No.2: A dead vampires spirit possesses an unwary high elf mage, thus becoming a revenant.

Assuming you're referring to Gondor's character here, it was actually the other way around; a dead Archmage managed to possess a Vampire Thrall.

No.2 is his earlier fluff, that's posted in the story forum.

However, to Count Erick.
I like them, but I'm assuming the knuckle dusters have at least some magical properties, to be able to knock a vampires head off? 'Cause thats rather difficult. Also, those daggers weren't described in the bio... are they a normal weapon of hers?

Nha, they dont.
You'll find out that these three, while apparently human, can do some very odd things (they have to. they fight Vampires).
There are perfectly good explanations for the things they do however, but I don't plan on revealing them yet, I'll leave them as surprises...

Also, those daggers weren't described in the bio... are they a normal weapon of hers?

Yea, their just a pair of normal daggers connected by a silver wire.
She couldn't carry her sword and pass off as a simple peasant girl.

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

The only reason i want an elf vamp is because i cant really imagine a empire vamp being cool ( in my opinion the empire is a bunch of zealots and fops with a gunline stretched alog the ground behind them), or brettonia ( they are a bunch of inbred peasants who have nothing but cavalry). I was gonna say a dark elf but then again that would probably be a worse idea than giving khorne a book of sorcery slavery galore also i want my vamp to be noble and not a maniacal Lokhir Fellheart Wannabe. Also if Elf Vamps are so rare doesnt that kind of fit in the Council is hardly a normal vampire collection many powerful vampires would probably have heard of it and those who hate Nagash would probably join.

Ok, you give two stereo-types there:
1.The Empire is a bunch of zealots and fops with a gunline stretched along the ground behind them. (Thats 4 corrections right there...)
2.Brettonia are a bunch of inbred peasants who have nothing but cavalry.

Let me correct you:
1. The empire are a fastly progressing realm in the vein of Renaissance and Germany. Fops are a personality, not a culture.
2. Brettonia are a race that clings to what little honour there is in the world, expressing it in chivalry. They symbolise medieval France. How the hell is such a large country inbred? Only Tasie is, and its an eighth of the size. If you're claiming these 'peasants' are inbred, whats Ulthuan like?

Now, I'll give two stereotypes for the elves:
1. High elves are a bunch of decadent pansies.
2. Darkelves are muderous, blood-crazed, extreme psychopaths who enjoy nothing but killing.

And I'll correct:
1. High-elves are culturally the most advanced nation and one of the last three effective defenders against chaos. (The others being Cathay and Naggaroth). Though they are not as white as they seem.
2. Dark elves are a race of exiles, fighting to reclaim what should have been theirs, only the higher castes are involved in the murder and assassination, which is natural to them, as only the strongest survive. The large scale killings are economically unsustainable and are empire and highelf propoganda. They guard the north east against chaos.

I see plenty of attraction in a Brettonian or Empire Vampire.

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Doombunny666 - I agree with everything Arion has said. Also what makes your vampire so special that he gets his own elixir of life. The bulk of us with one or two exceptions had to make do with being sired by another vampire if the elixir of life can be made that easily it just cheapens the entire vampiric race.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

With the above points in mind I am going to have to do what I dislike doing, and that is to say no to another vampire elf at this point. I am sorry but most people would say they can't exist, and we already have two on the Council. You are welcome to try another character.

@Simon is quite right - there wil be no master vampires created by an elixir of life, it would unbalance the power levels too much.

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

OK can i just say i have no hatred for Empire in fact i love them they were my first army and i love there style i just think that all vamps are from the Empire now days Blood Knights Von Carstiens etc...

