______________________________________________________________________________________

I haven't had much luck in starting RPs on this site; at least, people sign up and then don't seem to post. I'll try again one more time, I guess. This is an RP I had on another site; it's a non pony one, but was reasonably successful. Plot premis below, along with info and rules.

 

~~~

 

Rules.

 

1. Anyone can join. Fill out the character form below; if your character is a pony character being adapted for this RP, post the link.

 

2. No godmoding and no Mary Sues or Gary Stus.

3. Absolutely NO Meyerpires or Meyerwolves. If you attempt to join this RP with one, you will be told to change your character. Refusal to do so will mean that you are removed from the RP. Please follow the rules laid out for whichever group your character is part of.

4. Please do not ask questions in the RP thread. If you have any queries about characters or plot, please post in the OOC topic.

5. Try to post a few sentences at a time and make sure that you interact with everyone else. Do not try to take the RP over. You can have two characters; however, they can not be in the same group. If you post a vampire character, then balance it out with a werewolf or a human. If one group is getting too full, then it will be closed.

 

The world is a different one to the one you know, or think you know. As you walk the corridors of your high school, what do you really know about your classmates, your teachers? Could they be hiding a secret? Don't be so sure that they're not; this particular secret is one that if you are a human, you are never going to be allowed to find it out. Vampires and werewolves are not just a legend, they are real. They are all around you. Your best friend could be one, and so could your boyf. Your favourite teacher could be one, and so could the woman who drives your school bus. Unless you know what to look for, you wouldn't ever know. They are so good at hiding themselves amongst humans, as well as interacting with and preying on them. They've had centuries of practice, after all. Both the vampire and werewolf races have good reasons for doing so. For one, there are hunters who back in the past, hunted them down and killed them. For another, it's all about the thrill of the chase. After all, what would be the fun of hunting if the prey was aware that it was being hunted? Some of the creatures of the night actively seek out humans to toy with, to play with their hearts, to lead them on to believe that they are in love. It's all part of the thrill; to trick the humans, and also to enjoy their companionship while hugging the all important secret to themselves. It is for that reason that they attend schools and pass themselves off as humans.

The vampires and werewolves are not friendly. They have been waging a war against each other accross the centuries, a war that's been ongoing for so long that no-one can remember how and why it started. All they know is that they hate each other, and never mix. Both species run in different gangs, and make different friends, but they stick to their own. The werewolves mainly prey on wild game and livestock, as killing humans attracts unwanted attention. The vampires feed from the humans, but can do so without killing them. They merely trance their prey so that they may have a strange gap in their memory, but do not remember the attack where a blood meal was taken from their veins. Some will attend school and mix with humans; others will shun such activities as pointless and instead, hang around the school in their various groups. Werewolves tend to form packs, whereas vampires are more solitary. But one thing is certain; neither tends as a whole to see humans as equals. For one thing, it's hard to see your dinner as being a friend. For another, terrible punishments are visited on those who fraternise with humans; especially those who fall in love with them. Using humans is considered to be fine, tho; and of course, there are those rare night creatures who, despite the risk, may grow fond of humans. But the penalties are too harsh for these night creatures to forget themselves easily.

Things are changing. The Old Order of vampires has run the show for as long as anyone can remember; however, their influence is weakening. Some of the oldest vampires are refusing to follow the old rules any more, and wish to do as they want. The younger ones are more numourous now, and are rebelling against the old fashioned rules and regulations that the Old Order lays down. Some have banded together and formed a New Order; a group that is set apart from other vampires due to the fact that they firstly allow werewolves to join; and second, they feel that the only way to deal with the humans is to persuade them to join. If they agree, they are changed; sometimes, against their will. If they refuse, they are killed. The killings are done in secret, but the bodies are displayed openly, and the humans are beginning to realise that something terrible is going on. The police however are baffled by the killings; there are no marks on the bodies, save two tiny marks like pin pri'cks on the throats, and no indication of what killed them, save that the all the blood has been drained out. There also might well be a New Order member or two on the police force, to falsify evidence and mislead his or her collegues.

Characteristics Of Species.

Vampires.

Vampires come in two types, made and lamia. Lamia are born that way, to vampire parents. They will age up til adulthood, then stop aging. Lamia can also choose to stop their aging at any stage in their lives. However, made vampires are stuck forever at the age they were made at. Vampires can not be made after the age of twenty; after that, a human body just burns out and dies during the change. To make a vampire, a human has to exchange blood with a vampire; this can be done against their will by the vampire's use of mind control. Lamia generally give their children natural names, such as flower, animal, tree, element or jewel names. Made vampires will of course keep their human names. Vampires look human, save for the fact that their skin is paler than normal and their eyes go silvery whenever they extend their fangs. They can be hurt or killed by wood and fire. Vampires have psychic powers; mind reading, mind control, being able to put humans into a trance, and a "mind bolt" which is a force of psychic energy sent from the mind which attacks their victim's body and mind simultiniously. They also have superhuman senses and strength. They are immortal.

