[/div] [div class=mainText] [div class="imageBorder"]

[/div] When murders caused by "vampires" begin to haunt the streets, even news networks are too terrified to report about it. The victims were all found with puncture wounds to the neck, drained of their blood, and posed next to a symbol so bizarre that even those familiar with the occult forces are left clueless. As the murders continue, the supernatural occurrences frighten and begin to incite citywide panic, though a vast majority of the human population are more than willing to believe that these murders are nothing more than the work of a deranged serial murderer. The problem is...not all of the victims have been human.

What the public doesn't realize is that there is something far more sinister brewing in the darkest corners of the city. An evil that has spent centuries asleep has begun to stir once more.

Tasked with solving and putting an end to these mysterious murders, the KMPD has instituted Public Safety Division 9 ---a group of highly trained detectives code named "Handlers". These Handlers are humans typically dressed in high tech combat armor. They are paired with other agents who have a certain affinity for the supernatural who require constant supervision in case they were to lose control. Division 9 has one priority: hunt down the monster or monsters that have plagued Kasnia. This particular division specializes in supernatural crime investigation, but what they uncover might not be what they expected to find.




[/div][/div] [div class="scrollBox two"] [div class=mainHeader] City of Kasnia [/div] [div class=mainText] [div class="imageBorder"][/div]

For years, the existence of the preternatural has been kept silent.

The first officially recorded Moroi appearance was in 2026, when a "vampiric incident" murder suspect was arrested in Arômencia. The following year, someone else was arrested for a similar crime in Bara. Both of them claimed to have an uncontrollable blood lust, and it was discovered that the smell of blood made them violent. It was initially thought to be infectious, some sort of disease, but was later discovered to be a genetic mutation. Eventually, research into Moroi secretly moved forward. When the Moroi who rarely appeared got arrested, researchers took them in and used them to study the physical characteristics and blood relations of devils in order to find out their true nature.

In 2060, there was a request from the government, they wanted the researchers to find out how there could be Moroi who don't have blood lust, can't transform, and lack the ability to heal. They made a hypothesis that for people who are half or a quarter Moroi, the transformation becomes insufficient, in other words, they had ReMI (Redeyes Metamorphic Insufficiency Syndrome). Since they had no proof, the decision was made to further research and in 2063, they artificially began developing ReMI, and thus, the Hybrid Project was founded. Because of how shunned and hated the Moroi were in society, most Moroi in the early ages would often hide away to minimize assault and attacks from humans. It was also very hard for humans and Moroi to reproduce, since the Moroi always lose control during sex.

Nearly a decade later, the spike in murders forced the government to institute a specific law enforcement division to intervene in all Moroi related crimes. This division is kept hidden from the public in order to better protect the safety of Moroi. Because their cases relate directly to the supernatural, it is common for squads to contain one or two Moroi members in order to assist in the apprehension of Moroi suspects.

[div class=mainSubheader] Sector 1: Xosa [/div] [div class="imageBorder"]

[/div]

Xosa is the political hub of the region. Due to the increase in murders, the sector has declared a “state of emergency” and places all real power into the hands of law enforcement. The current Police Commissioner, Huan Li, accepts bribes from an organization known as The Left Hand that is focused on "keeping the peace". Huan Li seeks to peacefully resolve the murders and the disputes between the politicians before the violence escalates.

Law enforcement in Xosa has been outsourced to mercenaries in order to reduce panic. Though this seems fairly counter productive. These corporate agents are highly professional, but are extremely corrupt and are only loyal to their paycheck. Any Law enforcement cooperation between the rest of the sectors has become next to impossible. Xosa itself is a political powder keg and if nothing is done soon, things might just get worse.

The education system in Xosa specializes in the humanities; employees are experts in philosophy, political science, and ethical decision-making, but lack most of the basic math and science skills.







[div class=mainSubheader] Sector 2: Vrekta [/div] [div class="imageBorder"]

[/div]

Vrekta is a Special Economic Zone. Corporations are given increased rights in this area to promote economic investment. The city is controlled by a democratically elected Mayor. The current Mayor, Stephanie Gloss, accepts bribes from an organization known as The Left Hand and is focused on stimulating the economy. Corporations are given generous subsidies and assistance to create jobs. Recently there has been a upsurge in the market for people profiting off of the population's hysteria.

