--`,-(@) The Last Dance (@)-,`--
During some sleepless days, I can close my eyes and see them. Their grotesque, snarling faces curled back with hunger and insanity. The beast within them completely taken over, their humanity completely lost.
Red, Red dreams shaking...
Silence is the only answer to the dull roar which builds on the inside as time slowly ticks away the limited life of others. I am what I am and there is no changing that, being born into the Night is natural, for my kind. Misunderstood they are of us, but misunderstood we are of them.
A secret that nobody, nobody knows...
I want to believe that one day there can be this concept known as 'peace'. I want the days of death, destruction and hatred to be over... but even one in my position only has so much strength. I cannot make others believe nor will I refuse them to bend to my will... but perhaps with this school, everyone can eventually see...
Falling, falling, falling...
Just as I see her, on sleepless days.
~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~
"HEY! HEY! HEY!" The shrill of a whistle pierced into the air, as the prefect blew into it with all her might. A monstrous group of girls and a few boys were waiting outside a large school gate. Eagerly they whispered to each other, attempting to get closer to the gate as the anticipation continued to build. While they loosely listened to the Prefect, they were far more interested in getting their first and last glimpse of the day...
A click of the door and the gate creaked slowly as its massive doors were opened inward. Immediately the girls and guys lined up swiftly, one row on each side of the flat-stoned path. From those newly opened doors, walked the rarely seen Night Class.
"Helloooooo Ladies~" One of the males of the Night class waved as he walked by with a few other Night class students. The girls giggled and cooed in happiness, as the beautiful ones of the Night class walked towards the school.
"HEY HEY! It's past curfew! Stop gawking and go back to your dorms!" The Prefect yelled, slowly pushing the crowd. Giving a disappointed groan, the Day class watched as the Night class students disappeared down the path.
For it was one school of two different sections: Night and Day.
Night and Day
.... not intermixed, yet working to conjoin.
~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~(@)~
Welcome to Duskawn, a famous school for having two distinct student bodies: The Night Class and the Day Class. The campus itself has a large center campus, where classes are taken, food is served, a large banquet hall for special occassions and a few other buildings that most schools would have. The distinct difference is that the middle campus is surrounded by a large, thick stoned wall with two gates: A north gate and a south gate. The south gate is open during the day and from there leads to the Day Class dorms consisting of one male dorm and a female dorm. The north gate leads to the Moon Dorm, an extremely large and lavish dorm where the Night class students all stay. These gates are closed during their respective times, to keep each class from intermixing.
It is said that the Night Class is made up of elite students...
Alright, this RPG is based off the popular anime/manga series called, "Vampire Knight." It will have the same tone/genre as the anime as well, which delves into dark, romantic, mysterious, comedic and action tones. I highly recommend you watch one episode of the series or a chapter of the manga to get a feel for the mood of this RPG. The theme song is also provided in the text below the title.
The story of Vampire Knight and this RPG rotates around a school which has two distinct classes of Day and Night. The Day students are humans attend an prestigious Academy of sorts and are given access to many activities except they have a curfew of 7:00 PM to retreat to their dorms. Most however, tend to push that rule so that they may get a glimpse of the Night class.
The Night class is said to be an elite group of students, but in fact are actually Vampires. The vampires were recruited and applied to the school to take classes and to coexist with the humans. A select few Vampires are there to research ways in making it possible for vampires to live along humans peacefully. Others are there because they respect or follow another vampire who attends the Academy.
The Academy has a Chairman who lives on school grounds, who started the school with the goal of working with the Vampires to research ways to help them coexist with humans, while also allowing students to gain an education.
Of course... these are all outside goals. Not all is what it seems...
In this RPG, you will be playing the role of either a Night Class student or a Day Class student. If you wish for something else, please PM me and we will discuss it. I am open for suggestions although I do not want anything that will impede on the 'feel' of this RPG. There are many rules, boundaries and also exceptions in this world so please pay attention.
VAMPIRES (Night Class) (@)-,`-
----->
There are several things to know about Vampires in this world. First, it should be known that there are several types of Vampires.
+ Most Vampires are born Vampires and come from long family lines. These are the Nobles, which make up most of the Vampires in the world.
+ There is another type of Vampire, called a "Pureblood", which is a Vampire born into one of the direct ancestoral lineage of a primary clan. These are quite rare in this day and age.
+ If a pureblood vampire drinks from a human, their body will slowly either reject the vampire's bite and die or the body will slowly turn into a vampire. If this happens, the human will turn into a "Class E" vampire, which is feral and loses all sense of humanity and only strives to feed on other humans.
If a human who is turning into a "Class E" drinks the blood of a Pureblood, they will essentially become the same as a basic Noble vampire.
~ Keep in mind that age also plays an important role. Not all Nobles are created equal and family lines, age and power positions plays a role in how a vampire is treated by other vampires. It is very aristocratic and should be played as such.