Werewolves.

Werewolves make no different between those who are born into packs and those who are bitten. They will age up to adulthood, then stop aging. Werewolves can change into wolves whenever they like; however, if a werewolf bites a human during the full moon, that human will change into a werewolf. Werewolves tend to give their cubs names that mean either "wolf", or that mean wolf characteristics, for example "strength", "wisdom" etc. Werewolves look human save for their hair having a gloss on it like that of an animal's fur, and moving like animals. Their eyes go jewel like when they change into their wolf shape. Werewolves have superhuman senses and strength. They can also sense life force; which means that hiding from a werewolf will have no effect, as they will be able to sense their victim's life force and find them. They tend to form packs, and are immortal.

Humans.

Humans are unaware that vampires and werewolves exist, save in horror movies and creepy stories. They also are wrapped up in their insular high school lives; which clique they are in, what homework they have to do, what to wear at the dance, what crushes they have. Humans also may well be friends with vampires and werewolves but not know their nature. Tho the humans may find out eventually the secret, right now they are in blissful ignorance. Vampires and werewolves are unlikely to tell human friends and lovers about themselves and their world; the penalty for doing so is death. It is also the penalty for daring to fall in love with a human. So a human would be in blissful ignorance that their boyf was a vampire or their best friend a werewolf. To find out accidentally would also mean that their very life would be in danger.

Character Form.

Name:
Age:
Race:
Appearance:
Personality:
Bio:

Please include at least three weaknesses, and no more than three strengths. They must be realistic, and mesh well with each other. Appearance only merits a couple of sentences; a personality description on the other hand should be fairly extensive. The bio is mandatory, and should include a brief history of your character. Please include whether, if vampire or werewolf, your character is a member of the New Order or not. Characters must be aged 14 - 16 if werewolf or human; vampires can be any age, but those who have lived a long time would appear a certain age.

 

Name: Dolph Blake.
Age: 15.
Race: Werewolf.
Appearance: Average height and build, dark blonde hair, blue eyes
Personality: Dominant, tends to be a bit bossy, can be rude and overbearing. He's loyal to his pack and to his friends, and also brave, tho he can be impulsive.
Bio: Dolph grew up in a pack that settled down in the middle of the town. He went to school along with the others from his pack, mainly cuz his pack did not want to attract any unwanted attention to themselves from the humans who were all around them. Dolph has clashed with vampires a few times, and generally has little time for humans, save as toys to play with. He is fiercely loyal to the werewolves, and dislikes the vampires intensely due to the belief, fostered in him by his pack, that the vampires started the war and are to blame for all of it. He's moderately good at his lessons, but better at sports.

Name: Flynn Hart.
Age: 450 years old, looks 16.
Race: Vampire.
Appearance: Tall, thin, dark brown hair, amber eyes
Personality: Cold, distances himself deliberately from others, selfish. Flynn is creative, and is clever, tho he tends to be impulsive at times and act without thinking.
Bio: Flynn is a loner. He tends to move from place to place, never staying around for too long. This rootless drifting existance came into being mainly cuz when he was born, his father took off, leaving his mother to raise her child alone. Flynn has never settled anywhere, and joined the New Order mainly to have a family and to belong. He hates and despises both humans and werewolves, and picks fights with werewolves whenever he can. He sees humans as being nothing better than vermin, and has killed on occasion. Despite his stance that he has no feelings, his father's desertion deeply hurt him, and continues to have an affect on him.

[aRegularPony 306]

Name: Topaz
Age: 341, looks 13
Race: Vampire
Appearance: Short height, longish blonde hair, deep blue eyes
Personality: Childish, gets along with almost everyone. Greedy, and almost gets everything he wants. And, if he doesn't, he looks at people with his puppy eyes, causing them to feel guilty, and usually give him what he wants anyway. Oh, and he likes sweets. (A lot.)
Bio: Topaz was born a vampire, and chose to stay at the age of thirteen so his childhood could last forever. He makes many friends, and sometimes invites them over to 'turn' them. Humans often wonder how he's in high school, and barely ever ask why. When they do ask, he just replies with 'Why? Don't you... Want me here anymore?' And uses his puppy dog eyes. That tends to stop them. He is against the new order, as one of the things he despises most is werewolves. His major flaw tends to be that he reveals his fangs often when he is happy, which is very often.

If you dislike him being nine, I can easily change that. Actually, if there is anything you dislike about him, just warn me. I look forward to this role play, and I will hopefully be more active then previously.

Okay, lets give it a go on this RP...

