The New Vampire Council

With the fall of The Former Vampire Council, seven arise and take the coveted thrones over the Vampires of the World

The Sandman Title: Lord of Dreams and Psionics. Servants: David Yarbrough & Penelope Winston Line Specifics: Feed from Slumber(Energy Transference during REM cycles), Psionic Powers (Everything except Precognition), Dream Control, Dream Imprisonment Background: He holds the ability to not only freely move through dreams, but indefinitely trap beings in their dreams for as long as he chooses to. The most powerful psychic Vampire in existence, his limit has yet to be charted. The greatest loss to the former Vampire Council, due to his appearance he has spent the past few thousand years hidden away, using his Servants to do his bidding. He enjoys to punish souls who have done wrong, locking them in such mental horror for their crimes.

Aries Title: Queen of Strength and Possession. Servants: None Line Specifics: Feed from Strength (Heart, Will, etc), Persuasion(Vocal Commands), Puppeteer(Control Beings through power), Possession(To transfer herself into another body), Essence Transfer(Can transfer consciousnesses into other bodies) Background She holds the power to possess beings completely, to transfer herself and her power into them, which has many believe she is the creator of the former council member known as The Traveler. She feeds on strength, the more heart, willpower and physical strength a being uses, the more she feeds from it. She is believed to be from the last civilization before the world's terrain changed, kept prisoner by the former Council, once she was freed she joined in the destruction of them and took what was rightfully her's.

Uruk Title: Lord of Flesh and Blood. Servants: Fryste and Rahne Line Specifics: Feed from Touch, Reform Flesh and Bone (Himself and others), Physical Control(From a Distance), Call the Blood(Bleed from a distance) Background His power manifests itself physically in not only himself, but especially others. Able to control flesh and blood in beings, even from a distance, from reforming, to draining, to even... dehydrating. He is a highly calculative being, his Servants walked the Earth for him while he slumbered for three-thousand years, but had arisen to take out the former Vampire Council.

Shao Title: Jin-Mao Emperess, Queen of Beasts and Instincts. Servants: Hyaku(Human) Line Specifics: Feed from Animalistic Instincts, Change Instincts(Others), Call All Animals, Shadow/Darkness Manipulation Background She holds power over the instincts of beings, feeding from their use and can change them to her will. She also has the ability to call all animals. Her father in both life and death, Quai Jin-Mao, the head of the Jin-Mao Line, sacrificed himself in the battle against the former Vampire Council, being on of the pivotal points towards their demise, where Shao rose in power to take his place.

Sotanos Title: Thanatos King, Lord of the Dead and Lust Servants: Elizabeth Gryffin & Rachel Carter Line Specifics: Necromancy(All), Succubi/Incubus(All), Feed from the Dead(Drain the energy and powers of the dead/undead) Background He holds power over the dead and undead alike, being able to bend, control and destroy souls, using the powers of Lust as a cover for the vastness that resides within. In life he was born a Necromancer. In death he became what the former Vampire Council feared the most. For centuries he used his Necromancy to hide from the former Vampire Council, then when the fatal strike happened, he stood victorious as one of seven.

February 9th, 2010 - February 13th, 2010.

Some called it a prophesied date in Vampire Lore. One that was not spoken about and only the much, much older souls knew about. The longest five nights in Paris, even mortal scientists could not explain why this night ran for so long and they will be baffled for ages to come. Some present for this say that it was Vampiric powers that extended the nights. But that is just speculation.

The strike was surgical, it began with releasing those kept captive by the former Council, then spread with the declaration of this war by the destruction of the Vampires in the city of Paris. The former Council combined their forces and prepared for a victorious fight... one that quickly changed tides. The former Council quickly got their bound Servants to a safe location, fearing that if someone attacked their Servants... it would kill them in the process.

The Harlequin actually stepped back, leaving the former Council to fend for themselves and they did valiantly... for the first night. Those present tell the same tale, when the sun rose on the 10th most collapsed and slumbered. All of them state they had arisen right in the thick of the fighting still going on. Some even had to pull physical weapons out of their bodies for feeble attempts at killing them while they were dead for the day.

Seven Vampires made it to the former Council and the epic battle that ensued is only known by those present within. The rest continued fighting and the end of this strike came in the form of a mass wave of power never felt before. The fall of the former Council caused a chained ripple effect where most Vampires rejoiced.

The tyrant's grip the former Council held on the Vampires of the world was released, no longer were they held back. The older Vampires quickly made moves to gain power, feeling the Council thrones were vacant and they made their bids for them. That thinking was quickly changed when the seven Vampires announced they are the new Council, not by words... but by actions.

The seven swept across Paris in a manner of an hour, destroying all those who attacked. The seven kept together, locking down France and sending an explosive wave of power along the chain of Vampires that still echoes to this night.

It is uncertain what involvement The Sweet Mother has in this as The Harlequin have not been seen or even felt since the strike. One thing is for certain... the world of Vampires has changed and chaos ensues all over the world... but that chaos is being handled and faced head-on... no backing down... no hesitation.
