Brainstorming/Plotting post

Let's world build!



So I had a few ideas for things but most of it was linked with Duo's history. We were pretty vague about the city so how did you want to play that, just sort of set it in a random city much like our own world and leave it at that?
From the way we played it I'll say it's obvious that vampires and werewolves and so forth are known to the rest of the world, so everybody knows it's dangerous to go out at night, so I imagine it's a pretty lawless place after the sun goes down.

I can imagine certain parts of the city having, like, vigilante groups who protect normal citizens from anybody who wants to mess with them? and maybe there are certain areas of the city that are mostly for vampires or werewolves, like pack territory.

In terms of how vamps and werewolves work in this world, as you probably guessed I was sort of dropping hints that Duo was a werewolf, and I had some thoughts for how they could work in this setting, so maybe if I work out the wolves and you work out the vamps?

Ok, so.  I figured we'd base the vampires of this off of a somewhat traditional mythos. [No sparkles, thanks] Obviously they need to drink blood or bad things happen.  As for being turned into a vampire, I like the Interview approach, which is by draining and then sharing blood.  Aging would probably stop then.  UM 

No to turning into bats.  No to turning into smoke.  No to the mirror thing.  I think I like the hypnosis idea though, if it were more along the line of "is this magic or is this bastard just that charismatic?"  We can play with it.

As for daylight...I never liked the idea that vampires just burst into flame in sunlight (because realism?) so, I'd imagine it to be more like the world's fastest/worst sun burn/allergy.  I'm conflicted on the idea that they could go out in the daytime if they were careful [THOUGHTS?]

Vampire society is going to be as aristocratic and snobby as you'd imagine it to be.  I would think bloodlines or purity would have some importance to them.  Trowa, of course, is still an orphan bby who doesn't care about any of it in the slightest, so.

Anyways, how is everyone's Thursday going?
