I have an idea for a vampire to be cryogenically frozen and stored, to evade vampire hunters and also lessen the competition. When unfrozen he kills all the lab people, how do you think the vampire would feel for a thousand-year time gap, going from our time to a sci-fi paradise?

I am not sure if my post was deleted but I didn’t receive a notice so I’m just gonna format it differently this time I guess? Maybe it just didn’t post. So sorry if that’s not the case but I have no clue why it wouldn’t be allowed 😭

THE PLOT Three vampires inherit a hotel after their fathers are slain trying to fix it up and reopen it as “The Haven”. Their fathers, Karl and Friedrich Corva, become victims of a crime in a long string of crimes that have targeted their kind, and specifically their clan, for centuries. In an attempt to return to their former glory and retain what little power they have left in the vampiric counsel, the family advisor suggests that they sell the building to ACULA, a medical corporation that controls all of the world’s blood and organ trade. Inspired by the underground art scene of Los Angeles and the diversity within it after developing relationships with humans, Slater, Draven and Frederika Corva decide to form their own clan dedicated to separating themselves from their family history of exploitation and war crimes.

THE CAST

MAIN

SLATER CORVA - the self appointed “cult leader” who possesses vampiric charisma and charm, enabling him to get whatever he wants. This has resulted in him developing a god complex and becoming too lazy to keep up with the responsibilities of his clan. His way of supplementing this to avoid being completely disgraced is to begin hosting underground events to attract goths as willing victims to be turned or fed off of. He thrives off of the adrenaline of the LA club scene and the substances he can acquire through it. He is stuck in the 80s and it’s apparent by how he dresses himself and the type of music he listens to. Visual inspiration: Young Nick Cave, Daniel Ash, Cillian Murphy DRAVEN CORVA - Slater’s older brother, a reclusive artist type who prefers to lurk in the shadows and immerse himself in his own creations. He enjoys horror movies, comic books, coffee, art, and much less abrasive music than his brother. There is a secret he has been harboring since he was young that everyone seems aware of, but he insists on remaining a very private person, only confiding in Frederika since they end up spending more time together and attend art school. Visual inspiration: Gerard Way, Morrissey FREDERIKA CORVA - the boys’ younger cousin who is basically the vampiric equivalent of a trust fund baby. Spoiled by her father Friedrich and enabled fully by her mother Patricia, Freddie is entitled and lacks the life experience that Slater and Draven gained from their less than ideal life. She is the more boisterous and peppy of the trio, often convincing them to step out of their comfort zones and become more “cultured”. She is optimistic, idealistic, and her head is often in the clouds. Though exclusively romantically attracted to women, as a vampire she claims male victims often when she and Slater go out clubbing. Visual inspiration: Heather Baron, Nancy Downs EVE FISHER - a bartender at the goth club the trio begins regularly attending. Hailing from Chicago, she came to LA to try her hand at acting and modeling and after being pressured to create more adult content decided to find a normal job. After a night out with a vampire, she was turned, and she now has to cope with a life altering transformation and a link between her and a man she barely knows. Visual inspiration: Sophie Thatcher, Ruby Modine

