The In Character Thread
It is June of the year 1837, Queen Victoria has just been crowned, and the majority of London's streets are over run with merchants selling their patriotic wares. The day has been filled with laughter and joy thus far, but there are still those who fight to survive. Millers, chimney sweepers, miracle street doctors and performers, all struggle against the battles of 19th century economy.
However, there are those in power buying more property. Over-running buildings which once served as homes for the less fortunate. They had been ran out, and forced onto the cobble streets of the city. Men with servant boys walking after them attended the brothels and gambled on the pit fights. Sometimes even sending their young squires into a fist fight!
Beneath all of this, lays a darkness that is merely rumoured as myth, and story. Beings of the night which consume the lives of the living through absorbing their souls, leaving them as empty vessels open for possession. These beings are known as 'body jumpers', and have been recognised in all kinds of folk lore, even as Vampires as the story has altered over the years. They were immortal, true, but their face would change on how they saw fit, and no blood consuming would occur. They have never been known to reveal their natural form, and are hidden from modern day society. There are those who hunt them, but these, too, are unheard of.
When a body is open for possession, it is usually clueless of its entire being and life. People put this down to a disease that has been deemed, "alzheimer's" and "dementia".
Behind the scenes of the modern world, the hunters are trying to find the body-jumpers before they can escape from their vessels, and destroy them. The body-jumpers are also attempting to fight back, by slaughtering the hunters. It's a fight for survival whilst mundane matters are occuring around.

OOC Info:
- Atleast 2 paragraphs, between intermediate and advanced roleplayers, all skill levels are welcome, but be aware more of the writers interested in this role-play are adept.
- Feel free to make as many human characters as you so wish. However, only one Hunter OR Body-jumper per person. (Choose a side, basically.)
- If RP'ing a Body-jumper, please understand if your shell is harmed from anything as small as a papercut. You must change bodies immediately, at this stage, you are vulnerable.
- If romance happens, awesome, however... Take the sexies to the Libertine/Liberteen sections, or PM.
- Have fun!
