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!

His eyes are narrowed, squinting as if he can focus past the shivers racking his body. Steve looks like he ran into a wall and his face - oh God, his face is flushed, he can tell it's pink with blood and it makes his whole body ache with need. Want, he tells himself, because he's lived on blood rations, but...but hell. He can't deny it. Steve tastes even better than the first meal he'd choked on months ago, on some planet that Steve's probably never even heard of.

"Handled me, huh?" Peter echoes, and he's on the fence if he's impressed at Steve's strength or threatened by it. If he'd turned...rabid, fully thirsting for blood like a newbie, he wouldn't have thought that Steve could hold him back. Iron Man, sure: dude's cheap because he made sure to bolt himself in a suit of armor that could snipe you from a football field away. Steve, though. He would've thought he could've taken Steve if he had to but now he isn't so sure.

Shifting his weight, his arms coming up to hug his torso as if he can keep it from shaking apart with the aftershocks of Steve's blood, Peter sizes up the reinforced window.

"We'll see if I need your doctors poking at me," Peter hisses. "I'll live."

He gives up with trying to stand, deciding it's better for his vertigo if he remains parked where he is. Fingers digging into his biceps, hard enough to discolor skin, he finally drops eye contact. Or he seems to. The muscles around his eyes twitch and his chin dips slightly. His vampire's eyes seem to be looking at nothing at all as the faintly glowing teals swirl at the same slow pace they always have.

"I..."

Peter thinks back, really thinks back. Steve isn't a friend, he tells himself. He's not quite an enemy, but he could be, and that's exactly what he doesn't want doctors coming at him too. Flashes of last night are coming in if he really focuses, if he tears at the brief flashes of sight and sound and taste flooding his mouth. Mostly the taste. The want - that glows like a neon sign.

"I don't remember waking up. Think I remember sneaking into your room. The, uh...the taste. Like nothing I've had before," Peter's shoulders jog in a shrug. "Maybe it's just human blood. Or maybe it's, y'know, whatever's in you."

He flicks a limp hand at Steve, top to bottom. He figures the comics had to be right about him. It has to be him particularly, because if it was every human on Earth, he figured the fleet would've disobeyed his orders, his whole Xandar Hero thing be damned. Someone would've snuck a taste of legit human blood. Someone probably already did. None of them had reacted the same wild, uncontrolled way he had. Peter actually flushes slightly, made possibly because he still has Steve's blood in his system, warming his cheeks, his blood vessels and finger tips that had always felt faintly numb until now.

Steve watches the vampire with a sharp gaze and an uncomfortable feeling twisting in his gut. He looks sick, like he's suffering the kind of shakes that he grew up hearing about when a drunk tried to go off the drink, with what he now knows is withdrawal. It's a very real thing, and just because Peter says he'll live doesn't mean a thing. He can't possibly be comfortable. And if he's in withdrawal, then he's got to have been given something, and Steve's already starting to wonder, with a sinking feeling, when Peter says maybe it's whatever's in you.

Maybe all those people who'd been hesitant when Steve had offered himself up had been right. And, more to the point, maybe he's responsible for all of this. For sickening what's essentially an ambassador of goodwill.

Well, shit. Good intentions and all that.

He blows out a breath, looking just the faintest but guilty. "You're not in there to be punished," Steve says quietly, evenly. "You're in there because I need to make sure you're not a threat - intentionally or unintentionally. If you need help, we'll get you help." But, "I don't know if giving you more of my blood is a good idea or not. I'm inclined to think not. Would regular blood help? Flush it out of your system?"

He's not a doctor, certainly never really had a lot of experience with withdrawal, himself. But his ma was a nurse, and he reads a lot. He's not stupid. There have to be options. One of them is giving Peter another hit. But another could be diluting what's already there. Or maybe there's a third, that he hasn't thought of yet. Maybe he should be calling Banner. Or… somebody. Anybody.

But there's part of him that wants to deal with this quietly. The truce is delicate, and while Steve is often not prone to delicacy, there's so much at stake, here. Everything. And he can afford to be a little delicate, with the human race on the line.

Steve's stare is piercing. Maybe more than he expected, because he has a human's white visceral bordering those intense baby blues. He's pretty sure - mostly sure - that it isn't the thirst for his fancy blood that's doing the talking there.

"No idea. Maybe," Peter sighs between his fangs. "Can't hurt to give it a shot."

Well, it might hurt someone, because that blood has to come from somewhere, but he figures it's a small price to pay not to be rip Steve to shreds just for another precious sip. He hunkers down on his perch, his shoulders hunched up as he grips tight against his arms, as if he can will away the shivering. His fingers feel like they're digging through skin and muscle to the bone. His lips purse. There's the pink glimpse of his tongue at it nervously wets his lips and his lashes flutter as he sucks in a shaking breath.

He shifts his weight, forcing himself to straighten so he isn't curled over like he's been kicked in the stomach.

"Never had anything like that before. There isn't more of you, is there?"

With his ruined eyes, it'd be hard to tell if he was hoping he had Steve to himself...or maybe he was thinking about the clustfuck it'd be if other vampires found more with blood like that.
