The universe of ShadowBlood is an alternate Vampire Hunter D universe. Most of the ideas and
characters are based off of that universe, but because this is My Game **laughs evilly**, I have decided to screw around with
the biology, Society, philosophies, religious beliefs and peoples of this world. I have used various sources as references
for ShadowBlood, including Vampire Hunter D (what little I know of the Novels and Anime), Vampire: The Masquerade by Whitewolf
games, Blade (the movies), The SERRAted Edge books by Mercedes Lackey (No Vampires, but LOTS of elves!!), and the book that
brought the Romanian Vampire folklore into mainstream culture: Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
ShadowBlood is a game based in an alternate Vampire Hunter D universe. The similarities between this alternate Earth - ShadowBlood
- and that of the original VHD Universe - the OTHER- are numerous, as are the differences. Mutants, Vampires and humans are
everywhere. Vampires are sometimes hunted for numerous reasons, as are other creatures, such as Mutants. Magic exists in this
universe under various names and styles, but the power comes from two distinct sources: Naturally occurring and the power
of Dracula. The world is very dark in some areas due to some species moving in and kicking everyone out. Kinda like the Mafia
moving into an old house and chasing away other criminals.
Vampires have ruled over humans (though not as widespread as the original VHD universe) and have made it to space. They have
set up colonies on other planets and have an official space station circling Earth. Vampires are superb scientists and have
learned to synthesize blood so drinking ‘straight from the source’ isn’t needed, or in many cases, wanted.
Dracula is considered a God and is Known as the ‘Sacred Ancestor’. However, unlike the original VHD universe, ShadowBlood‘s
Vampires have always existed along side humans and they often get along. Most Vampires are decent folks, though much darker,
easier to anger and more emotional than their human counter parts. Same thing with the mutants. There was no nuclear explosion
in this world that buggered up everything. That doesn’t mean that things are all fluffy and light here. Many creatures
in ShadowBlood have come from alternate universes, including the original VHD universe, to escape persecution or unwanted
attention. They arrive in ShadowBlood either by accident (naturally occurring dimensional doorways are quite common and people
just meander right through), or due to persecution. They could be considered criminals in their own world either for being
‘different’ or because they really ARE deadly serial killers with a pricey bounty on their head. D, in this universe,
is a Bounty Hunter in practice, but he specializes in hunting down rogue Vampires and Mutants.

If you'd like to play in ShadowBlood, there's three things you must do:
1) Create a character. I have a sample character and character template on the 'CHARACTER TEMPLTE AND OTHER USEFUL STUFF'
page.
2) Submit it to me via email or give me a brief description in the comment box below. I will need to aprove or disapprove
of the char according to game plans, etc. There are some creatures I will not allow, such as the Daemons and overly evil evil
evil characters. I don't mind chars that will screw everyone over, but because I am GOD of this universe **snickers**, I am
the one in charge of the truely evil beasties!!
3)Leave your email with me so I can contact you. That's what the handy dandy comment box below is for **winks**
