This idea is based on the anime 'Shiki'.

The setting is a small village, almost completely blocked off from the rest of the world. A few months ago, an entire district burned down, none of the inhabitants survived, so no one bothered to rebuild or visit anymore, resulting in a 'ghost town' on the side of the village nearest the forest. And even if anyone wanted to visit the area, the trees along the road leading to it have weakened, or already fallen onto it, making it impossible to drive, and unsafe to walk there. One could simply go through the forest, but three weeks ago, an attack by some sort of wild animal has made that unsafe also. So, for almost a month, the villagers have acted as though that part of the village no longer exists.

Three nights ago, however, a patient was admitted into the small hospital, where they died later that night, supposedly due to anemia from blood loss. No injuries internal or external were discovered, however, except from a few bug bites. It was dismissed initially, although the doctors were puzzled by it. Since then, though, it seems they have a lot on their hands, as three more patients have been admitted, all showing the same symptoms, and strange bug bites. What could be causing the mysterious deaths?

In the next few days, more people will fall ill, and some may even notice the recently dead walking around at night. Just what is going on in this once peaceful village?

On the other hand:
A small group of vampires, driven from every previous home, have finally found a village in which to settle. However, the village is full of the kind who despise and fear them...with good reason. Humans are their only source of food, and although some may not like it, they must feed to survive. And since they have killed many already, killing off an entire village to make it their own will be an easy task.
After feeding on the inhabitants of a small district in the most isolated part of the village, the vampires successfully made it 'uninhabitable' and inaccessible to the other humans, making it their own 'nest' to begin their plan. With numbers so small, making the village their own will be impossible, so the next phase of their plan is to increase their numbers gradually by making the villagers join them.
Once bitten, the victim's mind is easy to control, and any order from the vampire who bites them will be followed. It takes up to four days for one vampire to kill a victim, returning each night to drink more blood. Then, with the infection still in the victim's system, they are likely to rise up as a vampire as well, three or four days after their death, officially joining their forces.

Rules vampires must abide by:
Vampires are unable to access a house unless invited in by one of the inhabitants. Once one is granted access, however, the house becomes open to the rest, and they are free to feed on the family inside.
Religious images/statues are terrifying to all vampires, although not physically harmful.
All vampires must feed on a regular basis, no less than once every three days, or they will starve to death.
New vampires must feed within five hours of revival, or they will die.
Vampires will not age or die from illness.
Injuries will heal after a few seconds.
Sunlight is dangerous and will burn vampires within minutes.
It is impossible to drink more than an amount of two cupfuls of blood in each feeding.

Rules for humans to kill vampires:
There are only three ways for a human to kill a vampire. Stake through the heart, decapitation, or drag them into the sunlight for a long period of time.

Rp rules:
1) No Godmodding/invincible characters. Even if your character is a vampire, they can die, and can't necessarily just bite a human who is attacking them.
2) Do not kill someone else's character without their permission. And if you want to leave the rp, kill off your own character, or make them go away somewhere.
3) No attention seeking. You can have your own plot twists, and get injured/endangered. But not every five posts. Everyone else has their own plot twists, and they don't want to have to stop what they're doing to rescue yours...again. Every character is just as important as your own.
4) Violence/romance is encouraged. But don't go OTT.
5) Even if your character is a vampire, they do not have superhuman strength. Their abilities are healing fast, not aging, not reacting to any sort of drug or normal attack, and immunity to illness etc. etc. etc. You can't suddenly fly or throw buildings at people. >:c
6) Use proper spelling/punctuation/grammar. Typos are inevitable, but don't typ lyk dis becuz iz da internetz.
7) Feel free to move the plot along with your own ideas. But respect the ideas/plans of everyone else. If it seems like someone has a plan going, don't ruin it.
8) Remember to have fun. :D

History: Taurus grew up in a very small, farming village where everyone knew each other, which is possibly one of the reasons he helped choose this location for the vampire village. He was turned by a strange visitor passing through the village, but he can not remember that stranger's face. All he can remember is waking up in the forest three days after his death. He traveled alone for a while, gradually becoming used to killing humans to survive, and then about 50 years ago, he joined the small band of vampires, now settling into the village.

The sun had just set and Mika was sitting by a tree looking upat the stars, this was her favorite time of night. She smiled and leaned her head back feeling the slight breese blow her long hair around her. Suddenly she caught the sent of something in the air. Slowly she stood up and looked around, Hmm... Wonder whos there... She thought to herself looking around.

Age: 15

Human/Vampire: Human
Other: Delaine had a twin brother who disappered when they were children (Devin). Her mother died during child birth and was considered the village whore so her father was unknown. Delaine works as the nurse's aid and has seen the bitten patients.

