Sign Up Promptus Vaticanus: Order of the Vatican [M-LV and other]

[Tyler Koregaten]

[I]Evil is mixed within the world from corner to corner, so it is for us to slay it.[/I]

The year 986 A.D. An uneasy Pope John XV sits upon the Throne of St. Peter. His mind riddled by the plague of vampires currently terrorizing Bulgaria and Transylvania. Before him sits a table, littered with letters sent to him by the kings of Bulgaria, Transylvania, Poland, Hungary and others. He is in deep thought, searching for an answer, the answer to quell the problem at hand.

The gate opens. In barges one of the Cardinali di San Pietro in Vaticano, Brother Francisco. [I]"Mi Pontifo,"[/I] he said bowing lowly, with his long gray beard on the ground. "Archbishop Ricardo di Florenza has been murdered by the [I]vampiros[/I]." (vampires)

The weary-eyed pontiff looked toward him with a tired but appalled gaze. "What shall we do?" he asked humbly, bowing again. The pontiff said calmly "We have no choice. We cannot let these Godless beasts to roam free. We must enlist [I]them[/I]." The cardinal looked at him and said "Surely you do not say this, [I]Mi Pontifo[/I]?" "[I]Si[/I]. It has come to that. Have a letter delivered to Matteo, he will know what to do. Make sure the letter is stamped [I]Promptus Vaticanus[/I]." "[I]Si, mi Pontifo.[/I]" he answered walking away.

The gates pulled shut. The pontiff dove back into his thoughts. They would do the rest, even if it took 1000 years. His part in this story is over.

Later that night, having received his letter, Matteo di Parazzi, one of the papal scribes, walks swiftly through the allies of Rome, with the letter crumpled in his hand. He walks to a wooden door and knocks. "[I]Bardius opum cantabile, sanguis orem.[/I]" he spoke nervously into the door. It opened to reveal a tall muscular man with tattered robes and a sword at his hip and a dagger in his hand. "[I]Matteo, letum porus papa?[/I]" "[I]Si[/I]," he spoke, switching from Latin to Italian. He handed the stamped letter to the man, named Vertus. Vertus nodded and Ricardo left in a fast pace walk, disappearing into the night.

Vertus read the letter through and handed to a tall slim woman sitting in the corner she read it and nodded toward Vertus. Her name was Marnum. They stood up and vanished into the night, never to be seen again. They were two of the Acridiae, vampire hunters. Their line is forbidden by the world but kept by the Vatican. Their part is not yet over.

---------------------------

The year 2986, 2000 years in the future. The vampires have not been quelled. Pope Michael XXXIX sits at the Throne of St. Peter. He reads over documents of the incident of 968. "Why didn't the Acridiae carry out their mission?" he spoke angrily.
The gates open and in runs Cardinali di San Pietro in Vaticano, Brother Giuseppe. "[I]Mi Pontifo!![/I] The [I]vampiros[/I] have taken Jerusalem and have destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulcher!"

"So it begins." spoke the pontiff.

--------------------------

OK then, let's get started.

Simple, to enlist, do the following. We'll use mine as an example:

[B][U]Name:[/U][/B] Vertus
[B][U]Side:[/U][/B] Vatican (choose either Vatican or vampire)
[B][U]Race:[/U][/B] Acridiae (either human, Acridiae, or vampire)
[B][U]Skills:[/U][/B] Vampire hunting; scripture; heavy weaponry
[B][U]Bio:[/U][/B] None is known. (just short)

[U]Characters needed:[/U]

Pope Michael XXXIX
2 Cardinali di San Pietro in Vaticano
4 vampiros
2 Acridiae
2 humans

These are the essentials. We can have more than that, I encourage more.

Have fun with this!

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B][U]Name:[/U][/B] Zechariah Peichl
[B][U]Side:[/B][/U] Vatican
[B][U]Race:[/B][/U] Acridiae
[B][U]Skills:[/B][/U] Swordplay, Sharpshooting, Symbolism
[B][U]Biography:[/B][/U] A devout Catholic, Zechariah was born and raised in Ireland but his parents both being Acridiae moved back to Rome when the vampires started to pose a threat in the holy city, Zechariah was only 10 at the time. For the next twelve years Zechariah trained with his father and some of the other Acridiae.

When he was twenty-two Zechariah went out on his first hunt. It had started out as a boring night but then changed when he and his father came to a dark alley in Rome's "red district". A vampire posing as a tourist had attacked and started feeding on a prostitute. The vampire had taken off and eventually led the father and son pair into a small ambush. They both fought off the beasts and came out unharmed. It was exhilirating for the youth. The adrenaline, the screams of the beasts as they were destroyed, and the satisfaction that these creatures of the damned were being punished.

However when he was 26 a terrible thing happened. Zechariah's father fell to a vampire killed the man and the fight became a personal vendetta for the young man. To this day he tends to take unnecessary risks. However he does get the job done.

here's a link to what Zechariah looks like. [URL=http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/2757/demianqj8.jpg]Here is what he looks like[/URL][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[font=Century Gothic][COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Tyler[/B], bumping a thread with a double post isn't allowed. If your game doesn't attract people, then you just have to accept it.

I'll bump this up for you this once, because you had added content, but in the future, it would be better to just PM the people who have already signed up and ask them if they still are interested in your game, okay?
