Welcome to Gaia! ::

Immortalis

~Of the various non human races; the Vampires, with their numerous covens are the most deeply rooted in the human's modern day civilization. Many of these creatures keep to themselves but a coven of these creatures known as the Niveus have become rather troublesome, especially in the northern states of the United States, particularly the city of New York. Mercenaries and other elite soldiers have been hired by the United States to deal with the Niveus
but the vampires themselves are adept in the ways of technology and have put up a formidable fight. So now your story begins, will you side with these creatures of the dark, or will you fight for humanity? Or perhaps you shall bear no allegiance to either side, the choice is yours.

The Niveus now own a number of organizations and corporations, ironically they own Victus Pharmaceuticals which is one of the few organizations to manufacture an artificial plasma that can be used to replace human blood transfusions. Of course it is apparent that the Niveus have their own more personal uses for Victus Pharmaceuticals, but of late word of experiments going on within the Victus complex have reached the US government and as such a team of their own are to infiltrate the complex in whatever fashion they see fit, to see what the Niveus are currently up to.

Alexis Chase a high profile ex- military mercenary that has been dealing with this supernatural phenomenon for the last seven years has been called in along with a number of other hand picked specialists to look into the happenings at Victus Pharmaceuticals and to divulge the Niveus coven's true intentions...

The Year is 2034 a not so distant future....~

Her father was never part of her life and disappeared back into the Niveus cult after his affair with her mother. Alexis went into the military at 18 after graduating and was soon recognized for her talents and was recruited for a special operation that involved a Lycan stronghold that had to be "erased" as her superiors called it.

2.
Name: Dante Kolskeggr, or more commonly known as Daken.
Age: 1032
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Powers: All vampires can manipulate mortals in ways only narcotics and the government could dream of doing. Daken has taken a sadistic amount of pleasure in honing this ability to a horrific intensity, actually probing a given subject?s mind and bend them to his will, assuming he can break them with a powerful mental assault. He is also extremely perceptive, although verging on paranoia.
Weapons: Daken is also rather strong, being able to throw cars or tear open a security door in times of particular need. This generally takes a great deal out of him, and is mostly done in times of desperation.
Alignment: Evil
Appearance: Normally, Daken is the epitome of the ordinary. Average height, average build, average dress. However, when he wishes, Daken is able to project his thoughts and emotions into the minds of those around him, thus becoming either a false savior or a horrific demon at will.
Weakness: In addition to his racial weaknesses, Daken is a raving lunatic, suffering from a wide variety of psychological illnesses that fluctuate depending on his moods, which are also subject to what ever he happens to be suffering from at a given time.

Biography: Since he was born, Dante always was imaginative. At times, he was so convinced that his ?friends? were real, that he would simply break down into hysterical fits when people failed to believe him. What would now be referred to as paranoid schizophrenia was considered a curse, or a mark by the devil. By the time he was sixteen, his clan banished him from northern Germany, where he wandered all across central and eastern Europe, meeting with his kind when he could and hiding from the lupines when he had to. Things were very hard on young Dante, and it warped him viciously. After his time in Romania, Dante returned to his clan in Germany, now an aged stalker of the night. The exact specifications are vague, and he never talks about it, but it is said that the night of his return, every last member of his clan were found as piles of ash in their crypts and horrific messages written on the walls in blood. Many rumors spread as to what exactly happened in his time in eastern Europe. one theory is that in his tormented state and loneliness, Dante made a deal with the devil to rid him of his madness, but only wound up worse off and lost any remnant of his sanity. Another is that he met with certain parishioners of black magic and learned unspeakable secrets from them, such unspeakable that they drove him into madness. What ever the tale is, it results in him losing his mind, for who else would have done such an atrocity to their own family?
After the incident, Dante no longer went by his family name, and was called by the name of Daken. Over the course of time, Daken has been hunted by the inquisition, sought by vengeful family members, and stalked by the lupines. In each case, he has made sure that these antagonists met with his darker side and they were never heard from. All of the time, he sank deeper into his madness and devolved into starting wars to amuse himself, all at the urging of the voices in his head.
Through his travels, he has found that most of the vampiric community wants him dead, not only because of his blatant disregard for the secrecy that the Victus deem necessary for continued existence, but also for his hunting of vampires as he has grown accustomed to the flavor of vampire blood.

Virgil hid in the shelter, silent, for fifteen years. It was vampire territory for fourteen. During those lonely years he had only the bible to read, only bread to eat, and a rat to keep him company as he practiced rituals and trained in shadow boxing. Finally at 24, the city had been cleared and a recon team found him-- Having no money to his name, and only god in his heart, he was sent to a clergyhouse. At 27, he became part of the budding order known as the "Searing Fire" warrior priests-- Since then he fought the creatures, not for some vanity or vengeance-- but to protect the sanctity of earth, and fight in the name of god.

(((I hope this turns out well enough, well here we go. whee )))

Men and women in white knee length lab coats circled the room going about their daily duties at Victus Pharmaceuticals. Many people were running numbers through various computers and checking up on the clinical trials that were underway at various hospitals in the area...everyone seemed to be doing their jobs...well all save one.

In the back of the room where a bank of computers and processors were arranged, a red haired lab assistant seemed to be typing up a report on the latest in diabetic care...

"Bryant, I have yet to find anything of any use to you...maybe this is nothing to this rumor."

"Alexis, when have these bastards never been up to anything?" asked a static sounding voice coming from the near invisible earpiece in Alexis's left ear.

The steady rhythm of her fingers flying over the key board were all that could be heard in that end of the white tiled room. The lab technicians continued on with their duties oblivious that they had been infiltrated.