[This may be asking for a lot, but could someone be Devin? I have this cool plan for him to have been taken by a lonesome vampiress and raised amoungst them. When the village is invaded, they are reunited even though they are enemies. Like most stories, there has to be love, but this is new in the fact that it is brother-sister love instead of boy-girl love. I would be him, but I have enough trouble being one person. Pleeeeease?!]

Another patient came in. This one was even whiter than the last. Delaine felt a longing to help out this woman, but didn't know how. The doctor came in and asked Delaine to leave, he didn't want her to see this. "You can come back later to change the sheets and arrange the pillows," he'd say, even though they both knew there would be no "later". Delaine left with her head and spirits low. Their village was so low in numbers, at this rate, there would be few left to carry on for the generations. Delaine ran to the church with tears in her eyes for her neighbors. She feel to her knees infront of Virgin Mary. Clutching her mother's cross, Delaine began to pray. "Mary," she sobbed, "what are we to do/ As more and more of us grow ill, our crops go unattended and our hopes for the future dwindle to nothing. We need a way to stop this bug, this...this parasite . Please Mary, help us! Amen." Delaine stood and crossed her self. She left the church feeling more lost than before.

Other : Delaine's twin brother who disappeared while they were still children. He's been brought up amongst vampires, taken in by a lonesome vampiress.

(As requested by Vexx's Torturous Doll. This is my first time rpg'ing, so excuse my grammatical mistakes and the rest :) )

Devin sighed. The plan was going perfectly. After they burned down an entire district, the vampires were gradually taking over. Yet he was forbidden to take a step outside and could only see the vampires enter and leave the house. He knew he was different from the others, but couldn't understand why he was confined in this old house, without company. Sometimes Mika came and talked to him, but it was time for her to feed. Life sure was lonely being the only human. While lost in thought, he looked out the window. The nights seemed darker than usual, as if something was about to happen.

[Your doing pretty good to me:}]

Mika had left the small clearing and found a woman on the outscirts of the town, she had gotten he fill from the woman and then sent her into the town, where Mika knew the woman would be picked up and take to a doctor, that was what always happened.
Mika sighed then quickly turned and started making her way back to the hide out she shared with a few others of her kind, and a boy that she looked after. I wonder if Devin is hungry.. She thought to herself as she saw a rabbit cross her path. Quickly she pounced on it, grabbed it, and snapped its neck. "He will be able to cook this for tonight." She said to herself and she sat down next to a tree and then took out her knife and started skinning the rabbit. She skinned it and then gutted it, so when she was finished and heading back all that was left was the nice tinder meat and some bones. She walked into camp, no one was around, Must be all out hunting... She thought as she mad her way to Where Devin was.
"Hey I brought you some food!" She said as she walked in and smiled, holding up the rabbit.

Devin heard someone approach and look in the direction of the sound. He recognized Mika's light tread.
She entered the room, a soft smile lighting up her face: "Hey, I brought you some food", she said, holding out a skillfully skinned rabbit.
If it weren't for Mika, Devin would've starved a long time ago. Most vampires conveniently forgot he didn't feed on blood and since he wasn't allowed to go outside, he couldn't possibly go shopping.
Mika handed Devin the rabbit. "Thanks", he muttered. "I wouldn't know what to do without you." He looked her grateful in the eyes.
"And, how did the hunting go?" he inquired, still holding the rabbit.

Mika shrugged as she sat next to a small fire pit and started a fire to cook the rabbit over, "It went alright. But..." She sighed and looked up through the small smoke hole in the roof at the stars, "It's getting harder to find people without going to close to the town. I would much rather not go into the town, but if the people are getting suspious... We might end up having to." She explained her voice was soft as she spoke. I wonder how the others are making out.. She thought then looked at Devin and smiled taking the rabbit from him. She placed it on a stick and secured it over the fire, "Has Taurus come back yet?... I need to talk to him.." She asked softly as she looked outside Devin's tent.

Devin shook his head. "You're the first one to arrive, I haven't seen anyone else."
He looked how the rabbit slowly roasted, the fat glimming in the flames.
"It won't be long before he gets here though, he left not so long after you took off."
They sat quietly next to each other, gazing at the stars that could been seen through the opening.
A sudden noise broke the silence. The slamming of the door was followed by a male voice. He looked at Mika: "The others are coming back."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised. "Thanks again for the food."

