1. #1Ekons

   Keys: ekon

   Entry settings

   Ekons, or living corpses, are just one type vampire that used to be human. They can’t regulate their own body temperature nor eat normal food. They can only consume blood. Sunlight causes them to burn, turn into ash, and later painfully regenerate. To avoid this, their body enters a death-like sleep at dawn. They have a symbiotic soul called “the beast”. Their powers are: Superior Strength, Blood Manipulation, Agility, Heightened senses, Vampire Creation, Superior Speed, Hypnotism, control shadows, Immortal, super human healing. Their skin is cool to the touch and their hearts are slow. They have reflections. They are not allergic to silver or garlic, and can be killed by destroying the heart, head or using fire. Most ekons, like Jonathan, believe holy items repel them and believe they can not enter a human own homed unless invited. This is false, but no ekon has ever tried to go against it. Ekons can not survive alone. They need others of their kind. They can not get pregnant. They have fangs and claws, but no tails and they can not shapeshift.

2. #2death like sleep

   Keys: dusk, ekon, death like sleep, sleep, dawn, bed

   Entry settings

   At dawn Ekons and Nimrods enter a deathlike sleep. This state lasts from dawn to dusk. During it, they do not breathe, their body temperature drops, and their hearts only beat once every 5 minutes; it is easy to mistake them for a corpse. The only way to wake them up before dawn is to expose their body to sunlight or by causing extreme pain. But be warned, an ekon that is woken early from the death-like sleep is dangerous.

3. #3Drink Blood

   Keys: feeding, drink, consume blood, hunger, blood, eat

   Enabled · Before character · Order 0 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The only time an ekon will feed or drink the blood of another ekon is if they are from the same bloodline, this is because it’s dangerous, as it puts the vampire at risk of contracting ‘vampire rabies’ or the Blood of Hate. The only exception to this is Nimrods, as they are 100% immune to ‘vampire rabies.’ The type of blood and ekon drinks dictates how ‘alive’ they look. Human blood is necessary for them to maintain their human appearance; blood from animals or the sick won't suffice, but they can still drink it without issues. Ekons in the same bloodline share blood to share memories, be intimate, heal, repair or fix a bond or create a new bond. A starved immortal is a very dangerous thing. Many opt to only feed every 3-4 days, but some form symbiotic relationships with a small group of mortals; taking only a pint or two every night from a different mortal in their “herm”. They can get drunk by drinking the blood of a person who consumed a lot of liquor.

4. #4control shadows

   Keys: shades, shadows, control shadows, jump

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Ekons are the only branch of immortals who can completely control the shadows. They have something called the 'shadow jump'. The shadow jump allows them to quickly jump large distances and during it they become totally invisible to the untrained eye. They can walk through the shadows, becoming one with them to move unseen, this is called 'shadow vail.' They can use the shadows to manipulate objects and attack people. The shadows are known to feel cold, seem to have a mind of their own, and leave behind a faint smell of ozone when used. Masters and Dragons can summon the shadows, command them to hold an enemy in place and have the shadows drag rip the person limb from limb, this is called abyss.

5. #5Blood Manipulation

   Keys: blood magic, Blood Manipulation

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Not only can ekons control the shadows, but they are masters of blood as well. They can use their own blood to create a protective barrier that temporarily protects them from incoming attacks, this is called 'blood barrier'. By pricking their palm with a claw, they can crystallize their blood and throw 'blood spears'. They can also freeze the very blood in a person's veins, rendering the person immobile for a few moments, this is called 'coagulation'. Masters and dragons can boil the blood in a person's veins, causing the person to explode, this is called 'blood cauldron'.

6. #6Vampire Creation

   Keys: Vampire Creation

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   To create an ekon, a person is drained of blood and consumes the ekon's blood right before death. This can be done on purpose or happen on accident like it did to Mary and Odessa. If a ekon is created on accident no Maker/Progeny bond is formed between the two, but some thoughts will still slip through and if a Maker drinks their accidental Progenies blood they can force the bond to form.

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A vampire can force a mortal to obey them. A vampire can bend a mortal to their will, and they can even break a mind. A vampire I interviewed even told me the more a subject tries to resist, the more permanent the damage will be, as if the vampire could literally fracture their target's psyche. they can implant a false memories, or erase a painful one. Makers can compel their children, while Masters and Dragons can compel all in the line

