Type of Organisation:Corporation
Organisation Name: Scarlet Industries
How old is organisation?: 462 years old
Logo / symbol:Image
Basis of operation / headquarters: Pădurea Morților, The Crimson Tower.
Ideology of Organisation: Profit, power, and Vampiric philanthropic causes.

Brief background: For a long millennium, Vampires rained supreme as a race. In their palaces they reigned terror upon the local populace, whether it be human, dwarf, or goblin. Through the years their power was chipped away as the more human-like races banded together, as well as the war between the werewolf tribes.The Malone family was one of the few vampire families that remained in rare aristocratic power due to the fact that they owned many of the blood dens around Agenor. The family lived lavishly but was threatened by imperial reforms that prevented to consumption of sentient beings. Animosity grew along with these pieces of legislation and vampiric separatist groups began to form all over the empire, wanting to return to the old ways.

Although sympathetic to the separatist causes, the Malone family garnered a lot of their influence through the imperial system. Not wanting to lose their position within the empire and understanding that the world was modernizing, the Malone family put much of their money into R&D of a new alternative for a vampiric food source. Several years into their pursuit, they stumbled upon something amazing! They were able to create a synthetic blood source, Bloodphenethylamine, otherwise branded as Bloodhype. The family also re-branded themselves into Scarlet Industries and began flooded the market with their new source of synthetic blood. Soon every corner store sold cans of Bloodhype, it became a common household name for vampires. New flavors and blood types became a thing of the future, soon the Malone's became one of the richest families in Agenor.

Soon Scarlet Industries expanded into the pharmaceutical industry itself. Massive amounts of agenos were sunk into R&D of new drugs, such as Limbaway which slowed rotting of the undead. Scarlet Industries dominated the pharmaceutical market and the Malone's reached celebratory-status. Although some are wary of the Malone family and there are whispers that they fund vampiric separatist groups, the remain all-powerful, their CEO has been rumored to be planning on running for either senate or even emperor status.


Character Name: Isaac Malone
Age: 345 years old
Being type: Vampire
Appearance: Image
Place of birth: Pădurea Morților
Current location: Pădurea Morților, The Crimson Tower.
Cause: Power, prestige, & wealth. Isaac is one of the most ambitious men you will ever meet, reaching for the stars. His family name means everything to him.
Profession: CEO of Scarlet Industries
Skills: Isaac is not a man to be messed with; he is quick, intelligent, and cunning. Although like most vampires he is extremely strong, he prefers to use his intellect to win his battles. He is a charismatic man, often being able to sway with his silver tongue, which has allowed his company to reap bountiful diplomatic ties. One trait that can be considered both a skill and a flaw is his ruthlessness, he will destroy anyone who stands in his way.
Flaws: Isaac is overly-ambitious and selfish. His world is driven in the pursuit of material goods and name-recognition, this has pushed him to become a very paranoid man, trusting near no one. Although highly intelligent, he often makes rash decisions because of his impatience. Unlike other families he didn't pursue much training in the martial arts, leaving him to employ many bodyguards to protect him. Isaac is also prone to outbursts when things do not go his way, coming from the spoiled way he was raised. Finally, Isaac has a addiction to pure human blood, he often indulges in secret, the kidnapping and feasting upon vagrants he lures into his chambers and rumored ties to radical vampiric separatist groups.

Brief background: The first born son of Carnegie Malone, the founder of Scarlet Industries and the man who rebuilt the Malone family from a small and weak vampire clan to the powerhouse it is today. He was raised in the lap of luxury, being the first-born son he was given anything he ever wanted. Although being spoiled, his father was extremely hard on him. Carnegie was raising him to be the perfect steward, diplomat, and businessman, not accepting anything but perfect. Beatings were common if Isaac was found to under perform in any aspects of his life. He was enrolled in the finest academic institutions, one could afford. He excelled in school, both in the academic and social aspects.

As he reached adulthood he established himself as a born leader. Around thirty years old, Isaac was put as the head of the public relations department of Scarlet Industries. He proved to be skilled diplomat, pinning the company to the public as a benevolent benefactor to the public good. What he could not acomplish by using his silver-tongue he would employ the skills of underground professions such as hit men to silence those who opposed the company. Isaac would often "personally" meet with over curious journalist who would often go missing.

