[OoC] Fanged Brethren ~Under Construction~ [Closed]

[ninjamaos]

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We're just throwing around ideas right now. Have one/several/a billion and five? Let us know! Or come tell us how your cat was accidentally turned into a vampire by your creepy neighbor! Or run away in horror and disgust, but not too quickly, human snack *pointy smile*

Hello, and welcome to the OoC forum for the vampire RP, Fanged Brethren. This is a LITERATE Role-Play. It's also semi-private, run by me and Icewing. This means we are accepting new players, but you must "audition" for us first, and we will let you know if you are accepted.
Our apologies, but we are NOT ACCEPTING ANY MORE PLAYERS CURRENTLY. There may be a time in the future when we once again open our doors, but at the moment we are CLOSED.

Nevertheless, please feel free to have a look around.

Ambiance Weasels

In a world where vampires are commonplace but still shunned by human society, there is a group known as the Fanged Brethren. As one might expect, it is made up primarily of undead, vamped-out Fangers (plus a few of their fang-banging followers). Most vampires gravitate to the Brethren out of a desire for companionship, understanding, or help with some of the issues and concerns that are unique to those who subsist on blood (for instance, most vampires are very good at removing bloodstains). However, more goes on behind closed doors than the Brethren will ever admit to. Dare you enter a place of such mind-fuckery blood-suckery that you will never come out alive unchanged?

Terms

Civilian: A human with no vampiric affiliations or a human who remains blissfully unaware of the vampiric activities going on right under their noses.

Username: Icewing
Character Name:Jacques Blanc
Race: Human
Age: Around 24, give or take a couple months.
Faction: Fang-Banger
Appearance: Jacques is quite tall, standing at almost six feet. He has a very thin, light build, and tends to looks slightly feminine. His hair, contradicting his last name, is raven black. It falls in gentle waves halfway down his back. Clearly, Jacques may need to get a haircut if he ever wants to look like a normal male. His piercing black eyes accent his aquiline nose, giving Jacques the appearance that he is always watching his surroundings. The sharpness of his eyes is toned down by the fact that Jacques is almost always smiling or laughing. The only time when Jacques is frowning is when he sees an unorganized room/house/universe or is being serious about something. Even then, his frown usually doesn't last longer than a few seconds before he's smiling again. Jacques tends to wear suits or slacks and dress shirts most of the time. It's almost unheard of Jacques to be wearing clothes that could be considered in any way 'casual'. Jacques has a very fancy and generally flamboyant fashion sense, and this tends to show in his clothing choice.
Personality: Jacques is unique, to say the very least. He has a very laid back, easy-going personality most of the time. The only time he gets serious is when he's a)thinking of how to design something, or b) trying to convince someone that bright pink really isn't the best colour choice for their walls. Still, he is a very fun guy to be around. His utterly flamboyant personality often makes it entertaining to just watch him speak to people, especially combined with his accent. Overall, Jacques is very unique.
Specialty: None yet
Biography: Jacques, as you can probably guess from his name, was born in France. In the city of Marseilles, to be precise. When he was younger, his choice in jobs was very fickle, and one day, he would wake up wanting to be an artist, and the next, he would want to be a governor. Later in his life, when he was about 20, his dream of becoming an artist became true, and he became an interior decorator. He found the Fanged Brethren when he was 22, after he was searching for a job in [Insert country where the Fanged Brethren live here]. He got a job to design the apartments for the Brethren, and, one afternoon when he was trying to figure out paint colours for a room, one of the Brethren holding a glass of blood happened to walk into the room. He found out that they were vampires then, and had a choice between not telling anyone or being turned into a vampire. He decided to not tell anyone, since he liked his humanity and people already considered him weird. He now lives in the apartment the floor above the Brethren, and, while a friend of the vampire, he tries to avoid going near them too often, since he doesn't want to become a hungry vampires dinner.
Least Favorite Food: Any and all meats. Jacques is a vegetarian.
Biggest Pet Peeve: People who speak French with really bad accents.
Personality Quirk(s): He has a very strong French accent. As in, so strong it probably wouldn't even be considered French. This causes some very funny instances when he mispronounces words or they get muddled by his accents. Jacques also gets very queasy at the sight of blood. This usually isn't the best thing when living in an apartment with vampires.