---->
Another key note is that all Noble vampires generally have the power to erase certain memories of humans as well as being stronger, stealthier and faster than a human. Their aura is also very attractive to humans and often can use to 'suggest' things. Not all vampires are created equal, so there are varying degrees to a vampire's power. (For example: One vampire may have horrible strength in comparison to another, but perhaps is far more nimble than other Nobles.)
Noble vampires generally also have a unique power that is specific to them. These generally are elemental or physical- such as being able to use their own blood and form it into a whip or conjuring fire.
------->
IMPORTANT: Vampires do not have taboos like in typical lore, in this RPG. They can walk in the daylight, although they have to put on extra sun block if going out for a while and their eyes are generally more sensitive to light. They can eat normal human food and it tastes pleasurable to them, although they must drink blood or a blood substitute to sustain their hunger. Vampires breath and bleed although they live incredibly long lifespans.
!!! NIGHT CLASS !!!
In this RPG, as a Night class student, Vampires are forbidden to drink blood. They are all given pills which when dropped into a glass of water, turn the water red and give it nurishment and a similiar taste to blood. (It was created by the Chairman). However, while it sustains and works... it is not nearly as desirable as blood is. Blood is intoxicating to vampires and tastes delicious, and sometimes a vampire can get impulsive when next to a particularily appealing human whose heart is beating fast or perhaps a human the vampire has feelings for.
The Night class's head is the Moon Dorm representative, but there is a Vice President and various other positions.
Moon Dorm: A very luxurious mansion. There are large gardens in back with fountains and plenty of forest area. Inside there are large rooms for every vampire that they can design at their leisure. There are lounges, a few offices and such. Pretty much anything you want can be in the dorm.
--,`-(@) HUMANS (Day Class)
Humans at the Academy are those who have applied to attend to the school and were accepted based on individual circumstances. They attend school and have outside activities just as any normal Academy would. Most, if not all of the Day class, usually look forward to watching the Night class students walk to class and often students will try to sneak into the campus at night to take pictures or observe the Night class. Again, usually if not all the students of the Day class have a particular Night class student (or two, or three...etc...) that they admire or are particularly attracted to. Thus why there is always a mob outside the gate at 7:00.
There are events that happen yearly, such as Valentine's Day or the Moonlight Dance which are events that intermix both Night and Day students.
!!! DAY CLASS !!!
None of the humans know that the Night class are Vampires, but of course there can be exceptions. There are a few humans who have been inducted to be "Guardians". "Guardians" or "Prefects" as they are often called, are in charge of keeping the mob away from the Night Class student (to the best of their ability) and patrol inside the campus at night to make sure none of the Day class students are snooping about. They also handle problems that can arise... they're like the Student Council, but not organized in such a way for all the Guardians are equal. They report to the Chairman if any issues arise. The "Guardians", for whatever reason, either have already known the existence of Vampires or discovered this. They know the Night class is made up of Vampires and choose to serve as a "Guardian". They often have interactions with the Night class, due to their patroling and such. They do not have to like Vampires in order to be a Guardian.
SUMMARY OF SCHOOL RULES:
- Night class and Day class students must wear their respective uniforms. Night class wears white uniforms, while Day Class wears black uniforms.
- Night class students are not allowed to drink blood on campus.
- Day class students are not allowed to go on campus after 7:00.
- Day class students are not allowed to go into the Moon Dorm.
- Night class students are not allowed to go into the Day class dorms.
- Guardians are in charge of the Day class student body and report to the Chairman, often knowing the Chairman very well.
- Night class students report to the Moon Dorm head. He or She is in charge of making sure the vampires obey the rules and reports to the Chairman.
- Night class students can hold various other positions, such as heading the research department of blood pills and such or being in charge of outside Vampiric affairs. They report to Moon Dorm head.
- Guardians are allowed to use force against Vampires if they break the rules and are issued a weapon.

You can be as vague or detailed as you want in your sign-ups, as long as there is a reason and you have put effort into your form. If you have any questions, please PM me. I will be gone from the evening of the 16th - 20th, so a delayed reply may occur. Fill out the form as best you can and as completely as you can if your question pertains to the form.
I really encourage creating relationships and intermingling with your RPers. You may sign up as a Night class and a Day class character if you wish, so a total of 2 characters total. Please, try to keep a variety in the RPG. That means don't have 6 Guardians and 1 normal Day class student. Likewise, no overpowered Vampires and try to stay away from the idea of a vampire who is in complete control of their blood craving. NO vampire is in complete control 24/7. They can control their actions, but the craving still exists. (I am mentioning this based on previous experience with various Vampiric RPGs... ^_^;; So just so yah know!)
I really want everyone who joins to have fun! I will put a discussion topic in the lounge and try to be on AIM/MSN often so people can discuss ideas and plot/twists to the RPGs. If you have any particular large (or minor) plot twist you are going to carry out or would like to see carried out, PM me first so I can help. I will be working hard to make this a successful and ongoing RPG. With that said, if you are gone without post for 7 - 10 days without notification, your character is subject to termination or may be played NPC-wise by others and WILL be used as plot device at my digression. This rule is in place to prevent a dead RPG.
