|| Death Is Not Always The End ||


The screeches of the dying creature echoed throughout the valley she lay in. The sound was inhuman and frightening. If there had been any living creatures within a mile from were she lay, they would have fled at the sound of her deathly cry.
The man standing in front of her shielded his ears. He had done it, but at what cost?
"You murderer!" the creature cried as cold, black blood ran from her chest where a large stake was driven. "You fool! Do you know what you have done?!"
"I have rid the world of the greatest evil! That's what I've done!" he snapped back. His voice had a certain proudness in it, but there was something else. Doubt.
The creature hissed between her teeth at his answer. It was so typical of the humans. To think of them as evil. But, alas, she could not show them otherwise.
Slowly, a smirk spread across her face. No, she couldn't show them. But he could. With her last breath approaching quickly, she looked up to this man. To this hunter. He was the one who would kill the last of the vampires, and he would be the one who would repopulate the world with them. With a raspy voice, she whispered words of an unknown tongue. The man looked at her suspiciously and took a step back. What was she doing?
"Agerashna volew!" she shouted her last words before gasping one last breath and falling to the ground, even more lifeless than she had been before.
The man's heart felt suddenly constricted and he grasped at his chest. But then.....nothing. Everything went back to normal. The blood that had been pouring from the creatures chest had stopped and only collected in a puddle around her body. He had killed the last of them. The world was finally rid of the foul creatures.



Until the former hunter died....

|| The Story ||


It all started when a major movement started to wipe out all the vampires on the face of the planet. A large group of volunteer Vampire Hunters got together and began tracking down every last vampire they could find. As far as they knew, there was only one way to kill a vampire: A wooden stake plunged through their heart. The genocide went well until, finally, there was only one vampire left. That was taken care of by a young man in his early twenties. He later became known as the Last Vampire Hunter.

Unknown at the time, the Last Vampire Hunter had been cursed. Either when he was killed or died naturally, he would come back as a vampire within a year of his death. Also unknown to him, the curse would be passed on to any of his offspring. So, without any knowledge, the man who killed the last of the vampires had begun the vampire's repopulation. As soon as he found out this fact, he did everything in his power to keep it secret. No one could know that the vampires had returned. If they did, he was almost certain another Hunting group would be formed.

Our story takes place many years in the future. Vampires have been long forgotten and are only in a story children are taught about from their textbooks. Some think of it as a myth, but others think of it as a shame. If only vampires were still around....

The Gagliardi family have lived a normal life. A father and mother with three children that were quite well off. They lived in a rather large home right next to the ocean. Everything was wonderful. Except the father had a secret. He was a descendant of the last vampire hunter. He knew of the curse, but no one else in his family did. His wife was mortal and had no sign of the curse. But his children on the other hand....
He knew they must be cursed as well. He didn't want to tell them until he felt that they could handle it. He couldn't risk the secret getting out.......

But it did. How? He never found out. But when Nikolas Gagliardi was out walking through their small town, a group of cloaked men suddenly attacked him. Caught off guard, he was killed. His body was dumped in the ocean near his own home.
The family never quite knew what had happened to him. Blood had been found in the town near where he had been that night so they could only assume the wost. The killers were never found nor heard from again.
Until one night very recently.... While the children were in school, their mother was home alone. There was a knock at her door and she went to answer.
Coming home from school, the children found their mother. Dead. Devastated from loosing both parents, they did their best to cope.

And then their father returned. He had awoken a year after his death only to find himself underneath the ocean waves. It was a good thing for him that vampires were already dead. He swam to the surface and found his children. He explained the curse the best way he could. He told them not to tell anyone with no exceptions. They would show no signs of their other race until death came to them. He could only wish that that day would not come for many more years....

|| The Sides ||


The Hunters:
Another small group has fond out about the curse. They have formed another Vampire Hunting group and are determined to wipe out any and all of the vampires and their kin. The mercilessly slaughter anyone suspected of carrying the curse. Unfortunately, they did not know which of the Gagliardi family was cursed, so when Nikolas did not come back after almost a year, they only assumed it was the mother. Their children are unknown to this group. For now.

The Vampires:
There are few of these left. All of them can trace their family tree back to the Last Vampire Hunter somehow. Some of them are unaware of their linage and of the curse. Like the Gagliardi family, their parents didn't feel it necessary to tell them. Not yet, anyway.

The Humans:
Most are oblivious to the secret war raging beneath the surface. These include many of the Gagliardi's classmates, town workers, etc. If the secret ever becomes known, which side will they choose? That is up to the individual.

|| Abilities ||


The Vampires:
This is so that everyone has the same idea about vampires. I know there are many, many different fables about vampires out there, so I want o clarify.

