"some speak of a world hidden from prying eyes of the public, one that not even the princesses know of, where a few of the tales you read in books became reality, those who speak of this world are often mocked and ridiculed, no one would have known that this world was very much real, and so close to our own"

"it always seems so quiet at night, so peaceful, of course, that's in the towns. Outside, there is always a danger at night, ursas, timberwolves, dragons, but what threat is so great and secretive that not even the princesses know of them?"
"truth be told, it's probably because some of their closest friends and governors are them. Vampires. Some of the master hunters. Fast. Strong. Magical. But they are not how they look in books..."
"and the opposite of the night spectrum, Werewolves, bloodthirsty, powerful, and master trackers. The books almost have them right, but yet I think they're different, very different..."
"how have these two great and secretive supernatural creatures not begun trying to enslave or kill us all? The answer is the group that counters them, brave ponies who join the cause, battling werewolves and vampires alike, outmatched in individual power, they are still dangerous enough to fight the monsters wherever they may be."
"this group is called The Heralds of Dawn, and while their methods have changed over the years, the true meaning of them has always been the same; 'protect the sun's rising, and the fair people who witness it'"
"which side are you on? did you, say, get bitten by a vampire now, or hundreds of years ago? did you get bitten by a feral werewolf? or are you with the Heralds? did you cure yourself after you were attacked? all these questions intertwine, and eventually, all your fates shall, be alert, be aware, and be wary of what lurks after dark..."
-the words of the outsider, chapter 4, passage 2
Hope you liked my little storyline there, truth be told I didn't put that much effort into it, but I'm happy with it, anyway, welcome to the rp and sorry to break the immersion, but it was a part of a book in the RP, I think that's most of the story written down there, so onto the rules!
Rule 1. you are, in your section of the secret world, a new recruit, or an equivalent of a new recruit, yes, even the 200-or-so year old vampires have only just been inducted in the high vampiric council kinda thing, and they know nothing about what goes on in there, in the other things, you are a beta werewolf if you're being a werewolf, a newly bitten vampire if you're a new vampire, or a new member of the Heralds.
Rule 2. an older vampire, while having more magic and is relatively stronger than a new vampire, cannot go out in sunlight without having blood, and when they do with blood, they are severely weakened, new vampires however don't have this problem.
Rule 3. I partially based my rp on My Roommate is a vampire, a fanfiction you should read if you haven't already, unlike that story though, vampires aren't as powerful, can't damage silver with their hooves, can't break chains and stuff because of anger, and a single unicorn vampire is at a severe disadvantage against an earth pony Herald, so no powerhousing it up!
Rule 4. A vampire unicorn or pegasus is weaker than an average earth pony in speed and strength, a vampire earth pony or pegasus is weaker than an average unicorn in magic, an earth pony vampire or unicorn vampire obviously can't fly, so the final one should be obvious.
Rule 5. A werewolf unicorn or pegasus, while still able to use magic and fly respectively, they often don't and use their highly advanced speed, strength and smell to fight things.
I guess that's about it for rules, standard rules apply, now, onto the character sheet!
((note, if you're wondering what a Herald might look like, this is an example of Applejack if she was a veteran herald: http://fc09.devianta...awa-d5h5igo.png))
Name:
Race: ((you know the drill))
Faction: ((elder vampire, new vampire, werewolf, herald))
Focus: ((you know, strength, speed, intelligence))
Class: ((sorcerer, fighter, shaman, dragon keeper (Heralds only) necromancer (vampires only), these are just examples, go wild))
Appearance: ((description or picture))
Bio: ((doesn't have to be long, you know how to make a bio (hopefully), some things are dependant on faction, E.G, if you're an older vampire, put a short description of your days as a younger vampire before technological advances))
You can have up to four characters total, I will be putting an example character up soon, but I can't promise it'll be today.
Have fun, and keep a watch.
((hope this is good))
