Afflictions are ‘Application Only’.<\/p>\n

Applicants will be asked various questions after the initial form down below.<\/p>\n

As an afflicted person, it is not guaranteed that you will live long. You are playing a risky curse, you will need to be cautious and roleplay accordingly to ensure you survive relatively well.<\/p>\n

The general information is on their respective pages, yet accepted applicants will get extra info and tips on their afflicted to avoid being meta-gamed by malicious individuals. As always metagaming, in general, will be heavily punished.<\/p>\n

The main goal here is to drive RP with a healthy amount of conflict instead of of the afflictions as just being mechanically enhanced, and PvP monkeys.<\/p>\n

If you discover unbalanced exploits that heavily flavors your build, we ask that you open a ticket referencing the ability or exploit so we can fix it before it becomes a problem. If players are caught with proof, knowingly using unbalanced means to ‘bully’ or exploit their strength in a dishonorable way, it will result in removal from the afflicted table.<\/p>\n

Have fun with it, be open-minded about your stories interweaving with others, and as always, stay awesome. Let’s see where this goes OG!<\/p>\n

On Old Guard, the way to start acquiring the pathway to open our RP Acquired races, one must head to the library within the server and research<\/a> the topic that they’re interested in.\u00a0 Though we have a wide variety of research topics, only a select few are the keys to unlocking these slightly more buffed-up races.<\/p>\n

The RP races are typically acquired through research, quests, and DM events.\u00a0 With research being the main stepping stone as one must have the correlating research unlocked before they’re able to get the RP race through quests or events.\u00a0 Each race has more in-depth information on their respective race pages if anyone is interested in specific ones.<\/p>\n

If the player decides to undergo Vampirism, or is bestowed the gift and is a True Vampire, they will have to understand the following notes so that they know what they’re getting into.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a maximum of 15 True Vampires at a time, thus you must understand if you do not follow the philosophy of your Afflictions, you run the risk of getting stripped of said \u2018gift\u2019\/affliction.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>The goal of Vampirism is to expand your influence via, Creating a Coven and Alliances,\u00a0 attempting to eradicate your opposing Afflictions (Werebeasts VS. Vampirism), and even dominion over regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Beyond the below restrictions, you are free to roleplay your characters as you see fit, and need not fear intervention from staff unless necessary.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alignment:<\/b>\u00a0 <\/b>If you become a vampire, Lesser or True, it is a <\/span>requirement <\/b>that your alignment will change.\u00a0 Vampires are <\/span>Any Evil<\/b> aligned beings and should be played as such.\u00a0 If it is determined and proven that a player is not playing their afflicted properly, the Vampire lord above <\/span>will strip them of their otherworldly powers and strengths<\/span> and revert them back to their weak, mortal selves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Race\/Class:<\/b>\u00a0 Unlike the Undead Banshee, players will simply receive the vampiric boons\/banes\/abilities on top of their current race\/class and subclass.\u00a0 The Vampire is an addition to players’ stories that come with new Boons and Banes of their own, so we will not replace a race\/class when gaining vampirism.\u00a0 There <\/span>are<\/span><\/i> certain Races\/classes that <\/span>CAN NOT<\/b> be a vampire, however.<\/span><\/p>\n

Restricted Races\/Classes:<\/b>\u00a0 As stated above, certain races\/classes CAN NOT become a vampire.\u00a0 Specifically Paladins or Clerics of Good, and our Giant and Undead starter races.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two different types of vampires currently on this server.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

True Vampires:<\/strong><\/span>
They are the only ones who can turn three<\/span> other people into lesser vampires.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lesser Vampires:<\/strong><\/span>
Lesser Vampires are beings who were turned by a True vampire. They have vampiric strengths, but they cannot turn others.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Vampires, you may form covens together to unite your strengths to achieve your goals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Vampiric Covens:<\/strong><\/span>
A coven can consist of 3-5 True Vampires, and 9-15 Lesser Vampires at a time.\u00a0 As we know, our max clan size is 12. This is to reach out to others to form alliances. A coven does \u2018not\u2019 have to live with one another to be a coven.<\/span>
While in a Coven, the True Vampires<\/span> will obtain the following abilities. Please note, that these spells cannot be cast on yourself. Only one creature can be strengthened by a spell once (no stacking):<\/span><\/p>\n

Rite of Coven:<\/strong><\/span>
Stage 1 (Week 1), once per week you can grant one person +1 Charisma for 3 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

Ascended Coven:<\/strong><\/span>
Stage 2 (Week 2), once per week you can grant one person +1 Wisdom, +1 Charisma for 3 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

True Coven:<\/strong><\/span>
Stage 3 (Week 3), once per week you can grant one person +1 Intelligence, +1 Wisdom, +1 Charisma for 3 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(If you fall below the coven quantity for over a week, lower than 3 Trues-lower than 9 Lesser players, your coven spells will be reset.\u00a0 Your coven will have to open a ticket to reinstate these spells if another was not turned in time.)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There are three ways to become afflicted on our server:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Through DM Events<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Quests<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Through RP with a True Vampire.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you so choose to venture out and find yourself a True Vampire, you may become a lesser vampire in one way.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    Blood Ingestion while still living.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    A <\/span>minimum <\/span><\/i>of 20 IRL hours must pass between each drinking of blood, and each phase of blood-drinking must be RP\u2019d out with \/time.\u00a0 (DO NOT put any Sexual Screenshots in for these phases.\u00a0 They WILL be rejected.)\u00a0 When the process begins a DM ticket <\/span>must <\/span>be opened from the <\/span>True Vampire<\/b> that has shared their blood.\u00a0 The DM ticket setup is below with what information is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The blood must come from a known True vampire, but it does \u2018not\u2019 have to be the same true vampire.\u00a0 A character who is ingesting the blood may either drink from a vial that is provided by the true vampire, a minimal 6oz of blood (a small vial size), or they may drink directly from the true vampire as long as the volume is the same.\u00a0 In total, it must be 3 vials or 3 drinking sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Please note:<\/span>
    <\/span><\/span>Only two vials of blood can be taken from a vampire in a 20 hours period. Bottled true vampire blood lasts eternally unless released from its container, and drinking the blood must be done quickly and fully.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