Law enforcement in Vrekta is currently being provided by the KMPD or the Kasnia Metropolitan Police Department.

Spoiler: KMPD Uniforms

Their superior firepower and tactics have decreased the overall murder rate in this sector, but their military-like operations display a complete lack of empathy towards civilians.

The education system in Vrekta teaches employees to always follow orders given to them by their managers and "betters", even if said orders are ridiculously stupid. If you know the game Borderlands, Vrekta operates similarly to how Hyperion does.







[div class=mainSubheader] Sector 3: Arômencia [/div] [div class="imageBorder"]

[/div]Arômencia is an arcology that was built recently to deal with overcrowding within the “old cities”. The arcology presents a patently false illusion of idyllic country life to appease their jaded residents.

The city sector is controlled by a City Manager, who is hired by “The Council” who Governs the entirety of Kasnia. The current City Manager, Wolfgang III, accepts bribes from The Left Hand and is focused on providing social welfare. The poor and needy are taken care of and are "rehabilitated" into productive employees and pliable consumers.

The KMPD makes up the core law enforcement of Arômencia.

There are rumors that Arômencia is in deep debt and tensions have been running thin between City Sectors 2 and 3.











[div class=mainSubheader] Sector 4: ABANDONED [/div]







[div class="imageBorder"]

[/div][div class=mainSubheader] Sector 5: Bara [/div]

Bara is a Japanese “old city” that has gained increased prominence due to neoliberal reforms and a favorable corporate environment. The city is controlled by a Chairman who is selected by "The Council". The current Chairman, Flynn Whitman, does not accept bribes from anyone, including The Left Hand. He is focused on reducing crime throughout the entire city and has been instrumental in the creation of Division 9. Law enforcement is given increased funding and special rights to crack down on law-breakers.

Law enforcement in Bara is handled by the KMPD and has their headquarters in this district. Their agents focuses on community outreach efforts, making them very popular with civilians. The police are waging a merciless war on crime and will stop at nothing to put an end to the string of brutal murders.

The education system in Bara is one of the best in the city. They maintain that the more knowledgeable their citizens are, the less crime there will be.

The crime rate in Bara is very low, but most corporations resent the frequent police intrusions and the lack of privacy in the city.

There's not much to say about humanity. They've gone about most of their life in ignorance to the darkness in the world around them.

B A S I C:

• Any skills and abilities are those they’ve managed to learn without aid of supernatural powers or strengths.
• Can alter their bodies with cybernetic enhancements.

P S Y C H O L O G I C A L:

• No remarkable change to their psychology, other than those expected when faced with "vampires".

M I S C:

• Pretty standard, I would hope everyone reading this knows what a human is.

[div class="imageBorder"]

[/div] M O R O I

Moroi are a subset of the human race who possess vampire characteristics, but who are more closely related to humans. They live ordinary lives nearly identical to those of humans, save for one distinction: if ever they witness blood, either by sight or taste, they transform and lose control, attacking those around them and sucking their blood.

B A S I C : Moroi possess the following:

• Stronger and faster, they are brutes to some extent, especially when transformed.
• Heightened senses of sight, hearing, and smell.
• They have two sets of fangs, the top ones grow shorter than the bottom and function more like straws while the bottom pair administers a toxin that gives their prey feelings of pleasure.
  Spoiler: Fangs

  
• They heal at a much faster rate, possess increased stamina, and are capable of taking substantially more damage than a normal human might survive.
• It is assumed that they can only be killed by a shot to the head.

P S Y C H O L O G I C A L:

• No remarkable change to their psychology, other than those expected when faced with a life of avoiding the sight/smell of blood.

