"How the virus came to be? I have no idea. All I'm sure is that it became hell on earth rather quick. The entire world couldn't bear with the idea of the existence of people who had fangs and would suck your blood to quench some sort of hunger. I was still in high school when the whole thing started, some of the people I knew actually became infected. It was like HIV... everyone was afraid of who had it, and those that did couldn't resist the urge to attack. A few years later I signed up in the Army and then found myself in one of the hundreds of "Relocation Centers" I was supposed to lend a hand to them, make them feel like Americans again. But then it all went to hell again, now its almost like a prison. I'm afraid everyday, its almost like if I'm stepping into another country."

Premise

8 years have passed since the beginning of the HVV-2 outbreak in 2019, others know it as the vampire pandemic, or even the end of times. Regardless, after years of social conflict, political tension and uncertainty, the fear of vampirism has never been as high as it is now. Suspicion of another all out rebellion are in the midst of both the humans and the vampires as a fragile peace and tranquility becomes ever so more fragile. What side will prevail in this looming war between two species? With another uprise becoming more and more of a danger, what side will people take? Where will their loyalties lie on? What values will die and what ideologies will rise? It’s up to you to decide.


This is a Character based RP with some Faction elements added in. Its focused on the L.A. Containment Zone where the spirit of revolt grows everyday. Depending on what faction you choose, you will have to follow a set of objectives in order to assure your side a victory and therefore affect the overall endgame of the RP which culminates in an inevitable revolt of the vampires, the scale and success of this revolt will depend on the player's actions. Several world events will occur through the RP at random, how these events affect your character and his faction and to what degree will vary and your character must react to it accordingly. Depending on who completes their objectives first, it will also affect the faction they are directly in conflict with, which will sum up to the endgame. In the end, depending on the objectives each side completes it will sum up to how it affects the end of the RP and how the world will be shaped because of it.

US Military: The backbone of the entire US government reaction to the HVV-2. The military constitutes of several branches that span a large variety of task across both the world and the United States as a whole. The National Guard has been federalized in the states with the most Containment Zones and the Army has taken over basic security functionalities of these zones, providing security, and support to all other agencies and organizations that are involved in combatting HVV-2. The Air Force has taken a much more offensive approach, having firebombed several areas of different rebellious Containment Zones during the Uprisings of 25, it also has taken the fight elsewhere in other countries and regions to help fight off the disease, especially Ferals in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The Navy has effectively sealed the country and along the coast guard monitors for any smuggling and makes sure no vessels make it to US ports without due inspection of infection. Several assets of the Special Forces of all branches have also been deployed both at home and abroad to conduct special operation against vampirism.
Objectives:
1. Cleanup Operation in the Los Angeles Containment Zone (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Provide Protection to the CDC Investigation Teams in the Containment Zone (Status: Uncompleted)
3. Delta Team Bravo Seven Assignment (Status: Uncompleted)

FBI: The investigative branch of the government. The FBI has its own division regarding crimes and cases involving vampirism, they constantly monitor containment zones for any insurrectionist or dangerous activities. For years they had done this even before the Uprisings, with them now acting on daily basis to make sure all future terrorist attacks or murders on uninfected are foiled. They work hand in hand with the DVDM and are provided much support by the Military.
Objectives:
1. Investigate About the Recent Escape Attempts and Discovered Tunnels in Los Angeles CZ (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Investigate Sanguis Unionis Activities along with Total Eclipse (Status: Uncompleted)

UN: The UN though having taken a tough stance on HVV-2 at the beginning of the pandemic has gradually lost much support after its switch of platforms. Alongside the WHO they are constantly calling for nations to lessen the harsh treatment of HVV-2 infected individuals, most nations have decided to ignore the UN in these calls, though the US along some other western nations have allowed the UN to send in unarmed blue helmets and other humanitarian personnel to provide help for the infected population, and working on finding a cure alongside the CDC and WHO. Many UN personnel works on Containment Zones providing, food, medicine, and other services to the infected population despite them being generally unarmed and under high pressure from the US military command.
Objectives:
1. Provide Support in the Cleanup Operation of LACZ (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Provide Help to Local Humanitarian Efforts in LACZ (Status: Uncompleted)


