The Van Helsing Group

[Broken_Dreamer1]

Name: Verona
Species: Vampire
Age: a few centuries old.
Appearance: About 5’10, Long dark brown hair that falls just above her waist, piercing hazel eyes. Skin a lightly golden color (due to her Italian background). Lean and curvy body and long slim legs.

Named after the city of Verona, Italy, Verona was born to two small-town peasants. Her father working where ever needed, barely making anything to live off of, so he was grateful when a young member of Royalty asked to marry his beautiful young daughter. She was treated like a princess during the marriage. It was cut short unwillingly when one night during the Festival of San Marco she was approached by a mysterious man, Count Dracula. Most of the memories she had from before her turning are gone, she remembers her father and mother’s face, but truly nothing more. The Count had become her new master. She was created as his third wife, but soon came promoted to being his second-- Aleena was taken off her throne and Verona had taken it quickly.

She isn't a very bright girl, most of her thoughts are childish. She fumbles a lot while talking to the others, afraid of saying the wrongs things. Most of the time she just gives hints to see others reactions before saying what she wants. Although she was very temperamental-- her tantrums came quick and hard most of the time, normally leading the bloodshed somewhere-- she tried her best to be liked. Her height had made a problem of that. Since she was well over two or three inches taller than the brides before she was envied and hated for it.

Weaknesses: Same as the Counts and her fellow brides, and a childish wondering mind.

Strengths: Violent tendencies which work well in fights, strong, fast, and can easily seduce any gender or creature.

Welcome Broken dreamer, you're approved.

 

[Broken_Dreamer1]

One question though... for the one who is playing Dracula, how will he act with his brides? Is he going to be kind to them? Or just have them there to do his bidding?

 

[yeishia]

My thoughts;

Mina was turned and left behind an infant; lets assume a strong mother son bond followed her into death;

She will meet him when he is grown up and as he had retained the same last name she will recognize him

The relationship will be forged during their interactions.

I am assuming that there will be a lot of conflicts on both sides

Mina will be drawn to her son as a mother and on the darker sexual level of the Vampire.

She will also be resentful not having seen him grow to manhood and

of his desire to kill the love of her life Dracula

Will she try to kill him or turn him? or will he turn her against Dracula?

This promises to be a lovely role filled with intrigue and plot twists

If I become Mina I would appreciate creative input in my efforts to do it justise

 

[yeishia]

P.S. She carries much resentment for Jonathan Harker

He tried to keep her from her love Dracula and at the same time was not strong enough to save her from this all consuming love….

She had loved Jonathan, resented, despised and hated him all in the same heart beat.

 

[Veroe]

That's what I was looking for in the bio Yeisha.
Do you still want the role? Because its yours now if you do.

As for how Dracula will treat his brides...that's a good question, my thinking would be a little of both where and to whom appropriate. Though the one to ask and settle this with is Count V since you're asking how he plans to portray his character.

Count me in! * claps excitedly twirling round the room*

Good, and welcome aboard, Yeisha.

One question though... for the one who is playing Dracula, how will he act with his brides? Is he going to be kind to them? Or just have them there to do his bidding?

Well, I think it's a bit of both, what I see is that Dracula has feelings for his brides as well as having them as means to expand his power.

He will be kind when they are behaving properly be it by obbeying orders or even using their own initiative to do something good.

This will vary according to the brides of course, as they each have different virtues and "defects" given their personality and wits in the eyes of Dracula. It would be weird for Verona to develop an elaborate plan for instance, however with proper instructions she could be an excellent spy or decoy.

He will punish them harshly when disobbeying, quarreling among one another or being a burden for his plans.

What I think is that each of the brides, maybe with the exception of Mina strive to look good in the eyes of the Count, almost needing his approval.

Of course if any of you has an idea on how to develop their relationship more just let me know as I'm open to ideas.

Also and this is for Veroe, in the book Dracula's plans were almost to the point of world domination, what is his main and inmediates goals now? and how much does he know of the group?

 

[Katamari Roller]

Actually I was going to have the Van Helsing group arrive together on a ship in New York harbor so Gretchen would've already met Alexei, but she may still be deciding if she'll go through with the engagement, Whiterabbit.

I will be accepting Alexei´s role, after all. As for his relationship with Gretchen, I imagine their engagement could have been started by Alexei´s father, but never finalized because of the war. Then, they could have met when Van Helsing took Alexei away and met Gretchen later on. The fact that the two of them were engaged without knowing each other might very well be the reason they have not got to know each other well enough yet, simply because of a kind of... rebellious spirit.

