This is the start up thread for the vampires in the White Wolf RP, Any Humans will also start here.

It was New Years Eve, 1998AD. The crowds were overly loud, drunken, and foolish. Things were going badly for the vampires as a whole, while stocks were up and city officials were as easily bribed and controlled as ever something had been revealing covens to various groups interested in destroying the vampires. A few vampires had gathered in a safehouse, a casino run by a powerful elder, artificial lighting and multiple doors kept any real light outside and massive ghouls(humans who have partaken of vampire blood and gained some powers without the resulting weaknesses) guarded the place.

In a back room a private card game was being played, vampires who would normally have worked to discredit each other, and worked at political machinations against the clans of the others were calmly playing cards, a casual observer would not have noticed anything odd, except perhaps a pale complexion shared by all at the table. The voices were casual but there was a depth behind the obvious, they were speaking in a code known to most vampires, a sort of slang that was meaningless if one lacked the proper frame of reference.

OOC ok here's the deal, the people that have already posted vampire characters are at the table with the elder, and one bodyguard(just outside the door) The elder appears to be a boy, barely 17, but he has an aura of power and wisdom, not to mention a callous exterior that indicates he would rather sacrifice a couple hundred pawns than be forced into acting directly against whatever has been assaulting the vampires. The city is Vegas. So far all that's been covered is that the vampire hunters aren't one of the known groups, the Inquisition (an off the books organization of the Catholic church that never stopped searching for supernaturals even after it officially ended), Project Twilight (a government organization similar to the X-Files), or the Lupines (werewolves), and the hunters strike in ways that don't make sense for vampires or their servants to attack.

Introduce your characters and let the bloodletting begin.

PPS No Sigs please
