Vampire and Werewolf Guide

Vampirism

Vampirism…a curse to some, a blessing to others…but in either realm a terrifying blight upon tamriel.

Our monster system will be a vast departure from similar systems you may be used to in other guilds. Ours is a system designed with balance and a genuine fear factor in mind. With this system we’ve arrived to make vampires truly terrifying beings, but bearing weaknesses designed to keep them on a level playing field with mortals and werewolves.

-Roleplay Notes-

There are many things worth considering when playing a vampire.

It is strongly suggested you consider the psychological ramifications of a character who has watched or will come to watch their friends and family die around them repeatedly, has seen kingdoms rise and fall around them, and most anything they get attached to eventually withering away and dying in their hands repeatedly through time and aging. In many ways Immortality is anything but a blessing.

Consider what triggers your vampire. Within every vampire is a thirst for blood that can truly never be slaked. While an experienced or particularly focused vampire can manage their urges well enough to function, everyone’s got a trigger that pushes the limits of their self control. Perhaps it’s anger, maybe it’s despair or fear, some kind of strong emotion that makes your vampire lose grip on their control and want to consume whoever’s nearby, be they friend or family. Mind you we will never force you to have your vampire submit to their urges in such a way that guarantees repercussions. But keeping these triggers in mind can only enhance the roleplay.

-Basic Skills-

Listed below are the full extent of the basic skills all Vampires have. Excluded here of course are the unique bloodline powers which are further below. All vampires regardless of their blood clan possess these capabilities additive to their unique abilities.

-Vampiric Bloodlines-

The Elder Scrolls universe has a few bloodlines which you may choose from. Take in mind too that we do not allow vampires to be any earlier than 10th generation in their bloodline. With this you may not play a daughter of Cold Harbor or a Vampire Lord.

Werecreatures

Werecreatures, monstrous apex predators designed by the Hunt Master Hircine himself. Those blessed or cursed with Lycanthropy forever share a body with a ravenous beast who desires only to hunt, kill and feed. Like vampires in our system werewolves are designed to be a fear inducing threat, but bear weaknesses designed keep them in balance with vampires and the unafflicted.

-Roleplay Notes-

Like vampires there’s a few things worth considering when playing a werewolf.

Consider how long you’ve been a werewolf. It takes time and discipline to fully control the beast within, and one small mental slip could be an uncontrolled shift. Even with time there is always that bloodlust playing in the back of your mind. Consider what emotional factors and outside stimuli might compel you to give into the beast within.

-Basic Skills-

There are the basic stats all Werewolves have. These are not including the unique powers for individual werebeasts further below.

-Werebeast Types-

The Elder Scrolls universe has a few clans which you may choose from. With these bloodclans you can choose the powers of them, and add them to the list of basic werecreature abilities above. These abilities can take effect in either normal or were-form. Also, you may not EVER play a Werecreature Lord, or say your alpha somehow has more abilities and power then the others for being an alpha. They don't...