CDC: The Center for Disease Control is the organization that came up with the only effective medication against HVV-2. Back when the outbreak started, anyone infected with HVV would progressively mutate and advance in their illness until becoming feral, some quicker than others. The CDC had to come up with a deterrent of the infection and fast, a mutagen was acquired and the medication known as “Vamp-deter” was made, with Dr. Vincent Lee receiving a Nobel Prize and several other awards for his breakthrough. The CDC works alongside the Military and sometimes with the UN and WHO to combat the disease and work on a vaccine in order to eradicate the infection. Though most efforts have failed, the possibility for a vaccine is possible according to Dr. Lee himself. Vamp-deter doesn’t full on stop the disease, it simply prevents further mutation if the person taking it is on either stages 1 to early stages 3, though results may vary. Anyone with the disease has to take the medication and the CDC has taken extreme measures to make sure that is the case. They still invest much time into research for a vaccine to HVV-1, using test subjects from questionable source, as well as having a station in each CZ and helping the military deal with infestations and other problems within the CZ.
Objectives:
1. Research for a Vaccine to HVV-2 (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Document Vampire Activity and Infection within LACZd During the Military Cleanup (Status: Uncompleted)

DVDM (Department of Vampire Detection and Management): The agency that is in charge of the Containment Zones and by extend involved in all activities, investigations, operations, etc. involving vampirism. Though an extension of FEMA at first, and acting more as a humanitarian relief effort, the DVDM quickly evolved into its own federal agency, with agents dispatched in various locations across the country and acting alongside the Military, the FBI and even the CIA to combat the virus. The department is the one that decides the measures of security, protocols, and ways to combat the disease and all terrorist organizations involving it, with the help of the NSA, the DHS, and the FBI. The Military has also become the DVDM’s backing force that makes sure all procedures are followed within the CZ’s and order is kept within them as well. At any means necessary.
Objectives:
1. Interrogate the two Attempted Escapees of LACZ (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Investigate Total Eclipse Activity in LACZ
3. Manage Containment Zone Vampire Affairs Regarding Education, Health, and other Basic Services (Status: Uncompleted)

VRA (Vampire Rights Association): Founded after the DVDM’s order of military jurisdiction in the back then known as Relocation Zones, the VRA really took footing after the 36th amendment was passed. With Victoria Melody having led the effort of several law suits against both state and federal governments, the VRA has focused all its efforts in providing a legal fight against the government’s harsh methods of containing the virus. After the arrest and conviction of Melody, the organization has been led by Jonathan Pierce, and has experienced a harsh blows from the federal government, as well as dwindling support from the population due to fear and uncertainty. Reports say that there may be some involvement between the VRA and the Total Eclipse, these accusations however are yet to be proven by the FBI.
Objectives:

Humanity for Life (HoL): One of the strongest human-only, anti-vampire, and ultra-nationalists organization that rose up following the outbreak. The organization, or more like of a paramilitary, composed of members from militias, former military and law enforcement who supported the idea of a more pro-active and violent stances on the vampires, as well as citizens from various life and class. Despite their goal of "protecting the humanity from the vampires", it's more likely that their actual goal is "protecting their humanity from vampires and humans who aid the vampires". They have their own political wing which calls for the introduction of internment camps unlike the World War 2-versions for the Japanese-Americans, the militarization of the Containment Zones, and calls for genocide, even though the last idea is unanimously rejected. The organization is well-equipped, well-led, and already involved in clashes with Total Eclipse (their own antithesis), Sanguinis Unionis, and various agencies.
Objectives:

Total Eclipse: One of the most infamous organization to appear from the outbreak. The Total Eclipse rose from a simple political movement led by vampires to a full blown armed militia. Led by several commanders, and spread across the US and parts of the western world, the Total Eclipse operates as an insurgency by the Vampire population, with several demands and goals. The Total Eclipse is believed to have a supreme leader of unknown identity, though the FBI has been working hard to crackdown on the organization it has become progressively difficult as the organization though once a numerous militia, since the Uprise of 25 has gone into hiding and operating within Containment Zones and the No Go Zones. Among their demands, is the repeal of the 36th amendment, the demilitarization of Containment Zones, and the allowance of the Vampire population to live among the rest of the population, one of their demands also calls for the disavowing of the DVDM. They are well armed, well equipped, led, and are in constant battle with the US military and the federal government as a whole. Due to the massive defeats back in the later days of the Uprise of 25, the Total Eclipse has been lowered to a shadow of its former self, with cells scattered across the country but most still operating under the Supreme Commander.
Objectives:
1. Incite Disobedience in the LACZ (Status: Uncompleted)
2. Recruit Enough Militiamen into the Ranks (Status: Uncompleted)
3. Build Weaponry and Spread Propaganda in the LACZ (Status: Uncompleted)

Sanguis Unionis:The most recent, and perhaps most mysterious organization yet. Having been discovered in 2025 by the FBI and then uncovered to the rest of the world in 2026 the Sanguis Unionis, or simply known as “The Union” is a large cult of individuals afflicted with HVV-2. Led by a mysterious figure known as the “Master of All” the cult is a supremacist group that allegedly aims to destabilize the world governments in order to create a perfect society of vampires that will rule the earth and bend it to their own will without the unpureness of humanity. Believing themselves as separate species from Humans, the Union constantly infects people and brainwashes them to their ideology, they are not known for using any firearms, rather the use of vampire abilities and somehow many of them having avoided going feral despite their infection going above 4 where feralness starts to show. They are highly secretive and is likely they have human spies on their side.
Objectives:

