One day, many years ago a ship docked in northern England to restock on a trip to the New World. It was a pitate ship. While they were there two stowaways got on board. They were found after they had set sail and the captain didn't wan to turn back. He made them deck hands and thought that was that.

But it wasn't. The two stowaways were vampires and on one fatefull night turned the Captain and his first mate into vampires themselves. Slowly they made the rest of the crew into vampires except for the few they killed. Not many of the crew turn vampires are overly strong, and the first mate is in fact stronger than the captain, but that was because he faught more than the captain.

Now the ship sails the see storing up the gold they get in banks along the coasts. The stop in many post, but Tortuga is where they are known. They arn't known at vampires, just as 'tho stange folk. Arn't pirates or regulars...strange crew they are...ay strange."


((These vampires are like the vampires in Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' books. Tiger you know what I'm talking about, and I think you do to El...But for the rest of you...I'll outline it in the rules.))

History:: Catherine lived with her parents in England until her father was sent to govern Port Gregory when she was 13. She was trained to be a lady and was expected to marry some man of position. As she grew older she refused many of the suitors that her parents found acceptable, causing her parents to get very upset. They finally ended up arranging a marriage for her to a man twice her age that she could not stand. Late one stormy night, she snuck out and made her way down to the docks. She found the only ship set to leave, The Black Moon. Before she boarded, she was told that if she came on board that she would be used to feed the vampires, and that she probably wouldn't be killed.

~*~*~*~
Gaian name: Ereden
Character Name: Alexander Weatere
Age: 32, looks 40
Gender: Male
Description:
Alexander has long, loose hanging, straight brown hair with sliver streaks. In the summer, you will find his hair tied up with a black leather cord, in the winter you will find his hair hanging loose, except when it is windy. His hairline is receding slowly in the front only. He shaves daily but a genetic disposition to rapid hair growth leaves him with a five o’clock shadow by 10 in the morning. In the winter he keeps a neatly trimmed beard. He is 6’2” tall and muscular. He has blue eyes. His complexion is tanned and a bit weathered. You will find him at all times with two pistol, five reloads for each. The pistols are ornate with silver and have hawks embossed on the handles. Alexander also carries a longsword at all times, strapped to his side (right). The sword is two-edged, the handle is braided with alternating black leather and silver metal, the pommel is a silver coated steel ball, the hilt is a silver coated steel hawk with its wings spread, the blade has inscribed on it, “Bellator (Courage), Honorificus (Giving Honor), and Amator (Lover)”. He also wears a silver chain around his neck with his family’s symbol on it. He can be found in whatever clothing is appropriate for the atmosphere he is in.
Personality:
Alexander is moody. He can be very energetic, robust, humorous, and social, but this is not his normal condition. He is focused, devoted to his pursuit of vampires. Once his trust is earned, people find Alexander a welcome and trustworthy companion with an open and honest candor. Alexander has a lot of empathy because he has been through a lot and his faith has taught him to see beyond the circumstances. He is a good listener. However, he puts his pursuit ahead of all. It leaves him troubled that he is compelled and so he can come across as depressed or brooding when his compulsion leaves him feeling enslaved. However, he is especially vulnerable to females, as he desires above all to settle, marry, and have children.
History:
Born into nobility in Oxford, England, Alexander grew up unique among his fellow nobility. His parents were deeply religious and were known for there philanthropy through out southern England. This caused envy and jealousy as their richer counterparts longed for the freedom they had. The result: Alexander did not have many real friends growing up. His parents and his sister, Leanne were his only companions.
Alexander attended the finest schools, was very athletic, participating in Rugby and was given a commission in the British forces as a Lieutenant. He served in Africa for two years, which hardened him with the cruelties of war, but his faith kept his heart from being touched by the hardness of life.
Alexander returned from Africa with hopes of finding a wife and raising children. It was not to be. Tragedy struck as his parents and sister were murdered the very night he returned home. Blood was everywhere but their bodies were never found. The authorities could not find the killers, so Alexander devoted himself to finding them himself. As he interviewed people in Oxford and the surrounding area, he learned of two strangers people had seen around. He also learned there had been other bloody disappearances besides his parents.
Alexander encountered a man during his investigations named Abraham Van Helsing. Van Helsing enlightened Alexander to the nature of the vampires they were dealing with. He taught Alexander how to track them and how to kill them. They were closing in on the two strangers when Van Helsing was called away on urgent business by a friend he could not ignore.
Alexander missed the Black Moon by an hour. The ship was headed to the Caribbean, so Alexander did the same. Eventually, Alexander ended up in Port Gregory. He convinced the Mayor to let him help recover the Mayor’s daughter.
Pets:
Alexander has a trained hawk named Ereden who hunts for him and will fight with him should the need come about. Alexander has won many a friend on ships by using Ereden to provide food for the crew.
Rank:
Alexander was knighted for bravery in the campaigns in Africa, though few know this. He does not claim any rank except in the most dire circumstances, and most who know are back in England.

Plot


The last time the Black Moon docked was in Port Gregory. There they stocked up with food and water(for the humans and bloodbonded), weapon suplies, rum (for both the humans and vamps) and food for the vampires (some willing some not).

