sorry, no malks. we all love malks though. if you want, you can create a mentally unstable vampire and just pretend they're one. infectees usually work out well for that.
and yeah, you can tell world of darkness inspired this a bit.
it's cool you guys are interested in this rp! oh, by the way, i forgot to add something important. you can be an infectee, and have a transformation form. but as it said, you can't ALL be infectees.
that would be boring
yeah, wraiths are basically vampire ghosts. they're loosely based off of chinese vampires.
i mean really loosely.
but you got the picture. they claw open their victims and lick them clean. it's...not as romantic as the others.
it IS spelled K'thulu, but do you expect vampire cops to know the difference?
bluh bluhSilly vampire cops.
So, if this is World Of Darkness with HP Lovecraft, I'm guessing it's gonna be serious. Am I correct in this matter?
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIwell...you do have it correct on that term. buuuuut....
if i were to give it a genre. it would be a thriller/horror/mystery/black comedy. so while it isn't silly, it can certainly be funny at times. there are...certain...npcs who won't shut their trap. and some cases are more astoundingly stupid than others (Galvez the Lamia won't stop stealing cats. For the love of god, make him stop stealing the cats.)
"HEY HEY IBBY INTRODUCE ME"
no yasuke. stop pretending to be real and go run your dumb nightclub, you cocky asshole.
"But I'm so cool
"
anyway. it's usually deadly serious, that's true. but it's more like daily life in that it spins between oddly mundane, dumb, and very very serious.

not too bad, but you forgot two things.
one, you forgot his equipment which makes me assume he goes out there naked.
two, you forget about his wraith powers. like his incorporeal animal form + how good he is at being a asshole ghost (moving through walls, being balls of light, making humans think the table moved by itself, etc.). maybe i should mention that was part of skills? ehehehe.
do that, and i think we're all set.

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIAlright, getting the character typed up took me shorter than I planned. So, here's my character.
Name: Jan Arcos. "Johnny" to his friends.
Age: 314 years old. He's been around for a while.
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: He loves to keep people guessing, but he most likely is a bisexual. Or is he?
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Human Race: Middle-European caucasian.
Birthplace: Rural Romania, although it wasn't called that back then.
Race: Nosferatu
Infectee: Nope.
Appearance: A tall, regal-looking man with definitely slavic facial features, he has medium-lenght curly black hair and a mustache and soul patch combo that looks very carefully groomed. He tends to dress in a wide veriety of outfits, from various kind of period dresses to what might pass for normal street clothing to a black leather trenchcoat. What he dresses in depends on how ridiculous he feels like looking in his big personal challenge to be the most stereotypical vampire possible.
Skills: His vampiric agility makes him naturally apt at acrobatics and free running, also, absurdly enough, tapdancing. He also practices fencing and small arms useage, but he finds little joy in it, as it feels more like a prerequisite for his job. It should also be noted that his English accent is impeccable and kind of difficult to place, but he can slip into an accent that's similar to that of a certain Mr. Lugosi if he feels like it. Vampire-wise, his transformations are limited to that of the Bat most of the time, although he can do the mist or wolf form, but not with quite as little effort. His charming ability is good for a Nosferatu, but he uses it fairly seldom, often claiming it to be used "strictly ironically," when not a result of neccessity.
Equipment: Will always bring one of two weapons, either a swordcane with a silver blade or a good old fashioned pistol. If he can get away with it, he will favor the sword, but he finds that even with his more ridiculous outfits, a gun in a shoulder-holster is more practical. Still, what's unlife without a little fun every now and then?
Personality: Jan is very keenly aware of the various ideas humans have about vampires, and he find them all fairly amusing. On his free time, he enjoys films, books and various other media about vampires, especially the overly cheesy ones. Whenever he thinks he can get away with it, he also tends to act in accordance with one of several vampire stereotypes. His favorites being "Angsty Brooder" or "Shadowy Seducer." When he's working, he's slightly more professional, although he will use the chances he gets to have fun with the human misconceptions about his kind. His somewhat loose grip on certain rules he considers less important have gotten him into problems more than once, but he doesn't really let it bother him. He does an important job, and so what if everything's not just right?
Background: Jan was a mere farm boy for most of his mortal life, until he was turned by a local vampire. In Jan's words, the man was "A Primordial Wannabe, and a right wanker for that matter," and he did not stay with his maker very long before leaving, trying to make his way in a society within a society, neither being famous for being accomodating for individuals with illusions of independence, such as himself. Needless to say, his quest for freedom and a life less plagued by unfortunate individuals did not go well, and he was on the brink of scampering back to his creator and master when the fall of The Impaler opened up some opportunities. He joined the BVI as soon as he could find himself a clean shirt, and have been protecting vampirekind ever since, only occasionally stepping accross a line or two when strictly neccesary.
Thoughts on Other Races: He considers Lamias to be a funny bunch, but not halfway as fun as they are to make fun of. The same goes double for Setites, towards who his japes occasionally have more than a slight edge. On the opposite end of the scale, he finds Alguls to be pleasant, even on occasion impressive.

Liveblog | Deadblogi take it back. we just had a misunderstanding. so i'm keeping it as skills. sorry, i'm fickle.
and that is so accepted. accepted to hell and back. i wish i could use it as a model.
edit: i should add, and i feel a little dumb that i didn't (despite the fact that from the looks of it, it changes nothing), something. this is present time. the revolution happened in 1944, but it's not actually 1944. although the guy who did is still unalive and kicking, and is in fact your commissioner.

bluh bluhdon't worry, he's a nice guy. and, despite that totally being uncool and favoritism, has a soft spot for nosferatu like himself. he's also very pretty.
manly pretty.
i know how you feel, but i can't quite do it right now on account of being too busy. that, and i need gms so shit doesn't get boring when i'm gone. having only one gm is...silly, to say the least.
edit: an h, we have it. yes!
beautiful, i'm on it.

It wasn't always good, being a a vampire. You get turned one day, not knowing a damn thing, and you get plopped into a world full of caste systems, backstabbing, and only vague descriptions of what you even are. You think the gap between poor and rich humans is bad? You have no idea, not until you see what the gap was between old and new vampires. It was that way for the longest time...until 1944. When a brave vampire crushed the heel of Vlad the Impaler, he brought a whole new system along with it. Now, in these lovely modern times, there are rules about bringing in new kin, and they're educated to the very brim about the intricacies of vampire society* . There's freedom and social mobility for every undead bloodsucker; you want to be a nightclub owner? Do it! No one's stopping you, just don't let your dirty little secret get found out. Perhaps best of all, there's an entire group that devotes their time to keeping up The Masquerade and protecting vampire rights. The Bereau of Vampiric Investigations, or B.V.I. They keep strained ties with the leaders of the human police (one of the few humans blessed with the knowledge of your kind's existence) to uphold the peace and facade. That's what you are, when you're not doing whatever project on the side, and it's a pretty good life. Okay sure you're stuck in Europe, but Europe isn't that bad of a place is it? Nah, it suits you just fine.
Now...if only you could find a way to stop those Eldritch Abominations from dropping in and corrupting every thing you cherish. That would be nice. Yeah.

While there are other vampire types (and if you want more I will gladly add more; this is hardly the tip of the iceberg) these are the most common in the B.V.I European District.
Important Terms and Phrases
Hey, I Want to be a Vampire!
And there you have it. This probably looks terrible, right here, but fortunately this won't get going for a while. Sometime in the summer, probably, when I have more time. For now, I'd love to see sign ups, some banter on what you'd like to see and what it should be like, and some Q&A to clear things up.
...Wow I wrote a lot.
