This roleplay is rated M for the possibility of violence, gore, drugs, activities of a sexual nature. Of course we do ask that nothing goes too in-depth.

Ѻur story begins in the future the year 2020 to be exact. (September.) Rather than facing technological advances many areas of the world are found to be going through a sort of technological retrogression. While it is common to see things such as computers, television sets and the like in large cities and supermarkets it is rare in the average household. One such example is the relatively small town of Leeks in southern Tennessee. The small town is surrounded by farmland in the North, East, and West and a large forest to the South. It is what is within this forest that brings us to our story.
The history of vampires is long one started by one particular figure. The fabled Helen of Troy. Born during the times of Mesopotamia, the woman was the first ever vampire. Born, not created. It was true that she was something unusual and at the age of twenty she met a man by the name of Vincent who would become the first ever turned vampire during a one-night stand. Over the years the two would have their fair share of disputes as they slowly but steadily began to populate the human world with vampires.
The process of creating a vampire is a simple enough one. After injecting venom into a human the poison takes a mere hour to spread throughout the victim's body before the human is fully turned. However the process is horrendously painful and many don't survive. However if the newborn does survive, he or she will become a subject to the one turned him or her and until that person will always hold a tie to the one who turned him or her. However all vampires must answer to the Royal vampires, Helen and Vincent Nikolaus.
Vampires do not marry for love - and if it does happen it is a rare occasion; in most instances the marriages occur to produce viable offspring as the vampires who are born are considered Nobles unless directly descended from the Royal vampires. Vampires may have children once every hundred years and in rare instances the child is born human. Though this is incredibly rare and most instances are unreported as some vampires are ashamed to admit that they're offspring was born weak. Keep in mind only the vampires who were born can give produce offspring unless he or she mates with a human - a crime punished by execution.
Helen and Vince also gave birth to a human child who would now be sixteen or so. However she ran away from home at the age of eleven but has yet to be seen. She is married to a hunter - however this is nothing more than a marriage of convenience as well, he supports her and she provides him with information on vampires and the like.
Returning to our story, Vincent and Helen did not have any children until the late 1800's when their daughter was born. A relatively young vampire, the "teenager" is soon to take her mother's place as queen after marrying her fiance, though this marriage was of course arranged by her parents and the Council - which is comprised of the oldest vampires after the King and Queen.
As of late due to the high population of vampires found within the forest the Hunters Society - which of course hunts all "dangerous creatures that pose a threat to human life," has taken an interest in the small town which has had a relatively high mortality rate over the years. Specifically the past fifty years the Royal and Noble vampires have taken up Headquarters in the forest and called it home. The Society then sends out a vampire hunter of considerable recognition to check things out and track down the Royals.
When the heiress to the throne meets the hunter and leads him to her home, and as more and more hunters arrive in town - chaos begins to unfold and all Hell breaks loose as what is sure to turn into a full-out war begins to play out as the Queen demands that her daughter fixes the mess she created•

Before we begin I think it ought to make a few notes.
~ There are four roles that must be filled in order to even begin the roleplay, (or at least it'd help,) and from there we can have as many other characters as you'd like. I will highly encourage people to play multiple characters in this, even allowing up to eight per person, as long as you can manage them. I'd like this to be as interesting as possible and would love for this to continue as long as possible as there is no real point at which it must come to an end.
~There is also a set of "premades" that I couldn't help but include, and while I'll post a few specifics about them, you may do as you please with them. [These premades include the four roles that need to be filled.]
~While it is stated in the storyline how the roleplay needs to begin, anything can happen during this time as long as it continues along this general timeframe, and it's okay if the roleplay continues past the point mentioned.
~A trait relative to Noble and Royal bloodlines only is that the vampire have the ability to literally cause temperatures to drop and windows to ice when pissed.
~These are not Twilight vampires. These vampires can go outside in sunlight however they do not sparkle, though most prefer to sleep during the day. They possess superior strength and abilities, however they can be killed with a silver or stake that has been blessed by a priest as well as by being dismembered and having the remains burned to ashes. o_o; There are also expensive potions made of acidic poisons that slowly kill a vampire if it is inserted into their bloodstream. Vampires can feed off one another however human blood is much more nutritional as well as tasteful and animals are generally a last resort option.

No how much we hate them, they do keep society running
My rules for this roleplay are pretty simple. Literacy is a must, when I say you must be literate I don't mean you need to be absolutely perfect but I would prefer it if you could write at least a paragraph and keep an eye on your spelling and grammar. I would really prefer not to see a whole armada of one-liners so try to save them for real cases of writer's block. Let's also avoid quote towers. You may play a maximum of eight characters though this number might change if I see fit. The basic rules also apply here such as no godmodding, flaming or powerplaying. Mature themes are bound to appear here [sex, drugs, etc.] so lets try to be mature on the matters and don't over do it. And most importantly have fun.
Oh, and silly me I almost forgot. I do hope everyone knows to use something to signify OOC!
--------
Premades [Please make a profile for them.]
(Want to be the character but have an issue with what I have here? Let me know and we can work something out.)
*Helen Nikolaus~ The Queen of all vampires, as well as the absolute ruler of the Nikolaus household. Once she states something generally there is no changing her mind and her husband has little say in matters relating to that though he does have a say in matters relating to the Vampire world. (Haha, I just reminded myself of the Wizarding world in Harry Potter.)
Played by:
*Vincent Nikolaus~ A rather laid back man who was turned by Helen millenniums ago. He seems to care little that his wife doesn't really allow him to have a say in the household, though the occasions he does care a fight generally ensues and these are never pretty. The two have had countless fights and separated just as many times over the years and it is a miracle they remain living together in the opinions of some.
Played By:
*The Heiress~ This is the first-born child of Helen and Vincent. She seems to possess quite a bit of her mother's attitude and has a fascination with the human world which often leads to her breaking her curfew. She doesn't particularly care to take the throne however she is still open to the idea. Though multiple members of the Council have been forced to question the Queen for allowing this as it seems she is less than sane at times.
Played By: Soquira
*The Hunter Sent By The Society~ Having hunted for years he is fairly well-known for his work.