Important Disclaimer: If you do not understand something, it's probably because we haven't finished writing that part of the game. Feel free to ask, but we can't promise you any answers.

Icewing, dear, LET'S GET STARTED!

No plot bunnies from me, I'm afraid, but I do have some "ambiance weasels," which I think are related.

So... I was thinking (uh-oh, better stop me, quick!), and although I really do like the traditional angsty, dark vampire story, it's pretty easy to end up with a sort-of morbid and self-involved story pretty fast. SO I thought we could maybe try and inject a bit of humor into it, maybe by just letting our setting and characters be a little more human and sympathetic than you'd expect vampires to be.

For instance: instead of living in a creepy mansion in the forest somewhere, our vamps live in an apartment building. And when they look in mirrors, //they// are invisible, but their clothes are not. So you might see a floating red t-shirt and jeans. Or a nicely tailored suit. Or a pair of pants with nobody inside them!

And since they live in public housing, they have a large block of apartments reserved for Brethren, but they missed a few... like the little old lady downstairs who keeps a shotgun next to her door. Or the gay interior designer who lives upstairs.

And, much like us normal mortals, the vamps have hobbies. For instance, keeping a miniature rose window garden. Or playing golf. Or collecting action figures. You get the picture.

So.. let me know what you think. I really don't want it to turn //too// ridiculous, I do like the darker bits and being serious a lot of the time. I just thought that if we could periodically inject a little humanity and humor into the RP, it would probably make things more interesting and more fun for all of us. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, though, so I don't go on having my crazy ideas and screw this RP up irreparably. Because that, my dear, would suck.

[Malverne]

ahem...um...hi. So, I'm sortakinda a vampire fan, and I read up there that I MIGHT be able to join...I just have to audition.

So, I'm Malverne auditioning for the role of vampire.

Do you want me to juggle? Do a handstand? Recite Hamlet backwards? Grow wings? I can do three of those things.

[Sly]

Hey there, guys. If at all possible, I would love the chance to audition for this game. It seems fun, and despite the recent craze, I've always been a vampire fan (as long as they're not of the sparkling variety, that is. >.<) So, if I can play your little game with you, it'd be great.~ If not, then just ignore this post, by all means.

[Keylaleigh]

Like the above two, I am interested. If you want sample posts, just go to the Magical Girl RP on this site.

[ninjamaos]

*Ahem* All right. You three, Mal, Sly, and Keyla, please step this way... *bows and gestures to a large room full of people* Here you should find everything you need. As you may notice, we have gathered together two distinct types of human: 'pretty tasty', and 'hot DAMN that's good!'. Your job is to sort them into their respective categories. You have one hour. Good luck, ladies. *Bows and leaves the room, closing large oak doors with a chnNK*

On a more serious note, please allow me to confer with my colleague, Icewing. We will let you know shortly. In the mean time, we appreciate any ideas for characters, plot, or general ambiance that you may care to share with us. Don't worry, we don't bite (usually).

[Malverne]

Even if you did bite, we'd bite back.

So, if the vampires are somewhat mainstream, what if there are vampire hunters who live in spooky castles and talk like they're from a bad novel.

[KoyiTar]

Hmmm I might consider this. I do like vampires from time to time dependent upon the style. Of course it has been a while at all since I have really been in the role play groove I still have to post in the steampunk game and needless to say I am having writers block which isn't good when you rp.

Place me on the list if you like though. So long as there are no stupid sparkling vampires and the like those show up I am so gone.

[ninjamaos]

Koyi, we'll let you know, but as it stands currently I think we may keep this pretty small. As in, 4-5 people maximum. In which case the plan is to fill slots on a combination "audition" and first-come first-served basis. Right now, Icewing and I (that's 2) are deciding on Mal, Sly, and Keyla (possible 3, 4, and 5). So depending on who we accept, we might be at full capacity, even without your lovely face in our ranks. I hate to say it, but perhaps it might be wise to prepare yourself for this eventuality. Like I said, we'll let you know.

Love,
Jam

[KoyiTar]

Eh either way it goes no matter to me really so no biggy.