Mika looked up at the man who had just come in, her expression didn't change, she didn't smile, and her eyes were dull. "We need to talk." She said, her voice soft but firm. Sometimes it was a little scary when Mika got like this, she didn't seem like she was upset of like she would hurt someone, but that was just it. When Mika got like this, no one could tell what was going through her head, or what she was feeling.
Slowly she looked over at Devin and took a lock of his messy hair and gently twisted it around her finger then just before she stood up she kissed the top of his head lightly. It didn't matter that Devin was safe with them, Mika still felt like she had to protect him, he had been like a brother to her for so long.
She smiled at him and stood up then went outside and waited for the man to follow.

A man entered the room. Devin felt how the atmosphere in the room changed. Mika got up, not expressing anything.
Her voice was clear but without any sign of emotion. He had known her long enough to understand that it was better to not get in her way. At this point, she was out of his control.
"We need to talk", she said in a soft but firm voice. Devin wondered what it was that made Mika act like this, but knew better than to meddle in vampire business.

Mika looked at him, took a strand of his hair and twisted it around her finger. She kissed the top of his head, like so many times before. It was a gesture that always had calmed him down and made him feel safe, even when he was a kid. Besides Mother, the woman that took him in, she was the only person he felt comfortable with.
She then turned to Taurus.
Devin still looked at her. She smiled gently before leaving with Taurus.
Even after they left, he continued to look at the doorpost through which they left. Only when he smelt the scent of burning flash, he realized the rabbit was done and started eating.

{Thank you so much Alice. This is going to be so fun! I also realized that i spelled Delanie wrong. De-lan-ee. I dunno. I'll probably use them interchangeabley{sp? that was an odd word} so I apologize if it bothers you.

Delanie grapped her cloak from wipping around her. The night had a bite to the air and Delainie was eager to get home. The shadows seemed to be creeping up close to her and Delanie couldn't help but feel calaustraphobic. Something moved out of the corner of Delanie's eye and she jerked to a stop and turned. Under the glare of the streetlight, it was hard to see, but she could have sworn she could see the sillohoutte of a man in a trench coat standing next to the local bakery. The man smiled and Delanie ran, the chilling chuckles chasing her through the streets. Ever since the attacks had started, few ventured out into the night and tonight Delanie had been unfortunate enough to be in the middle of a vampire's hunting grounds, but she didn't know that. Delanie glanced behind her to see if she was being followed and ran squarely into a large man's chest. Letting out a yelp, Delanie turned to run, but a cold hand grabbed her forarm and held her in place. The man was clothed in shadow, so Delanie couldn't tell who it was. She scratched at this stranger, hoping to cause him pain. "Delanie! Stop! Jeez, what's got you all rilled up?" Delanie's long-time childhood friend, Erik, said. Delanie could have hugged him. "It's you!" she exclaimed, ceasing her attacks on his hand. "I dunno what was wrong with me. I guess these attacks have gotten my mine in a mental knot. Everytime I turn, I think someone is following me!" she confessed. "Well, it's just me, so no worries. I was coming to find you. A few of us are going to the meadow this evening, I was wondering if you wanted to come with us," he said. Delanie shook away all of her mischevious thought of monsters in the shadows and yearned for some down time. "I have tomorrow off, so sure! Let me change into something warmer, first." she told him, excited for some fun.

{Alice, if I can call you that, when do you want Devin and Delanie to meet up?}

He stared outside to the sky that still was filled with numerous stars. Devin shivered, the nights became colder and colder and soon winter would come.
It was on nights like these that he felt a bit melancholic, trying to remember forgotten memories.
His life before Mother found him was one black gap, but he couldn't shake the feeling that kept him awake. The fire only burned weakly now and in an attempt to get warm again, he held his hands closer to the little flames. A girly voice, too faint to actually understand what she said, resounded in his head. Who was I before all of this, he wondered?
Someone slammed the front door, heavy footsteps followed. Devin's eyes narrowed. Another creature of the night had returned from his hunt.

(No need to thank me, I really liked the idea ^^ - You mentioned you wanted to let them meet when the village was invaded. I think that's great - in all the action, they stumble upon each other... something like that? :P )

{Yeah! This is going to be fuuuuun! I just hope that this RPG doesn't die like most seem to do. I was actually thinking about how what if Delaine saw Devin and that's all she can think about, but then I could also plaugue her with dreams of a twin brother.}

Delaine shrugged on her heavy overcoat. The nip of the air urged her fur lined boots and wool socks, so Delaine put them on. She slid out into th night where Erik waited. "Letn me guess, there will be booze and food, right?" she asked him suspiciously. "Well, of course, love. Where's the party without it?!" he laughed happily. Unable to be angry while Erik was in such a carefree mood, Delaine gave into the night,s wonderful, weightless air. She drank and sang and laughed and danced, as did all those there. With the deeaths surrounding the past days, everyone just wanted to forget, so they did. But they will soon realize what a poor mistake they have made.

