~Intro~ Have you ever wished that vampires existed? That their was a world better than your own? Well, their is. And it sucks for you that you don't know about it. And please don't use the word 'Vampire', it offends some of our kind. But go ahead, I think its funny when people get ripped in half. Or burned. But anywho, this world isn't all fun and games. There are the Strigoi, a horrid vampire race that target our Miroi, which Damphirs are sworn to protect. But hey, whats life without a little danger? ~Vampire Types~ Moroi~ Moroi are the stunningly beautiful ones of the vampire race, royal by blood and are gifted with elemental powers. They are weakened by sunlight, though it does not hurt or annoy them and they seem to have a connection with animals. Unlike the Strigoi, they do not kill when the feed, but only take small bites from Feeders to nourish themselves. Moroi can go without blood for a two day period before their body begins to weaken which can be seen as their already pale skin becomes paler and they began to develop dark circles under their eyes. Moroi also have the ability of compulsion to control the mind of humans, Damphirs and a certain degree of Moroi. They can also heal at an extremely quick pace. Damphir~ Damphirs are the guardians of the race, having advanced abilities such as sight, smell, strength, speed and are even able to sense danger when it is about due to the sharp senses. Though, animals don't seem to like them. Damphirs are able to be in the sunlight without any waning strength and vary in color unlike the Moroi, whom are all pale and unable to tan. They are tall, but shorter than Moroi, whom are supernaturally beautiful. Damphirs are able to consume blood, but don't need it like Moroi and Strigoi, able to live and consume human food, though they must eat more than a human due to burning off a lot more calories than humans. Though they do heal quickly, Damphirs do not heal as quickly as Moroi. Strigoi~ Strigoi are the beastly monsters of the vampire race, having immense strength and speed, their strength even outmatching an Damphir. They crave human, Damphir and Moroi blood, but have a deep lust for Moroi blood, which seems to be the roots for their immense strength. They are extremely pale and have perfect skin and snow-white teeth. They can not see beauty, only their thirst for power. Strigoi can only die from sunlight, a silver stake, fire or decapitation. They are undead, immortal and unlike Moroi or Damphirs, they are created not born. _____________________________________________________________________ ~Elements~ An element is something almost all Moroi vampires specialize in. While Moroi have a low control over all of the elements, usually they specialize in one of the five elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, or the rarest, Spirit. Spirit had been forgotten over the years and was re-discovered when the last Dragomir princess, Vasilisa Dragomir, specialized in it. ___________________________ Air~ An Air User is a Moroi that can control and manipulate the air around them. A user can take the air around them in a room to be able suffocate their opponents or victims giving the ability to choke their victims or opponents to death. Kenneth was able to put large amounts of pressure on Lissa Dragomir making her feel as though her head was being crushed. Air Users can also create a mild breeze to surround them or others. Though, it weakens the Moroi after use. Fire~ A Fire User is a Moroi that can create, manipulate and project the Element Fire from their hands or minds. A Fire user can create fire out of nothing and is able to manipulate it when using it against a opponent. It is the only Element that can destory a Strigoi completly this was shown by Christian Ozera in the Attack of St.Vladimir's and also shown to set people alight and keeping the flames and heat of their opponent. Interestingly, mostly the Ozera seem to gain the Element of Fire. Use can also weaken the user. Earth~ A Earth User is a Moroi that manipulate the earth around them. They can control any natural substance such as stone, dirt, plants, or wood. It is said when an Earth user is in their older years they become weaker with the ability. Earth users are also able to charm objects and jewewlry to make compulsion spells within the object, this has been used once on Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov with a Lust Spell placed on a gold necklace that was a gift from Victor Dashkov. It can be also said that Earth users can make Attack Spells. It is noted that Earth users are the ones responsible for the compulsion in the Alchemists' tattoos. Water~ A Water User is a Moroi with the element to control and manipulate water that is . Though this has been proven wrong by Mia Rinaldi who used her ability to make a water tank explode and trap a Strigoi in Spokane. Jillian Mastrano Dragomir is another water user who had used her ability at Palm Springs where she took the small lake at the golf club and made it like a waterfall. A water user can also use their ability to melt snow or slush that surrounds them. Water Magic is also combined with Earth Magic to create the Alchemist Tattoos for Alchemists Spirit~ Spirit is a fifth element that is rare among the Moroi. Lissa Dragomir believed she hadn't specialized for years but after Victor Dashkov kidnapped her she learnt that she had the power of spirit. There's many negative side effects of spirit-it leads to depression and insanity. If the spirit-user has brought someone back from the dead, the person will absorb the side effects but it in turn makes them experience dark feelings. Spirit increases compulsion, making it so they can work compulsion very easily. Other powers that come with spirit include aura sensory, dream walking, healing, creating illusions, telekinesis, and mind-reading. Spirit users can also bring the dead back to life. When they do, it forges a bond between them and the person who died. The phenomenon is called "shadow-kissed." Someone who is shadow-kissed can slip into the spirit user's mind and know their thoughts, and experience things as if they were the spirit user, and they also see ghosts.

