Introduction
Welcome to the Blood Night Vampire Roleplay, where you can assume a human, vampire, lycan or half-breed character and adventure in the dangerous and thrilling world of the undead.
Before joining, read this entire post carefully and create your character according to the guidelines set out for you in the Character Profile thread.
Rules
I. Strong language and mature themes are permitted in this roleplay, within a PG-13 limit. Don't get overly grotesque with the blood and don't get explicit with sex, same as the general forum rules.
II. You must follow all the character rules outlined in the Character Profiles thread.
III. Obviously, no double-posting, flaming, or spam. Spam is any post that does not contribute to the actual roleplay.
IV. No one-sentence posts! All posts must be at least a full paragraph long and consist of at least 5-10 sentences MINIMUM. Longer posts are always preferred, however.
V. There is no two-post rule here yet as we do not have very many members but if the roleplay begins to get out of hand, that will change.
VI. No chat-speak or emoticons in your posts! Emoticons are only permitted within OOC brackets but chat-speak is strictly prohibited, period!
VII. There is a very likely chance that your character will be attacked and injured by another character so please do not take it personally. It's just a roleplay. Killing other characters is not allowed unless agreed upon in the Plot Discussion thread.

Vampire Facts/Myths
- Vampires will NOT perish in the sun, however they dislike it immensely and it is painful for them so they much prefer the dark.
- Vampires DO need blood to survive.
- Vampires CANNOT reproduce due to the fact that they are dead.
- Vampires do NOT have to sleep in a coffin, but some may still choose to do so. It's more a matter of personal preference.
- Garlic will NOT kill a vampire, but it will stall them as they do not like it.
- Driving a wooden stake through a vampire's heart WILL kill them.
- Shooting a vampire with a silver bullet will have absolutely NO effect on them, however this WILL kill a lycan.
- Vampires are able to recognize other vampires by their scent and they know the difference between a half-breed and a true vampire. They dislike half-breeds, hate lycans and are indifferent towards humans but there are exceptions to this, depending on the individual vampire.
What Will Kill A Vampire
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight (an entire day out in the sun).
- Beheading.
- Fire.
- Driving a wooden stake through his/her heart.
- Throwing blessed water (doesn't matter what religion) into their coffin or other sleeping quarter.
- Exorcism (again, doesn't matter what religion).
- Wearing any kind of religious symbol on a chain around your neck will make a vampire unable to touch you, however it won't harm them.
Remember that vampires have superhuman strength and reflexes so just getting a vampire into a position to be killed in any of these ways is a near impossibility.
Half-Breeds
- Half-breeds DO need blood to survive.
- Half-breeds are NOT immortal and can die from the same means as a human can.
- Half-breeds may display mixed vampiric/human tendancies, depending on the individual person themselves. They may not mind the sun, or they may despise it. They may prefer to sleep in a coffin or a bed. They may enjoy killing or they may hate themselves for it, etc...
- Half-breeds CANNOT morph into any animal, however they are able to sense the difference between true vampires and half-breeds just as vampires can.
- Generally, half-breeds are disliked immensely by true vampires but there are exceptions to this. Half-breeds themselves have individually varying attitudes towards vampires, lycans and humans.
- Half-breeds are able to reproduce but their tainted vampire blood will be passed to the child.
Lycans
- Lycans are very much like werewolves from Harry Potter and most other stories. They are humans with human qualities except on the night of the full moon, when they will transform.
- Lycans lose all rational thinking when they transform and become a savage beast. They would kill their best friend and not know the difference in this state.
- Lycans generally look like very large, demonic wolves when they transform.
- Lycans will transform on the night of the full-moon, regardless of whether the light of the moon actually touches them or not.
- Lycans can reproduce, but it is very rare and the offspring usually die in the womb. They are able to reproduce with humans and half-breeds, but usually choose not to because generally, lycans despise humans for their weakness and half-breeds for being part vampire.
- Lycans despise vampires with a passion, and there are very few exceptions to this.
- The only way to kill a lycan is by shooting it with a silver bullet while it is transformed. The rest of the time, they are invincable like vampires. The only time when they are as vulnerable as humans is when they fall ill the day before and the day after their transformations.

The Story So Far...
Lycans and vampires have been at war for ten centuries. The feud has gone on so long that neither side knows how the war started or why they are still fighting. This age-old war has instilled a deep hatred between the vampires and the lycans.
One major clan called the Cruor Nox Noctis clan, commonly referred to as either the CNN or the Cruor clan houses 90% of the world's vampires, with clan houses all over the world. These houses are vast mansions large enough to comfortably accomodate up to 500 vampires. The one the vampires in this rp will dwell in is located in Venice, Italy.
The leader of the Cruor Nox Noctis clan is Lady Maria Sante Sophia, a cold harsh vampire with elegance and class. She owns the Cruor headquarters mansion in Venice, Italy. Preceeding her was Monsieur Armand De Lustus who was demoted for taking in a half-breed.
Meanwhile, the lycans are a very disorganized group who dwell sporadically all over the world and whose war tactics involve mindless killing without planning or any kind of thought-process. They usually dwell within small "clans" of ten to fifteen and are constantly killing both each other and anything else who inconveniances them which has caused their numbers to dwindle.
The humans are very aware of the existance of vampires but are too terrified to do anything about it. They are unaware of the existance of lycans and few know that half-breeds exist. They are the hunted and they know it. All they can do is hope that they do not cross paths with a vampire late at night.
