Ok so this little RPG is going to be open but will have a story to tie things together

Story:
December 21, 2012 is when it happened strange portals opened up all over the world and out of them poured creatures of unimaginable horror. Dragons, hellhounds, Kraken's, Wyvern's, Blood Spider's these and every other creature of myth and legend poured from these gateways. On that day 7.5 Billion people populated the Earth now six weeks later there are only a half billion remaining. Who live in fear among the estimated 800 million or so beasts and in a world in ruin.

However of the seven billion killed not all stayed dead those who's bodies were not damaged greatly are among a three billion strong zombie horde that hunt for those that survived. Mysteriously these goul's are not attacked by the creatures.

It is in myth and legend that mankind has found ways to destroy these creatures but the numbers are telling.

There is a faint hope as certain humans were changed as well some became werewolves or vampires and gained great physical skills, others gained mystical talent. None of the changed however lack the knowledge or skill to properly utilise there gifts and number at best in the hundreds of thousands.

Some of the changed seek to protect survivors, others seek to rule them. They have split into two warring factions. The Guardians who are the protectors and The Vanguard who are the conqueror's.

Rules:

1. Werewolves and Vampires may command up to five NPC's or PC's and other players can only be turned with there permission.

2. If you play as a changed remember your new at this you woke up one morning and were different. Basically your still learning to cope with your abilities and there weaknesses. For example Vampires and garlic, werewolves and silver. Religious symbols and sunlight do nothing.

3. Despite the open nature there is a basic plot so players will have to work together eventually. I'll nudge you in the right direction when that time comes.

4. Be Sensible

Misc

I'm leaving ten slots open once thay are full we will begin, other slots may become open.

If you want to leave simply kill off your character

What the heck, i love vampires ...

Name: Rudi Warding.

Age: 36.

Location: Guildford England.

Species: Vampire.

Appearance: Rudi stands 6'1 weighs 80kgs. Wears a black trench coat, collar upwards along his neck. Black pants and long black leather boots. Has a stolen silver rolex watch on his left hand, a black leather glove on the right hand. That's his business hand. Usually wears black Aviator Shades during the day. On his head he has a full head of combed back oily snow white hair. Big scar on his left cheek and a tattoo of a burning crucifix on the left side of his neck.

Faction: Vanguard.

Bio: Rudi was a hired hitman in his days. Once he retired he had free time all the time. Used to got to the cinema every night, eat bad food every night. Every night, until that night. The year was 2012. He had been in the cinema when the gates started opening. He could hear the screaming terror outside those walls.
He went outside and saw the horror, the beautiful horror that was taking place. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. But the next thing he remembers is waking in his bed, dying of hunger. He tried to eat, tried to drink, but the food felt like dirt in his mouth, and the water did not satisfy his thirst. Nothing could end this eternal suffering he was in, until. He was out one day, trying to find something, but all he could find was danger in every corner. Demons lurked the streets and dragons roamed the air.
But after finding out, that blood was the only satisfaction, he began to enjoy life, a bit more. His pain was gone, and a new life, of opportunity had arrived. And he wasn't going to waste it. He grabbed his .44 Revolver and Mustang GT car keys, and decided to check out London.

Weapons: .44 Revolver, fangs and claws.

If you don't mind, i added Appearance in it :)

That's Aviator Shades :)


And, reckoning you only have 50 posts, you have quite the talent for RP's :D Say, have you done this before? Another forum or another account or something? No newbie could pull an RP this well thought through....

Appearance: Black hair, thin skeletal hands, tight skin. Long, thin face.

Name: Gary Anderson
Age: 19
Location: Toronto, Canada
Species : Human

Appearance: Thick brown hair, Brown eyes, fairly dark skin, wearing black ripped t-shirt, with running shoes, glasses, jeans and red and gray hoodie.
Faction: Guardians

Bio: Gary was a good student in school, always getting 80's in school, and was a fairly social person. In his spare time, he read books on demons, which everyone teased him about. After graduating, he had plans to become an author, writing about, of course, demons. Until the event happened.... These demons and beasts were unlike what he read about, completely different. While Gary was attending a rock concert(Gary likes rock music), a portal opened on the stage, slaughtering everyone, but by pure chance, he had to go to the washroom when the portal opened. When he exited, he saw nothing but carnage and hell in front of his eyes. He ran home, but his family, friends and everyone else was killed as well. Strangely, he saw his friend, Marvin still alive. He went close, but he was a zombie... Gary ran to the nearest house, grabbed a knife, and stabbed his friend to death. He swore revenge on the demons, and promised to hunt them all down......

Weapons: Kitchen Knife, Sawn off Shotgun with 16 rounds.

Oh, can I still join?
Name: William Shannow
Age: 15
Location: London, England
Species: Vampire
Appearance: Tall and lean, with long-ish hair and cold, blue eyes. Wears jeans and a T-shirt, but still somehow melts into even the smallest shadow
Faction: unknown/undecided
Bio: Once a normal teenager, the time since the portals opened has changed Will dramatically. Life as a vampire has transformed his view of life, and he now remembers his old life as if it were years ago. Always, he fights the desire for blood, and it drives him mad, often making him delirious. Strangely, the stress caused by the lack of blood actually drives him to great feats of strength and speed.
Weapons: None, save his body

Is that ok? Also, how powerful are the vampires and werewolves in this? Are they vulnerable to weapons, or inhuman machines that dodge bullets, catch swords and walk through walls?

Come to think of it what are the Vampires like? I hope they're the quintessential Stokeresque vampires.

As long as they ain't from Twilight, I'm happy. But it would be nice to know, before the GM kicks me out for being overpowered, or I get my face eaten for underpowered

I hope I don't get sun-damage, that would bug me after a while. Unless there was some way to counter-act it...

If your shot or stabbed it hurts like shit you'll heal but it takes while and this nothing like twilight unless you want to kill the douchbags who created.

Werewolves in human form have enhanced sight, speed, strength, healing and smell. Vampires have the first four.