M I S C

• Normally, the Moroi's appearances do not differ from humans. They are biologically very similar to humans. They are nocturnal, however they can go out in sunlight though it tends to bother their eyes and daylight makes them fundamentally weaker than they would be during the night.
• Non-blood-drinking Moroi have heavy dark bags under their eyes, which is a way to identify them. Moroi who drink human blood do not have eye bags and some Moroi also choose to use makeup to hide them.
• When Moroi transform, their face and body features change drastically. Their eyes will turn red with veins sometimes appearing around the eyes. Their teeth will sharpen into fangs and their nails into claws.
• Moroi have a body temperature that is lower by 15 degrees than usual.
• It is also very hard to kick off the habit of drinking blood, since once a Moroi gets the taste of human blood, they can never forget it.
• They do need blood to survive, although this is not common knowledge as they can eat and drink regular human food. If they go without drinking blood their life expectancy is around 35 years of age.

[div class="imageBorder"]

[/div]H A L F B R E E D S

Moroi-human hyrids are a rarity among the moroi community due to the risks involved when engaging in sexual activities with humans. However, hybrids have become an increasingly hot area of study among medical researchers - primarily the idea that the hybrids' half-human physiology allows them the ability to assert more control over their bloodlust than pure bloods.

B A S I C:

• Can withstand sunlight and isn't as negatively impacted by it.
• Their blood lust is often more controllable than a purebloods
• Usually only part of them transforms or they go through a half transformation. Thus making them 'weaker' because of their human blood.
• They have the 'traditional' one set of fangs. It makes their bites more painful and also requires a longer time for feeding (it's also messier).
  Spoiler: fangs

  

P S Y C H O L O G I C A L:

• Being human, yet not could have a lot of negative psychological effects. Think of Blade, that guys got some issues man

M I S C:

• Generally, moroi-human hybrids are born by artificial insemination in the modern age due to complications and risks in sexual activities between human and moroi.
• The Hybrid Birth Project is a project solely to produce hybrids. Their goals are not 100% certain but most half-breeds have grown up in laboratories.
• There are no known naturally-conceived hybrids.
• The one at greatest risk is the human mother. The moroi fetus is likely to die after contact with the mother's blood. And conversely, the fetus can transform in the womb and put the mother in danger.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a rare case. If you wish to play a half breed then you must ask me about it first.




[/div][/div] [div class="scrollBox five"] [div class=mainHeader] Expectations [/div] [div class=mainSubheader] The RP [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] In its simplest form, this is an action packed cyberpunk horror RP garnished with a drizzle of fantasy and a steamy side of romance. I'm not sure how else to explain it. There are a lot of influences for this RP but it's worth noting that these vampires are NOT Edward-Cullen-Sparkle-Fest. There will be gore. There will be a lot of adult themes so I'm going to ask that everyone be at least 18+ just so it isn't weird. [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] On the GM side, I like to think I'm pretty flexible and have had experience running groups before. That being said I'm probably going to open this to a small group if there's enough interest. If not I can more than likely alter this to fit a 1x1 if someone is interested in doing that. If this gathers more interest than the space allowed then that's absolutely crazy and I'm now unsure what to do with myself I'll make the Division and the plot on a larger scale so that we have something here for everyone. [/div] [div class=mainSubheader] Players and Characters [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] I ask that players be respectful, and communicate often. Simple stuff, but easy to forget about. If you want to participate, then I want you to be prepared to make a small commitment to upholding these two things. This RP has some really dark themes as well so if you are interested in this please understand that there will be violence, gore, or any other things that may be triggering. Please abide by RPN rules that should go without saying, just please fade to black if there is a need to. I would also like to encourage using the lore to your advantage. Some things have been left ambiguous because I'd like to give you guys some creative freedoms, but please make it realistic in a way that fits the world and the written lore. If you have a question about something that I haven't covered please don't be afraid to ask. If this gets enough interest and if enough people want to, I'll make a discord. [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] As for characters, I’m allowing an unlimited amount on one condition: You may only select one main character. Any others become supporting cast or NPCs. Why? Because I want you to focus on character arcs, and a smaller main cast is easier for me to cater the rp around. Everyone in the group will belong to Division 9, however, if you want your character to be a regular human not apart of the force then that has to be discussed with me first. Just because of plot and all that jazz. [/div] [div class=mainSubheader] Quality [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] I don’t expect to see you rewrite Shakespeare, but I don’t want to see haphazard writing either. We're all human here at least uh...I hope so grammar and spelling mistakes are fine as long as you know the difference between 'there', 'they're', and 'their' we're all good. I hate putting a limit on how much people write, but this isn't the sort of thing to have casual one-liners. As for what I would like to see, I really favor a combination of both style and concision. It takes a lot to consistently put that much effort into a post, and its sets a precedent that posts "should" be that long. So just stick to a length that is easy to maintain. That isn't a single sentence. [/div] [div class=mainSubheader] Commitment [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] I’ll emphasize again that, yes, I know life happens. It’ll inevitably happen for me too. That’s why I’ll keep stressing how important it is to communicate. If that’s something you’re not prepared to do, then this is probably not the place for you. As for the actual commitment, I expect you to follow along with the story and post once or more per week (or let me know if you can't it's not really a big deal). I just don't like when people ghost, it's not a good feeling. [/div] [div class="mainText indent"] Also if you cannot continue in the RP for whatever reason, please let me know. [/div] [div class=mainHeader] Interested? [/div] [div class=mainText] Comment down below or shoot me a PM promise I won't bite