The vampires in this story are all basically undead. They have black blood which gives their skin a slight ashy tinge. They are immortal and cannot be killed by normal means. That means if someone stabs them in an artery somewhere, they won't bleed to death. If they get decapitated, their head will grow back. (Weird, I know, but it's what they do.) The only way to kill a vampire is, as mentioned before, to stab them through the heart with a wooden stake.
Their powers include enhanced speed, strength, healing and perception(that means seeing, hearing, touch, etc.). Since these vampires aren't the original full bred vampires, they cannot use magic. That means they can't just throw curses on whoever they want.
They can eat human food, but it does nothing for them. Blood, from either human or animal, is their main meal and if they let themselves go too long without it, it can be bad. They get a blood lust where they cannot rest until they get blood. From anyone. Mainly the first living being they see.
They also aren't affected by sunlight like most people usually think. The only thing sunlight does to them is burns their skin like any normal person if they stay outside too long. Their skin, typically, is paler than most, so it does burn easier. They can be outside without much of a problem, though.
Vampires sense of pain is also muted. Their arm can be cut off and it would feel like a small scratch. Pure Silver, however, does hurt them. Just contact with their skin can cause them pain. If a weapon is made out of pure silver and it cuts them, they will feel searing pain in the spot that was cut.

The Hunters:
Hunters are just humans, but they seem to have something different about them. Their strength is unmatched by any other humans as is their speed. Their fighting skills are superb and can only be bested, sometimes, by a vampire.
No one knows of their identities. They are a very secretive group, only meeting in the most secure locations and keeping their interactions to a minimum.

The Humans:
They are simply humans. They have no special powers, only the talents that they were born with.

|| The Rules ||


I know, it's a lot of reading. But bare with me, we're almost done.

o1: Follow Gaia TOS and the Guild rules, obviously.
o2: Send your profiles to me over PM, please.
o3: I'm aloud to either kick you out or not accept your profile. I don't plan on doing this, but I don't want too many vampires. I may stop accepting vampires after a point since there aren't supposed to be very many.
o4: You can make up plot twists if you wish. I'm not the only one who controls everything. Though I do control everything.
o5: I can add more rules whenever I feel fit.
o6: Please don't go overboard with the 'strength' of your character. Even vampires aren't perfect. Make them get hit every now and then, at least! I hate it when there are characters that always dodge attacks. It's one of my pet peeves.
o7: Hopefully we won't have a problem with this but be literate! I'm not asking for a novel in every post, but at least a paragraph? I understand short posts every now and then, but if that becomes a habit, I may ask you to either leave or fix it.
o8: Along those lines, try to at least make it sound like English is your first language. Grammar and spelling are nice. They help you in life.
o9: If you have any questions, concerns, ideas that you want to run by me first, go ahead and either ask or pm me! I don't bite.
1o: You may play more than one character, but make them different races so we have more variation. I may change this later.

|| The Forms ||


Fill this out and send it to me via PM. Make sure to title the PM "Death's Profile" or I may not accept it.
Remember, a vampire can be fighting for the hunters or a hunter can be fighting for a vampire. It is just unusual.
Also, if you wish to, you may keep the race/side a secret. Just make sure you tell me what race your character is so I can keep tabs on how many we have of each.

Here is the profile forum. I will post all of the accepted profiles there and the rest of you may post there if you wish. You can ask for edits on your profile, comment on the way the plot is going, or suggest a plot twist. Anything goes as long as it pertains to this role play.

|| Characters ||


Ranks Available:
I will add different character ranks as we need to. If there is none open, make up one. For example, there could be a distant relative of the Gagliardi for the vampires. They could be so distant that the two families don't even know of each other. For the Hunters, there are as many Grunts as we need. I will add more as we get them. And for humans, they can be a school teacher, student, etc. I will add those as we get them.

This is set up like this:
Rank: Taken: Character Name screen name

Vampires:
Gagliardi Father: Taken: Nikolas Gagliardi icegirl6274
Gagliardi Child: open
Gagliardi Child: open
Gagliardi Child: open

Hunters:
Captain: Taken: Trace Barone icegirl6274
Vice Captain: Taken: Garnett Crow apocalyptic_penguino
Grunt: open

Humans:
None

|| Setting ||


This story takes place in the fairly recent past. The technology is not as up to date as it is today. That means no computers or telephones. Guns are limited to just old pistols. Think of it as the era Pirates of the Caribbean took place in.

The main setting is a small town next to the ocean. It has the main shops and stores but that's about it. There is a school nearby that most of the children around attend.