Carnegie Malone met a timely demise, he was murdered in cold blood by an unknown assailant and Scarlet Industries went into chaos. Isaac was the rightful heir to the families fortune and ownership of the company yet many didn't see him as competent. Cousins, uncles, board members, and investors all struggled in a conflict to retain control over the company. It eventually to led to actual blood being spilled in the streets in some sort of pseudo-corporate warfare that was conducted in a covert fashion. Isaac came out on top, through the employment of mercenaries and assassins he was able to get rid of all those who opposed him. He bent his own family as well as the corporate bureaucracy to their knees, purging those who weren't loyal. He kept a very small inner circle, installing them as his primary board members. Years later he continually runs the company efficiently, pushing for new medicine to be developed everyday. There is no room for failure in Scarlet Industries, even at the lowest levels of management, Isaac pushes to build the largest corporate empire the world has ever seen. He is now eyeing other pursuits including expanding his company into other sectors of the economy and running for political office. Nothing will quench his thirst for power & money.


Type of Organisation: Organized Crime - Terrorist Organization - Political Party
Organisation Name: The Pale Legion
How old is organisation?: thirty-six years ago
Logo / symbol: Image
Basis of operation / headquarters: Republic of Victorum
Ideology of Organisation: Human supremacy; the Pale Legion was formed to "protect" humans and their values. They believe that humans are the most pure and superior race and that a war is being waged on mankind. The Legion pushes for the radical sect of Yeshuism, called "The Covenant of the Purifying Fire", believing that other races and magic were to blame for the death of Yeshua and that only humans can make it into paradise. They insist that a purge is needed, that humanity needs to remain pure, and that inbreeding & magic will lead to the downfall of humanity just as it killed Yeshua. The Legion also retains the values of democracy, capitalism, and family values believing that those are inherently that basis of human culture.

Brief background: Human supremacy was also a thing but often came and died in waves. Originally formed by a disgruntled group of farmers located in the Republic of Victorum who believed that a group was needed to protect humanity. The group created their own fraternal order with hoods included. Their ideals began to spread like wildfire as they preached human supremacy, xenophobia, keeping the bloodline pure, and that the other races threatened humanity. The group of small farmers grew into an intricate network of hundreds; local politicians, law enforcement, lawyers, business owners, etc. Two years after their formation as a peaceful "party" that would represent humans, they had also become a paramilitary organization, even setting up military rank within the wing of the party. They made national news as when strung up a Elf male who had married a human female, the local sheriff did nothing but watch.

They only grew from then on and nearly all of human hate crime could be traced back to the Legion. They struck fear into the races of Agenor as in the central provinces they were pretty much able to walk around freely spreading their hatred. Soon the upper management of the Legion turned to illegal arms dealing, racketeering, and extortion to fund their endeavors. They now split the title between a party, a criminal organization, and a terrorist organization with numbers in the thousands. If you aren't human and see their tan outfits and logo, run.


Character Name: Carver Neil
Age: 52
Being type: Human
Appearance: Image
Place of birth: A farming village called Astrosia outside of the capitol city of Victorum
Current location: Splits between Astrosia and the Legion Office in the capitol city of Victorum
Cause (what they are driven by): Pursuing the Legion ideals including human supremacy and protect human culture
Profession: Grand Master of The Pale Legion/Local Sheriff of Astrosia
Skills: Carver is a large man with brute strength, being raised in a farming community and often lifting large objects. He is a great shot, once again growing up in a rural community, shooting was a must. Although not innately charismatic, through his work as a sheriff and becoming the grand master of The Pale Legion, he has learned to speak passionately and fire up his subjects.
Flaws: Carver isn't very bright, he is a farm boy none the less with no formalized schooling. He is blinded by his hatred for other races, he would do anything to exterminate those who aren't human. Carver is getting old, although still has his brutish strength, his stamina has worn down. Carver also isn't the most physically appealing man.

