Years.
For years and years, Vampires thought of themselves as Gods, or damn near it. It's funny, to think so highly of themselves yet hide in the shadows out of fear.
It's 1888, and the vampires are getting out of hand. Attacking more and more unsuspecting people across more countries than the previous centuries. And even though their numbers are growing, they are adapting well, to hide among the general populace. "Ageing," being able to stand in the sunlight longer than five seconds, actually looking human, all traits of the virtually un-dead. But what's worse, those who have been around longer have been able to figure out how to raise folks from death, as mindless, highly aggressive servants, or bodyguards. And worse still, all other sorts of miscreants, freaks and unholy things are getting brave as well. Werewolves, shapeshifters, you name it, it's slimy carcass is scooting across the ground somewhere.
Our story first takes place in London, where one very upset Scotsman, whose family bloodline has hunted these abominations for centuries, is beginning to dig, to find the source of these highly aggressive, new age vampires. Will you help him? Or try to stop him from completing his quest to rid the world of the Unholy?

Rules rules rules! Welcome to another RP of mine! Gotta set some rules!
[spoiler=rules]
1.) Normal Subeta rules apply, don't get us in trouble here.
2.) Violence is a must, language will be present, especially from me, romance is a-okay
3.)Semi-lit and up. I understand perfectly writers block and whatnot, but a paragraph a post is easy. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Characters]
Same as my other RP's! A skeleton would be fine and dandy, but I prefer if you type me a nice, long intro. Here is where the skeletons will go! [/spoiler]
[spoiler=plot] Once we get going, all major plot points and other various details shall go here, just in case someone wants to join late. [/spoiler]
Shout-outs to those who might be interested.

(( I might be interested. What are the restrictions on magic and other creatures besides vamps?))
The way some people spell makes me wonder about their pronunciation. My CW shop, and my ping group
OoC// If you can tell me what it is, and I can research it, you can use it!
As for magic, the more 'powerful' stuff should be reserved for later on, once the hunters start getting closer to their target.

Well the character that came to mind is...probably in need of toning back, (in more than just magic) because she gained abilities over a couple years' worth of a campaign. But the basis is she's half astral spirit. Susceptible to bindings and anti-spirit measures, but gets a boost to spells. There's a whole complicated backstory...and assorted related characters that usually come with. But I /might/ not play her. I have a couple other ideas, and I might wanna make someone new.

OoC// Think along the lines of Castlevania meets VanHelsing. Can't go wrong with it if you do!

ooc: I am not off until Thursday, so I wouldn't be able to get a CS up until then but this does peg my interests. Would it be possible for me to bring my gal in? I can make a few tweaks to shape her into this time frame too, she is a shapeshifter and was wandering if those aspects would be alright?
OoC// Shapeshifter? Perfect!

Alas, I've watched neither. Actually...No, Cas wouldn't work here. As much as I'd love to use her, she's terrified of people in general and requires a sizable underground. I may never be able to use her. sigh Stupid rp I made her for died. Or rather, was killed. Even though people were rping still. And then the reboot failed. x.x I'll figure something out.

ooc: you need to see Van Helsing. Its just. all the yes. Hugh Jackman <3
(( Isn't Van Helsing an anime? Well I suppose there's a bunch of works that have similar names, come to think of it.))

I'm in, may take me until tomorrow or thursday for a character though. I have one in mind, but I'm busy trying to clean everything (camping in 2 weeks and having a house sitter, and my car) and work today.
ooc: : You're thinking Hellsing :) Van Helsing is a live action movie starring young Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh. Van Helsing (portrayed by Hugh Jackman) is a Vampire Hunter with a cold shoulder basically lol. The movie was produced in 2004 - buuut its one of my faves.
OoC// Correct, I was thinking the Hugh Jackman movie. It was alright!
So, those of us who have characters in mind want to get something started?

Thinking of doing a werewolf/vampire hunter but I was just curious about werewolves having to change. Is it controllable the rest of the lunar cycle and not during a full moon, never controlled, or always controlled?
OoC// Depends on the age of the werewolf, how long they've been a werewolf, and whether or not they enjoy killing/ being consumed by bloodlust or not. Think I'm gonna bring in an old vampire hunter who just so happens to be a werewolf as well. Just like vampires, they will be frowned upon, just some less than others lol.

, she's been one for 10-15 years ish (since being a kid/teen), doesn't like to kill but likes the freedom of escaping into the Wild (she's not a fan of typical woman roles/clothes). I was leaning towards sometimes controllable and sometimes not
OoC// I'm thinking that during a full moon, most wouldn't have a choice. Others can until they tire out, and new/inexperienced werewolves just don't have a choice in general, are some of the more dangerous ones next to those who have been around forever.
