  1. The head masters of the Blackthorne Families personal room, it has always kept its sane design of the many years. Those who enter must have permission of course.
  2. What was originally a place of prayer is now a great library and learning. While there is certainly a massive, silver cross built into the overlook wall above the organ, but that doesn't dissuade the Vampires and Thralls from using the chapel. It is now used as a library and a place to practice alchemy and magic
  3. A small complex within Castle Blackthorne, the Medical Ward consists of various labs, hospital abd surgery rooms, and even a waiting room. This is where Corpse-Sowers spend a lot of their time
  4. A large public mineral bath. Certain plants are grown here which benefit from the conditions, while akro releasing certain fumes into the air to allow relaxation and better circulation. Of course of one wants to be alone, the baths also have individual shower/bathing rooms that one could have privacy in.
  5. Again, another room to host events, the ballroom is used for dances and gallas.
  6. Uses primarily for events like feasts and seasonal gatherings, the Great Hall is primarily a dining room as well as a war or conference room. It is massive e to scale, with two large tables on either side, at the back is a small table used for the higher ranks of the Blackthorne Family.
  7. .The entry hall, much like a foyer, is used as a place of gathering for last minute announcements or gatherings
  8. The Bailey or Ward is the courtyard of Castle Blackthorne, carefully designed to show the life of luxury between residents and visitors. This yard is also used for training and host outdoor events
  9. The old ferry boat, stuck at one of the many Pine Lakes, rests near the Midnight Mansion within the Wolfpack territory. Restored as a place for meetings, discussions, or lounging, it is inoperable at the moment and might remain as such
  10. Personal Chambers of the Alpha and Luna, this room is large and always has a different design based on the leadership it seems. Reserved for those invited, high ranks, and of coursevthe heads of the house... That hasn't stopped common Wolves from entering at their own risk…
  11. The office space of the Beta, many can come here for advice or for even requests of supplies, should so they desire it. The Beta can spend their time here, they can make appointments for the Alpha from the outside world but here they can also contact connections in Spruce Moore
  12. Acting more as a War Room for the pack, the Delta Quarters are used by the Deltas, hence given the name. These are the "Barracks" for this particular rank, as if there is no room in the packs mansion there are bunks and living space for the ranks. Warriors are more than welcomed to it... If they can prove themselves just as good as a Delta.
  13. A small doctor's office, connected to a miniature expanse of rooms acting as a "hospital," the Gammas Ward or Medical Ward (for lack of better terms) is where wolves go for treatments and annual health inspections. There is a separate room for the newly born, tended by the Gamma and their following ranks.
  14. A wide open space designed as a place to test and build the physical prowess of the Midnight Pack. Off to one side is the weights sections with a variety of machines, while the other side is open for a wide variety of activities.
  15. A small and cozy room filled with books, comfortable sofas and pillows. It also has a great view of Pine Forest, and even contains a fireplace, candles, and a variety of other miscellaneous things. There's also a speaker system built into it.
  16. The stone kitchen is large in its own right, having two deep freezers and two regular coolers, it is normally stocked and packed full of meats, vegetables, and other goodies. Due the packs obvious appetite, it must be halfway stocked if not mostly or fully
  17. A dining room built more like a wide restaurant. It has fragrant trees planted around it and of course is decorated beautifully
  18. The rustic aesthetic of the Midnight Mansion can date back to the 17th century. The Foyer is the entrance of the mansion, and is used for a variety of things such as events abd announcements thanks to its massive size.
  19. Ranging from the very start of the gates to the front lawn of the mansion, the Yards practically encompass the entire outside of the mansion itself. Having a large indoor pool separate from the mansion and an outdoor court converted for whatever sports, the Yards are tending to with care.