"I don't want to hear any of your stereotypical crap Bryant," said Alexis said tightly as she continued with her invasion of the Victus computer network. The static voice only grumbled in response to her statement, after which it was silent for some time before anyone spoke again.
"Alright, I have run an entire sweep of the network, there is nothing...I swear if this was a waste of my time."
"Oh please Alexis, like you had anything better to do." replied the static voice.
Alexis only rolled her eyes at this and began running a clean up of the system to erase any evidence of her presence in the network.

"I'm done with this, you said you had something good.."

"I asked you for a favor." the voice in the earpiece retorted.

"Yeah...well it's done...I'm tired of being around all these lab coat snobs." she snapped back.

The computer made a slight humming noise as it began to shut down.
"We aren't done Alexis...the guys upstairs are sending you a team to work with, some specialists, we want to get to the bottom of this.."

Alexis stood and turned from the computer terminal, "Damn... a long term assignment, I thought this bloody thing would only take a few days." she murmured.

"Sorry kid, but it has to be done, and they want the best on this case."

"Oh how flattering" murmured Alexis sarcastically as she crossed the tiled room to the glass doors that led into the street, at the door she removed a key card from her lab coat pocket and slid it into the slot. There was a faint hum as it was processed; then with an audible click the door slid open.

Outside a man leaned against the metallic side of the Victus building. He was probably a little under fifty years old and was wearing a heavy jean jacket and had half a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

"I'll stick around for a week...but no longer Bryant." she said to him as she slid off her lab coat and tossed it in a trash receptacle nearby.

"That's what I wanted to hear kid." the man said with a chuckle.

"So where and when am I suppose to meet this team that has been assembled?" she asked.

"This afternoon at South headquarters" he replied as he slid away from the wall and began walking down the sidewalk, Alexis keeping pace on his right as they headed down the sidewalk...

Name: Virgil Cromwell
Age: 31
Race: Human
Gender: male
Weapons: Desert Eagle, sawed-off shotgun, and a one-hand semi-machine gun. All guns clipped with blessed silver bullets.
Secondary Weapons: hatchet, holy cross, holy water
Powers and talents: Versed in the bible
Alignment: Good
Appearance: drawing in progress, 6'3" grey eyes, short buzzed hay-colored hair with a muscular build. Wearing the classic black priest robes and white collar.
Biography: His life was one of pure solitude, a loneliness that lasted for an eternity-- He lived on the outskirts of a human/vampire battleground in a bombshelter, at age nine he had hid in there when vampires raided the city, his parents left to check on something ten hours after the siege began-- and never returned. Virgil hid in the shelter, silent, for fifteen years. It was vampire territory for fourteen.

Virgil survived and ever travels a postless templar to continue god's mission in his dead comrade's steads.

Alexis and her former senior officer from her days in the military entered the city's southern "base" at 3:30 PM. The building itself seemed to be nothing more than an old apartment complex and even the first levels of it were just that, but the lower levels had been turned into an armory of sorts, guns, knives, weapons of all sorts were stored in the lower portion of this building. Even further down below the city level was where the government workers carried out their jobs and such, but Alexis and Bryant only went as far as the armory, which was where the meeting was to be taking place.

Both Bryant and Alexis entered the room silently, Alexis retreating to the corner to lean againist a counter covered in various fire arms. Bryant on the other hand went on to the front of the room and began to slowly survey the group.
Jesse Stevens the foremost in technology and mechanics was there, she was a slender 23 year old girl, with light brown hair and was wearing her signature rectangular glasses at the end of her nose. Beside her was Nathan Brown the famed demonologist and alchemist, he was the first to create the bullet that utilized ultraviolet light to slay vampires. He was dressed in a dusty brown long coat, his rather messy blonde hair was cropped short and looked as though it had not been seen to in days.
Also the famed vampire and lycan hunter known simple as Gibson was in attendance.
Alexis looked at him with a sour expression, he was such a stereotype, the way he looked and acted, she had never liked his attitude then again he had never liked her all that much either.

Virgil Cromwell, a clergyman and vampire hunter was also there, completing the group at six people, counting Bryant. Though Alexis wasn't certain that he would be taking part in the operation.


"I'm glad that all of you could make it" Bryant stated gruffly, "Many of you have probably caught wind of the Niveus coven and their recent ownership of the Victus Corporation. Recently we have come across information that leads us to believe that the Niveus coven are performing...experiments of some sort within the Victus complex."

Alexis gave a short laugh at this, in response Bryant turned his gaze to her. "Anything to add Ms. Chase?" he asked gruffly.

Alexis glanced up at him and smirked, "No Sir." she said sarcastically, a slim razor blade appearing in between her index and middle finger in her right hand. She idly flipped the object through her fingers as Bryant continued.

"As I was saying, we need you guys to get in and see what in going on, and to take care of the problem...in, any fashion that you see fit." Nathan Brown smirked at this, "This should be fun then..." he mused.

"Shut up Nathan, you think just cause they aren't one of us that they gotta die" retorted the young Jesse Stevens her accent slightly southern . She glanced at him glumly over the rims of her slender rectangular glasses.

Nathan only laughed at this, "Yeah sweetie, thats what I think."


Bryant ignored this, "So are there any questions?...the government is letting you guys try it your way before they step in, so let's get this right the first time."


(((Wow we have Dante and Virgil, how ironic this RP is turning into Devil May Cry lol)))

(((That will do just fine)))

((( whee Our guild lurker is getting into an RP. I'm so proud Palpatine. 4laugh )))
