free drink. Threatening the barkeep, in fact. The man playing a fun little melody on the piano was either too drunk or focused to realize what was happening to even stop. The lead fool, and the loudest, was leaning against the counter, a pistol discreetly aimed at server behind it. No one else seemed to be none the wiser of the situation, not until the other fools harassed the women and the men they were with or "entertaining." Nosy fools...

Michael ran an honest establishment. People came to The Grey Wolf bar for drinks, food, and a friendly ear. Well, mainly the drinks. It was also a good way to get information on vampires. Customers would speak of people lying dead in the streets, drained of their blood, or of seeing creatures of the night stalking about. Of course, most people dismissed this as hogwash. Michael, though, he knew better.
The newcomer had been quiet since he came in. Michael sensed his eyes on him, and he didn't want to make it too obvious that he'd been doing the same. Shifting his blue eyes to the blond man whenever he got a moment. He was certainly more handsome than the usual customers.
Then the rowdy group entered. Michael insisted that they weren't entitled to free drinks, and that they'd already had enough from the smell of them. Then they began to harass the other patrons and Michael told them that they had to leave. The leader took that as a challenge, unfortunately. Michael, being sober, was thankfully faster and gripped the hand holding the gun, and pointed it upwards before a shot went off. That sent most of the other patrons, including the women providing 'entertainment' scattering, either ducking under the tables or running outside.

It all seemed so slow to him, but to anyone else without the sight of the immortals, it was anything but. The gunshot had him spring into action, if only because the fool's friends had their pistols aimed at the barkeep-- Michael was his name. He's heard it used several times. No one's paying him no mind, so when he suddenly appeared behind one of the foul-smelling ringleader with rotting teeth, it may have seemed to be just that.
He was spun around by the blond stranger, neck gripped in his long-fingered hand, and a slight twist already had him gasping for breath. "That wasn't very wise." He spoke in a smooth baritone accented by a Northern European cadence. "But then again, you creatures have never truly be smart, have you?" Contempt and disgust filled his tone, his eyes even. If he wanted to, he could paint the walls with their blood, and it was clear everyone in the bar realized that, especially when pearly white fangs gleamed so beautifully in the light.
He stared the man down, blue eyes darkening as his pupils dilated, as did the drunkard's. "You will leave this establishment and find somewhere else to seek your cheap thrills. Do you understand me?" The man nodded, red-faced from lack of air. "Don't let me catch toting that vile thing around lest you want it shoved down your throat. Take your band of idiots and leave this place." And when the man was released, he hurriedly left the bar and urged his friends to follow. The dapperly dressed blond, however, brushed himself off and turned to Michael, not smiling, but amused nonetheless.
"Two shots of your finest, please."

Michael's eyebrows shot up when something came up in a blur and before he could do anything, the drunken oafs were subdued by the handsome stranger. Then he saw those fangs and his suspicions were confirmed. A vampire.
He watched as the head drunkard was scared away by this creature of the night, not daring to interrupt. Not many vampires just let perfectly good prey escape like that, unless he planned to go after him later. But for now, Michael simply got out a couple of shot glasses and poured two servings of his finest. The few customers that remained either ducked their heads to look as small as possible, or left as quietly as they could.
"Consider this round on the house," Michael told the vampire. "For getting those guys out of here." His tone was friendly, but he had an edge of wariness to him, since this was still a vampire. Now that the vampire was up close and speaking with him, it would be a good opportunity to size him up and learn what his deal was.