[Collidias Rex]

Cyberpunk and vampires. Okay, okay this is my jam. I'll think of some questions and make a more substantial reply in a few hours, but I'm very interested.

 

[Phayne]

Very very very interested . Idea's already swarming around in my head for a Moroi character ;x

 

[ClownPope]

I'm interested

 

[Collidias Rex]

- How many players are you aiming for? How many will you comfortably handle?

- How stringent would posting order be? Will each person act in turn, or can a pair of players engage in an extended back-and-forth conversation without feedback from other players?

- Are you intending that players cooperate to form handler / supernatural pairs with our main characters? Or would we be better suited to creating our own partner as a side-character?

I've got some ideas in mind. Some are whole new ideas, others are setting-appropriate conversions of some characters I've played in other cyberpunk games. Actually, one of my PCs from a cyberpunk TTRPG might adapt perfectly into this setting.

Okay so first, I don't really care about posting order. For the first post I would like everyone to give out a starter, but after that go ham.

I'm thinking of a small group, no more than six players including myself. So it's really a first come first serve and woo me with your character sheets lol. As for how many I can comfortably handle....I currently have another group that has had 16 different characters at one point and I'm pretty sure I handled that fine. It's still going and it's been 7 months? This rp in particular might be a little hard to have so many people though.

I'm intending to place people in pairs. One Moroi for every Handler. I'd prefer not to make you play your own Handler just because eventually that might become a bit tedious, but if we don't have enough people for pairs I might consider it.

Alriiiight, sounds good. Very definite interest. I'll mull over some character ideas for either position. When character sheets are prepared and submission is ready, would you be willing to let me submit two character sheets, one for each role? Not to play both as a main, but to give myself options? The foremost character I have in mind would be a Moroi, but in these kinds of RPs the 'monster' side of the pair tends to get a lot of attention, whereas the human side tends to be neglected. I'd like to prep a 'main' CS for the handler and moroi role for flexibility, if you'd be open to that.

Sure! I wouldn't mind that. You can keep whichever character you can't play as an NPC if you'd like. So they're still there in the background maybe as part of another division or something but we can talk about that later

Which police dep you planning to dump us in Supreme One ?

We're going to start in Sector 5. Division 9 is located in that sector because that's where it was first formed. Though they aren't really at a police department. They conduct themselves a little differently and have a house that they all stay in. (It's part of the whole make sure the Moroi are supervised thing). I'm working on putting some more basic info together for us and I'll throw that in to the thread when I make it.

 

[LyannaM]

I’m so in. If this is still open

 

[Hell0NHighWater]

Still open so far, I'm in the process of making a thread so character sheets can be posted.

- Do Moroi have blood? Is one's own blood, or the blood of another Moroi sufficient to trigger a bloodlust transformation? Or is it only that of humans? What about half-breeds?

- Does a transformation have a broader physical component other than eyes, teeth and claws?