  20. //Lol, experimenting with bouncing back and further between scenes here, hope it don't confuse you// "I can sense a couple Sensitives out here. Surprised there aren't more, but I can hold some comfort that there are a few at least." Takamo said to Toshiro as the two walked together. Exhaling that breath of annoyance, Toshiro responded quietly, "Yeah, I know, I also know that it's supposed to be an off day for you. Not a chance to scout out recruits." Everyone at this graduation seemed... Normal. Teru and Kyouka were off in their graduate attire, everyone else wore simple dresses or regular clothes and Toshiro? In an expensive ass business suit. Black and sleek, deep red and dark orange striped tie, polished black shoes... Yeah, he really wanted to not stand out from the crowd. But enough bitching about him, on to the event! Family members of the graduates were being seated in one section of the stands with Toshiro and Takamo taking their places toward the front. Meanwhile, Kyouka and Teru had already gotten their gown and caps on and started toward the group of other graduates who were ready. The former was busy with trying to get something untied to- Oh. The gown was a little looser now, showcasing less of the blondes rather large cleavage and giving some leeway to not standing out too much. _ Teru grinned toward the taller of the pair, "You know, if you'd quit snacking on candy and dairy you wouldn't have those things to carry around." Huffing, Kyouka replied, "You know, you'd grow a couple more inches taller if you'd let your balls drop." _ "And so it is indeed my day off. I'm actually glad to have it to see my niece and youngest brother graduate," Takamo said quietly placing what looked like a tobacco pouch in his mouth, he eases into his seat and bites down on it oddly enough, "But Toshiro I also gotta look out for any kind of recruit." _ Teru felt a little choked up of embarrassment but was able to step back and assess his attitude. Shit, what would Toshiro say? Shrugging like he didn't care, Teru said, "Hey, I'm proud of my acorns, unlike you who looks like every guy on the football team runs a train on." _ "Is it really that important?" Toshiro asked his older brother. He understood that yes, it was important to know that others who potentially could be sensitive to magic; let them be potential Knights or Magic-Gals or, "Sorceresses," As he called them, wasn't it better off to let them be and live normal lives? While Toshiro knew it that his family were far from normal he still didn't understand why Takamo had an interest in such things. Without knowledge of his little brother, the eldest had already placed the pair in a bubble of magic invisible to the Human eye. This would otherwise prevent outsiders from hearing their conversation but also made it look like they were just waiting for the ceremony to start. Takamo looked up at the sky and couldn't help but give a softer response, knowing Toshiro's blunt and to the point mindset, "Yes... It is important. It's not about trying to recruit anyone let alone getting know like minded people. Think of it this way: we're in a modern world where everything is uncertain, war, civil strife, politics, religious battles, those of us who are gifted have not only that to worry about but also the evils of the paranormal. Demons, daemons, otherworldly entities, the undead, monsters and what have you. But those aren't the biggest threats..." _ "Take it back, you little shit!!" Kyouka said with gritted teeth as she had Teru in a ravenous chokehold and was pounding on his head. "Oh boy, there she goes beating up another boy..." One girl said exhausted. Another responded, "C'mon, it's not the first time, didn't she beat up your ex? Coulda swore the guy was stalking you, yeah?" "Yeah, true that, but it's graduation day, she could go one day without being pissed off .." _ "Magic is not so much dying but being blanketed over, Toshiro. Not quick or even the theory that it'll just stop all at once one day. As time goes on, magic wanes in bloodlines and even in the spirit, save for bloodlines like ours which is still very strong. " Takamo had continued in a solemn tone, spitting out some contents onto the grass. Toshiro looked perplexed. To hear his brother say something as negative as that was... Disheartening? Toshiro then looked up at the sky as well asking, "So how's it "dying" or being suppressed? And what does any of this have to do with today?" "Well... Today is tied into magic because I think Teru is sterile. Of magic I mean! But what I mean is that the body, mind, and soul have become diluted overtime by the material world. We have to keep our powers concealed most of the time, we can't use it openly in public; can't showcase it, people would get scared, governments would get involved and it can become twisted. But with how much technology there is and how much you have to work, schooling, and online media too, some people who had used magic really lose touch with it after some time because of how much they go without using it. It goes dormant or in a few rare cases, it just vanished." Toshiro was trying to gauge the words of Takamo, weighing them and adjusting everything into specified order. He had no clue someone could lose their powers like that, and he replied, "And with the rising number of monsters popping up, I can see why it's scary." "Yeah. Slowly but surely I'm seeing magic altogether starting to just fade, I mean sure we have thousands of not a few million Knights and Sorceresses, but give it a hundred years? That number gets cut in half. Look I know it doesn't matter to you, but all I ask is you constantly practice it, yes keep your powers a secret from the general public but continue to train with it." Toshiro was silent for a solid minute before conclusively answering with, "Yeah... Alright, you got it, man. But uhh... God what the hell is taking them so long? You figured-" "Welcome everyone to the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2026!" A woman announced over a microphone on a large wooden stage ahead.