OTHERS

THE ADVISOR - a vampire who has helped Friedrich and namely Karl out of any financial trouble. He is the only reason this family has stayed well off over the centuries. He makes routine visits to the hotel to help the heirs decide how to spend their finite funds until they figure out what they’re going to do. Visual inspiration: Sidney Poitier KARL CORVA - a con artist and serial non-monogamist with a penchant for drugs, women and parties. He becomes nearly disgraced as a vampire after infiltrating ACULA corporation to deal in pharmaceuticals and illegal surgical procedures. His way of preying on humans became making them dependent on him to supply party favors and keep them beautiful. The hotel would have never been purchased in Los Angeles if Karl hadn’t already been there making all his connections. Visual inspiration: Older Nick Cave, Andrew Eldritch FRIEDRICH CORVA - an artistic visionary and successful hotel tycoon who offers his brother a chance at redemption by offering him to go in on a business venture with him. A devout father, loving husband to a treacherous woman, and well loved individual among vampires and humans alike, Friedrich revolutionized the way vampires do business with humans. It was more profitable to keep humans happy and healthy than to simply drain them of their blood, something ACULA has always been interested in. Visual inspiration: Robert Smith, Aurelio Voltaire ELENA CORVA - Slater and Draven’s mother who supported them throughout all their artistic endeavors and basically raised them on her own while Karl was busy with his schemes. She escaped being married off to one of her older relatives by marrying Karl, and still felt like a prisoner until she had two boys who became her refuge. Visual Inspiration: PJ Harvey, Hope Sandoval DETLEV CORVA - The oldest living descendent of the Corva lineage who evades being slain by entombing himself and hibernating for hundreds of years while his family continues his legacy. His story is one of rags to riches after he was left orphaned by vampire hunters. He ended up finding a new home with a traveling people who were persecuted throughout all of Europe. Through his transient lifestyle, he honed his skills of vampiric manipulation to climb corporate ranks. Visual inspiration: Peter Steele CINDER - The owner of Postmortus who fires Slater when she finds out she’s been working at her bar without notice. She is a no-nonsense vampire who uses her bar to find and provide prey and she doesn’t want anyone coming in and ruining that. She develops a relationship with Detlev who comes to visit the hotel and see what his relatives are up to. Infuriated by a sugardaddy arrangement the two seem to form, Slater enlists the help of the financial advisor to help him purchase his own business. Cinder is also the head of a Clan of black and mixed race vampires. Visual Inspiration: Roxy Vail VINCENT PADAVONA - Eve’s gay coworker and roommate with a darker edge and an even darker secret. A bartender by day and a clubkid by night, Vincent harbors a dark and twisted secret. Not only does he engage in debaucherous sex acts with questionable and dangerous men, but he himself is questionable and quite dangerous. He’s impulsive, angers easily, and is very promiscuous. Visual inspiration: Dave Vanian, Harley Poe WESLEY CZAJKOWSKI - a twink goth model and musician who is involved in various underground publications and art scenes in LA. He develops a fascination with Slater and his band that becomes a romantic relationship with a set of challenges for both of them. As Wesley begins to uncover evidence that Slater is a vampire, he introduces the clan to a whole sea of people who dream of being immortal and young forever. Visual inspiration: John Koviak, Andy Biersack LILLIAN HARWOOD - a powerful and imposing red headed vampiress who is Freddie’s boss at a fetish fashion magazine called SLEEK. She is very business savvy and successful, serving as Freddie’s inspiration and a role model even outside of business. She helps improve the Corva’s lives by bringing guests to the hotel. Visual Inspiration: Kat Dennings, Katherine Isabelle RAVEN DU LAC - a teenage dhampyr who is part of Cinder’s clan, assuming the role of an honorary younger sister after her parents are slain by her mother’s jealous ex lover. She is just about at the age where she is going to fully transform. She develops a romantic relationship with a Lycan drifter that Slater allows to live at the hotel. The two of them bond over how they just want to be normal human teenagers and try to find a way through magick that they can cure themselves. This ends up going horribly wrong. Visual inspiration: Sofia Bryant MART “MARTLET” - a teenage drifter who rides a motorcycle he built himself after he causes an “incident” at his school and skips town. Slater kicks him out of Pen & Sword after finding out he’s been drinking underage and notices something is off about him, but cannot tell what it is due to never having encountered a werewolf in his life. One night while he’s coming home from work, Slater finds a giant humanoid wolf creature devouring a stray dog behind the hotel and runs inside to make sure everyone is safe. As the sun comes up, Mart turns back into his human self and everyone discovers that he’s a werewolf and that it is also his 16th birthday. Visual inspiration: Kedar Williams-Stirling, Caleb McLaughlin AZURI SAIGE - a lab grown, genetically modified vampire who was developed and raised by ACULA. She seems to completely lack empathy or any emotion and her sole purpose is to be bred with another full blooded vampire.

