UNDERDEEP FACTIONS
Baroque – The Baroque Faction is the high class of the vampires. They see beauty in everything and are very cultural minded. This faction is responsible for the poets, artists, musicians, and celebrities of the vampire culture. Baroques are very charismatic and very cultural minded. They also tend to be obsessed with materialistic ideals and find it easy to get caught up in the materialistic side of society. They like to look nice and have nice things. They find it easy to judge their value on what they have.
Nosferatu – The Nosferatu Faction is the loner faction of Underdeep. They are ostracized by the other factions. They are physically different. Their skin is pulled taught over their skin. Instead of just the canine teeth elongated, they are all pointed. Their front two teeth are longer than the rest. Their ears are drastically pointed and have no hair on their bodies. The physical change in a Nosferatu was caused by the vampires being closer to the chemicals and radiation during the Great War. They tend to be loners and quiet, trying to stay invisible. This is the ONLY faction a vampire is born into and stuck with.
Patrician – The Patrician Faction is the aristocrats of the vampires. They are the political leaders, the conquerors, the law makers, the judges. They usually hold seats on the Underdeep Council. They are kings and queens, presidents, etc. They make sure Underdeep runs smoothly. The Patrician also are in charge of the Bounty Hunters. They set them out to keep the citizens of Underdeep under control.
Protean – The Protean faction of vampires are more animalistic. They rely heavily on instinct and senses. The Proteans are closely related to canines and werewolves, other than being able to shift into wolf state. Their ears are more pointed than the others and they have more of a wild look in their eyes. They choose to embrace their animalistic qualities than keep hold of their human qualities. They tend to be excellent trackers.
Pseudo – The Pseudo Faction are the chameleons of the vampire society. They are the one's who can blend in with the above grounders. They are able to channel their energy to hide the fact that they are a vampire. It takes concentration and if broken for too long, the Hunters will find them. They are able to work, shop....overall blend in with the human community. Their focus allows them to slow down their metabolism so they don't need to feed as often either. They can conceal their identities for eight hours. After eight hours, fatigue begins to set in and their shield begins to come down. They must make sure they are well fed before they venture above ground.
Renegade – The Renegade Faction are the rebels of the vampire society. They are outspoken and run on adrenaline. They are the “party boys” and usually have no responsibilities. They are the trouble makers and more times than not end up in jail. They are usually tattooed and pierced and are anarchists. They prefer harder music and have more of a biker complex. They also tend to be bullies. Life for the Renegade is more about the good time than the responsibility.
Darkness Vampires – A Darkness Vampire is one turned by the Darkness. They have the ability to turn others, but they themselves have no sire. Their sire is the Dark Abyss. They have the unique ability to expose the darkness in others. The effects are temporary, but will make the person being exposed to the dark inside of them go insane. Again, this is temporary. The length is based on the age of the Darkness Vampire compared to the age of the target vampire. In the case of the target being a human, the length is doubled.
Ex. DV Joe is a 25 year old vampire and he is targeting a 20 year old vampire. The insanity will last five hours.
That same DV is targeting a 40 year old human. This is a little different....The DV got turned at 18. 18+25 = 43. 43-40 = 3. 3 x2 = 6 The effects will last six days.
Now what if the human is older? Well we can't have a negative length of effect. The length of effect will be at least one day. The length of this will be determined by the moderators.
Darkness Vampires are a culmination of all factions. When approving your character, the moderators will randomly pic attributes and powers based on your bio.
