"Jack I don't know what else I can say; that?s the third one dead in less than a week. The Blood district isn't usually targeted like this; you need to move somewhere in this case before it leaks to the public. If they hear reports that there's tainted blood on the market, we could see an increase in attacks on the street; we have enough Beast related attacks already with the lack of Husks on the market."
"Look Boss, we're investigating as fast as we can. We have the Dogs sniffing leads and the cops banging on doors near the Blood and the Marked districts. We have seven hundred thousand vampires living in those districts alone though, we need more people on the case."
"I don't want to call out the National Guard quite yet; I want to keep this as quiet and in house as possible; do you want another blood riot on our hands, we barely contained them last time and it brought vamp-human tensions to a new high since the First Reveal ten years ago. No, you'll do what you can with the force you have now. You get this under control or I'll find myself someone who can?"

Welcome to New York City 2030. It's been a hell of a decade since the Nightwalkers revealed themselves to the world. Their little act was over when the EU released the biological information of a captured inmate incarcerated for cabbibalistic tendencies. After biting another inmate in an altercation, he was moved into solitary confinement. When he was examined, it was determined that a lack of stomach, a body temperature lower than the standard by several degrees and mutated teeth, this was a new species; it was decided that the risk of panic did not outweigh the need for investigation.
It didn't take long for the "Elders" to reveal themselves after that. They weren?t powerful men in upper Echelons of society; instead they were special security agents, intelligent ops and other such skills that allowed them to conceal themselves. Secrecy works better with fewer numbers though and the vampire numbers had increased steadily since the turn of the 20th century. After the initial losses at WWII the Baby Boomer generation alone doubled the vampire populations.
The Blood riots soon began after the initial reveal of the vampires. The vampire more in tune with the Beast felt that now since the cover was blown, they could feast at will and chose in indulge in such things until the Army was called in to stop them. The Riot Days, as they are called in the United States, are remembered by both sides and continue to fuel tensions between the two species to this day.
This RP is a mesh up of old vampire tropes, new vampire ideas and some of my own polish to stick it all together. The RP takes place during the Tainted Blood Scare of 2030 after the death of the third vampire in under a week. You all live somewhere around in or the various vampire only districts in the Eastern wing of New York City. You are one of three types of characters: The Vampire, the Human or the Husk. Vampires have supernatural strength and are generally physically attractive, a trait bred into vampires in order to easily stalk prey. They have weaknesses to UV light, garlic and silver, all of which are extremely lethal to a vampire. They are known to have smooth tongues and intelligence bred over an extended lifetime. The average age of a vampire who dies is around one hundred fifty to two hundred years.
Humans require no explanation; they come in different shapes and sizes and have all kinds of various skills to them. A variant of the human though, is the husk, a blood bank for a single vampire. If a vampire is wealthy enough, they generally hire on a human as a Husk. Becoming a husk is easy enough; drink some of the vampire's blood and continue to feed the vampire from then on out. Husks are given a small increase in age and strength showcasing some of the vamperic benefits. They also become allergic to garlic and weaker in sunlight, however neither are lethal. Husks are susceptible to human deaths.
The Sheet format follows as such:

Right now this is an interest thread, any questions should be PM'd to me or posted on the thread. Sheets can also be placed here; if enough good sheets come up, the RP process can begin.
