4\8

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!

Evan Mercier

Once, he wandered the marble halls in silk and shadow—a whisper in Aaron Leval's ear, a smile capable of changing the council's decision. Power came to him like a breath, light and sweet. And when he wanted more, he reached for it with both hands. But he grabbed too roughly and personally destroyed his castle in the air.

Exiled, he now rules beneath the streets, amid flickering lamps and broken souls, a king of dust and echoes. His laughter fills the Blood of the Rose bar, where he gathers a new retinue of scum and those who blindly follow his voice like a herd. His plan is to breach the castle's defenses with a daring rebel attack and overthrow Aaron, taking his place.

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.