The Vampire's food was colected and brought on board last. They brought on females, for they do not belive that they are bad luck. One female in perticular, was in a great hurry to leave. She was in muddy and gray clothes, that you could tell were once good quality. The 'pirates' let her be and took off, for they had heard that a merchantship was headed accross the sea, and they thought they might like a bit pf 'protecting'.

This girl was acctualy the daughter of the the mayor or Port Gregory, running away from her fancy life. Her father didn't care that she ran away and soon found out that she had been taken abord the Black Moon. He set off a ship, the Messanger, armed to fight the pirates back for his daughter. On board the ship was the only person that really knew what was going on. It is Alexander Weatere, a vampire hunter on the trail of the pirate vampires for many a year now. The crew of the Messanger think he's just another helper the Mayor sent and dosn't think much about him. But he has his own plans, but what they are we don't know.

It is a race against time. Will the pirates get to the Merchant ship and the loot before the Messanger and it's crew can catch up to them and before the Triste Vampire hunter can catch up to the Vampires he has been chasing for years??

~About Vampires~


~The first thing to remember about vampires is that they were born human, and their minds are human. The patterns of their thoughts are still primarily human, though altered somewhat by the predatory impulses that come with the blood. The blood defines them as solitary hunters, but the mind defies them as creatures of society.

~A lunar vampire is, quite simply, a dead body, animated by immortal power, and sustained through stolen mortal power. The heart does not beat. The cells do not divide. Hair and fingernails do not grow. On the other side of the equation, the cells do not die. Hairs and fingernails do not break, unless the vampire wills it.

~There are traits and abilities that all vampires share. All vampires have the ability to move instantly from place to place, dissolving their mortal forms for a moment in order to travel. All vampires have the ability to sculpt their bodies, though most only do so unconsciously. Only a very few very powerful vampires can change their forms completely. All lunar vampires naturally have black eyes, though again, some of the more powerful can mask that telltale sign with illusion. Due to the nature of their power, a lunar vampire’s body is not cold; the average body temperature for their kind about one hundred degrees, slightly above a normal human temperature.

~Generally, humans who are nearly but not quite fully physically mature make the strongest and healthiest vampires. (So many of the old pirates eather died or a bloodbound to the vamps)

~Once changed, the amount of power a vampire has is controlled by two primary factors. One is the ability to hold power, which can be considered like conductivity- the amount of “juice” that can be in the body at a time. The other is the willingness to acquire power. Mortals who have with both traits very strongly are rare. No matter how potentially strong, a vampire’s actual power will never grow unless it feeds well.


All explination is from here if you have time, please read this.

Jonthin leaned aggainst the railing of the upper deck and sighed. I don't like this. He thought to himself. She look and acts like she was bread proper. What if someone starts to lookf or her? he thought and shook his head. He couldn't have someone trailing thier ship.

Lillian's form appeared leaning on the railing next to Jonthen. She looked at him as he seemed to be in thought, maybe a bit worried. She put on a fake sympathetic face and let out an "Aw!" Then traced one long finger in a curving motion slowly down Jonethens neck. "What's the matter Johny boy?" She said in a spine chilling whisper.
PostPosted: Sun Dec 31, 2006 12:19 am


Jonthen didn't jump. He knew she loved annoing him so expected somthign of the sort. "Nothing that concerns you wench." He said annoied at her and deciding to voice it.

Puck appered on the other side of Jonthen as he looked to Lillian. He tisked and shook his head. "Now now youngling. You musnt back talk to your elders." He said in a voice like oil on mirrors. Cold, smooth and reflective.

"Yes," She said with a smirk agreeing with Puck. She ran a finger over Jonthen's cheek. "You should be more greatful to us. With out us you would be nothing, but a poor pathetic mortal. Just another blood donar like the rest of them." She shook her head and stepped around Jonthen. "We are much to kind to these people Puck dear."
PostPosted: Sun Dec 31, 2006 12:40 am


Jonthin stiffened. They were ina playfull mood. This was bad, very bad. He could hold hsi own aggaist the girl or the guy if he was drunk...but both? oh this was bad...

Puck laughed and smirked at Jonthin. He stepped forward and warpped and arm around Lillian and pulled her close. Releasing her he looked at the boy and grinned. "You should respect your elders better." he said and flashed his canines."

Lillian grinned and wrapped a hand around the back of Puck's neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss. She held it for a little bit then pulled back and licked his lips. She looked at Jonthen,"Care to join Johnny boy?" she asked as if they were simply playing cards.

"That will be enough you two." Nathaniel said, coming up on the little group. "I will not have you taunting my first mate. Remember, this is MY ship, and you are guests on it."

Jonthin's eyes grew smaller and he moved his essence to next to his Captain. "I could have handled it." He siad in a hiss and shook his head.

Puck licked hsi lips after LIllian did and then looked where Jonthin had been. "Aw but we were jus thaving fun." He said smoothly. He nodded and continued looking out to sea. "Yes guests. If you want to get rid of us all you have to do is get us to America.

((Remember El, he dosn't want to go to America for anyreason. WHy is up to you.))
PostPosted: Sun Dec 31, 2006 1:33 pm


Lillian lay her head against Puck's chest and rested a hand on the other side of his neck. "Yes." She purred. "Just a trip to America and you will be rid of us. That's not so hard now is it?" She said innocently.
