Chapter 6 RP Opportunities

[Azraeth]

Elizabeth: For Peace.

Enver: For Peace.

Gideon: Against peace. Exterminate the vampire affliction/curse by whatever means possible.

Those are the only ones involved with the chapter (so far).

I think looking towards the future (I. E. Character views based on for or against peace) is a great idea. I'm going to be open to start working on live chat RP, and forum based RP for or against peace once I conclude some of what I have been working on for Chapter 6.

Tentatively:

Azraeth: For Peace. I don't have much in the way of details right at the moment, but his general feeling towards the Longslade incident is probably going to be something akin to "Well we really **** the bed on that one, guys." So I can see him wanting to work really hard towards creating peace between humans and vampires.

Whit: Against Peace. I honestly don't know how often I can play him, but if anyone specifically would like a vampire to join the 'against' side, I'd be happy to do something with him. His stance is...long term. So more likely than not, he would be 'for peace', for a bit, until he's come up with a plan. But long term, he would be super appreciative if humans and vampires did go to war, because he feels it would drive vampires to actually innovate new ideas. Like ways to survive without a ton of humans around, ways to expand the rift, etc. To him, the whole peace thing is a nice thought, but it's really just delaying the inevitable. But I think it's tricky to make that work in RP, so I don't suspect people will be getting much use out of him.

[Prudence]

I'm hoping to see the rp that was missed out on going on now, due to the ease of point and click.

Most mine left pretty quickly after seeing how many vampires were in one place...save those working for the cure. Mostly because I wasn't rping them, or they would take stealthy approaches, or like liz, who was against, moved for unsure.

What I'm saying is that unless people want the poss of war and chaos, it's going to need to be a group effort and not renegade/rogue style

Agreed, and I think that a lot of the remaining 'older' vampires are either beginning to realize that or have realized that. Like the fragmentation of the vampire community has been a major detriment to it for years. I know Az would be more than interested in getting in on a major collaborative effort. The problem is convincing everyone that's the right plan, and actually getting people working together.

I mean even short term alliances during major crises would be something. Some kind of protocol when **** hits the fan.

And unfortunately, stuff like governing laws and the council never really work long term.

[Alexandrea]

No, they don't ever seem to. But I think it's realistic to keep trying. Considering how well humans all get along irl, it's not hard to have hope that vampires in fiction might have better luck.

Alex; pro hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Wolffyn; pro f~ almost everything & everyone, just leave me alone.

[Every]

Well, there's always going to be the nay sayers in the community. Or someone who messes it up for everyone, so I definitely do look forward to seeing how things will adjust and cope in the future. Maybe they'll be able to figure things out as time goes on. Maybe it's not as much convincing everyone that's its the right plan, but to convince at least people who are capable of making some impact to try for it.

I'll have to think more on mine, but for now the only one I have that's always for peace is Jersey.

I know Every is comfortable with the idea of peace, however, she's not afraid to fight for what she believes in when it comes to war. She'll go down fighting, whether it's verbally or physically if she has to. She's more pro-survival than anything.

Sweet..can't wait to read some Alex AND wolffyn stuff!

[Meara]

Meara: for peace/pro cure only if it is completely voluntary otherwise against

Meara wants humans and vampires to coexist. She thinks all creatures have merits to bring to the table and larger common enemies. However, she's very afraid of paladins and worries that their zeal will kill her.

[Kira]

Kira is for peace, at least to get to be able to coexist but like Alex, doesn't have much hope because the way humans work. They can't get along with themselves let alone another 'species'.

[Roderic]

I keep seeing people say that, but does everyone realize that for months humans were living with vampires fine?

Like, the thing on crownet was green and positive. Idk why everyone thinks the two weren't getting along save a few player characters.

[Esli Barnes]

Some were on the side of invading and going against the cure trying to get it but yet were all for peace? Especially curious about those who were attacking on behalf of trying to get at the cure but were known to be the most tolerant and welcoming of humans.

Enver was in there after writing a book, doing a tour that had the world hearing about his before and after story. He pretty much stuck to his guns on the peace stance and now will be having some fun with all those who went in with fangs against the cure and found him on that side of the fence. I get his deal, but to be honest, I expected to see a lot more of those pro-peacers, especially with the powers and weight to make a difference, who have rp'd their harmony in there at the very least defending the cause. It didn't have to stay in government hands at the very end. That has now been proven.

Now that the results are in play I will admit I hoped the reactions based on general fear to be more extreme. I was in favor of much higher rates for buying blood, shops shutting down, it being impossible to been seen on the streets without attack by hunters or even worse...humans that vamps have bewitched losing their effective hold and being attacked within their own warm blooded inner circles randomly. Blood thieves having difficulty with getting to their source or stomaching their need for it and those typical vamp donors cutting off their generous open lines that make the thieves far more powerful than many vamps on the grid.

It was peaceful and pretty much harmony if we look back to the beginning of this year and prior. The species were side by side. They trusted one another with blood, shared beds, secrets and powers.
