Caught in a storm
Our world is full of monsters. The kind that prowl the night. The kind that drink blood. The kind that leave entire villages corrupted into demons.All sorts of monsters exist. They've plagued our world since the middle ages. Societies form based on their ability to survive the horrors of the world. They die on the slimmest of mistakes, one monster let into the society and the entire thing crumbles in a single night. It's happened many times, you've heard tales of entire cities being brought to their knees in one way or another.
Cruxis is one of the current cities that currently stands in this vicious world. We all know that one day even this city will be brought to it's knees in some way. The question is when.
Cities form now and grow bigger than ever thanks to the power of Vitalis. Vitalis is the process in which a human becomes part vampire through a ritual. The ritual was developed when a doctor obtained a strain of the vampire infection. Through the use of science it was eventually developed into a ritual that could turn a human into a part vampire.
Cruxis is the home to the world's strongest army of vampiric individuals thanks to Sacred Cross, the academy/order that trains it's students to fight monsters. However this still will inevitably be not enough and one day Cruxis will fall to the siege of monsters from outside the city.
Sacred Cross Academy
First thing to understand is that you are not special. Students from Sacred Cross Academy are sworn to project the citizens of Cruxis and many still die in battle against a monster.
The worst thing that can happen to a student is not death to a monster, however. The Corruption is a far worse fate. If overuse of one's vampiric abilities occurs too often then the subject is turned into a full vampire and goes mad. The more over usage occurs the more the one starts to exhibit traits of vampirism. First blood red eyes start to occur and then it progresses into lighter skin and fangs and as more corruption happens the subject starts to act more feral in nature, desiring blood and becoming increasingly violent.
Despite everything some students tend to think of themselves as special individuals who are more powerful than the rest.
Rules:
Sacred Cross is a gothic victorian RP. It will focus on students of Sacred Cross and the dynamics differing social classes and backgrounds as well the difference between humanity and monstrosity.
If you're into ballrooms and gowns and slaying monsters while working part-time jobs and exploring a gruesome city then this RP is for you.
You can and highly possibly will experience the struggles of Corruption from overuse of one's vampiric abilities. Students who undergo this route will have to do everything in their power to convince everyone else that they aren't undergoing corruption and will progressively have to get away with murder or consumption of blood if corrupted enough. If discovered you will be slain.
You may work a part-time job within the city at various locations. Students will be tasked with dealing with crimes and venturing to various locations outside of Cruxis. They will learn various subjects such as alchemy, weapon training, literature, monster study, and so on as the monsters in the RP have various weaknesses and strengths.
Students will live at Sacred Cross and receive a banking account that they can use to pay for things such as food, clothes, and anything else they may need. This account will be filled by taking a part time job and by fulfilling actions within the school or going on missions. This account will be an actively changed number within the RP as a mechanic within the RP. The School itself will have rankings of each student from Grade S all the way to Grade D based on their overall performance and capabilities not limited to combat.
Romance, Relationships and Any history or drama you want to introduce within the RP will be encouraged. Any questions or discussion can be posted within the