She secretly likes how outgoing and rebellious Lucille is but doesn't ever show it. Though she hates rule breakers as well she hates men in particular due to her traumatic past. Oksanna was kidnapped as a child. Abused, tortured, and raped by her captor she used her flames to eventually break free after 6 years of abuse. Raised rest of life by academy. Eventually deemed Headmistress of academy because she was not part of the 12 royal families. Vowed never to use her flames again.

She hides her ear and neck scars with her long hair. Her element is Spirit. Katya is a nice, thoughtful, and kind person and is a great heir to the throne. Katya, comes from English, French, and German decent. This causes her to have a light English accent, so light you can barely tell it's there, but she can make it very obvious when she speaks if she wants to. She can speak many languages fluently, as such things are necessities for a royal to know, but you could say she knows a little too many. Katya can have a very fierce attitude, especially when it comes to Luci, but tends to hide this part around other people to get on the current Queen's good side. But around Luci she is ambitious, intelligent, and once upset, can have a very bad temper. But her patience will last her a while before that happens. She hates when people bring up her family but ignores this around other royals. Lucille is her best friend and she would do anything protect her, but finds it kind of creepy that her spirit let's Luci see and feel her emotions. Father turned strigoi and killed mother, was eventually hunted down. Had big sister who was killed in the brawl. Lucille is Katya's best friend, only Luci can call her Katie. All royals call her Katya. Family friends (uncles, aunts, etc.) call her Kate. Lucille was a family friend and was there when Katya's father attacked, she was killed in the process but Katya brought her back with spirit. Katya died as well awakening her spirit and bringing her back to life but not unscathed. She now has scars on her neck, chest and one behind her ear. Katya is now the only living member of the Orlov family and a possible heir to the throne. Theme song- Let it rock by Kevin Rudolf Ft. Lil Wayne ~Vivi~ Dante Leon Falk~ A seventeen, very tall boy standing at 6'6, with ivory skin and bronze hair. His hair pushed to the right side of his head, it chopped short in the back and longer in the front. His eyes are a a bright, gold colored amber, much like the whiskey he loves to drink. Dante is well built, lean and muscular and is incredibly strong. He has a beautiful face, one that girls and boys in the academy seem to swoon over. But he seems to only be interest in Lucille. Which is far from the truth. In the public, Dante is kind, caring and seemingly the most loving person in the world, helping everyone around him and has the charm of a prince. Dante has a love for alcohol, whiskey to be exact. When in private around Lucille, he becomes abusive, beating the ever-loving shit out of her, telling her that what happened to her parents was her fault. Dante wears a black sweater with holes in the sleeves and light blue jeans with short combat boots in which the jeans are tucked into. Dante being royal and being with Lucille, seeing how the relationship, is completely taboo and would ruin his reputation as an Royal if she ever spoke of it. But even so he is very possessive. Theme Song- A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold ~Vivi~ ~Damphir~ Lucille Vhaugn Sorren ~ A pale, seventeen year old Damphir standing at 5'7. Lucille, or 'Luci' in Katya's terms, has pixie cut, bright orange hair, with a lighter orange streak in the front, her bangs curled up like flames. She has obsidian eyes with orange flecks in their depths that seem to burn like hot coals when she is pissed. Across her pale skin, are dark freckles, mostly due to sun exposure, seeing how she doesn't seem to tan even though she is a Damphir. Luci wears a black, thick, silk vest with lime green buttons and a lime green bow tie, black skinny jeans, and 12" black combat boots. But underneath her clothing are deep, jagged scars, two on the inside of her shoulder blades, where a Strigoi wanted to 'carve her wings out'. When it comes to attitude and personality, Luci quiet, though has a playful side, especially when it comes to Katya. But, Luci also has a fierce attitude, and flaming temper and doesn't mind throwing out a few sarcastic jokes, or kicks towards someones face. Luci, being German, has a German accent, though its not to thick and her voice is not deep, it is still very obvious when she speaks. Lucille is also a very protective girl, especially when it comes to Katya, willing to simply rip off someones arm if they touch the Moroi in the wrong way. It also helps that Lucille is very fast and is extremely agile, being very hard to catch. The flame haired female also has a tragic past, which involves her family being turned to Strigoi, though refuses to bring it up, and do to his along with the constant beatings she receives from Dante, Lucille has developed a strong case of PTSD. With Dante, Luci is very reserved and submissive, taking any beating or insult he throws at her in constant fear. She tells no one of the abuse, relying on the quick healing that comes with being a Damphir to cover up the bruises. She also often goes crying to Clement, even though he has no idea that the situation is occurring. Theme song- Again by Flyleaf ~Asylum~ Clement Dieter Amsel~ Clement stands at 6'7, is 18 and has slightly tanned skin and an adorable, boyish smile. He has sandy, shaggy brown hair that falls around his face that is slightly spiky in the back, along with dark brown bobby pins crossed into an X pinned into the right side of his bangs, though they don't do much in holding them back. He has light, soft blue eyes and he is lean and lanky, given him a boyish charm that seems to make girls fawn. Though the only one he is interested in is Lucille, seeing how he has known her since she was six. He is very protective of the girl, and would honestly kill for her. He knows that to become a guardian, Moroi must come first, but in his world, Lucielle always comes first. Clement has an American accent, though he is completely German. He has master the English language, German and Russian and is quite intellegent though he doesn't show it with his fiery attitude and his impulsive actions. Clement also gets embarrassed easily, but is quick to defend himsellf and his pride. The sandy haired boy is nick named 'Clemmie' from Lucille, though he pretends he hates the nickname, Luci can honestly get anything she wants from him by saying the name, seeing how it makes his heart melt. Clement wears a black tank top with light teal skinny jeans with short brown leather combat boots that said skinny jeans are tucked into to. He also has a weird thing with people touching the back of his neck. It's really sensitive. Clemmie also has an amazing voice, when singing his voice holds a tone ranging from alto to tenor. When Luci and Clemmie were little, just after the Strigoi attack, Clement would sing lullabies to help Lucille sleep. Also, due to his fiery temper, he tends to get in a lot of fights. So please be nice to him? Theme Song- What if by SafteySuit ~Asylum~ Mason Andre Sorren~ Mason is a seventeen year old Damphir standing at 6'0 tall. Mason, has dark orange hair, his bangs like the rest of his hair slicked back. Unlike his sister he has dark brown eyes with green flecks in them. Despite that difference both of them have dark freckles and pale skin.

