Most of my vampire inspiration comes from Buffy and from the Harry Dresden books. Vampires exist and have much the same weaknesses and strengths as your typical Buffy vampire: they are strong as four or five men, they can be shot and stabbed with little effect unless it's in the right place (heart or brain), they burn in direct sunlight but can stand indirect light for a time, they die instantly if staked or beheaded or if enough fire is used on them, they must drink blood but it can be animal blood. There is a class of vampire that is basically mindless; these are created when someone needs a group of savage killers but doesn't want to really increase the vampire population in the city. They disintergrate by themselves in about 24-72 hours after they rise. There is a large subclass where power flows in the bloodline - if you kill the sire, the children revert to normal humans (dying quickly if beyond their normal lifespan). There are rarer classes or types of vampire, all wi...
What are the best places to live in Pacific City? Within the actual city limits (basically, just Crown Island)…. Gold Row This downtown area centered on 24th Street is the site of five-star hotels, exclusive stores and boutiques, the best restaurants and high-rise luxury condos. It’s the third most expensive address in the US. Most high-end retailers in the US and quite a few international ones have an outlet here. Many corporate headquarters are located here as well. Gold Row is generally considered to start in Township Square with the old Pacific Herald building. Cicero Park Old homes around the actual park area combined with a great deal of police presence make this a safe and expensive place to live. Rows of spacious brownstone reconstructions, Victorian corner homes and turreted brick hotels are scattered around this residential neighborhood. Most of the waterfront development is newer and up to modern codes because it was destroyed by Lemurian bio-machines during the invasion of ...
Barrow Hill Barrow Hill has a murky past involving murders, mysterious mass suicides, and general strange goings-on. It’s said to be one of the most haunted areas in the US because not only is it on the site of an old Indian burial ground, it’s the site of Rose Bay , the first settlement on Crown Island. Rose Bay, founded 1835, is named after the Fireweed wildflower that dotted the area and was one of the first permanent settlements of any size in the Northwest Territories. The Mtaki Tribe natives seemed friendly and helpful, and eagerly aided the settlers; for this reason the town grew rapidly and also didn’t feel the need for much protection. By 1837, though, increased contact with other nearby tribes revealed that the Mtakis were shunned as demon worshippers. Scouts who tried to relay this information to the city fathers were laughed at until the summer solstice of 1837, when the Mtaki revealed their true nature and slaughtered every white man on the island and nearby mainland in a...
