OOC:
I was trying to go with the whole naming tradition with roleplays here xD
Here's the backstory, with 'you' being your character.
---
You and a handful of others have been selected by your clan's leader. The leader has found out that another handful of his vampires, ones that he thought were loyal, have left the clan on a mission to be founders of their own clan. Only, that their previous leader isn't so giving to rouges, and isn't so free to let anyone go.
So he's assigned you and some of his other most trustworthy vampires to search for them. Their trackers have narrowed it down to one near by city: New York. It is up to you and your possy to hunt them down and bring them back to the leader to be brought to justice for leaving the clan against the group's law.
However, beware that the rouge vampires have already had enough time to start bringing in some vampires of their own, either from creation or others looking for a clan to be part of. This may end out in a war, or it could end peacefully. It is up to you and the others to bring these vampires in, whether it is peacefully or in ashes.

Heh, some bad word choice there, but I think we'll all live, yes? Me and Andrew thought of the above, so any details can still be changed, me thinks, nothing is written in stone.
Here are the general RP rules.
~ Play As Your Own Character, and Your Own Only. No playing Swappy the Character
~ No Mary or Gary Sues. This means that they are perfect and can do whatever they want. Guess what, no one can.
~ This should go without saying, but try to keep it in the context of the board's age group. No R rated crap here lol
~ No Godmoding or Powerplaying.
GMing is when you kill or do anything else that can alter the other people's character forever, without talking to them first. PPing is when you force another character to do something that you placed in your post. An example is "(Other Person's Character Name Here) lend me a hand then we ran". That is assuming that they'll lend you a hand. Try to write your posts in an "non-assuming" way, by asking the character for a hand. Playing battle scenes need to be posted very carefully because this can easily happen (Trust me, I've done this so many times before). So instead of saying "Jack grabbed Jill and punched her then he moved on to do blah blah blah" it assumes that Jill didn't block Jack, punched him back, threw him on the ground, etc etc. When someone does this, the other person usually has to jump through hoops to make it seem "real" that their character is actually fighting back. Just take it one step at a time

Soo, I think the main thing we need to discuss is what type of characters would fit into this, make those characters, and also discuss what vampire universe this is in. Like, is it Buffy style where a stake through a heart would make them go poof into ashes or is it something like everyone knows about vampires (forgot the author's name xD). Or is it *gasp* Twilight where everyone is sparklie and need to be torn into pieces to not come back? Or how about silver stakes?