ANTAGONISTS

FRANCINE FRANZETTI - a vampire hunter descended from a long line of vampire hunters that have specifically been hunting the Corvas since the renaissance period. She is supposedly also a descendent of Leonardo Da Vinci’s protege who was a vampire hunter and developed unique weapons that would specifically be used in eradicating them. She quits her job as a bartender at Postmortus after finding out that the owner is a vampire and says she’s getting a government job, when really she is employed by the V.I.P.U., an organization similar to interpol that deals with supernaturally based offenses. They investigate vampires and their involvement with the wealthy elite of the world. MARIANA CROSS - a detective who goes rogue after she begins to uncover a string of murders committed by what she swears can only be vampires. Everyone at work thinks she’s insane, but she doesn’t give up her investigation. While chasing the supposed suspect through the streets one night, she encounters Francine who tells her that she’s not crazy and that everything she’s managed to uncover is true. She also offers her the prospect of a new job that could better utilize her expertise and the evidence she’s collected. A romance develops between her and her new partner in solving crime. CELINE ACEVES - a werecoyote whose attacks attract the attention of Detective Cross, but she especially doesn’t bother telling anyone about that. She ends up being the introduction to an entire pack of werepeople that live like junkyard dogs, squatting in an abandoned mansion. They see the hotel as a much nicer place to occupy. FELIX RUTHVEN - former right hand man and partner in crime of Karl Corva. He’s a rat and a double crosser who re-enters the Corva’s lives with ill intentions. He provides Slater with a cut supply of drugs that infect humans with vampirism. This causes the numbers of turnings to spike an abnormal amount, alerting the attention of the vampiric counsel as well as the V.I.P.U. Felix entirely blames Slater for this since hardly any more stock has gone missing from ACULA’s pharmacy as it normally does and he basically fed people sugar pills that gave them the illusion of feeling high due to a parasite. Visual inspiration: Blixa Bargeld CLOTHILDE CORVA - the Corvas’ great great aunt (no blood relation). She played her cards right with hopes of marrying into the family, but was rejected by Detlev. Deciding to focus her studies in medicine and marketing, she began a career in vampiric politics as well. Eventually Clo made her rounds through all the Corva men and landed on Karl in the prime of his life. The marriage was a sham, but the name change stuck. She delusionally attempted to gain some respect for the Corva name with her accomplishments, hoping Detlev would want to be with her, but that never happened. She is now the head of ACULA, a medical corporation built on human sacrifice and commodifying their health. DR. IVY HOLLOWAY - a daywalker biologist who works for ACULA. Her obsession with body modification went even further than tattoos and piercings. Becoming something no longer human was an extreme change that wouldn’t cause her to have to forgo her professional appearance. That still wasn’t enough for her however, and she was a willing participant in being turned through scientific means. Ivy gained the favor of ACULA for her dedication to their mission and for her willingness to remove her humanity completely. The side effects from her biochemical changes have caused a permanent personality change, according to other staff members. In a cruel twist of fate, she has the urge to bite other vampires, not just humans. Through her high ranking position at ACULA, she is able to feed off of patients and experiments on them for her own sadistic entertainment. Visual representation: Paulie Perrett

ACULA Medical Corporation Advanced Cellular and Unconventional Lifeform Analysis, founded by Vladislaus Von Schauden, is at the forefront of scientific research, particularly in the field of vampire, human and human-vampire hybrid biology. The corporation conducts groundbreaking experiments aimed at understanding the altered dynamics of various living organisms. Dark ancient magick is used by the corporation to account for things human science cannot. ACULA's laboratories become grounds for controversial experiments, blurring ethical boundaries, and their founder draws inspiration from morally reprehensible practices during WWII. ACULA's pharmaceutical ventures serve as both a source of immense wealth and a cover for their controversial activities. The creation of Super Vampires through genetic manipulation is a central goal, leading to ethical debates within the vampire community. At the heart of ACULA's sinister agenda lies the hidden ambition to eradicate the human race through genetic manipulation, raising significant public outrage and condemnation. The corporation's morally questionable experiments become a symbol of ethical dilemmas within the Corva’s lives, after Karl starts working for them and steals from them. The corporation dominates the global blood, organ, and pharmaceutical trade, invisibly exerting control over supply chains and international policies. Their global puppeteering extends into political and economic realms, manipulating world events from the shadows. ACULA's control over vital surgeries and influence in pharmaceuticals shapes human-vampire relations, creating a complex web of relationships, power struggles, and resistance movements all over the world.

