Winter had come early, but, in spite of all the early snow and ice, the holiday season was progressing normally. That is, until a shadow descended upon the people of the NTWF. A strange sickness started spreading around. People became fatigued, pale, anemic. Reports of sleepwalking were reported by neighbors. The doctors were baffled by this new sickness, but despite their best efforts nothing they did brought them any closer to figuring out what was causing it. So too did their attempts to help the patients go, who, despite their best treatments, kept becoming weaker and weaker.
Finally, the first death occurred in the Neopia district.
The tragic loss was morned forum wide, the funeral one of the biggest events in the history of the NTWF. A grim and tragic start to what was supposed to be a festive time of the year.
Days afterwards, people reporting seeing the recently departed wandering the town at night. When they looked into the crypt, the decease's coffin still lay undisturbed. Mistaken identity, a trick of the darkness, zombies, all of these options were thrown about. The truth was far more ominous.
A sleigh pulled by two great dogs arrived in town late into the night on the first day of December. The hooded stranger got out of the sleigh and stood looking around. All that was visible was the smile spread across the face of the stranger.
“What fun it is to ride and sing a slaying song tonight...”That's right, NTWF, time to get your inner Buffy on! Come this December I'd like to present you with this story. A story about vampires, the people they eat, and the people who hope to kill them. Not a sparkly or emotionally conflicted vampire in sight. (The slayer handled them first. They make a LOT of noise with their whining.) So, if you'd like to take part in this, post and give me your permission. Of course, remember that you might be a vampire or prey, so if you're uncomfortable with such a role, then tell me so and I'll try to find you some other role. Some info about your NTWF personas would be appreciated too, so that I can write you as accurately as possible. So, let's all gather around the fireplace, roast some chestnuts, and sing a slaying song tonight! Edits with tags for those who have asked: Shinko, Gelquie, if you don't have an established persona, just a description of yourself and your basic personality would help greatly.

Coaster is a little bit deranged and would probably err towards the hammy side of things, whichever camp he ends up being in. In any case, use him if you wish.

You can use me! 8D
I'm not sure what to say about my NTWF persona...I mean, there's Mafia!Terra, but you don't have to use her if you don't want to xD (On the other hand, feel free to use her or some variation of her if you like...)

Not sure what to say about my persona... Depends on what you need to know, I guess.

This sounds so awesome. I'm too new to have an established persona, but if you're in need of an extra character at any point, feel free to abduct me! * As a vamp, I'd be focused on enjoying my (new) body. Before feeding, I'd probably keep a victim alive somewhere and play with them for a while, to make sure that they feel good and do things they enjoy before I OMNOMNOM. * As a slayer, I would be more like a stalker fangirl with too violent ways of showing my affection. Added details: * I am a silly blonde and may or may not have tentacles * I don't celebrate any particular holidays But those are just examples, you can also make me different, I trust you, you evil genius.

hahaha i'm already fatigued and pale and anemicYou can use me! :3 The fictional persona of Selm is listed here if you want to take a look. You don't have to follow it to the letter of course, but in case you wanna double-check to make sure something is canon behaviour or aren't sure how they would act in a certain situation. My ideal role would be some sort of neutral character who isn't really aligned with any one group but perhaps works with vampires/slayers/citizens/etc. at various points for various reasons, but if that doesn't work out then I'd prefer being a vampire to anything else :0 But whatever you write me as is totally cool with me! Also, my persona is essentially a genderless space deity, so when/if you decide to write them I would like you to use gender-neutral pronouns(they/them) ^___^ Thank you! This story looks like it's gonna be fun >:3

You have my permission to use me as you see fit! Don't think I'd fit prey but I'm always happy to be a vampire or a slayer. :3
My NTWF persona you can see in my avatar. Just in case you need a description, female with brown, wavy hair reaching just past her shoulders. Round face, fairly pale skin and dragon eyes, which have electric blue pupils surrounded by cyan "whites". Medium height, average build, purple dragon wings. Wears a purple robe with silver edges and a dark purple cloak to cover up the wings, dark brown, practical boots. But you can skimp on the wings if it doesn't fit the story.
Can't wait to see it!

You can use either or both of the characters (or even a combination, if you want) that I will post. I can imagine both of them being either a vampire or a slayer.
Ian Wolf-Park (Threads of Time version and the closest to my forum persona)
Appearance: Skinny build, short black hair, green eyes, semi-frameless glasses, turtleneck (usually gray, although it has varied from red to green), black dress pants and socks, dress shoes, black fedora with wolf ears attached and black trenchcoat.
Other information: Often makes snarky and/or witty remarks, depending on the situation. Is probably the most friendly person one will meet despite him being on alert for any possible dangers. Fluent in all animal languages.
Combat abilities (if applicable): Excels in hand to hand combat, but can be a pragmatist if the need arises. Specializes in healing magic alongside flame magic, making him an oddity.
Doctor Evan Parker (Aifam Cove Mafia Roleplay)
A gentleman at heart, Evan is very polite, earning him the respect of most of the town unless someone really ticks him off (which rarely happens) and is often frustrated when things don't go well. As a vet, he wears the standard lab coat worn by doctors. Has the ability to calm even the most aggressive animal with just a touch of his hand. Carries a uniquely designed dagger

Alright awesome! And I forgot I do have a "persona" of sorts, I just don't think of it as such because it's not really a character, just a prop I use as a stand-in for myself when I draw pictures. I represent myself online with what basically amounts to a drawing of myself with tan kitty ears and a tail that are tipped in white. I haven't updated the reference in ages though, since I don't draw this avatar much, so fair warning; the reference art is ancient. shinkoryu14.deviantart.com/art/Sona-Reference-190044629There's a slightly more recent illustration here (still almost a year old, pf), but it's not wearing my usual clothes because... graduation. 8D shinkoryu14.deviantart.com/art/Congratulations-369466082If the cat ears/tail are a no-go in your story, that's fine. I include them mostly because they make the avatar more expressive. The only additional note in terms of appearance that I've been meaning to update for the ref is that I'm nearsighted and wear glasses when driving/in a public setting/watching TV. Anyway, personality-wise I'm fairly laid back for the most part. I greatly enjoy making snarky quips, sarcasm, and irony, but always in fun. If someone seems insulted, I backpedal very fast and often get overly apologetic. (People tell me all the time I apologize way to much.) I'm also asexual-aromantic, so no romance subplots. ; D Sorry bloiders. Use me for whatever you like. Kill me, turn me into a monster, make me kill the monsters, it's your call.

Bumping this, as I really could use a larger cast, like some admins. Stal, we mentioned it on the bloids, but I just wanted confirmation, do I have your permission to include you?