Detail of Virus:The Human Vampire Virus-2, this virus mutated form the original strain of vampirism which was much more harmless and rare. Nobody knows the origins of the mutation, although deliberate manipulation has not been ruled out. The virus can be contracted through contact with blood and saliva. Direct infection through bitim is one of the most common while scratches are not known to cause infection. The infection has affected people of all backgrounds of life, man and women, young and old, etc. As of 2025 the total world population has at least 10% of an infected population. The virus has created much fear from the general public and discrimination as well as prejudice has been widespread with reasoning of attacks that leave many dead rather than infected.

Stages of Virus: The virus has different stages which have varying degrees of mutation, however the pattern remains largely the same. The medication that prevents these mutation and symptoms cannot be taken by infected that are in advance stage 3, the body will violently reject the medication at that point.

• Stage 1: This early stage of the virus is one of the hardest to notice at first, as the effects appear slowly. However, once they do there is no way not to notice something is wrong.
  -Body experiences several aches and muscles start to splin.
  -Canines become larger
  -Eyes develop a thinly red iris
  -Early signs of paranoia and increasing compulsive tendencies. Sudden violent spurs
  -Individual’s appetite grows
• Stage 2:This stage is one that sees the most drastic changes. It's very noticeable for anyone to notice these symptoms and redflags of vampirism unless the individuals makes effort to hide them, as many have.
  -Blood develops a darker color and becomes thicker.
  -Body experiences several pains and abnormalities related to mutation.
  -Fangs begin to sharpen as molars also begin to grow in size.
  -Agility and body strength increases.
  -Eyes increase in their redness with a gleam in the dark.
  -Infected grows a craving for meats.
• Stage 3: This becomes the point of no return for anyone with HVV. The body rejects the Vamp-Deter when the stage starts mutating into stage 4. Anyone captured with this affliction without taking medication is quickly apprehended and sent to detainment.
  -Eyes become full on red.
  -Many teeth begin to sharpen randomly.
  -Nails also grow longer and sharper.
  -Heightened senses.
  -Aggressiveness and lack of social skills.
  -Craving of blood, animal or human.
  -Animalistic tendencies of varying degree.
  -Dark blood.
  -Development of healing factor.
• Stage 4:Anyone with this stage is considered dangerous by all federal agencies as well as the US military and considered beyond the point of detainment. Anyone with this stage is put down on sight.
  -Gradual loss of hair.
  -Paleness of skin.
  -Higher aggressiveness.
  -Set of sharpened teeth.
  -Razor sharp nails.
  -Keen senses.
  -Ears progressively sharpen.
  -Developing of UV light sensibility.
  -Mouth able to open wider, tongue becomes larger and longer.
• Stage 5:This is the stage where most afflicted with it become feral. There is no reasoning with them, no way to bring them back, they are no longer considered human and should be put down without hesitation. However, reports of vampires keeping their conscious and intelligence beyond this stage are common.
  -High sensitivity to UV light that burns the skin.
  -Ability to take stance of that of an animal and run at incredible speed.
  -Higher jumping abilities.
  -Animalistic behavior.
  -Veiny skin
  -Lack of rational thinking.
  -High aggressiveness.
• Stage 6: Nothing is known about this stage other that whoever has it has been able to surpass feralness and go beyond its abilities to an unknown potential. Its believed they are smarter and have the ability to camofalge as normal human beings or at least mimic stage 1 infection. In extreme dangerous level.

Vulnerabilities: Anyone afflicted with HVV has the same mortality as any human. Though between stages 3 to 5 the body develops a healing factor and high resistance to bullets. This has been countered by the US military by issuing many (though not all) of its firearms with specialized ammunition, rounds specifically designed to have an explosive punch to them which can help push back a vampire and even kill them at stages 3 to 4. In stage 5, the only known way to effectively kill a feral is through disabling the brain and burning the body. A fight hand to hand with a vampire could go either way, but unless one has any sort of training the advantages are highly pinned for the vampire so direct hand to hand fighting is not advised. UV lights sources are also provided to all forces in order to keep ferals at bay.

