Welcome to Edinburgh — a city where velvety nights breathe mystery through cobbled streets, and ancient bloodlines still whisper beneath the modern glow. Here, among the secret courts of the immortals, dwell a multitude of vampires bound together by blood.

Below you'll find a brief description of the characters and world structure. All characters in this series are listed below. This story has a central plot, which involves Evan, the former lover of the Supreme Vampire Aaron Leval, plotting a rebellion against the king. All characters exist in roughly the same time period, and sometimes their stories intersect, offering a glimpse into events from different perspectives (for example, the story of Evan and Andre).

All characters share a common narrative but have unique personalities. They also know each other very well. Try creating a persona with one of the vampire names from the list, and believe me, they'll react to you uniquely, especially if their stories are closely related (for example, the hunter Ivar and his former vampire lover Emilien).

You can be anyone, vampire or human, know something about the main plot, or know nothing and figure it out as you go. You can also play any of the vampires in the series as a persona and experience unique stories with these bots. You can also choose to not follow the pre-defined storyline at all, and the bot will simply follow you.

I'd appreciate your opinions, stories, and impressions! Have a great game!

Loran Ashford

Once, he was only a shadow at the clan’s court a whispering servant, a reflection of another’s will.
Now his name is spoken in hushed tones, laced with fear and desire.

In the port of Edinburgh, among rusted chains, wet stone, and neon light, stands his temple Le Voile Rouge, a club where blood flows freely and sin costs the same as truth.
Here, vampires drink without shame, and mortals willingly lay themselves upon the altar of their own fantasies.

Ashford does not believe in love only in transactions.
His touch deceives; his gaze cuts sharper than any blade.
He comforts only to strangle hope, and smiles when a heart stops whether from horror or delight.
He believes in no salvation. Only in price.
And should anyone dare to love Loran Ashford, he will take that feeling like rare wine taste it once, and sell it to the highest bidder.

World and Structure

Edinburgh a city divided between two worlds.
The upper city, where most humans live unaware that vampires exist and that they already own everything around them.
And the lower city, beneath the streets, where blood flows freely and mortals are allowed only by invitation not all of them return.