 

Name: Grek ¨Fang¨ Crowlike

Age: 16

Race: Werewolf

Appearance: Average height and build, white hair, blackish blue eyes (not dark blue)

Personality: Friendly and kind to his pack, angry against vampires that he dont like. Grek is very cautious (god) in the human lands to not make them fin out of his packs whereabouts or that it exists at all, he get mad easily since he have short temper, which could reveal them but hes very cautious and tries to keep it under control... Most of the time (...srry for bad personality, not that good with it)

Bio: For aslong as Grek can remember he has always been with his pack and the others werewolves in school, though he dont like it in school he were forced to go there to get knowledge of the human kind mostly for his packs safety in the human lands. Though his pack is mostly on the strength side he himself dont rely on strength more than he need to, though he has enough strength to overpower he would not use it to reveal his pack and himself to humanity. His clan now adays have been quiet and peaceful enough for the werewolves who live there.

 

hope you like it.

 

Anyways you said strengths and weaknesses so if i post mine will you post yours? Well if i get accepted that is

@@aRegularPony,

 

I would prefer the character to look a little older, maybe thirteen? Then it would attract less attention that he's in high school, cuz he could pass off as an unusually gifted child or something. After all, the night creatures don't want to attract human attention, like hunters. And of course, it's death if a human finds out that they exist and all.

 

@@rolle,

 

Um, I posted my character's personality strengths and weaknesses in the personality segment. That's what I mean by the term; it refers to good character bits and also flaws, cuz a character without flaws is a Mary Sue. Your character seems a bit too intense; refer to what I said about not attracting unwelcome attention.

 

Apart from those things, guys, you're both good to go.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

I'll join I guess. I never seem to have enough RPs to keep me occupied, so I might as well.

 

Name: Mac Tíre* (pronounced mock teera, although he goes by Mack most of the time)
Age:16
Race:Werewolf
Appearance:Tall and muscular, with reddish blonde hair and green eyes.
Personality:Aggressive and tends to be dominant. It is often said, both as a compliment and an insult, that he is more wolf than man. Tends to rely on his instincts, and street smarts. Not the most intelligent or eloquent, he is often seen as a jock in the human world. He tends to see people either as rivals or as "prey" of a sort.
Bio:Comes from a pack that immigrated from Ireland in the 1950s, and is still very attached to it's heritage. Performs mediocrely in classes but is an exceptional athlete. He despises vampires, and will fight them whenever he can. Of course, he'll fight pretty much anyone. He has no humans who he is close enough to sincerely call his friends, and mostly sees humans as nothing more than a source of pleasure. Although he harbored no real feelings for them, he has had several human girlfriends in the past, solely to satisfy his lust- which, by the way, is quite tremendous. He considers the werewolf members of the New Order to be traitors to their kind.

 

 

*Irish Gaelic for "son of the land", frequently used as a word for wolf.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Alex, you're accepted as is aRegularPony. Rolle, you need to edit your character before I can accept them; they're still a bit too intense. I still would like a couple more characters, maybe some humans (if not, I will play them as NPCs as can anyone play minor human characters, just ease back on too much death).

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

In a lot of werewolf mythology they have much faster healing than ordinary humans. Does that apply here, along with the heightened senses and strength?

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Yup, it applies here along with everything else listed above. They also can change at any time, not just full moon.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Another thing I should have asked: do the werewolves have a sort of hybrid form, or is it either human or wolf?

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

In this fic, it's either human or wolf.

 

Btw if nopony else signs up by Friday, I'm gonna start this RP.

[aRegularPony 306]

I also has a question. Do vampires burn in the sunlight? Or, have some other kind of negative effect?

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

They don't burn in the sun, but strong sunlight inhibits vampire powers. Also, they're the ones who wear sunglasses all the time in the summer. XD

[HeavyRain 45]

Character Form.

Name:Sereluna (Or as he is called by his friends Luna)
Age: Immortal but looks 16
Race:Vampire
Appearance: Slightly Tall With White Hair and Red Eyes
Personality: Luna is levelheaded and calm he always thinks things though with the utmost care he is normally is alone most of the time becasue the other vampires of his clan fear him due to his immense strength and intellegence but under the surface he wants to have friends but with the Werewolfs on the prowl he has no time to think of about having friends so will he finally find his calling in life or will he become like most of his clan either enslaved or dead.
Bio: For as long as Luna could remember his clan was the bud of every joke in the vampire heirachy the clan was known as the Seres  they are one of the longer lived clans but due to infighting and the werewolfs his clans power is now a mere shell of its former glory. Luna was the Born under a full moon which gave him his name Sereluna which means child of the moon in his speak. Luna was a very gifted child he was blessed with immense power and intellect which made him feared amongest the vampire clans. Luna is very openminded he is a pacifist at heart only wanting to try and end the rivalry with between the Werewolfs and Vampires but due to his opinions he was branded and outcast and exiled from his clan he will do anything to achieve his goal even resorting to things he would never think of doing

[rolle 320]

Hey prip, do everypony need to live in the city or can they live outside and how big will or is the world right now.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

It's the same as it is now, and it helps if people live in the city so they can interact more with everypony else.

[rolle 320]

So a trailer like 12 paths and a school (+ some other things) that aint really a big universe they live in
