Mantra, Thats ok. As long as you make posts, its cool.

Donsehan, when the charater was first made, no. However, you may give him another if you wish.


wow I have been out of the game or something, I must've totally missed something anyway, I was wondering if I could give him sword proficency so that in case he runs out of bullets or something he can use a sword as a back up or something.

btw, ready when you guys/gals are.
 
Sure. The last time I had a fight with him, the gun exploeded and he was defensless lol, so yeah it would be good to give him a sword or something!

Well with the two holy guns, also a pair of holy blades, that look like this

using them backhanded and carried along loosely hung from straps so that it is partially concealed under the jacket in a cast iron sheathe.


also question:

what does it mean for Alaric to be hunter in terms of physical capabilities? and how resistant to vampiric powers is he? (illusion, other mind affecting stuff, and energy blasts of some type)

I hope this brief info will help with any fuirther questions of slayers v.s. Hunters.

Slayers
They learn from any age *infancy, teens, middleage* to fight Vampires. They might be skilled in certain areas of fighting, but posses no real strength or imunity aginst attacks. However this does not mean they are weak. It only means they are more suceptible to mind tricks. Like mind control.

Hunters
When born, their blood has a small gene difference. The slight change is not very noticable so many hunters do not realize what they are. This difference, makes their mind stronger aginst mental attacks and they are able to push aginst the mind invasion. Their are times however that this will not work. Their senses are hightened and they are able to sense a vampires aura. Aura being the small wave of energy that they give off. HUmans posess this to, but it is different from a vampires in a way that one standing next to the other you would be able to tell them apart blindfolded. In some cases, another sense is hightened as well, but only one. Either Sight, Hearing or Smell. They can still turn vampire, but it would take a very strong vampire to do so. Since thier blood has that small gene difference to it, many vampires seek this blood and die attempting to kill the hunter and drink his blood.

I hope this is good, and if there are any more questions, please feel free to ask! Also, in a few hours, I will be posting the major points of the last battle Draicus was in as soon as I find the file. I printed it out ealier last year and hopefully have it saved in a file cabinet.

Unfortunatly I printed out before the battle, so below is what I have from memory of the battle. Also, since I do not have the old files, the dialouge included is small cuase I can't remember word for word what was said.
Sorry its kinda long, but this is all I can come up with just off the top of my head. and if there are any queations, please ask as I know this might raise some questions lol

Scene: Warehouse.
People Inside: Draicus, Alaric, Miyu, Zeke, and 5 npc Vampires.
Location of people: Alaric has just chased Draicus up the flight of stairs located near the far back wall on the left. Draicus has hidden in the only room upstairs and Alaric has only just got up the stairs. Miyu and Zeke were surrounded by the 5 npc Vampires and have almost defeated them.

Draicus had waited in the shadows of the room. As soon as Alaric ran into it, the door slammed shut and Draicus began to chant. Alaric pulled out his second gun as his first had recently backfired on him earlier rendering it usless. He fired straight at Draicus. The bullet entered his shoulder. He grimaced aginst the pain as the holy water blossomed into his body. He continued to chant and slowly the floor glowed a deep red color. An intriquate design showed up on the floor around both of them.

After finally killing the onslaught of vampires, Miyu and Zeke ran up the staris of the warehouse. Seeing the glow from underneath the door, they instantly knew where the battle had gotten to. Miyu grabbed the handle and pulled the door, but it remained in place. Laughter could be heard behind it. "Try all you like. This fight is contained here. No one gets in...and no one gets out."

Alaric looked back at the door and them to Draicus, "What the hell have you done?" He asked. Draicus smiled. "Look to the floor. You think I would want anyone to intrude on this battle? I will not lose to you." Alaric cursed loudly turning back over to him. Draicus laughed again. "You honestly think that your guns will do more harm than this?" He asked. The shoulder that had been shot pulsated pushing a thick stream of blood out. t had mixed with the holy water and was slowly and painfully cauterising the wound.

Alaric glared at him. The battle was not going good at all. Draicus moved again dashing towards him. He grabbed Alaric roughly Pushing the blade aginst his throat. Alraic struggled aginst him and pulled his gun up shooting Draicus in the other shoulder. He jerked Alaric's neck to the side and bite down drinking deeply from it. He ran his tounge over the wound forcing saliva into the wound. Instantly the small pinpricks healed up. Draicus threw him to the side.

"I've long awaited the day I could do that to you. Do you honestly think it was any vampire that had killed your family? Even Zeke was thrown off guad by the attack. Fealing guilty he had not protected your family, he left you...left you when you were a mere child. Since tjem I have sought you out. I knew your blood would be dtronger as you aged....youd make a fair vampire ruling with me. Even if it had to be aginst your will."

