Book - Docks of Midnight

Sep 30, 2008 13:15

I've been working on a vampire novel for awhile based off of characters from various games I've played in and people I've played with. I'm still fine tuning some it but I have a prelude and some chapters done. If you are interested in letting me use your pc for the story please let me know. I would love to have more kindred involved in this.

Prelude:

Vampires are real. They live in the modern day as ordinary people at night trying to control the city through art, music, parties, business, finance, street gangs, and politicians. In this world, there are thirteen clans of vampires. Most of which want to get along with humans and pull the strings on government, businesses and jobs. They live under a set of rules that preserve the masquerade. If the masquerade were to be broken, humans would find out about vampires and it would be a persecution. To prevent this, elders of the vampire clans created a system to keep themselves and their kind safe. Just like our own society, vampires have a hierchy that they follow. Each clan has a representative on a council known as The Primogen Council. These individuals, commonly elders of each clan, will bring their clan’s problems and ideas to The Prince. The Prince is elected by the Primogen council as a figure head. Someone to lead them in a time or war, or a time of peace. The Prince of each city brings with them body guards and close allies that help enforce law within vampire society. Each clan of vampire is different and special. Some are simply fighters, with the ability to hit harder, run faster, and ignore wounds and injuries. Others are more graceful, making people like them with a simple glance, controlling minds, or reading people’s minds. And others still have the ability to drive the sanest person insane, use magic to change the outcome of a card game, speak with the dead, and manipulate shadows to do their will. Not all vampires agree with this idea of peace. And this brings about the times of war. The time when all vampires will need to stand united against an evil so great, it will consume cities like a dragon eating a glittering gem. And this all begins with a Vampire named Darion. Darion is the true blood childe of the Venture Primogen. Nobility and status gives him the edge to be a great political figure head, but he will have to make a choice. Doing what is expected of him? Or following a whim that could be the savior of the city.
