Bare Your Fangs! Vampire Pictures, Stories and Gameplay Advice Please
Hi all, I am working on a storyline in my game that will ultimately involve a neighborhood based on rival covens of vampires, so I was wondering if anyone out there, has pictures of your vamps, st...
Well you're in luck @MaggieMarley and @kirivian ! I was just about to post the first post of many, many more to come!
Alright it's time to start my vampire tales! I was originally going to start a story thread titled "House (Haus) of the Morning Star" but since I'd never get to making it happen, I can at least share the individual stories surrounding all my vampires. I'll post in batches as well so I can organise all their stories better. To start, I'll focus on some of the major players of this story.
To start, you all know already about Count Vladislaus Straud and Lilith and Caleb Vatore; I haven't changed their appearance and I follow by the Maxis account of their origins so not much has changed in that dept either. Count Vlad still continues to rule over Forgotten Hollow from his hilltop manor (along with his cat, Mayor Whiskers) and the Vatores still live in Wolfsbane Manor, but there are some changes with them all. In my game, Count Vlad currently leads the League of Vampires, or the World Council of Vampires depending on who you ask, and in a way you can consider the Vampire League his "coven" of sorts although he has no actual coven of his own, but asserts significant power and influence over other covens in the League and around the world.
Count Vlad and the Vatores regard their relationship merely as one of mutual disagreement; both siblings prefer drinking from plasma packs and other alternatives instead of Vlad's more forceful and violent means of acquiring plasma, though they respect each other's opinions and generally leave each other be (but sometimes get invites to go to places together). The Vatores are much more different; in my main save, both Caleb and Lilith have completed their aspirations and Caleb has regained his humanity in a spiritual way and enjoys being a food critic, and a representative in the Council. Lilith on the other hand is a master painter, renowned author, and a great pipe organ player and has started her little coven of her own, comprised of her brother and the offspring she turned for her aspiration:
Sara Ramesh, her first offspring and arguably her favorite; the only one of her offspring that currently resides with her as she is grooming her as the heir of the coven. Sara regards Lilith like a mother (or a sister) to her and as the last of her actual family had finally died (her cousin Sai who was fed to his wife's cowplant), Lilith is now the closest thing to a family she has left. She is of course free to leave the house at anytime and plans to talk about moving in with Count Vlad to obtain more vampiric skills and gain more power.
Dillan Kirkland, her second offspring was only but a passing thought that she sought to turn, only because he wouldn't stop knocking on their door during the day, seemingly fascinated with them (and Caleb especially). After he and Caleb became a couple, Lilith sought to turn Dillan into a vampire so that they could stay immortal forever, and after Dillan's mother Juanita passed away, he agreed to let Lilith turn him into one. Now living with a middle-aged Don Lothario in the former Partihaus, he is currently being secretly targeted by bestselling author and fledgling vampire hunter, Andre DaSilva (yes, the same Maxis premade one) for being considered a local threat to his family, his neighborhood, and his community.
Kerry Bruno, her third offspring who was a townie vendor that I liked enough to want to keep around. Kerry had been one of the first vendors when San Myshuno was opened, and as the years passed he began to get older and older. Although Lilith can't eat normal food, she took interest in him and befriended him. On the eve of his birthday before becoming an elder one night, Kerry confided in Lilith about his fear of dying, and as a birthday gift to him, she gave him immortality by way of vampirism. Of course Kerry was ignorant of how vampires worked, and after he turned into one, he thought that he could go back to being a vendor as normal. Of course that was a seriously bad idea and immediately got him out of being a vendor before he burned to a crisp and now shares an apartment with Lilith's latest offspring...
Damon Seitz, her fourth offspring and admittedly one of the harder ones to find and persuade to vampirism, due to not being housed anywhere in the world. Luckily Lilith knew that Damon went to the gym often and stalked him out at her nightly workout sessions. Once he appeared at the gym, Lilith and Damon became gym buddies. Mild-mannered but stubborn, Damon was hesitant at first to pursue a friendship with a known vampire. It took Lilith some time to persuade him due to him having to keep a schedule at his job competing in e-sports, but once there was time to talk about it, he agreed to be turned and shared an apartment with Kerry. That is, until what happened in my main save where he got stuck outside the Perfect Balance Spa and died in the morning sun of Brindleton Bay, to which his grave marker was then taken away by Lilith's last offspring to date...
Sosuke Aizen is her last offspring so far, and boy did she wring in a wild one! Sosuke is the long-lost brother of the current president of SimNation, Tencho Kurosaki, and is highly ambitious, extremely intelligent, and very wicked. Hungry for power, he first tried to curry political favour with his brother Tencho, but although he loved him very much, he would have no more influence in govt than the common citizen. He "retaliated" by binding a voodoo doll to him and torturing him with it, but yet this would not be satisfactory for him. Moving to Windenburg, far away from SimNation, he knew about vampires and it was he who sought Lilith and not the other way around. Of course Lilith was quite eager to rein in a new offspring into the fold to complete her aspiration, and he was given exactly what he wanted...
Now a vampire, he set his grand plan into motion, but not before getting abducted by aliens one night and coming home with an alien abduction baby, his son Grimmjow, which is unknown whether he will inherit hybrid genes or not from him. During the days when he slept, Grimmjow was being taken care of by his live-in nanny, Meredith Fey, who also makes for a great live-in meal as well. Unlike the rest of her offspring, Sosuke doesn't consider himself part of the Vatore coven and considers himself independent. He's been worming his way into Vlad's good graces while he'd been studying vampire lore and upon reaching Master rank and gaining Sun Immunity, he's started a career in organised crime, becoming the very things that his brother had been working to get rid of. Sosuke has been coercing (or manipulating) Vlad into submitting his bid to be a Councillor of the League, but Vlad warns him that there are processes in place that can't allow him to simply make him one, so he'll have to curry favour with the others if he wants to guarantee their votes (I'll get more into detail another day).
Tencho Kurosaki (current President of SimNation but is retiring soon for his term is almost over); I've included him here simply for his minor involvement with vampires, in that as President, he has been working hard to remove both the vampire covens and organised criminal syndicates from influencing the govt. It has never been easy and appears to be a losing battle, and finds himself ever more disappointed at the constant depravity that Sosuke continues to dig himself further into, first becoming a vampire and then involving himself with the Sim Mafia! Let's hope the next president will be any better at controlling the mob and the vamps...
Tencho and Sosuke apart from their other affairs are both members of the old (and rich) Lucious noble family, with Tencho being the current patriarch of the family with his newborn baby boy as the future heir. Both he and his husband Shiro are personally searching for a means to gain immortality for their family without consequences, but that's another story for another time...
