Romeo & Juliet-A Vampire Tragedy (RP. OOC Sign up)

Postby Tarnfire » Thu Jan 30, 2003 10:26 am

I tried this about a year ago, but because of a few minor porblems (like the fact that we never got a Romeo) caused it to fail. So I decided to try it again now.

The idea is to RP a Vampire version of Romeo & Juliet, where Juliet and her family is vampires. It will be set in a fantasy enviroment I will post the list of important characters further down. It will of course be possible to add a few extra charachters, change gender or remove some (but not Juliet or Romeo :P ). If you are interested, post a top 3 list of the charachters you would prefer here, and I will start a audition thread when there's at least 3 interested. I would prefer if you have eighter Romeo or Juliets as one of these three.
You will of course be allowed to use bi-charachters, or charachters that not is someones "main" if you want. You can for example add some funny conversations between servants.

You will be required to post which character(s), the location and when at the top of your RP posts.
(Example: Romeo, outside Capulets house, midnight.

His eyes looked worriedly at the gargoyles high above as he... )

I would prefer if you were able to post at least three times/week, preferable more.


Dramatis Personae

Escalus, Prince. Mortal
Mercutio, a young gentleman and kinsman to the Prince, friend of Romeo. Mortal

Story line:

Background

Postby Tarnfire » Thu Jan 30, 2003 10:51 am

The walled city of Verona is divided between the mortals and the Vampires, and has so been for thousends of years. Inner walls splits the city in three parts: The Vampires City, where also the jail is located since the prisoners sentenced to death will be taken care of by the vampires. The other two parts are the mortals city, that the vampires are prevented from entering by poverfull spells, and the City market, the citys true center, where also the Prince's palace is located.
Everything could have been peacefull, had not two of the most powerfull families been at feud with each other; The Vampire Clan Capulet and the mortal Montagues. The feud had started centuries ago because of two murders, a Montague son avenging his fathers death, and even if things have calmed down, it is not peacefull. The Montagues sigill is a stake and a hammer, and the Capulets would never forgive how it became so.

I remember this one too and took part. I enjoyed it for the brief time it lasted and would be happy to take part again. Last time I took Juliet and Paris and would like to do so again. Third choice? Um... Lady Montague or Montague... Posting three times a week would not be a problem.

Are you wanting to start from scratch? Or should we try digging up the old thread from the archives?