  21. Will get images up and going soon, should've had it sooner but have been with family. If y'all wanna go ahead and make your characters be my guest. I'm also allowing room for an additional coven and wolf pack, so if you wanna make one, please get with me first so we can establish where they will be placed and all, lore, etc.. Only gonna have a two character limit for myself, however if need be I can potentially make one or two additional to that roster, just not wanting to flood a club with a shit ton of player characters from my end.
  22. Name: Nasago Kabiki Age: 113 Species: Vampire Sex/Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Role (Vampire or Thrall): Vampire Rank: Corpse-Sower, Grave Warden Master (For thralls only, list which vampire is your master): N/A Personality: His appearance describes it all: nonchalant, uncaring about what happens mostly, and thinks almost everything including life, Werewolves, Humans, and Vampires are a drag. The guy has insomnia and unfortunately has to take special medication for it, however it only works half of the time as his magic tends to keep him awake. Although he has a tired appearance, Kabiki is well approachable and can talk about any subject. He is extremely smart given his role as Blackthorne's head doctor, and is just as physically powerful just as his magic is. He is also witty, though his voice sounds very uncharacteristic and devoid of emotion. Kabiki was personally trained in a variety of fighting styles and magic arts by Ito Toshiro and had developed hos own style of fighting, paying respect to the Butler but also following a life debt he owes the Vampire. Appearance Details: Kabiki is defined by his casual look of a gray shirt, or any loose shirt fir that matter, baggy pants held on by a belt, and of course a white lab coat. He looks drained of energy but is... While not quite the opposite, he just looks tired. There are shades of dark under his eyes, he also always wears reading glasses that is lazily placed on his nose, or a pair of sunglasses... Inside a building. Other Details (optional): Kabiki uses a powerful blood magic, manipulating blood and capable of summoning weapons through the magic as well. He also uses fire magic as a primary, however is well versed in using smoke magic which is when be uses that to his advantage. Kabiki is all about the manipulation of the mind, illusions and using psychedelic effects from his smoke, his uses of these three elements are extremely extensive and is unmatched in his unorthodox methods of fighting. While Kabiki is a ranged fighter no doubt, he can also go hand to hand but prefers poisoning a foe than simply beating them to death. He is an extremely quick thinker, always five steps ahead of everyone usually.
  23. Werewolf Information Werewolves live and act based on more instinct and tradition. In the wolf pack there is a strict order of leadership. This starts with either The Alpha or Luna being the leader (Alpha is for males, Luna for females), followed by the Beta which acts as a second leader, the doctor who acts as a Gamma and would occasionally overrule the leader in medical matters, then the Delta who is in charge of the warriors, followed by the queens (pregnant females), and then omegas. When a werewolf transforms into a wolf form, typically the wolf form is larger than that of their human for. So if a werewolf transforms while wearing their clothes it typically would tear their clothes. So it is recommended they remove their clothing before transforming. There are a variety of wolves by breed, however there are two distinct transformations where one is more natural and happens fluidly, whilst the other is painful and is rather forced. Lycans are a type of werewolf that tend to be more violent and feral, and in many cases a Lycan has to be trained vigorously or otherwise be put down for being too much a liability/threat to the pack. Werewolves tend to mark their territory using urine, this helps outside packs and Omegas identify borders, but in many cases they use blood or carving laced with wolfsbane extract as it's extremely potent in smell to wolves. Once a month there pack goes into a mating season. During this period hormones and pheromones' run high, it increases the sex drive of werewolves dramatically. This heightened sex drive either dies down after mating or at the end of the period. If a pack member wishes not to mate they can help resist the urge to mate and temporarily calm themselves through masturbation, or they can see the Gamma for something that helps with resistance. Male werewolves can not become pregnant (should not need to say this but this is a common thing I have seen.). Due to their nature of commonly transforming, nudity is not as frowned upon as it is in human society. In fact it is primarily viewed as just natural. This does not mean that werewolves never wear clothes, it's simply that nudity is not alien/foreign to them. When an alpha takes a mate that mate gains the title of Luna (if female). Same with the Luna, if a Luna took on a male mate that mate is called Alpha, in more "formal" cases the main leader is referred to as a Maius while the mate is a Luminare. Protecting Queens and their children is one of the most important rules of the warriors of the pack. If an Alpha or Luna dies the Beta becomes the new Alpha or Luna, whether it is permanent or temporary, should they die as well the Gamma, and then the Delta would step in. Should a (ex.) Warrior become an Alpha/Luna by becoming a mate, it is merely honorary and when that primary leader dies or steps down that same mate loses that title. While silver won't harm a werewolf normally, if consumed or if it enters the body by some means it can be lethal. __________________ Vampire Information Vampires are mostly nocturnal as direct sunlight can harm them. And if they remain in sunlight for too long they could die. It can start with blisters which then leads to combustion, silver can have this effect on them too. They can however bundle up clothes and cover their body to go out during the day. Vampires have the ability to charm humans using a magic spell. Charming is temporary and can only last an hour at most. Vampires can transform into a bat for faster traveling, however there are cases of vampires turning into a small swarm of locusts or even a crow, this shapeshifting ability is limited to the ability of the vampire; however they can only transform into that one avian-like creature. Vampires are visible in mirrors even of silver, however if they are near mirrors with iron their powers are dampened. Silver has a toxic reaction to vampires, touching it burns them. Vampires can touch garlic and even eat it, however if around even uncut garlic their senses are blocked from smell to hearing. Vampires need to feed daily, they can not feed off of each other, but they can feed off of animals and humans. A human can become a thrall or life long servant of a vampire either through curse or contract. A vampire does not die unless through an outside force or by not being able to feed, however, if starved a vampire will turn ravenous and will consume any living or even dead creature it finds, even other vampires.
