Hello fellow Armor Gamers. I'm an avid writer and I've started planning a story called Dark Reign. It's a vampire story and it takes place during our time in the city of Seattle. I'll be posting tidbits about it along and along and I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
No, they don't. Vampires have their own communities that humans don't know about. When humans look at the school they see a Christian private school, a glamour is in place, in fact, glamours are in place around all vampire communities because they think humans will attack them.
Hey I love the idea for this story. I can't wait to see how it develops. Have you already started writing it? A word of advice.. If you're basing it on the Twilight vampires, don't make them too similar...
I'm also a general writer. . .I write whatever. This sounds interesting. . .but it's a delicate balance between Twilight and originality if you're using vampires in a 'New-Age' setting.
Can't judge much until you post some of those ramblings I read about on the first page of the thread...although, vampires are cool. I hope you have an interesting take on them.
Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for... After digging through tons of paper I have finally found my first draft (I couldn't find the second one... It's better)! My version of vampires! ~ Enjoy.
Vampires worship the Goddess Nyx. This is why people believe a cross hurts a vampire, but it just annoys them. Vampires don't like trying to be converted. The cross has no effect what-so-ever.
Some vampires are born with an allergic reaction to garlic. Vampires do eat human food, and most enjoy Italian cuisine.
Vampires have very fair skin so they can't take much sun. The prefer to travel at night but can go out for short periods of time during the day. Half vampires and Innocent vampires are able to go out into the sun with no consequences. Vampires DO NOT burst into flames when the sun touches them.
Not all vampires are alike. Some are born, and some are created. Only full blooded vampires can be born, and half vampires can be created. Once every century an "Innocent" vampire is born.
Vampire clans and families each have their own special Marks. Some vampires have many marks while some will only have one. Marks do not show a vampires social status.
Vampires are all born with super speed, the ability to fight, and natural beauty. Some are also born with the ability to heal, levitate, and use compulsion. Vampires normally specialize in one area, but some specialize in more than one.
Im sorry but I can't help feeling you've just taken a few ideas out of Twilight and Darren Shan's Vampire series.

This is pretty much quoted right out of Darren Shan's book.
I think you might have a few original ideas here, dont get me wrong, but perhaps you could throw a totally new take on vampires out there? Perhaps they're allergic to something else? Or they have different appearances to a typical vampire?
Also for the name i very much like Raven Saoirse Deveraux. Mainly because Celeste Antoinette van der Woodsen is too long. Lestrange is a family from Harry Potter Isabella is from Twilight and Swann is a common name used in fantasies.
if you could, make it different from twilight. it wont be much fun then. you should add lots of action. a little kissing scenes and such but mostly horrors. dont make non-drinking vamires, they suck. make vampires and other enemies (not the werewolves, too obvious). the darren shan books of vampire are really good and you might get ideas from reading them, thats all
(not referring to the awkwardly sparkling ones, but the way they act/"work"?
"Poof, is tradition."
BWAHAHAHAH, But I'm up for hearing any sort of vampire things, just make sure to have werewolves in there, as they are the sworn enemies of vampires. The sworn enemies.
Do you know how to avoid those inevitable comparisons to Twilight, abhorrent literary crime that this is?
Make it halfway real.
Not even all the way real. Just halfway. So that the characters aren't projections or pin-ups or their circumstances overbearingly overwrought. Please. I'm begging you, write something that will make us forget.
The way I'd tackle it would be purely from the most realistic perspective possible- writing about the specific group of families that have a porphyrin defect. But then I'd have to make something supernatural out of the natural. Maybe that's better than trying to make something natural out of the supernatural.