Alaric grabbed his neck feeling the effects of the bite already. His neck burned and his blood felt like it was on fire. He stood up and grabbed his gun as it had fallen in the brief struggle. Draicus had just turned his head looking at his shoulder, "Alaric, how many times..." The bullet fell from his shoulder and dropped to the ground, "Your bullets won't work aginst me." He left out they wouln't completly work aginst him.

Draicus could already feel the effects of the amount of holy water trying its best to course through his veins doing its best to destroy him. Alaric looked up, "Then try this on for size." He fired the gun letting the aim of it strike Draicus in the heart. Draicus fell to his knee and pulled up his blade. Alraic dropped his empty gun to the ground and pulled his dagger out. He ran over to Draicus and as Draicus thrusted to the left, Alarci dodged and drove the dager stright into the most recent bullet hole.

Draicus screamed in agony as his body caught fire and slowly burned to ash. Immediatly, the red glow and patteren on the floor died down as well and Miyu and Zeke stumbled into the room. Seeing his wounds, Miyu grabbed one side and Zeke his other. They walked down the stairs discussing the fight. Alaric reloaded his gun and sat on the couch.

Meanwhile upstairs, the ashes of Draicus shifted out the small cracks and arranged them selves on the pavement outside. Within moments, his body was filling the void and a few minutes later, he was compltly destroyed. "Alaric...." He called out in almost a sing song voice. Alarac looked up and ran to the window of the warehouse. Miyu shook her head in disbelief, "We saw his ashes..." She whispered out. "Something that evil never truly dies Miyu." Zeke replied firmly. Nodding, Miyu ran to the door as Zeke grabbed his sword and Alaric his newly loaded gun.

Miyu was the first out and was hit with a blast of energy. She flew back knocking into Zeke. He caught her and layed her gently to the pavement. She had not been struck dead, only lost conscicne. He dashed at Draicus and thrust his bladeleft not bothing to unsheath it fist. The sheath flew to the left and the blade hit Draicus on the flat side not causing any damamge.

Alaric raced out and fired his gun into his chest just missing his heart again. Zeke rolled to the side and stood back up as Draicus charged him. Miyu sat up and looked around. Seeing Zeke in danger, she summoned a green sphere or energy and forced it as hard as she could towards Draicus. The blast hit him in the back. He smiled and turned towards her, "Save your weak magic and let the true warriors fight. He grabbed his Sword up and Charged towards Alaric

Alaric was fighting the blood change. The small blue braclet around his wrist glowed bright. His blood was hot under his skin. His blood fighting off the blood Draicus had forced into his bloodstream. Draicus rasied his Sword rushing in a forward attack. Alaric grabbed his side aginst the pain and ducked under the blade barley. It skimmed his back cutting through the fabric of his shirt and slicing his back open. The wound wasn't great, it appeared to be like that of a deep scratch, but the pain made it feel worse than it was.

Zeke had snuck to the left of Draicus and Miyu to the right. Alaric seeing them, raised his gun with the last bullet it had in it. Draicus smiled not having sensed the other two. "Go ahead Alaric. Pull the trigger. But realize this. After the change in you, I can contorl you and make you my puppet. and when that happens, I will slowly drain your blood. You blood belongs to me." He smiled again welcoming the bullet as it flew in the air towards him.

Seeing the chance, Miyu summoned anothe sphere of a differnt color. She aimed it towards his heart but only from behind. As it neared his heart, Zeke dashed in and stabbed him deeply with his sword. The simutanious combination of attacks was not something he had expected. He felt them all and at the same time it felt like only one full blast. His heart fell to the pavement. Fire surrounded him and the heart burning it to ashes. Alaric, Zeke, and Miyu stood watching an hour....two hours....three hours....nothing. The ashes remained. the wind blew soflty scattering them. In relief, Alaric sunk to his knees before passing out.

Days later, he awoke in a bed. Miyu and Zeke had carried him to the small house on the hill Miyu had chosen only a week before. A red trim fence stood outside and it appeared to be a house anyone would have lived in. Remembering the fight, his hands went up to his neck. He had been bitten. Had he changed. He started to shake feeling with everything inside him. He couldn't feel anything.

Had he..no he had not imagined the bite. He closed his eyes and thought hard about it. There...he could feel it. But it was locked away. A small bit of Draicus still lie in him. Not alot, just enough they might just might be able to sense each other. He looked at the small braclet on his wrist. The bright glow of it from when he had been bitten was now gone. It was now like he had never been bitten. The braclet hung there like normal.

Half smileing, he sat up. It had not been a month ago that he would not have trusted a vampire. Nor would he have trusted someone that knew about his past as much as Zeke. These two people...no friends were not something he had expected. He rubbed his neck and walked to the living room where they sat.