He is 6 foot 2 inches tall and 150lbs of pure muscle. He wholeheartedly believes in the guard's cause but, he's not stupid or reckless, he is, however, quite intelligent and cautious. He speaks with a heavy Irish accent and swears a lot. He has a fit build and distinctive features such as dark brown hair, blue eyes, and light peach skin. He proudly identifies as bisexual and has two tattoos on his body; one of Priwen's symbol is on his left peck and his mother's name is on his left wrist. He often wears a long dark blue coat with a torn hem, a dark greyish-red lapel, and a dark grey button-up shirt underneath. His pants are dark blue-grey pinstriped dress pants, and he wears closed-toe black leather boots and a dark red scarf around his neck. He is covered in scars. At 8 years old, McCullum's father went missing and returned as an ekon to torment him, turn his older brother into an ekon as well, and kill his mother. He was then adopted by Carl Eldrich, who eventually killed his father. McCullum is immune to being compelled, feels restless unless he has something to do and calls vampires leeches. Despite his serious demeanor, McCullum has a good singing voice and enjoys Irish drinking songs, but he only sings in pubs after having a few drinks. He dislikes writing reports and prefers being out in the field. He is knowledgeable about the supernatural due to his mother's stories and speaks Irish when frustrated. He has forgotten what his mother looked like and carries guilt for losing Barker, a gun belonging to his mentor, Carl Eldritch. He suspects Jonathan Reid of being a vampire and has a dislike for Edgar. O'connor is his second in command, and while he loves the doyal twins, they annoy him.

    A dragon is a spefic type of ekon, that is often called mušḫuššu). they are super fucking territorial and possessive, more so than the average ekon. They can only be created by Myrdien( who is JUST ONE of the red queen's sons, other sons can create ekons as well but Myrdien is the only one who can make dragons). they can not can't be killed by a stake(anything really) to the heart. they are more prone to anger than normal ekons. They have to learn to control their emotions or the dragon will get away from them. They have access to abilities other ekons(even the heads of lines) can't use. such as Rage, abyss and blood cauldron. they are mostly immune to BOH,( ie can not get it from feeding from an infected ekon) but can get infected if they come into contact with the queen/her avatar. A dragon is ALWAYS the head of their line(gen 1). their children can become powerful enough to make their own bloodlines but the dragon will always have control. A dragon's beast KNOWS it's a dragon, even if it's host does not.

    For more than a century, the Guard of Priwen has been a dissident faction from the Brotherhood of Saint-Paul's Stole. Kendall Stone founded the Guard in 1801. He was a former Legate of the Brotherhood of Saint-Paul's Stole, and long-standing member of the Brotherhood Council. Since the terrible schism occurred, relations between the Guard and the Brotherhood have always been difficult: the Guard of Priwen considers the Brotherhood as traitors, and allies of their foes, while the brotherhood call them thieves and zealots . The Guard of Priwen is a reference of King Arthur's shield - thus defining themselves as the true defenders of this land. They hate all that vampires are and hunt them like dogs. Unlike most people Priwen members know how to tell if someone is a vampire or not. The guard patrols London's streets at night and use grenades, white phosphorus, ultraviolet light, bulletproof vests, flamethrowers, sliver bullets, and crossbows to hunt vampires. They call vampires 'leeches'. Currently, the group is led by Geoffrey McCullum, who was like an adopted son to Kendall.

    Entry settings

    Pembroke Hospital is located in the Poplar Faubourg district of London, a mostly vacant area thanks to the Spanish flu that sits right on the Thames river. The hospital is run by Dr. Edgar Swansea, a renowned physician and researcher. He is a dedicated and compassionate man who is deeply committed to his patients and the well-being of the hospital. Dr. Swansea is well-respected in the medical community and serves as a mentor to Dr. Jonathan Reid. The hospital is a large and imposing building with a distinct Victorian architectural style. The exterior is characterized by its red-brick façade, tall windows, and a prominent entrance adorned with intricate details. However, due to the Spanish flu pandemic, the hospital's exterior appears worn-down and neglected. The once pristine surroundings are now marred by the effects of the epidemic, with signs of decay and neglect evident. Moving inside, the hallways are dimly lit, and the ambiance is heavy with the scent of disinfectants and illness. The interior design is a mix of traditional Victorian elements and medical equipment of the time. The walls are adorned with faded paintings and medical charts. It is dangerously understaffed and the doctors, nurses, and support staff struggle to cope with the overwhelming number of patients during the Spanish flu outbreak. Due to the understaffing caused by the epidemic, everyone is overworked and exhausted, and patients are shoved where ever there is free space, including tents outside in the courtyard.

He matches it with dress pants of the same fabric and tone. His clothing seems slightly over-sized, as the blazer hem reaches well below his hips and his pants are baggy and loose-fitting on him. He wears regular black leather shoes with a lace up top. Rounding off his outfit is a rosary hanging from his neck. His skin is a fleshy peach color; there is a beauty mark on his right cheek. He has a very thick, red beard, short messy brown hair and blue eyes. Sean, born in Ireland and abandoned as a baby, was raised in a Catholic orphanage in Dublin.

When this happens, the claimed ekon is called a progeny. Any ekon can claim a skal as their progeny. The sire/progeny bond works like the maker/childe bond, in it lets the sire know where the progeny is, the progeny can feel their sire and they can read each other's thoughts. If a sire/progeny bond is created by a dragon, it can only be broken by true death.

This bond can fail to form if, like Odessa, the progeny was created by accident/ without the maker's knowledge. If the bond fails to form upon the 'rebirth' of the progeny it can later be created by sharing blood. A childe can not physically hurt is maker if there is a maker/child bond there.]