Brief background: Born into an impoverished family on the outskirts of Victorum. His community of Astrosia had hit hard times as a drought killed their crops. There was animosity towards an Elvish community across the river whose crops thrived, his father often berated the Elves, blaming them and their magic for the failures of the community. As a child, Carver was a gentle giant, a very sweet child but this changed quickly.

After the drought hit its third year, the farmers of Astrosia grew furious. Carver's father organized a group to ride to the rival Elvish community and confront them. Riling his fellow farmers up, fifteen men rode out. Carver waited everyday for his father to return but for days he was met with silence. One week later the community was devastated, apparently the fifteen men had confronted the elves and in the confrontation weapons were pulled, the local elvish militia defended their community and all fifteen men were killed. All evidence points towards the farmers being the aggressors, yet the people of Astrosia didn't believe this, believing the elves had murdered their men in cold blood. Carver's hatred really began here, all his father's racism now flooded Carver's brain.

One of the other sons who lost their father organized a village meeting. This began the era of the Pale Legion who were formed out of this meeting. Carver became the left-hand man to the Grand master over the years, although he became a man of law, he was sadistic and enjoyed killing. Carver was the one who initiated the formation of a military-wing of the Pale Legion and led the first riding party which hung the elvish man. At age thirty-eight the Grand Master passed away, leaving Carver was the sole inheritor of Grandmastership. He led the organization into a new era of violence. His predecessor often pushed for legislative reform and a voice within senate and the assembly. Carver believed that the imperial government was corrupt and controlled by the beast-races. Not only did he push for terrorist activities, to fund the Legion and his own campaign for sheriff, he turned to having members sell illegal weapons, drugs, boot-legged alcohol, and to extort local bushiness. Carver will stop at nothing to have pure human dominance.

Also, what is the primary religion for humans in the region? I’d assume the Pale Legion would protect those values too seeing as if it was different than what other races worshipped.

Work in Progress

Type of Organisation: Activist Group
Organisation Name: Egalitarian Front
How old is organisation?: About 40 years old in its current form.
Logo / symbol (image and / or description):
Basis of operation / headquarters: It's largest presence is in Urbis Forum, and this is effectively its headquarters.
Ideology of Organisation: Equal rights for all species, nonviolence, workers' rights, an end to harmful stereotypes
Brief background: A loosely organized group of activists that serves to counter the influence of groups such as The Pale Legion, the Egalitarian Front formed from several smaller activist groups and labor unions in Urbis Forum several decades ago, and now has at least some presence throughout the nation. The EF often stages large protests against governmental actions that threaten one species or the other, and has in the past caused some once powerful figures to fall after unveiling their corrupt/illegal dealings.

It's hard to recognize a member of the EF just by looking at them, though if you inquire about it they will be quite open about it; there is little secrecy involved, and their town hall meetings are open to anyone. When discretion is needed, members recognize each other with a special phrase or gesture. The movement is avowedly nonviolent, but respects the right to own weapons for self defense and will actively defend people targeted by The Pale Legion and other hate groups.

The EF has expressed its support for candidates for emperor and other positions in the past, but is not a proper political party and has never run a candidate of its own. Perhaps that will change.

Unofficial mottoes of the organization include "Truth to power!" and "Make yourself heard!"

Character Name: Jimmy Dauntless (his proper first name is James, but nobody calls him that)
Age: 24
Being type (e.g. Human, Goblin): Vampire
Appearance (image and / or description): Tall and somewhat thin, with pale skin, black hair, and fiery red eyes.
Place of birth: Pădurea Morților
Current location: He moves around a lot, but at the start of the RP he'll be in Urbis Forum.
Cause (what they are driven by):
Profession: Activist
Skills:
Flaws:
Brief background: James "Jimmy" Dauntless is the adopted son of a wealthy vampire couple in Pădurea Morților, who found him abandoned and were unable to locate his parents. They turned him into a vampire at a young age, not wanting to have to live to see their only child die of old age. The small town that the Dauntless family lived near had a larger human population than most settlements in the region, and also had a large Pale Legion presence. As a result, Jimmy often saw violence committed against other people, even his own friends. His own family, known for involvement in local politics, received death threats, leading them to send Jimmy to live with his grandfather in Urbis Forum when he was 12. Things eventually calmed down in his hometown, but he elected to stay in the capital. He attended high school there, and saw more of the hardship that the poorer citizens of the city had to endure. Before graduating he became a vocal member of the Egalitarian Front, and within a few years he had gained a reputation as a charismatic speaker for the cause. By age 22 he had become a sort of leader, uniting a previously quite unorganized movement. Jimmy's parents have privately expressed support for him, but mostly stay uninvolved with his activities. (more to come probably)

