Ok...now Im sure everyone is getting tired of reading these, and for good reason, but I would like to take a chance to point some things out that I personally find need brought to attention.
Vampires
Lets look at this for a second, (rewind the clock for the past 20 years of vampire media) What were vampires? The were feared, they killed many people, drank HUMAN blood, and yes they were in most cases seductive (hell even Dracula was a ladies' man), but above all, they were secretive. Vampires tried ever so hard to keep their existance secret, why? The answer is plain and simple...
Woman: "Hello sir, how are you today?
"
Man: OMNOMNOMNOMNOM
Vampires drink blood, they always have, its their main thing they drink it from humans, yes they could drink from animals (and in some cases have), but they choose humans for many purposes, could be for the best taste, could be for the thrill, but they drink from humans. That is why they are meant to keep themselves secret. That seems to be something everyone is forgeting...that they kill people...
So...you are roleplaying as a "peaceful, or vegitarian" vampire...well...why? I mean really? Why bother being a vampire if you are not even going to appreciate the massive RP potential of being a vampire, just eat people...you dont even have to be evil...its basic feeding, such as a normal person eating a cow or something...its their nature. Hey if thats still wrong in your eyes feed on criminals and such? Its not that hard to RP as a vampire who does that even just as long as you keep your existence SECRET. Do you know why the inquisition exist non RPwise? It was to prevent horrible open about being a vampire RP
Now then for my second point...
The Regalian Church and the Crimson Inquisiton
They dislike vampires, its obvious, but why? If you havent figured out why by now, sorry to be harsh but i pity you. The church has noted the fact that vampires get their powers from the End realm and know that it IS IN FACT a threat to humanity, so Wolffram came into play (though i hear hes a new character now, but i could be wrong) He stated the heresy that vampires were and could see the threats they possessed. But he and the rest of the church can only do so much, so what did they do?
The Crimson Inquisition, they hunt, prosecute, and torture vampires. They do this will ruthlessness and a harsh attitude...honestly its easy to see why they are hated, especially with the whole attacking "innocent" vampires. So whats the problem here? Attitudes. The crimson are the GOOD GUYS, but lets face it, they nor even Wolffram acted like it, this can easily set an off tone to someone. They are too quick to attack, and too harsh with their words, most dont even feel like they are concerned with them so much as they just want to kill something. They need more backstory or something to be in CI in my opinion, like people who have lost a family member to vampires or something, not just some guard who was hired to kill a vampire, they need to know and feel vampires are a threat.
I dont know, thats just how I personally feel on this.