As the narrative unfolds, protagonists within the story embark on a journey to unveil the extent of ACULA's influence, leading to high-stakes confrontations and moral dilemmas as they resist the corporation's malevolent designs.

Im writing something with vampires and i wanted to know everyone's opinion!

I’m writing a vampire story and wanna know how would most vampires view racism, Covid, war, homelessness, and other problems today(these topics would be briefly mentioned in the story) would they even care about human problems, no right or wrong answer just curious

Suis-je français ou/ or, am I english ? Vampire, I don’t know why

Does anyone know any good slow burn vampire romances? Something where the relationship isn’t immediately “woah let’s have sex I’m a horny vampire.” I want my vamp to be a gentleman!! (or woman)

Book, movie, or show is fine.

I've been wanting to get permanent fangs for a while now but I'm worried they will fuck up my orthodontic work and my bite alignment. I've also heard some stories about them not being properly bonded and people swallowing them in their sleep or when they eat. Just really wanting to know if they're worth it.

I decided to add a new aspect to the vampires of my universe, they are the natural predators of humans or rather the substitute predators.

See, in my world there was a certain virus at the dawn of humanity and other Homonins (I hope I’m using this right) subspecies that acted as these creatures’ natural predator. This would be classified as a Zombie virus. It basically acted like a normal zombie virus you see in movies, kills the host and pilots the body to feed on the living or turn them. This way the virus inside them fed on the nutrients the body consumed. This Virus combined with the last ice age wiped out other hominids, however, some of the Virus became preserved in the ice. Humans only survived because our nervous systems were more resilient against the Virus.

The Virus was discovered by a scientist from a highly advanced civilization long into my world’s past. 5k years ago. At the time a war was on the horizon and this scientist believed the Virus was the key to saving lives, by creating an unkillable soldier. Thus, through a combo of magic and science the Virus was turned into the elixir that made the first vampire. Which was the scientist.

The thing is about vampires is that their hunger for humans is limited to the blood and they are less likely to kill you than a zombie.

Honestly, I only came up with this because I was pissed at some of the vampire discourse of a show I watch. Now I really like this idea.

An art commission by artist TwistedUtopia on Twitter (X) of my one of my main heroes and the villain from my novel in development, Return of the Beast King. Return of the Beast King is a post-apocalyptic vampire novel featuring hybrid monsters, a fight for survival and the return of a Vampire God who was presumed lost to time. Aimed publishing date is in mid-June. Can you tell who is which? 👀🦇

Pat Robertson

For me it was two scenes

When Frank finds the book with the title 'And there were none" thinking its a way out but it turned out Abigail was screwing with them and he has that funny looking annoyed face

When Sammy mistakes the onions for garlic

In a world where vampires are normal, if a vampire was convicted of forcibly turning a human into a vampire, would it be considered bioterrorism or would forcible turning be a category all of its own? I’m trying to make a courtroom scene feel as accurate as possible and would love some advice!

Do stronger vampires sometimes kill and suck the blood 🩸 of weaker or lesser vampires? Speaking of that how would a person distinguish between a super strong and or Elite vampires vs weaker/lesser vampires?

-Posted from my Wolf Cave, with my Silver Bullet necklace, Plaid Shirt all the while eating Garlic.

So I saw the film, rather enjoyed it, but caught myself wondering by the end, is Abigail her father's biological daughter or just some orphan he picked up off the street and turned cause by the hints dropped in the film it almost seems like thats what happened. She calls him father and he seems to hold SOME kind of affection for her but she mentions that he "thought he wanted a child then seemed to lose interest" but also that she hated one particular room in the mansion because it was the room her father turned her in. Its also mentio ed that her father doesnt love her anymore and she does what she does to try and win his love back. They dont come right out and say Abigail's father is Dracula FYI, the only "hint" we get to that is that they are both supposedly centuries old and that this film is a revamp of the film Dracula's Daughter.