  24. Alpha/Luna (Leader/Maius): The Alpha and Luna is the leader of the Midnight Pack, making important decisions to ensure the safety and progress of the pack. They can take council from the Beta and Delta, or even their mates for strategy in the pack itself and against foes. But in the end it is the leaders fin decision that truly matters. If the leader is Male, they are Alpha, whereas a Female is Luna. If the leader is in a same sex relationship, they are referred to as an Alpha or Luna Maius. (ie. Alpha "Jake" Maius or Luna "Dana" Maius) Alpha/Luna (Mate/Luminare): The mate of the Alpha/Luna is called a Luminare, as they hold the titles of the head roles, they are primarily the mate of the leaders. An Alpha/Luna Luminare can give council and aid to their mate/other half, however they also help the tribe with a variety of responsibilities just as the Maius does as they represent the other half of them as well, so a Luminare is carefully picked by the Alpha/Luna. A Luminare DOES NOT become Maius/head of the pack if the lead Alpha/Luna die or step down, instead being reverted to their original roles. (ie. Alpha "John" Luminare or Luna "Hannah" Luminare) Beta: Second in Command of the pack, the Betas main role is council and advisor to the Alpha/Luna, even acting as an envoy in certain cases. The advisor can provide details and information from certain viewpoints to aid in the decision-making of the leader, and should the Alpha/Luna be away, fall ill or die, the Beta can take their place for a time being. When there are multiple Betas, the one to take the leadership role of the Alpha/Luna is referred to as the Beta Major. When a Beta dies, the Alpha/Luna appoints a new one. The main/head Beta is called a Major, while all others are Minor. Gamma: Considered as the third in command and as the medical expert or doctor, it is the Gamma who tends to the wounded and ill. They are capable of growing herbs and unique flora, while also making medicines and elixirs. The Gama is capable of communing with the dead, specifically the Midnight Ancestors, as well as being able to utilize premonitions and spiritual healing. Hey xan also be the final say in decisions regardkng .edical practice, capable of overriding the Alpha/Luna in this field. However communication with the Ancestors is only if the pack leader deemed it necessary. The Gamma is considered a last resort leader of the tribe should the Alphas/Lunas, Betas, and Deltas all be dead or unfit for leading, and will lead until a suitable Warrior or Delta can take the helm of the Midnight Pack. The head Gamma is called a Major, while the others and trainees are called Minor. Delta: Recognized as veteran warriors, they are granted authority to organize patrol routes, scouting and reconnaissance, and even give tactical aid when needed; war strategies and such. These are seasoned warriors and are far more skilled than most of the Warrior ranks. The head Delta is called a Major, while others are called Minor, however should there be multiple Majors the one to lead them all is called an Ultra; a rare rank not seen in many generations, many have been older Wolves who are considered best of the best and are hand picked by the Alpha/Luna. The head Delta reports only to the Alpha/Luna. The Major is picked by the Alpha/Luna to lead the forces. And oftentimes, these ranks are used in special operations. Ultra > Major > Minor Warriors: The common type of Wolf that is of fighting age to serve the pack properly. They are used in protecting the pack and utilized for a variety of tasks. Warriors are given no real ranks, but that doesn't mean a few individuals can't shine through as well. Omega: Either unfit to be aby if the roles including Warrior or not in standing. An Omega is generally an outsider taken in, an elder wolf of the pack, a Newblood, a disabled individual, or even a pup are essentially considered Omegas in that regard. Additional Terms: Queen: A female wolf that is either pregnant or is nursing their pups, once the young are weenie off the Queen goes back to their original role. Queens are heavily protected by the pack. Pup: A child of the pack, they are referred as Pups until they are old enough to mate, in which they are trained for combat and hunting until they are ready to be an Omega or take on an official role as Warrior. Scion: A direct descendant of the original werewolves, or close enough, these aren't held in ranks but can w used to reference others that have more Wolfblood than other pack members and can be traced back as such. Oftentimes they are Scions are rare, and are widely sought out to help breed to bring more powerful wolves to the pack. Disclaimer: If you desire for your character to be a Scion, please hit me up first. Not a whole lot of characters will have that chance.
