bara_to_chi - Profile (original) (raw)
This RPG is has its roots in the Malice Mizer movie Bara no Konrei; A story which is sort of a cross between the classic Dracula and Anne Rice's vampires.
The setting is London somewhere in the Victorian era. The church is the main power in London, aside from the established governing power. The Church is having a problem and does not agree with the overflow of witches and other ungodly beings walking the streets.
There are a few priests that fight against the norm and willingly hide these poor souls from those that would rather see them hanged at the end of a long rope or burned at the stake.

DIVISIONS
There are three basic sections of power in the city of London at this time. Each having their own subdivisions but still having an overall leader. The divisions are as follows.
The Church - 'The Church' isn't one group, but two -- the Church of England and the Catholic Church. Both organizations are influential, but the most notable of the two is the Church of England, whose inner workings are so intimate with Parliament that the policies of the Queen may as well be that of the Church and vice versa. The Catholic Church is still trying to regain the foothold it once had before England committed the heresy of breaking away from the Vatican and disagreeing with God's Word.
The Kindred (Vampires) - The kindred have long been separated into four smaller groups, each being headed by their own lord (* denotes a lord) Each group of vampires resides in a separate district of London (North, South, East, West) and have their own special traits.
North - Your classic vampire, seductive, alluring, yet a flair for the artistic and fancy.
South - Proud and ambitious but not lacking a short temper.
East - Subtle, ruthless, and inhuman. Morals and ethics more 'opinion'. Polite and Traditional.
West - Sadistic, wicked and tough. Strong and outgoing, and willing to do anything to get to the top.
Each of the leaders for these divisions have been fighting amongst themselves for centuries, trying to decide who among them is strongest and most able to lead their race, there is certainly a bit of bad blood between them (no pun intended) and tensions are running high.
The Witches -
There are also the common folk, that tend to stay clear of these divisions, and they are the main group on which the high powers prey.

- Be respectful of others. Rudeness will not tolerated. Any problems should be settled between the muns in question, or just ask one of the moderators to help solve the problem.
- Post in your muse journal(s) at least once every month. Inactivity will result in your character being removed from the community. You will be warned first, though.

- Since this is an Alternate Universe, you don't have to act "just like them," just how the character that you're basing off the real person would act.