- Does a 'loss of control' entail entering an animalistic frenzy? Does the danger posed by transformation come from a Moroi savaging and mauling anything nearby, or is it more related to an excess draining of blood? Is attacking and aggression a distinct component of this bloodlust, or just a side-effect of needing to restrain 'prey'?

- How do handlers keep control of a Moroi? Nonlethal weapons? Shock collars / incapacitating equipment? Just shoot them enough times to keep them from doing any damage, letting them calm down as they regenerate? (Getting some serious Psycho Pass vibes here btw)

- Do handlers employ lasers or energy-based weapons to minimize blood splatter, when they need to defend themselves?

Moroi do have blood, like humans, though theirs is a bit different genetically. It's almost like they have anemia but lack the same amount of nutrients that humans contain within their blood cells. In order to supply their body with said nutrients they need to consume the blood of humans. This is not a widely known fact, most Moroi go their whole lives without drinking human blood hence why they only live for around 35 years. Half-breeds have the same problem but it takes a longer time for their deficiency to kill them.

The blood of Moroi doesn't trigger another Moroi, it's more repulsive to them. Think of how in most vampire lore vampires can get extremely sick from drinking Dead Man's blood --it's pretty much the same thing.

Spoiler: Transformation final stage

(Obviously my Moroi don't have the yellow things going on, but this is the anime I took the inspiration from)
The transformation is really just the teeth, claws, and eyes.

Spoiler: Sometimes it's just the eyes

It really just depends on how in control they are of themselves.

Loss of complete control would be like an animalistic frenzy, yes. It comes from a Moroi going ham on anyone or anything near by. Sometimes they don't drain the body, but in the process they could rip the person's throat out and kill them anyway. The attacking and aggression is a huge component but only because most Moroi haven't tasted human blood. It's like....living your whole life without water and then all of a sudden you're introduced to it and can't get enough. It doesn't matter where you get it, but now you need it to survive and anything that stands in the way will die.

Moroi (particularly those in Division 9) take a 'suppressant' if they scent blood and begin to transform or see it, etc. It's sort of like a tranquilizer, big needle and everything, it renders them unable to move and forces their nervous system to calm down. The Handlers are usually keepers of these suppressants and if the Moroi were to lose control it is the Handler's duty to stop them. By any means necessary.

Moroi Do not regenerate without drinking human blood. Which is another lesser known fact that NONE of the Moroi characters in this RP will known about. It's a big secret hush hush.

Handlers have a unique set of armor that will allow them to withstand most Moroi attacks. There is also a steroid that they could take which will allow them to push beyond their physical capacity. However, this is not recommended as it will cause severe muscle damage and is stupidly easy to overdose on. There are laser/energy based weapons but Handlers are instructed to not use force unless absolutely necessary.

tell me more about the occult aspect of the rp/characters please?

 

[Hell0NHighWater]

The occult in this world is really just like how it is in our own. It's the belief in the supernatural, mystical, or magical, either in practice or the phenomena. For instance, we all know about vampires and werewolves and what not. Humans in this world share those same folktales and lore, but in every story there is a thread of truth. Like the whole Vampires can't go in sunlight thing? A pure myth, but because of the fact that Moroi are mainly nocturnal and hate sunlight that myth has been fed into.

Edit: Sorry I'm taking so long on getting a thread up, had a death in the family today so just bare with me here. I'm hoping to get it up asap.

And what of supernatural abilities and powers?

 

[Hell0NHighWater]

Humans don't have them. All the powers that Moroi and half breeds have are described in the interest check. There's nothing crazy supernatural with this, they're vampires so at most I'd say that Moroi can be incredibly charming. Which feeds into the whole "seduction" element of vampire mythos.

 

[HighSanguinaryPriest]

Mkay. Well it still gives me ideas for a character that isn't either moroi or a half breed. Through the Power of Science! and Retroviruses

Seems very interesting! I love stories driven by the character progression, so I'll post up a character sheet one way or another whenever the thread is ready.

See you space cowboy

Sounds good, I'll hopefully have it up in a few hours.

Interested! I'm at work but I want to message you later about character ideas