{D: I'm so sorry it's taken so long to post. >...< I didn't even know I was needed for Taurus's reply. XD}

Taurus moved back out into the cold air with Mika, keeping an amused gaze on her face. She was so adorable when she got like this.
"You have something you want to ask me?" he asked sweetly, his own tone not giving away his amusement. "Something serious, by the looks of it...Don't tell me you've decided you don't like this place, after we've killed so many and doubled our numbers, securing a nice little camp for ourselves in the process...It would be such a pain to move this many of us, now." He sighed deeply, this time allowing her to see he wasn't entirely serious.

Tomo sat in the grass, watching the blurred figures of the others dancing and having a good time. He would usually be up there with them, but he was too drunk to move. It seemed the only teenager missing...who hadn't died or fallen ill, as far as he knew, was Maria. But that wasn't too strange. She wasn't one for parties like this, and her grandfather had passed away the day before. It seemed he had come down with the same disease everyone seemed to be getting right now. A lot suspected it was highly contagious, so, either Maria hadn't been invited, for fear she and her family were already infected, or she simply hadn't felt like coming.

The creatures watched from the shadows as their prey laughed and drank. The smeel of booze and smoke were getting stronger, it was almost time to hunt...

Delanie swayed to the sound of the guitar riff. She felt free, weightless. The day's past events were a long forgotten memory. As Delaine pressed closer to Erik, she saw something out of the coner of her eye, but when she turned, there was nothing to be seen. Erik leaned down to whisper something in her ear, but the music was to loud. Delaine went to the fringes of the party with Erik in tow. "What did you say?" she asked him. "I said tha' you loo'd really pretty t'night," he slurred. He leaned in close and closed his eyes. "No, Erik, sto-" she was cut off by a scream. The music had stopped and Delaine had a perfect view of why. The guitarist, Johnny, was clamped between the jaws of a vampire. The man threw the empty husk to the ground and grabbed a girl trying to get away. Chaos. Blood. Dead bodies. Everywhere. They were everywhere. Once you thought you were safe, your best friend would be pluked from your side within the black forests. They surrounded them, loving this game of cat and mouse. Their eyes reflecting the moonlight like the predators they were.

On his way to the front door, Devin bumped into Charles. Among the vampires, he was one of the eldest. Devin had never talked to him before, but his gut feeling warned him to stay as far as he could from him. He emitted a certain dangerous aura.
When Charles looked down and saw Devin glancing at him, he smirked. His eyes were as cold as ice. "Where's is Mika?" he asked.
Devin was surprised the vampire said something to him for the first time. Most of them treated him as non-existent. That is why for a brief moment, he could only stare with eyes wide open.

He quickly restored himself and shrugged his shoulders. "Busy" he muttered.
Charles nodded and started to walk away. Just before going into his room, he turned around.

"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't go outside for the moment. The others are having a party." he said, licking his lips.

Devin headed straight for the door. As soon as he opened it, he could hear them clearly. The screaming pierced his ears, covering them didn't help. Flashes of images passed before his eyes. . A small hand reaching out to him, a girl screaming: "No brother, don't let me go!" And red, oceans of crimson red. His hands, his face, everything was painted red.
His head started pounding, the whole world became a blur. The smell of smoke filled his lungs.
"Sister..." he whispered, before passing out.

Delanie ran with all she had. The bodies of friends and schoolmates litered the ground. Delanie saw lights up ahead and, thinking them as her village, ran towards them. An arm snaked around Delanie"s waist, stopping her mid-run. "You look tasty," a meancing voice whispered into Delanie's ear. "Little girls shouldn't be out alone at night," the voice purred. "I am NOT a li...," Delanie began, but sleep consumed her. "I think I'll save you for later.." the voice said before Delanie lost conscienceness.

When she woke up, Delanie was face down on a wooden floor. "You're awake?" a voice asked. Delanie looked unto the eyes of her captor. The eyes she looked into were those of a young woman about the same age as Delanie. Her hair was a lovely violet with eyes to match. "Are you going to kill me?" Delanie's voice came out in a squeak. The strange woman threw back her head and laughed an enticing laugh. "No, m'dear, I am not. But, that's just me," when she smiled, your could see the gleaming canines framed by the woman's smile. Unease filled Delanie. "Wh-who are you?" Delanie asked, terrified for her life. "Who am It is not WHO I am that you should worry about, it's WHAT I am. But, for whatever good it'll do, you may call me Mika." Fear gripped Delanie and she fainted for the second time in her life.