Bio:
Nathan was born into the small town of Bisbee, Arizona. An incredibly unremarkable town with the most important location being the Army installation thirty miles away. For the next seventeen years he'd live in the desert living a rather unremarkable life, getting into the normal scuffles and trouble that any normal teenager would get into. In January of 2015 he enlisted into the United States Army as a Forward Observer and found him stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with the famous 101^st Airborne Division, or by it's more popular term, The 'Screaming Eagles'. Four years, two combat deployments to Afghanistan and a purple heart later, He was on his way out, going through the process of leaving the Army. He was set to receive his DD-214, or known jokingly as 'the golden ticket' in November 2019 when the United States went into martial law, And through the obligation of being on 'ready reserve' was kept in the Army in a forced extension. He'd continue to dwell in 'Conventional' units until 2021 where he applied for 'Green to Gold', or the Army's process for an enlisted soldier to become a commissioned officer. In December 2021, right as the riots were kicking off come Christmas time he was commissioned as a brand new Lieutenant where he was given command over an Infantry Platoon and would soon test himself in the following year with the establishment of the Relocation zones. Several years would pass with the varying struggles that came with the virus. In that time, he earned himself another Purple heart and by 2024 with his promotion to Captain, he went to Ranger School, which, given the state the United States, was far less formal than it's pre-virus version, but did involve requiring recruits to win a hand to hand fight with a stage two vampire. Whether this actually happened, no one is entirely sure due to the humanitarian issues involved with forcing the normally scared infected to be murdered in a training process. But in a war such as this, against species, nothing is off limits.

The bitter fighting of 2025 would be a defining point for the lives of many, Nathan didn't survive because he was an outstanding Ranger, or demonstrated some inhuman levels of skill. But the simply, and often overlooked quality of being a survivor. Given the attrition rates that all Army units suffered, those who survived the chaos that was the uprising became some of the most hardened and ruthless warriors had been on the planet in many, many years. And this wasn't unique to the US military, but was common to those across the world.

Two years later, the fight continues.

Strengths:
Green To Gold: Having been prior enlisted before becoming an Officer, he garners more respect from the enlisted troops than your typical officer class who were often promoted rapidly, and with little experience given the high attrition rates in both Special Operations, and Conventional line units.

Effect- Enlisted troops are more likely to follow Savage's orders in high stress and FUBAR situations where in other circumstances they'd ignore commands in the goal of self preservation.

Rangers Lead the Way!

Effect: Due to the Special Operations nature of the Ranger Regiment, they have access to modern, cutting edge anti-Vampire equipment far ahead of conventional Army units. Examples of this are bite resistant, Kevlar infused fatigues, and superior body armor to traditional forces just to name a few. There are even rumors circulating of powered exoskeletons in use by Delta Force and other Tier one special forces units across the globe.




Weaknesses:
Savage of Sonora: Following the mass uprising in 2025, US federal forces were caught on the back foot and many things were overlooked in regards to what, in a normal war, would be war crimes. On one of his newer operations his Company came across several hundred civilians in the midst of an Eclipse nest they were raiding. The infection levels of the civilians who're kept as livestock was unknown. As Conventional forces were continuing to fall back from the Tucson containment area in order to regroup for an attack, chances of extraction for his company alone became smaller and smaller, let alone triage and evacuating civilians. As a result, He ordered the massacre of everyone on sight. While technically within his 'Search and Destroy' orders, It caused immense public outcry and demands for changes to the Rules of Engagement for American military forces. Due to the chaos of the time, he never came up on charges.

Effect: Civilians, both infected and noninfected, are extremely timid about cooperating with American Special Operations units, especially anyone wearing the famed 'Ranger' Tabs on their uniforms. Increases difficulty of acquiring information via interpersonal reactions in new areas of operation.

DO THE VAMPIRES HERE TURN INTO BATS?

No. There's no over the top supernatural stuff like that. There will be later on, but very slim.

Bio:
Nathan was born into the small town of Bisbee, Arizona. An incredibly unremarkable town with the most important location being the Army installation thirty miles away. For the next seventeen years he'd live in the desert living a rather unremarkable life, getting into the normal scuffles and trouble that any normal teenager would get into. In January of 2015 he enlisted into the United States Army as a Forward Observer and found him stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with the famous 101^st Airborne Division, or by it's more popular term, The 'Screaming Eagles'. Four years, two combat deployments to Afghanistan and a purple heart later, He was on his way out, going through the process of leaving the Army. He was set to receive his DD-214, or known jokingly as 'the golden ticket' in November 2019 when the United States went into martial law, And through the obligation of being on 'ready reserve' was kept in the Army in a forced extension. He'd continue to dwell in 'Conventional' units until 2021 where he applied for 'Green to Gold', or the Army's process for an enlisted soldier to become a commissioned officer. In December 2021, right as the riots were kicking off come Christmas time he was commissioned as a brand new Lieutenant where he was given command over an Infantry Platoon and would soon test himself in the following year with the establishment of the Relocation zones. Several years would pass with the varying struggles that came with the virus. In that time, he earned himself another Purple heart and by 2024 with his promotion to Captain, he went to Ranger School, which, given the state the United States, was far less formal than it's pre-virus version, but did involve requiring recruits to win a hand to hand fight with a stage two vampire.