So you dont want another Elf how about this a Chaos Khorne Lord leads his men into Brettonia for some good old fashioned Murder, Pillage, Rape and Plunder. In his way blocking the mountain pass is an undead host lead by a Blood Dragon he challenges to single combat being a self respecting Khorne lord he of course accepts. Hewounds the Vampire but overextends himself in the process and is beaten and mortally wounded. He managed to wound the vampire so the vampire decides to give him the blood kiss

Any Comments??? any spelling mistakes are caused by my damn PC eating text when i try to edit

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

so Like a Marauder Chieftain cuse a guy in Chaos Armor would be damen hard to sire cuse when you put on a suite of Chaos Armor it fuses to you and you can never take it off until you die so there would be nowhere for the Vampire to get his teeth into.

 

[Arion]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Ghouly's correct there.

 

[Lord of Ravens]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

And I thought Chaos blood made vampires go mad. Would a Vampire risk madness just to sire someone.

Whats wrong with Blood Knights? They rock. And with Walach arriving on the scene soon, you have the perfect oppurtunity to join. You could possibly have a kind of anti-Peter von Krahe. He is an outcast from the Keep since he dabbled with magic. You could RP someone who used to be comrades with Peter, but stayed loyal to the Blood Dragon cause...

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

A marauder chieftain sounds good to me. I think you could make some decent fluff around that.

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Personality: Hes a Khorne Chief

Best personality EVAR!!!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Its a lot more promising. The only thing I would ask now is that you lay it out in the same format as the bio thread, and that you expand a bit more on his personality etc. Look at the existing bios for examples.

 

[Trevy the Great]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

I dunno, DoN, 'Khorne Cheif' is pretty descriptive. They aren't very malleable.

 

[doombunny666]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Right so is it a yes a no or a top be improved???

 

[Sweeney Todd]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

It can definitely be improved. Your character's personality is nothing but a stereotype currently, you may as well have put in 'RAAAAARGH'. Anyone who just puts in 'Khorne Chief' is not really trying, IMO.

Also, how old and experienced is he? Do any of his equipment have any special powers? Or are they all mundane pieces of gear?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

It is a to be improved. Just flesh out the details, write the bio in the corrrect format and then we can see what it looks like.

 

[doombunny666]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

The Axes are just normal as i said
The helmet is spiky so he can headbutt people but other than that not special
The Hellblade is a Hellblade...

DoN im confused do you mean in the character bio thread or in this thread in a different format???

 

[Arion]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

In the correct format in this thread, take a look at Pg. 14 of this thread, halfway down is my revised bio, in correct format and about as long as it gets at over 2000 words.

 

[doombunny666]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Thx Arion ill get that done soon.

 

[Knightofni]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

Name: Saul Delegardt
Title: None
Age: Exact age unknown. Believed to be between 323 & 327 old
Sire: Unknown

Details of appearance, mentality and background here: Link

In terms of equipment and abilities Ive always envisaged Saul as an accomplished wielder of Shadow Magik rather than Necromancy simply because its my favourite Lore and because I think it suits his character better; he's a self-style loner who hires himself out as an assassin, so being able to conceal himself in shadows would be more useful to him than raising the dead.

He doesnt wear any kind of heavy armour, instead he prefers lighter armour; maybe a hard leather cuirass or something, he wears this with a cloak imbued with the magiks of Ulgu (shadow) that affords him more protection from missile attacks. Saul battles with a pair of swords that he forged himself before he was tainted with the curse of vampirism, neither sword is magical and in-game they would be represented by a pair of hand weapons.

Saul also would have the Summon Creatures of the Night and the Hunter in the Dark abilities from the army book to represent his affinity for manipulating animals and his lonesome wanderings.

**

It is unlikely that Saul has any interest in the war between Nagash and the Council; not being particularly close to either side but he would hire his services out to the highest bidder, most likely to be the council, it is unclear as to what Saul would ask for in return.

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

So you are joining after all, I thought you said you where not intrested?

 

[Knightofni]

RE: TVC - Sign-Up Thread

I wasn't but I needed a break from writing my story, so that I can get some new inspiration about what's going to happen in the next chapter so I figured I'd keep my character busy during that break .. there's no rest for the wicked.

Besides some of this TVC stuff is actually quite good, I've not read it all because there is far too much of it but I don't want my character to miss out on some decent action. History doesn't wait for the idle.