The United Settlements of Sitka - the land of friendly vampires, camaraderie, and cloudberry pie
A small corner of the world in 1872. Set in the world of the video game 80 Days, with supernatural beings mixed in. Several factbooks need to be redone.
I'm socially awkward sometimes, and bad at keeping up with things due to life's hecticness, so I might not always be the best at roleplays etc.
The Times: Englishman Phileas Fogg departs London, having bet £20,000 that he can circumnavigate the globe in 80 days.
Local News: Karl Marx visits Sitka, is "impressed".

Average Lifespan: 30 - 200 years
Average Height: 1.8 meters (male) 1.7 meters (female)
Commonly found: Mostly in poorer urban areas of Urbis Forum and other major cities, in primarily Orcish immigrant communities.
Stereotypical skills: Unmatched in raw fighting power, muscular, and deceptively good at working together, suited for high risk work in factories and the military
Stereotypical flaws: Brutish, violent, dirty, backward, overly traditional, tribal, and often looked down on as "simple" and "Inherently violent"
Other notes: Disproportionally poor and involved in gangs, factory work, and the military. While Orcs can live to an exceptionally old age, their diet and culture is more suited for open plains or mountain living than it is for modern life, leading a disproportionate number of Orcs to develop high blood pressure and diabetes and die early. Also, despite deep-seated racial tensions, Orcish tribalism and large, cohesive family structures bears remarkable similarities to Dwarven clans.


I considered adding orcs, but found it a bit difficult to find space for both them and goblins. I also don’t want to employ the old Tolkien idea of Orcs being tortured and transformed elves. I’m happy for orcs to exist, and I may just throw them in with goblins, but let us say that they are mostly the descendants of goblins and by now virtually extinct Ogres (which could help explain common features with goblins while being bigger and stronger than their goblin cousins).

I think this could indeed be interesting. Let us have Orcs then be the descendents of goblins and ogres, predominantly from the continent of Aṣû / Asu (Asia), and particularly from the northern tundra and forests of Sibur (Siberia - basically the majority of the land mass of Russia seperated from the western part of Russia with Moscow and other major cities) a dictatorship that was conquered by the Ghulian (Mongolian) hordes centuries ago and which has evolved into a human dominated military dictatorship since. Orc immigrants could include those Orcish tribes and kingdoms fleeing violence and discrimination in Sibur (as some work with the military dictatorship, while others oppose it).

There was animosity towards an Elvish community across the river whose crops thrived, his father often berated the Elves, blaming them and their magic for the failures of the community. As a child, Carver was a gentle giant, a very sweet child but this changed quickly.

After the drought hit its third year, the farmers of Astrosia grew furious. Carver's father organized a group to ride to the rival Elvish community and confront them. Riling his fellow farmers up, fifteen men rode out. Carver waited everyday for his father to return but for days he was met with silence. One week later the community was devastated, apparently the fifteen men had confronted the elves and in the confrontation weapons were pulled, the local elvish militia defended their community and all fifteen men were killed. All evidence points towards the farmers being the aggressors, yet the people of Astrosia didn't believe this, believing the elves had murdered their men in cold blood. Carver's hatred really began here, all his father's racism now flooded Carver's brain.

