Bringin' this one back due to various situations necessitating a total redux of the old thread.

Two warring clans of vampires have been at each other's throats (hue) for the past few centuries. As time's gone on, their scuffles have gotten more and more violent, and every passing day threatens the facade that both they and various other supernatural beings operate under. As such, everyone is getting involved. More vampire clans, lycanthropes, witches, and humans who have knowledge of the magical underworld have all thrown in to the war, each one trying to stop it in their own way.

actual good writing introduction | +

For as long as it has existed, humanity has unknowingly shared its world with a host of supernatural beings.

Behind a veil of shadows and secrecy, an underworld of hidden societies has remained out of the public eye for centuries. Various beings dealt with their own forms of politics, cultures, and wars. Peace in the secret world was rare, and disputes over territory commonly risked exposure of the existence so many struggled to hide. Despite their violence-filled lives, almost all members of the supernatural community could agree on one thing: that mortals as a whole should never have full knowledge of their existence.

Despite attempts to remain hidden from the eyes of mortals, carelessness in the past gave rise to a great many legends. Folklore surrounding the supernatural became a distressingly common part of societies around the world. At first, it was easily dealt with, as information could hardly travel quickly in unadvanced society. But as time went on, it became steadily more difficult to completely cover their tracks, and mortal subcultures dedicated to the destruction of dangerous supernaturals formed. To the luck of those who operated in the hidden society, mortals became less superstitious as time went on, and most willingly waved off their slip-ups with 'logical' explanations.

Towards the beginning of the modern age, a pair of vampire clans initiated a war that would go on for centuries. At first, their conflicts were small scuffles over territory and disagreements over the laws their society set up to remain safe and hidden. For a long while, they were quickly resolved due to the intervention of others in the community. Under the scrutiny of the entire supernatural underworld, they kept to the laws and attempted to remain civil despite the growing intensities in their conflicts.

A string of murders in Italy, the primary home of the Nightkin's leading clans, left a great number of high-ranking vampires dead. Investigations into the matter immediately began, and attracted the attention of House Valtieri, the most powerful and well-organized clan of Nightkin in the area. When the perpetrator was discovered to be a vampire from a local Daywalker clan, retribution came swift and brutal. The murderer, as well as their entire clan, was executed by the Valtieri clan. The leading Daywalker clan in the area, House Acerbi, immediately began to fight back.

The battles escalated into a war that drove the leading Daywalkers out of Europe. Supernatural society as a whole became much more suspicious of vampires on both sides, and did what they could to contain the battles since then. Throughout the centuries, the warring has died down somewhat, but still continues to the modern day.

A recent archaeological discovery in the year of 2018 has attracted the attention of vampires worldwide. Investigation led to the spreading of information regarding the find, an ancient Sumerian tablet with great significance to vampiric history. The leading clans have been attempting to get their hands on it as it moved around the world, in the hopes that it may contain some sort of information that could lead to the end of their long, bloody war.

Along with the war itself, organizations dedicated to the suppression of the supernatural have increased their efforts in response to the growing hostility of the vampires, targeting any and all inhumans unlucky enough to draw their attention. Many communities have banded together to try and stop the war themselves before it leads to the end of their world.

Any takers?

There are a variety of vampires, witches, and werecreatures, as well as humans. I've got the OOC details pretty much ready to go.

Okay, the sound of writing a vampire sounds appealing as I've never truly experimented with that. I'll wait though until the OOC is out to see if it's something for me.

How frequent do you all think the posting will be? (On average.) I know there are rush days where you just go all out, and times when it is slow, so. lol. I am having a crises where this looks very interesting, but am unsure about how I might fit in with time...

Probably a pretty relaxed pace. Not too fast, but hopefully none too slow either.

so... what if on average I was on 2 out of 3 days?
Also, after reading the vampires, I now feel like playing vampire the masquarde bloodline. The feral is so much like the Nosferatu.
Also, applause on the different races, especially the detail about the werewolves, now I really want to join. Though it would be my first giant group rp of this calibre.

You'll be fine with that pace, for sure.

And thanks! I might have been listening to the VTMB soundtrack while preparing the thread, lol. Tremere best Kindred tho.

I'll help you ease into it if you need, for sure. It shouldn't be overly demanding.
