you have been invited to the roleplay chat, "new york city vamps"! this chat will include drama, intrigue and a tragic story about vampires who want to rule the world. all are welcome, but this post is your required reading. we have some lore to get through! if that interests you, please read on!
our story takes place in 1920, new york city-- in a world unloved by god. the most detailed explanation of the lore can be found here. however the basics will be included in this post if you don't have the time to read all of that. ˃̵ᴗ˂̵

the year is 1920, the city is new york. the world is unloved by god. recently the united states supreme court has made a decision to ban the usage of any imitation to blood. it is seen as playing god, and and a way for vampires to masquarade as something they are not. as such, all alternatives have been barred from store shelves.
predictably, the country has descended into chaos. in new york however, several wealthy vampire houses have seized their chance to grab at power. the streets are overrun with fledglings, vampire houses are in control and fighting each other. it appears war between vampire and humans are brewing. and amongst it all, unsavory creatures have begun to crop up with their schemes for power.
bottles of some strange counterfeit imitation blood have come into circulation. they call it "fool's blood", a red liquid with golden flakes. it's the only thing readily available, but the rumor is it's highly a addictive and even deadlier.
also strange, a supposed vampire help line has begun advertising in the city. it claims that if you just call the number on the card, all the help in the world is at your fingertips. the vintons, one of the houses in charge, are supposedly involved.

vampires are a plague upon the earth, a creation sent down by god as a final "fuck you" to humanity. the first vampire was who we in our world would call jesus. as god has abandoned the world, nobody in this one worships gods. rather they worship ideals like progress, hard work and wealth. yes, some people in this world literally worship money. a small minority worship the old god, however they are seen as heretics.
vampires typically make up about one in ten of the world's population. however in new york city, in the year 1920, the situation has grown dire. vampires now make up about one in five of the population, and they run the city. here's what you should know about vampires:
like any other variation of vampires, they are undead creatures that feed on blood. this particular iteration are not sensitive to garlic nor the cross. however they cannot enter a human's home without permission, they cannot see their own reflections, and a stake to the heart is not the only way to do them in. if you wish to play a vampire, i recommend viewing the lore post.
where there are vampires, there are vampire hunters. while there are many different branches of hunters, the most prominent one in new yoek is the children of the old one. these hunters worship the old god, and have sworn an oath to weaken the vampire population of the world. so then, why do they ally themselves with prominent vampire families in the city?

first and foremost, please follow the guidelines to this amino at all times. if you need a refresher, please go do so.
second, i recommend you be of or above the age of 16 before you us. this is due to some of the plot themes to this roleplay.
this is a literate roleplay. by our standards this means we need at least three paragraphs, or to the see all per reply. we all slip up sometimes, but if you do so consistently you may be asked to leave.
be patient, everyone has a life outside of amino. do not pester your roleplay partners.