One of the other sons who lost their father organized a village meeting. This began the era of the Pale Legion who were formed out of this meeting. Carver became the left-hand man to the Grand master over the years, although he became a man of law, he was sadistic and enjoyed killing. Carver was the one who initiated the formation of a military-wing of the Pale Legion and led the first riding party which hung the elvish man. At age thirty-eight the Grand Master passed away, leaving Carver was the sole inheritor of Grandmastership. He led the organization into a new era of violence. His predecessor often pushed for legislative reform and a voice within senate and the assembly. Carver believed that the imperial government was corrupt and controlled by the beast-races. Not only did he push for terrorist activities, to fund the Legion and his own campaign for sheriff, he turned to having members sell illegal weapons, drugs, boot-legged alcohol, and to extort local bushiness. Carver will stop at nothing to have pure human dominance.


This mostly looks really good and interesting, my only concern is the story of Isaac Malone being the son of Carnegie and growing up. I think BettaMin’s idea of vampires choosing an individual from amongst the local population, raising them and funding their education and then transforming them when they reach an age they want them to appear as from then until their demise. I think that will be best to incorporate, with vampire heirs chosen for their talent. Aside from that it looks really good :)

It would be interesting to see Isaac Malone make a run to become a Senator or Governor.

I’m going to say the capital of Victorum is Victoria. It’s a good touch to have a human superemacist group based in Victorum, as I based Victorum off the idea of Italy and the remains of an old collapsed Roman Empire (except the Victori Empire in this case), which fell apart before the Agenorian Empire began its rise.

I’m still working on the religions, and input on that could be useful. I’m thinking it will be Yeshuism (based on Christianity). The religion was formed in Kainaan in western Aṣû / Asu by Yeshua during Victori Empire rule. Lets say that Yeshua initially promoted quite a radically progressive message that all races could get into a Paradise after death if they worshipped the monotheistic Almighty, lived humbly and followed a message of love and caring. This drew the ire of numerous local religious aulthorities, who previosuly held that there were separate gods and religions for different races. Yeshua would later be tried for heresy and burnt to death at the stake. The Holy Fire has since become the symbol of the faith. According to Yeshuists, the ash of Yeshua reformed after three days and spoke to his diciples, telling them to go and spread his message. According to them this ash figure then ascended into the sky.

After initially being persecuted, Yeshuism became adopted as the state religion of the Victori Empire as a way to unify the disparate races and groups under one faith. With this change the Victori Yeshuite Church emerged (basically Catholicism), which became a more formalized and established religion, more human dominated but still racially inclusive.

Let us say that a human supremacist branch of Yeshuism later emerged that blamed the Ratmen and Goblins in particular for the death of Yeshua, but also blaming other religions from the time. Let us say the Humans of Yeshua religious sect emerged as this sect that used the fact that Yeshua was human as reason that only humans could get into paradise, and viewed all other races as inferior. The “Purifying Fire” could have become a symbol of this sect.

Is there no so such thing as a pure blood vampire, who matures up the human age of around thirty and slowly degrades after that unless enough blood is consumed? Maybe the birthing of a vampire is a VERY rare occurrence that can only happen with use of some sort of blood magic, possibly only one born vampire every decade or so. I'd prefer to be a pure blood but If not I can just change his background to include being a local child stripped away from his family to become sort of an adopted son of Carnegie, taking his surname! And the Pale legion will burn the heathens with the holy fire!

Okay, let's put these ideas forward, for consideration.

Race Name: Siren.
Average Lifespan: fifty-four to sixty-six years.
Vital Statistics: Height of 1.2m, Mass of 14kg, Wingspan of 3.1m.
Rare, infrequently found: Confederacy of Pholoe.
Stereotypical skills: Flesh-Rending, Flight and Singing.
Stereotypical flaws: Prone to extreme, suicidal depression and despair if not they cannot gorge themselves after an hour's worth of singing.
Other notes: Largely a human-child-sized (14 kg, 1.2m tall) avian raptor (wingspan 3.1m) with the head resembling the head of a female human, capable of singing in such a manner to induce extreme emotion (classically desire/longing/lust) in those that hear it's song.

