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!

Edmund Deyncourt | Vampire: The Masquerade

[Character is a vampire. Would prefer to keep it to the Gen or Violent scenarios.]

Have an outsider, 4-ish for gen and feel free to Embrace him if Edmund wishes

Ben staggered, holding onto the wall. He held onto consciousness only by sheer determination. He’d been ambushed several days ago on his way home. Honestly, he wasn’t entirely sure how he got away now. His captors must have thought he had died and overlooked him while he slept. What he did know was that he’d woken both alone and finally free to move.

So here he was, stubbornly making his way toward his apartment until his strength finally gave out. His skin was paler than natural and his lips were slightly blueish but he didn’t look like he’d been in a hospital or a shelter. In fact, his clothes, though wrinkled and clearly worn for several days straight, were quality, possibly even bespoke. He turned his face toward the sky as his legs refused to hold him up any longer.

((Forgive me! Work was a bit busy!))

"Well, well. What have we here? It's a bit late to stumble home from the bar, Jack." Edmund stepped out from the shadows and stared down at Ben. Through Ben. He was paying attention, but there was so much to pay attention to... He gave a sharp laugh and when he looked away from Ben and spoke, it was in a sing-song voice that might not have even been directed at Ben at all. "Just like old times. You and me and our patient makes three. I miss our hospital. No need for the old game now, I suppose."

Edmund abruptly looked down at Ben, very serious. "Son, forgive me for saying so, but you look like hell. Let me get you patched up, somewhere safer." The offer might have been more comforting if his suit wasn't rumpled and stained with blood.

To be fair to Ben, he was normally fairly observant. Unfortunately, he wasn’t exactly firing on all cylinders right now. His vision kept blurring in and out. He felt like his lungs couldn’t keep up with his body’s need for air yet he also couldn’t catch a single deep breath. He couldn’t control his breathing at all, for that matter. He kept staring at the night sky to remind himself that he was out of that place. Most of the other man’s words completely escaped him. He barely noticed the man’s presence and heard the last two words.

Ben reached out a hand, much cooler than a human hand was meant to be and quite sweaty despite the comfortable weather. “Please,” he whispered, struggling to just get that out. Clearly, he was not stumbling home from a bar with less than an hour until dawn. Anyone with medical knowledge would be able to tell quickly that this was something quite different from alcohol poisoning.

Especially someone like Edmund, who knew the signs very well. He tsked softly to himself. "Well, well. Someone's been naughty. It's a riddle, Jack. Where did the blood go if it isn't all over the boy?" He laughed to himself and bent down to scoop Ben into his arms. In a sing-song tone, he said, "My bedside manner is a fright, but a little birdy tells me you won't mind." He bit into his tongue and let a drop or two of blood drip into Ben's mouth. Not enough to turn him, just maybe enough to begin healing him.

Really, it wasn't any fun at all when the prey was already half dead. Was he prey? Edmund looked Ben over as he walked towards his home. "Maybe. Old Jack hasn't had nearly enough fun of late. Too many cats and not enough cream. All the mice stay home after dark." He turns a corner and continues walking towards a large, gated home decorated to resemble an old English manor.

Sorry I took so long to reply. Life kind of interrupted.

Ben finally lost the battle with consciousness as the man bent down next to him. It was just as well. He would have panicked at the blood dripped into his mouth. Instead, his head hung over Edmund’s arm, mouth just barely open for the blood to drip in so he could begin to heal.

No worries, been going through a rough patch myself.

When Ben finally came to, he'd find himself laying in a bed in an old, richly decorated manor. His clothes were changed and the replacement t-shirt and shorts were, perhaps, slightly ill-fitting. A tray of cold ham, fruit, and warm tea sat beside him. The last fading rays of sunlight glinted through the heavy drapes of the guest bedroom Ben was in, and a fire crackled in the fireplace.

A housekeeper entered and took his temperature and pulse without comment, before leaving again.

Then the door opened again, and Edmund entered. He was neatly dressed in a suit and carried with him a bag full of medical supplies. If it hadn't been for their encounter earlier, Edmund might even have appeared to be a human doctor. He said softly, "Awake at last? I'm afraid you lost a great deal of blood, quite a bit more than I thought you did. Frankly, I'm amazed my attempts to heal you didn't backfire. You may feel thirsty and be a bit sensitive to sunlight for a while. It will pass. Other than that, how are you feeling?"

Edmund sat down in a chair nearby with his bag and peered at Ben curiously. "And, if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to find yourself in an alley at that time of night? Considering events that's no time for someone like yourself to be wandering about alone."
