[Ventus3]

Warning beforehand so that I don't get in trouble:  This is going to be PG-14, because there will be some rather intense fighting scenes, some romance on the side, and yes, I will allow moderate language, but please use it well instead of just sprinkling in curse words.

--2010 Common Era (A.D.)--

Softly crying, in the starless night.  Crimson shines the moon, as vampires run lustfully amok, much to the trouble of their human victims.  So dies morality as the population of humans resorts to finding ways to survive the vampire invasion.  A time of constant starvation and slavery, the humans are considered mere farm animals for their vampire masters.  Humanity has come to an end, as animalistic styles of survival emerge, humans killing and deserting one another to desperately escape capture and certain death.  Even the wealthiest humans hide with their riches, cowering in fear of the vampire forces that have invaded Earth.  Now, with an accidental discovery, young and old humans alike stumble upon the ancient texts of angels in their hiding places.  Long lost texts, of angels that once kept a stable, normal earth, lush and alive.

--5000 B.C.E. (B.C.) Up to 2010 C.E. (A.D.)--

Lush rivers stretched in the world, which was freed of the icy reaches of the Ice Age.  Humans stretched their limbs and started to form civilizations under the watchful eye of powerful beings.  There was definitely not equality in these times, but humans were fueled to invent, to create, to evolve to their highest powers.  Some theorists even hypothesize that this was the era that magic was first practiced.  Priests of various civilizations used magic to help practice special religious rituals.

Meanwhile, in the pits of the Underworld, vampires festered, their past attempts to freeze the world in an extensive Ice Age had now seemed to miserably fail.  These vampires, had finally been defeated by their enemies, the Sera, or angelic beings which assumed the form of creatures.  The bumblebee representing the ancient Egyptian sun-god, Rah, helped to end the vampire's powerful Ice Age, but was forced to spread the remainder of his power into the humble form of bumble bees. The powerful sky serpent, Quetzalcoatl, an manifestation of the descendents of the Sera, dragons.  These dragons came down from the heavens, and gave some knowledge, manifesting into different forms depending on where they lived.  Of course, by 1499, dragons dissappeared from the historical records, when the last of the dragons which existed in Europe, were slayed by the unknowing knights.

Unknowingly, slaying the dragons destroyed the only legitimate source of protection keeping the vampires from taking over once more.  The vampires then quickly started planning over the course of about 200 years.  They slowly organized as they started to slowly populate the planet Earth.  Soon, their prey would become slaves; it was only a matter of 300 years, and waiting for the humans to finally reject something that they some had managed to refuse to stray from.  This important concept that humans had not rejected, was the idea of their strength.  As the depression of the 1930's dwindled away at the humans' overrall confidence, the vampires started to appear in higher numbers, preying on their human victims in literal swarms.  Unfortunately, this depression ended quickly, restored by the growing hope of human society during the second world war.

Eventually, the lack of confidence in the situation of the human race increased within their own race as they made new discoveries, revealing that they were fated to experience more intense disasters as the world's polution increased.  Optimism started to fly away as the year 2010 neared.  The economy was becoming worse and worse, fueling a mass pessimistic state from the human race.  This pessimism sent the vampire race flinging forth, taking their newest opportunity at world domination.  Their powerful magic overcame the long extinct magic of the humans, which had been replaced with their technology in the twentieth and nineteenth centuries.  The vampires quickly overpowered the global military force, by using their sheer numbers, and extremely powerful magical abilities, to overcome the advanced warfare technology that came to challenge their force.  The military take over of the human race resulted in a mass panic.  Vampires stormed the skies, using their dark magic to shroud the earth in a deep black cloud, keeping the sun from coming out.  Humans soon panicked as their resources were taken away.

The loss of morality also came with this.  As the abundant resources of Earth were starting to be taken away to make homes and slave-houses for the vampires and human slaves, humans started to panick, and some more poor countries resulted to intense cannibilism, which eventually depleted their populations, making the remaining survivors become captured more easily and swiftly by the vampire forces.

Now, as humans struggle to survive, the Sera struggle to break the dark clouds cast by the vampires, so that they can release their powerful dragons once more.  Being the extremely intelligent race they are, the Sera predicted the downfall of the humans twenty years early, and thus started to come down quickly to Earth, in the form of ghosts, and place their sacred texts, with the keys to using the powerful magic that the ancient human race once was taught before.  They also started to plant dragon eggs, hoping that one day, they would hatch, and be able to ward off the soon to advance vampires.


Rules:

No god-modding: God-modding is the process of using powers that are absolutely godly (undefeatable or unavoidable).  These powers are not allowed, so make sure that your powers are reasonable. This also means that you cannot kill anybody automatically.  Who dies pretty much goes to me, since I'm the RP starter/owner.

No perfect characters: Perfect characters are annoying, and they steal the limelight, please do not make one, or else I'm so not approving that profile.

Image policy: You can not use an image for description.

No bunnying (taking over another player's character) unless they allow you to do so.


*Now pat yourself on the back for reading this far 8D*

Sign up:
Name: (in the words of Bon Qui Qui: "We can do it your way, but don't get crazy." (Mad TV) .)
Age: (Vampires don't really have ages, just apparent ages.  For apparent ages, anywhere between 16-30 is fine.  For humans, any age is fine, as long as it's not over 80 and under 9, I'm fine.  And if you're going to be a Sera, they use apparent age, also.  Same rules for apparent age. Dragons are going to be mature at about 8 years.  So they should not be very old, like 9-10 years old after the time they hatched [it takes about ten to fifteen years for a dragon to hatch)
Side: (Humans [Surviving as a human], Angel [Warding off vampires and protecting humans], Vampires [enslaving humans and killing them for your consumption, basically].)
Appearance: (A well written paragraph or two describing what your character wears, looks like, does not include weapons or magical tools)
Personality: (How your character acts, and what their true personality is deep down.  Be sure to describe in detail to take up a paragraph or two.)
History: (How have they come to their position.  Are they a general in the vampire's forces? How so? A good paragraph or two to clear up the past of your character.  This is also a chance to explain why they act like they do to other people.)

--Dragon only:
Location Hatched: (Choose a mountain range or forested location, somewhere where humans would be rather sparce to none currently.)
Draconic Ability: (What kind of method do they use to force vampires back into the

--Sera Only:
Rank: (I have taken 1st, 2nd and down are available at the time this RP is posted.)
Angelic Power: (What kind of power do you have?  It must be associated with light magic such as healing, or casting extremely bright light that repells vampires, etc.)

--Humans Only
Magical Element: (Light, fire, earth, life, or water.)
Weapons/Equippment: (You can use modern weapons, but they must use magic in some kind of way (i,e. a gun that uses light magic to form powerful bullets)

--Vampires Only
Magical element is automatically dark, so I didn't really think Magical Element would fit here.

Weapons: (Their technology is rather primitive.  Think of Midieval weapons being the furthest they've advanced in that area, with some magical enchantments to highlight their expertise in dark magic. [i,e. A sword that is surrounded with a dark aura for extra damage]).

Humans and Vampires:
Abilities: (What can you do with your weapons and magic?  Please list the various things that your weapons and magic allow your character perform).