  25. Below is the terms/examples for the roles that currently exist. Night Master/Mistress is the head of the Blackthorne Family, lord of all vampires in the clan and taught to be the leader for the future of the clan. Under normal circumstances, only those with the Blackthorne Blood can truly be a Night Master/Mistress, however should they be defeated or die, the Butler takes over for a temporary time until another of the bloodline is found, for better or worse. The lord vampire is overall the strongest if not oldest and most skilled in combat and knowledge, however this has proven to be false before on rare occasions. Nightstalker, a secondary leader acting as overall commander of the other ranks. The Nightstalker can be older or younger than the Night Master/Mistress, however they must have great knowledge of warfare, magic, and of the enemy. There can only ever be two of these ranks, as they are extremely important and given to handpicked individuals, referred to as a Prime and Second. Mistwalker ranks are generalized as moderately powerful, above the "common" vampire, the Mistwalker acts as spies, assassins, and considered elite soldier's above others. While anyone could potentially obtain this rank, they would have to prove their loyalties, skills and strengths to become such. Corpse-Sowers are the doctors of the Family, having both basic, advanced, and magical knowledge in the medical fields for their Vampires and Humans. They have magic primarily based around medical care, as well as having the requirements to be actual doctors. The head of the Corpse-Sowers is called a Doctor or rather the Grave Warden in professional terms in the Vampiric world, while all others are Nurses or Assistants. Blooded are the generalized soldiers of the Blackthorne Estate, the common vampire, both strong and weak, are used for any application in combat; between assault to defense, scouting and recovery operations, Vampires that follow understand the role take orders from the Nightstalker, Night Master/Mistress, and oddly enough the Butler. New Bloods or Fledgelings are the newly turned Vampires or Strays brought into the Blackthorne Estate. They vary in power, as New Bloods are new born Vampires with weak powers, and Strays are often a wildcard. That being said they are weaker than seasoned/older vampires for obvious reasons. Thralls are the life slaves or servant's of any given Vampire, as they are bonded so too do they receive the gift of endless aging. Thralls are varied as well, as normally the Blackthorne Family take Humans indebted to them or those willingly, however it's not uncommon to see a Thrall be bonded against their will. They can be personal servant's, blood bags, and whatever else a Vampire might want. In some cases few Thrall's have become personal guards for their master's, and as such, they can freely ignore psychological/psychic commands from other vampires depending on bond and how powerful the bond between master and such are. _____________ The Butler, while not in charge of combat, is an advisor and council to the Blackthorne Family as a whole. They can give commands of defense to the Vampiric and common ranks, but can even send then on their own behalf of it is truly important. The Butler, or Head of the Estate, makes sure operations,preparations, and chores are done on the grounds on the regular, truly never a break in sight. There can be several Butlers, but only the "Head" can call the shots, and is entrusted by the Night Master/Mistress Maid is a common worker, normally doing chores and delivering items such as food or clothes to their masters. They are not Thralls, and are to be treated in respect. They follow direct orders from only the Butler and the head of the Family, however they tend to also do favors for everyone else as well if they have the time. Not only are they not to be fed on, but any Maid (even of they are Human or Vampire) abused by any Vampiric ranks will answer to the Butler and the Night Master/Mistress, punishment will follow swiftly and just. Detective and Guards are two main bodies of security, let them be Human or Vampires, or any undead for that matter. While the Detective is only given to one individual, they are responsible for seeking out intruders, murders, and anything that could harm or be illegal toward the Family. Guards are just that, a main body of defense for keeping out the riffraff and undesirables, they have useful tools to help then do the job, but other than that keep patrols and a watchful eye over the Estate.