Meanwhile......
The wind had blown across the ashes. They mixed in the wind dying down in different areas. It had been a few days and still Draicus had not regained his form. But finally, all the ashes had come together. He stood up and looked around. He had been "reborn" in a state he had been to before. It was at least 3 states away from where he had "died" He extended his arms and stretched his legs. He tested out his entire body smiling he had even kept his clothing. This was a good thing as it had already attracted attention to a small group of people when a man arose from out of no where. He raised a hand and tried to toss a small energy ball towards a road sign. Nothing...he cursed. His powers were drained. That fight had nearly destroyed him. He shook his head and looked around. A few humans walked by and it was then he felt the first pangs of his thirst. Smiling he thought to himslef, This isn't so bad...maybe I can regain my powers easily....but first....a drink. He licked his lips and walked towards the first human he saw.

okay so in terms of what their bodies can handle, hunters are for all purposes and intents human right? (like their bones crack/fracture at 250 pounds per square inch, and they're not stronger or anything like that) Just want to be really clear about this so I don't overstep boundaries and stuff.

oh yeah what kind of guns are they? (do they have hammers? and are they auto or semi auto and blah blah blah)

I think it would be fun to play Zeke, if that's all right.

I have a question though, since he was part of the Dryad, does he have any magical power? It doesn't say anything in his bio.
 
Kool. Technically no since he became mortal for going aginst them in the past, but I was going to let him regain his powers but still be mortal. Basiclly he powers entailed: Battle magic, some healing of minor wounds, leviataion of up to 10 feet in the air. He didn't have much, but the one big thing he had was called Wandering spirits. He could go to a safe place and sleep. His spirit would leave his body and though it was not solid nor could anyone see it, he could travel anywhere and listen in to conversations. The only downside is it leaves his body vulnerable to attack. Any more questions?

I need a little information on the vampire lore in this rp.

When you kill a vampire does it turn into dust?
Does every human that is bit by a vampire turn into a vampire?
 
I am not sure on the true lore behind vampires, but for the rp, I was thinking vampires can only turn a human if they want to. As for their death, they could turn to ash since that was has draicus died the first time. However, it is alright to make the vampires corpse remain if you wish.
 
You could make it specific. They only ash if they are killed by sunlight. Otherwise, a corpse remains.
 
Or perhaps only the really old ones turn to ash ..... Personally, I rather prefer that all vampires turn to dust when they die. Less mess and helps explain why no one has ever 'recovered' one.

Be even better if they turned to ash, leaving behind a fresh pine or lemon scent ... :D
 
It would help if when a vampire dies they turn to dust. I would like to keep my character in the dark a little longer and I don't know how she would rationalize finding a vampire.
 
That is a good idea. It would be bad for police and detectives to find a body with fangs where the dna doesn't match up a normal human beings. With slayers out like they are, many bodies would be laying around and it wouldn't look great.
 
I have a question then, could the vampirism be a mutated gene? My character is a killer yeah, but she is also human. Would it be strange for her to have been the product of two human parents one of whom passed a slightly mutated gene onto her unborne fetus? or would that be to much like Blade?
 
Using blade as an example is actually a good idea, I have a short tory explaining why Miyu and giddian hate each other and she is like Blade, but is still affected by silver and crosses. Her mother was human, but her father vampire, therefore she can walk in sun but she will burn, a very bad bad burn, but not die. It would take several dats for the burn to heal itself as it would be like a thrid degree burn, but she doesn't really know this, she just thinks that a few hours of day light can't hurt her and usually only goes out during dusk. So she doen't burn. But if it were like noon or early in the moringing, yeah she burns! If you would like the story pm me for details, its not all that great, but it explains a small bit of Giddian and Miyu that isn't in here, but the fight with draicus and the character Zeke do not appear in that story, it is just something I wrote to explain why the hate each other and why Giddian keep sthe fangs of the vampires he kills.

okey then. She fears the hunters as always. She is a vamp. A deadly one at that cause she kills without thinking. She is human enough to not be able to control that urge. But she wears her humanity like a coat. Does that make sense? Its there mingled with the vamp scent and tends to throw other vamps off. Its not to confusing or silly is it?
 
I wasn't confused at all. I love your concept, Avalon. It is very good, and the way you two fight about it... almost like looking at two sides of the lifestyle of a true vampire.

Do you hide and blend in, helping society like some shephard tending his flock?

Or do you conquer and eat your fill, accepting what you are, like the great white swimming deep in the sea.


Hmmm, was anyone else a little turned at the potential cat fight? Just me... lol.
 
Whose helping society? Dria just likes to keep her hunting grounds clean...no one likes poisoned meat.
 
I was hoping for a cat fight. They were going to take it outside but... :D
You vampires don't bite anything. :rolleyes:
