Phoenix, Arizona! Land of the Wilting Cactus! The sun, the sand, the lack of water, the... undead!
Truth be told, all sorts of so-called "mythological" beings exist (or used to exist - you won't find dragons anymore!) and many of them live alongside human beings, blissfully unaware of the horrible creature that they might work with... go to school with... room with - heck, you could be having sex with one of them! If you knew about that the whole time, you're sick - and you probably know that, too.
One race in particular - the Undead. While many are feared and despised, a good deal of them are becoming romanticized in recent television and novelization... Damn vampires. The rest of us should have it so lucky! You know at least one 'type' of undead... zombies, poltergeists, mummies... even those nasty, nasty vampires are technically undead. Well, as I said before - they exist. I should know - I'm one of them, and I know a few more.
We have to keep our identity as undead secret from the humans, though. We've seen those movies, too - humans mowing down tons of undead and becoming victorious in the end. Sad to say, it won't happen that way if we try it... there are way more humans than there are us, and even with our power... well, the term 'massacre' comes to mind. I don't care if you have a zombie friend who can chew through walls, he won't last a shotgun blast to the face... and vampires may claim immunity to nigh-everything, but I'll bet what's left of my right leg that a tank would cut one down - easy.
Of course, part of that is having and maintaining a job, relations with humans... cover stories, stuff like that. One or two missteps can be overlooked - no one really takes the nutjobs screaming about 'undead among us' seriously. If all else fails and you -have- to feed, try and pin it on something that doesn't exist. Like aliens... heh, the alien getup always makes me laugh. Pretty much foolproof, too.
Oh, right! I almost forgot. My name's Sibuna Laer - I run a pretty cheap apartment building for folks like you - the Risen Phoenix. Good name, huh? Come by and see it some time...
(Yup - a modern game set in Phoenix, Arizona... the twist? All of you are Undead or Human. While some secrets should be kept, some humans can be trusted with the secret... or find out on their own, to their shock and dismay! After all, you were all human, once. While other 'supernatural' races exist, the spotlight's on Undead in here. You can get permission from me to play a non-undead/non-human race, but I would enjoy mostly undead or human!)