But he dresses normal when he goes out in public to blend in. When it comes to attitude and personality, Mason is funny, and is very playful, especially when it comes to Katya. But, Mason also has a quiet side, but his outgoing side doesn't mind throwing out a few sarcastic jokes before letting his sweetness show. Mason, also has a German accent, but its not to thick and his voice is not deep. Mason is also a very loyal friend, willing to go through anything to protect his loved ones.

"I'm serious guys, there's strigoi activity everywhere now!" Mason explained enthusiastically.
"It's montanna mason, not much goes on here. Why would you think a billion strigoi attacks would pop out of nowhere?" Katya asked.

Lucille flicked her brothers nose, rolling her eyes. "Its true though, I heard some top level Guardians talking about it. Apparently the Strigoi are planning something." Lucille said sighing, pushing a hand through her flame like hair. "That means Novice's are going to go through some more vigorous training." She said, an excited smirk decorating her freckled face.

Lucille groaned "Cause more work means I get to kick more ass!" She cackled, remembering the time her and Mason had sparred together, her of course dropping Mason. Her eyebrows furrowed "And there are always the stupid Damphir that put their nose in the wrong place." She hissed at the thought.

Luci stuck her tongue out at Katie, before glancing towards the clock in the back of the classroom they were sitting in. She needed to meet up with Dante soon. Lucille frowned, she didn't want to go, she wanted to stay with Katie and Mason. But if she was late, that meant the hits would hurt more.

Katya glaced over at Luci, a worried expression on her face. She tried to keep her emotions to a minimum so they wouldn't seep through the bond but it was hard.

Lucille could feel Katie's worry and smiled reassuringly, "I'm fine, just stressing over some stupid Novice stuff." She pushed her hand through her hair "I think we have some exams next week." Luci stood, smiling down at her brother and her charge "I'll be back at the dorm a little after morning." She said before walking out the classroom door, leaving the two. Time to go find Dante. Even though she was terrified to meet up with him at his dorm, she pushed the emotions back down, seeing how she had a lot of practice with that sort of thing.

Katie sighed but agreed hastily. Something didn't feel right, and she would get to the bottom of it... eventually.
Mason noticed Katya's worry and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, whatever it is my sister can handle herself. She's tougher than you think."

As she walked across the courtyard towards the male dorms, she came across the Novice training ground, where some Novice's were putting themselves to work. Her obsidian orbs scanned the training ground, catching the sight of a sandy haired, blue eyed childhood friend known as Clement. She shrugged, she had a little time. She jogged over to the fellow Damphir.
Clement turned, a wide boyish grin decorating his tanned face as he spotted Lucille "Hey Lucille!" He chirped, wiping his face down with a towel before slinging it around his neck, he tilted his head "Watcha up to?"
Luci smiled, other than her brother and Katya, Clement seemed to be the only one she could trust "Judt stopped by to say hi." She reached up, standing on her tip toes to ruffle his hair, in which she earned a chuckle "Tschüss!" She yelled, waking away. She stopped once she found herself infront of Dante's door. She let out a shaky breath before raising her fist and knocking.

"I know she is, if anything I know better than anyone what she's capable of. But that doesn't mean I can't be worried..." Katya explained rolling her eyes. She trusted Mason's opinion but it made her upset that the bond only worked one way.
Dante was in the middle of a Bud Light when he heard a knock on the door. Standing up he shuffled over to the door before opening it up to Lucille. "Hey babe, what took you so long?~" he sang, a smirk plastered across his lips.

Lucille kept her eyes to ground, trying her best to not provoke the taller male in any way "I was held back by and instructor, he wanted to praise me for winning today's spar." She lied, a fake smile playing on her lips "May I come in Dante?" She asked.