Hmm...I haven't thought that far ahead into the plot, count V. Katamari (who's in my other group thread) can tell you I like to have set but not fleshed out roles and directions for some character development and interaction but not so much developed plots-because the very interactive nature of an RPG will alter any plot I come up with away from the intended climax.

So all that in a nutshell-I'm open to anyone's ideas on Dracula's master plan.

Oh and welcome Katamari.

 

[CountV]

works for me, just wanted to know.

Hope we get this going soon.

I was think that, since Verona has a very childish mind (Although she will also have a very ADULT mind about her when the time calls for it) Dracula could kinda baby her...?

Just like in your own life how someone acts is how you treat them, but there's always special treatment for each and everyone we know. I was thinking the brides could be that way too.

Mina is currently his favorite, but he has to show companionship to the other brides as well. Just a thought

 

[CountV]

I haven't thought about babying her... sounds fun to me to treat her like a child that needs protection except when she is making a tantrum.

And yes, he will show companionship to his other brides too

[Broken_Dreamer1]

Another thought (I'm full of them today), since it's in the Sexual RP Forums, it is going to be sexual right?

And two, how are the other brides views on female-female stuff? Yay or nay?

 

[Kalika84]

i have no issues with it. besides i would think the brides have been together for awhile it would probably not be an issue for them eitherat this point. draculas not always going to be available lol

 

[yeishia]

I would like to throw out an idea;

What if the love/psychic bond between Dracula and Mina were so intense that it caused the unthinkable to occur…

What if Jonathan Quincy Harker is indeed the son of Dracula

Half human half Vampire able to withstand the sun he has no idea until His Vampire powers start emerging perhaps when he turns 21/25

It might make for interesting plot twists seeing he has spent half his life hunting down his father ..

Tell me what you think


Oh and Mina is not adverse to female female interactions if it furthers the plot but let me clarify; IF Dracula is available or other male to satisfy her lusts, then it is a no brainer where her preferances will lie

 

[Veroe]

Another thought (I'm full of them today), since it's in the Sexual RP Forums, it is going to be sexual right?-Broken Dramer

Indeed, but only when the story and characters' development allows it.

And two, how are the other brides views on female-female stuff? Yay or nay?-Broken Dreamer

I would think that's natural for the characters...but if any of the players playing the brides of Dracula aren't into girl/girl they should say so so we can figure out ways to justify that within the story. They could focus on getting with Mikhail or Dracula in that case rather than their sisters.

What if Jonathan Quincy Harker is indeed the son of Dracula?-Yeisha

[smiles innocently] that would certainly be surprising. [walks off whistling nonchalantly]

oh dear. That does not bode well for Jonathan and Isabel

 

[Veroe]

Every relationship has a few rocks in their road, and that would most certainly be a big huge boulder.

 

[yeishia]

Oh but so very very worth it

 

[lil_squirter]

Every relationship has a few rocks in their road, and that would most certainly be a big huge boulder.

Considering the holy war she is undertaking against Dracula...oh yeah, big boulder.

 

[Veroe]

And it will test the romantic feelings between them...which I hope by the time Isabel learns of the truth of John will be pretty strong. Then add that to the feelings she had of betraying the lifepath as a nun she had chosen for herself and it should be quite the juicy drama for her when it hits.

I was intending it to be a sudden surprise for everyone, though I was going to shoot a PM to you, Lil Squirter, as well as Count V and Yeisha, before we started since it'll have a big impact on how you play your roles in this. however now that the cat's out of the bag I suppose its better that everyone will know that way people can foreshadow it in their posts before hand.

Though its not set in stone, Lil Squirter, if you have reservations or other ideas please voice them here so we can coordinate our efforts for both of our enjoyments.

And don't worry I have no intention of making him Count Dracula jr. My intention is to make him more like Blade from the Wesley Snipes movies. Except no kung fu, or bad attitude.

 

[yeishia]

Veroe

I am soo sorry.....I didnt intend to force the cat out of the bag

*shyly smiling* I can’t help it if we both have brilliant, devious minds that think alike

:caning: Spank me if you must *pout*

 

[Veroe]

Don't worry about it, Yeisha.

Now that it's out of the bag we can discuss and make plans and probably capitalize on it when it happens in the IC much better than if it was a big shocking surprise.