One last thing... this RPG is MATURE. Violence, sexual themes and the like will be included, given that this is a darker RPG despite its light-hearted overtones.
Again, have fun and PM me with any questions/comments. My AIM is mentepazza and my msn is flamepaw@yahoo.com . I highly suggest checking out "Vampire Knight" as well. I also am noting that this will, in all likelihood, be my last RPG here at TPM.
SIGN-UPS WILL CLOSE JULY 26th OR SOONER
Name: Yuar Orowind
Gender: Male
Appearance: Yuar is quite tall, being about 6'4 with a strong, elegantly structured build. His broad shoulders always pushed back into a straight, trained posture while remaining graceful in his walk. His skin is a silken pale, contrasting vividly against his crimson auburn hair. His hair whisps softly in over his face, a few longer strands dashing over his eyes while longer tendrils of soft hairstrands frame his face and flow in front of his ears. The rest of his hair is medium-short, looking rather fluffy in a refined sort of way. (A picture will be uploaded later, for I tend to make complicated hairstyles). His eyes are an emerald green, flecks of several tones glittering about each iris, enhanced by his hair color. His chin and prominent cheekbones are slightly feminine, giving him a softer look but his strong jawline provides a masculine touch.
Personality: Yuar Orowind has an inner calm which is rarely disturbed and he usually is seen with a relaxed smile upon his face. He is elegant with words and usually silken-tongued with guests or things of interest. However, if angered or if someone steps out of line or irks him greatly... he is quite fierce and quick to react. Generally viewed as a kind person, he watches out for others even if he keeps to himself and rarely tells anyone what he truly is thinking or planning.
Position: Moon Dorm Head
History: Yuar Orowind is a Pureblood of the Orowind clan, and is the last surviving pure heir of the clan. As a young child he went through the Wars of Black- wars a few hundred years ago that gave rose to a huge conflict between Vampires and Humans. Later his clan came into conflict with the Dyvine clan, in which both pureblood clans attacked both each other and themselves for power. Throughout this time, Yuar traveled a great deal to study underneath his Grandfather, who raised him to become a true Noble Pureblood Vampire. In doing so, Yuar came to learn the truth being Class E Vampires and it fed his distaste for the creatures. Fifty years ago there was the rise of the Vampire Hunter, and with that the power of all Vampiric clans suffered. Orowind, being a prominent clan, was one of the clans to suffer the worst. While they were not wiped out as some clans, it left Yuar and his Grandfather as the last surviving purebloods within the clan. Twenty five years later, Yuar's grandfather perished. Eleven years ago, Yuar met the Chairman of Duskawn before it was founded and the two struck a common chord. When the Chairman approached Yuar Orowind with his idea for Duskawn, Yuar agreed to attend the Academy so that other Vampires would follow, seeing a Pureblood join the ranks and those that followed him. (The rest of his life and gaps in between are vague, to help keep him a bit of a mystery and to leave space to fill in gaps for relationships!)
Relationships: [ This will be edited as people join and wish to create relationships and such. ]
Powers: His powers seem slightly elevated, but no specific power has been shown other than his anger occasionally cracks glass.
Other:
Name: Kyvara Osagura
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Kyvara stands at the average height of 5'7" with a slim yet delicate figure. Her skin is lightly tanned from her days of swimming in the school's swimming pool and she's rarely seen without her swim bag at her side, although her swimming merely involves playing around in the water than actual swimming. Her hair is long and heavily layered, the longest layers reaching down slightly above her bust. Most of her layers frame her face, getting shorter towards the top of her head with only a few side bangs along her forehead. Her hair is mahogany brown with several intermixed hues of golden and 'dirty blonde' highlights from her days outside in the sun. Her eyes are an ocean blue, having a darker blue circlet around the generally lighter blue colors.
Specific Area of Study: Undecided
Personality: Kyvara's personality is a blend of outspoken and quiet. She generally keeps to herself around large social groups, rather liking to blend in than to stand out. With a few friends though, she will converse as a normal person would although her tone is soft. Kyvara dislikes loud noises and will often jump at the sound of a startling noise. She usually daydreams a lot and has troubles concentrating in class and is not a very good student.
Position: Kyvara doesn't work or hold a position on campus. Outside of class, she usually wanders about the campus gardens, the pool or the library.
History: Kyvara was born to a single mother who did not have family ties nor a whole lot of money. Still, her mother worked hard to raise Kyvara. When Kyvara was 7, she was kicked out of school due to the fact that she did not pay attention and suffered horrible grades. Her mother then decided to home school Kyvara between work-shifts. Eventually Kyvara began working in her mother's bakery shop, but had a weakened body and often was quite sick or hurt herself due to clumsiness. Eventually Kyvara's mother met with the Chairman and begged him to let Kyvara enter the Academy to learn proper schooling, and with compassion the Chairman accepted Kyvara in.
Relationships: [ Will be edited as people join and what-not.]
Other: Kyvara tends to still be slightly sickly and accident-prone.
