This is the city of Slater Haven, a sprawling crime ridden and brooding metropolis of about six million inhabitants. The most interesting and disturbing fact about Slater Haven is not the city's crime, politics or drugs, it's who in fact lives here. Slater Haven has the highest concentration of vampires in the continental United States. The blood sucking night walkers are everywhere from the city's top ranking politicians to the vagrants begging on the streets. The vampire population is more or less an open secret that is just barely hidden from the rest of Humanity. The two main vampire Houses that control Slater Haven are the Stri'Goi House and the Feratu House which have been at odds for centuries. However now tensions are at an all time high and the two powerful vampire covens are on the brink of all out war. However in the midst of this, there seems to be a more immediate problem. A sadistic serial killer is roaming the streets of Slater Haven and he/she seems to be targeting vampires in brutal fashion. The killer employs all the traditional vampire hunting and killing methods of ancient and contemporary tradition. Their calling card is leaving a "Welcome to Slater Haven" sign post replacing Slater with Slayer. As such the various media and newspapers began to dub the city "Slayer Haven". This seems to be only the tip of the iceberg as various agencies suspect that there is more than one killer, possibly the start of a new and dangerous faction of Human Vampire Slayers now occupying the city. With war just on the horizon between the two main vampire Houses and a dangerous new threat of a contingent of vampire hunters on the loose, Slater Haven has become a volatile powder keg of chaos, murder and conspiracy.
****So this RP will be a somewhat unique take on the vampire genre. The vampires of this universe share a number of tropes with traditional vampire lore, such as drinking blood, weaknesses to garlic, silver and sunlight. However this latter weakness is subjective to different individuals as some vampires have taken a different evolutionary path and do have limited tolerance to sunlight. These vampires are a pure biological species and have no mystical or supernatural qualities. They are simply a more evolved offshoot of the Human Family, like Neanderthals and Homo Erectus. Vampires also operate within dynastic covens known as Houses, however there are many vampires who swear no allegiance to any particular House and operate as free agents of sorts. Also not all vampires are created equal. There are two main divisions of vampire...The First Bloods and the Turned. The First Bloods are natural vampires and were born as such. They are generally stronger, faster and more agile than their Turned counterparts. The Turned however are normal Humans(refereed to as Sapiens) which were bitten and trans mutated into vampires. They are above Sapiens but are treated with prejudice by the First Bloods and are seen more or less as second class citizens.
