Profile

Vampires are blood-sucking, prideful monsters who value their status above all. They take a great deal of pride in their species, considering themselves nobility. In their eyes, they're superior to humans and other monsters alike but tend to have a particular disdain for humans. Vampires are fairly average in strength compared to most monsters, but they possess lightning speed, almost appearing to teleport. This speed makes them difficult to engage in direct combat. They also possess a venom which helps immobilize their prey when hunting. However, vampires have a large number of easily exploitable weaknesses. Exposure to sunlight or entering a home uninvited will rob them of their strength and speed, effectively giving them the traits of a normal human. Pure, untainted water or holy water will immobilize them. Smelling garlic and especially consuming garlic will completely rob them of reason, stripping them down to the mental state of an animal. As one might expect, a vampire's intense sense of pride suffers from any of these treatments. Vampires possess the ability to convert normal humans into one of two different types of vampires: a powerful vampire like themselves, or a weaker thrall. Those made into thralls possess very similar traits to their sire. However, they are bound by their own blood to the original, unable to disobey an order or ignore when they are summoned.

Two vampires are available through this journal: a benevolent vampire and a cruel vampire.


Violet Vermilion
Violet was once a young peasant woman of poor upbringing. She lived a normal life for a woman of her time, marrying young and taking care of her new family. Due to famine, her village began to suffer from hunger, but the noblewoman who owned their village's territory provided aid, helping Violet and her immediate friends and family to survive the devastation. Ever since that time, she began to idolize nobility, posturing herself and holding herself with a borrowed air of pride. By chance, this new tendency caught the eye of the very noblewoman who'd helped her village. While passing through, the noblewoman 'claimed' Violet and swept her away without any regard for Violet's family and current life. While the noblewoman originally intended to toy with and dispose of Violet, she decided to give the young woman a chance. Revealing herself as a vampire, the noblewoman drained Violet's blood until the young woman was very near death and, to the noblewoman's surprise— Violet still managed to stand and defy her. Impressed, the noblewoman allowed Violet to live as a newborn vampire.

While Violet herself was not born as nobility, her new 'big sister' took the liberty to teach her what it meant to be a vampire. Lessons on how to read and write, how to act among nobles, even on how to govern. However, the lesson on how to control her thirst came hardest, as Violet's first victims were her old family. Today, her 'big sister' is all she has left, but she doesn't allow that tragedy to take away one bit of grace from her demeanor. Violet is just as proud a vampire as her sire, and she makes no compromises when it comes to the servants she's acquired over the years.

Violet, while rough around the edges, has a big heart and can't ignore individuals in tough situations. Her servants are composed of homeless children she's adopted and raised, thieves who'd broken into her manor to whom she granted a new life, the poor and downtrodden, all manner of individuals she felt deserving of a second chance. She takes a number of those servants with her every time she claims new territory. She refuses to make a single one of her servants into a thrall, allowing them to live human and unbound to any master unless they directly request to serve her for eternity.

Violet, upon first meeting, can be extremely abrasive. However, upon looking deeper into her motivations, it's clear she simply wants company in this new eternity. A tsundere to a fault, appearances are important to her.


Antoinette Vermilion
As a bastard born to a noble house, Antoinette was married off to a foreign prince as soon as she reached marriageable age. While her origin was originally covered up, whispers and gossip still followed her to her new home to the point that her heritage became an open secret. As the daughter of a rich family, the funding the match provided her new family was more important than acknowledging her breeding, and so her marriage candidacy was not considered an insult by official standards. Perhaps, however, her bastard beginnings were more deeply ingrained in her blood than anyone realized; she fell in love with her bodyguard despite being a married woman. This drama presented an opportunity for foreigners who wished the crown's funding severed, and her bodyguard was hired to kill the woman he protected. However, he wished to ensure his new love's welbeing and instead brought her to one who could guarantee her safety. Upon being granted immortality by a certain count, she could not return to her former life. Antoinette and her bodyguard fled, taking on new identities and starting a life together. Antoinette's new strength ensured she could fight off all remnants of her old life that followed her into her new one. However, as time passed and her husband grew ill, he refused her offer to change him, insisting he wished to die as a human. While Antoinette respected his wishes, allowing him to pass on and leave her behind with their child, her grief was too much to bear. Grief turned to anger, and anger turned to hatred. She abandoned her child on an orphanage's door step and swore to never love a human again.

Antoinette is a bitter, vengeful woman with a fierce hatred of humanity. Born to nobility, she possesses grace and poise, her pride unmatched by the highest of kings. Despite her hatred, she takes the welbeing of those in her care seriously, making certain to guarantee their needs be met. When disaster or famine strikes her territory, she provides aid. When her thralls are injured, she provides proper care. However, for those she doesn't consider worthy of her care, she can be a nightmare. She is not above toying with claimed individuals or crushing those committed no crime but standing in her way. To her, she possesses no equal but those vampires who are of the same nature as herself, and even among them, she considers herself peerless.

Noble and proud, Antoinette is a dangerous woman, considered a villain by many. But she is not without her moments of mercy.