AND

NAME: Omorfi Foni.
APPEARANCE: Image
AGE: 23
BEING TYPE: Siren.
BIRTHPLACE: Confederacy of Pholoe.
CURRENT LOCATION: On Tour.
CAUSE: Pan-Sentient Equality Under Law.
PROFESSION: Lead Singer for the Rock & Roll Band, “Exallos".
SKILLS: Flesh-Rending, Flight, Motivational Speaking, Poetry and Singing.
FLAWS: Some vanity. Becomes ravenously hungry after an hour of singing. Prone to extreme/suicidal depression if unable to gorge after singing for an hour.
BRIEF BACKGROUND:
Omorfi Foni attended Pholoe Academy for the Arts, where she excelled not only in Singing, but Poetry as well. She was training in the Bella Canto style of song in her sophomore year when she was persuaded by a classmate to attend a rock and roll concert, featuring the band, “Tartarus”. Something clicked as she experienced that band’s anger and the artistry. Every waking minute not spent studying was devoted to finding her own way of expressing herself through Rock music.
Together with a Centaur (electric bass guitar), a Minotaur (drums and percussion) and a Satyr (electric guitar), she formed her own rock band, “Exhallos”. The band has been together for seven years and manages to stay financially afloat with the help of a decent cult following, but the breakthrough to superstardom has eluded them, so far.
Omorfi became a believer in equal rights when the police picked up one of her goblin fans who she knew was at a club she was playing during the time that the cops said he was robbing a jewelry store.

Character Name: Homer Kayjack
Age: 21
Being type: Human
Appearance: Image
Place of birth: Kingdom of Ignea
Current location: Forn
Cause: Supporter Pan-Sentient Unity Party.
Profession: University (Science) Student.
Skills: Intelligence, Electronic Device Design and Fabrication, Resurrection (currently 8 charges remaining). Soon to be taking an interest in Disguise, Firearms and Martial Arts.
Flaws: Cynophobia (mild, fear of dogs, wolves, werewolves), a little nerdy.
Brief background: Homer was just an ordinary technology student, working toward his Bachelor of Science Degree in electronics. He’d taken an elective in radio and was working at the university radio station. Then, he and his buddies got assigned to work the remote broadcast of the band, “Exhallos”, at The Silver Bullet bar.

His buddies paid him to take care of the entire broadcast, so they could try and score with the babes in the bar. Sure, Homer could handle it.

Damn! It was a freakin’ great show! The entire show was awesome, but the last song was magic! It filled him, filled the bar, with a dual sense of brotherhood and righteous empowerment!

When it was done, the singer, a siren named Omorfi, quickly flew away, somewhere upstairs. Then, about a minute later, the shooting started.

Carver Neil was spouting some kind of lie about a singer, saying he wanted to “lynch him”. But Omorfi was a female siren. And then, Homer denounced him to his face as a liar, on a live microphone, to everyone in the bar and everyone listening on the radio.

“Pray for me.” Homer remembered asking the radio audience before rising up, as he watched where Carver Neil was pointing his gun and hoping this nightmare was over….

Shortly after that, Homer met a talking cat who took him to meet with it's Mistress, a sorceress.

The sorceress had been listening to the radio broadcast and had been impressed by Homer. Her days were getting fewer and she wanted to help him with an extremely dangerous enchantment, a resurrection spell. There were a few drawbacks, like turning into a cat for his ninth life, and only “shooting blanks" regarding offspring ( but if the Pale Legion killed him now, then he still wouldn't be having kids).

Homer agreed.

Homer is not in a hurry to find out if the enchantment works, or not.

Sure, I’m happy to allow the very rare birthing of a so called pure vampire, created through complex blood magic.

Otherwise looks good, I’ll set about adding them soon :)

Looks good :), I especially like the band idea. Accepted to Sirens, I just need The character’s age. I’ll add them to the list shortly. I’m assuming she is 25 or slightly older, if she was inspired to become a singer in first year university and the band has been together for 7 years.

I was thinking a high school Academy of Arts, 2nd Year = sophomore, and maybe she is 23 at this time. Not a bad bit of reasoning on your part, though.

"I find that offensive" is never a sound counter argument.

The wealth of humanity should be determined by that of the poorest individual.

Strength enough to build a home
Time enough to hold a child
and Love enough to break a heart".
