(Guess who has the strep throat? They're writing this post and eating penicillin like candy.)
You awaken.
For a moment, you have absolutely no idea who you are and where you are. That moment continues, and after several minutes of lying there in a grey, throbbing haze and a rumbling belly, you conclude that you
really don't know what happened last night.
Did I get drunk? Uuuunnnnnngggggghhhhh.....You rub your face and slowly rise to your feet, feeling rather chilly and as though your entire body fell asleep. After looking down at your
[Gender] body to ensure that it is still yours, you groan again and rub your face.
I am never drinking again.Your stomach grumbles.
After the next drink to go with... breakfast?The memories of last night start to come back, as well as your name -
[Firstname Lastname]...
A) ...your boss came in late last night, bleeding and wounded. For some reason, he kept sniffing at a cut on your hand you got, and the last thing you really remember is suddenly feeling very sleepy, dropping the car keys, and familiar, glowing green eyes...
[Traditional]B) ...damn, but you thought you were lucky, coming home with the blond(e), brunette, and the redhead. One thing led to another, pills were taken, sheets stained, and inhibitions lost.
[Lust]C) ...pain. Fear. You remember your heart thudding in your chest and running, hand clenched around your wrist to keep the poison from spreading. You remember a sudden sharp pain and watching blood pulse from the stump of your arm before a gibbering, mocking laughter flayed all conscious thought from your brain...
[Fear]D) ...one
fuck of a bender. You got fired just today because you caught your boss embezzling funds, and it (rightly) pissed you off. Some punk said some words, chairs were thrown, police came, and next thing you know, there's a full-out bar brawl going on - and you
loved it.
[Bone]E) ...a ritual gone wrong. You and your coven were just doing your usual summoning of a dewdrop fey for magical research purposes when suddenly, your powers died like a candle that had a jar placed over it.
[Power]F) ...but none of that matters as you feel the Hunger arise. Who you were and what you were to the world? IRRELEVANT! THE WORLD IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT AND IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING!
[REVENANT!]It hits you that you're not breathing. Your heart isn't working - you expect it to suddenly speed up when you realize it, but no.
There's only one thing that could mean, however impossible it is - you're a vampire. A
hungry vampire, and dawn is coming in a few hours. You can feel it.
Traditional: You're a true vampire, with no special bloodline powers. However, you can change your form between humanoid, wolflike, batlike, or even fully incorporeal. Additionally, you have an affinity for certain animals, who will answer your Call and serve you loyally.
Lust: Lust vampires are so named for their power: they appear capable of inflaming passion, inspiring love and devotion, addicting people to its effects, and even shaping people into one another's ideal lover. They are unusually capable at 'rolling' their victims, and feed directly from lust. Their bites are literally orgasmic, and even recalling the bites can cause flashbacks. Likewise, they are capable of inciting physical lust in their targets.
Fear: Fear vampires have the ability to feed on and create fear in those around them. This ability works similarly to the lust in that the vampire who feeds using fear can go longer without blood, though not forever. In addition, they have the ability to allow their body to rot into a decaying corpse or even fall apart without suffering damage. As a result, they are almost impossible to kill without fire. They are able to cause "corruption" with their bite -- unless the victim is sufficiently powerful to resist, even a single bite can cause a victim to decay and die.
Bone: Bone vampires feed off of pain and anger. Unlike the lust or fear vampires, these cannot cause emotions in their victims, only in themselves. Capable of stirring themselves into a blood frenzy, these vampires become revenant-like in their capabilities to withstand pain, their eyes turning entirely black at this time. Bone vampires are capable of manipulating their skeletal structure, often resulting in talons, blades, or various other things bursting from their skin when provoked.
Power: Vampires of this bloodline can consume the supernatural energy of their victims, and have a seemingly limitless well to hold it in. The vampires can pull reserve energy from this aura at will if need be, making them capable of incredible physical feats even when compared to their brethren. As a result of this, they are exceptionally good at commanding groups of vampires, and at being 'food' for the lust bloodline, as both vampires are empowered by the use of the lust. They appear to be similar to the bone vampires in that they are capable of channeling this energy into claws or even extra teeth, although most tend towards magical pursuits.
Revenant: Revenant vampires are wild and animalistic, living only to kill. They do not retain enough of a mind to use any supernatural powers and display an immunity to supernatural powers. They eat bullets like you eat candy and use crosses for toothpicks.

This is a general suggestion game - one protagonist, multiple players. It's not gonna be a permanent game and expect a fast pace.
NameGenderTypeMore stats coming later. We're just getting started.
