<div align="center"><strong>Setting: Modern</strong></div><br/><strong>Time and Place:</strong>The House of Dracula takes place in the modern world, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California - home of politicians, movie stars, the corrupt, the brave, the innocent - and so much more.<br/><br/><strong>Premise:</strong>The premise of this group roleplay is that Dracula has decided to incorporate himself (and his family) more into the modern world. In order to do this, he's uprooted himself and moved across the world. Characters in this game may be "family members" (anyone supernatural really) or newcomers - Vampire offspring he's never met, Werewolves from a different cursed lineage, Innocents who may be turned or consumed by the household, etc. We may even include witches and warlocks (at some point, or as NPC characters).<br/><br/>This move may have stressed ancient relationships or aroused and excited others - leading to tension between everyone involved (if they see fit). It also provides endless opportunities for family members to seek new jobs, entry into the movie business (or gangs, etc.), all of which may draw the attention of others, Dracula himself, or NPCs.<br/><br/><strong>Locations:</strong>The center piece of this roleplay is the Dracula estate, a mansion that has been enchanted to protect vampires against the effects of the sun. Dracula is already resistant to sun's cursed light, but<em>any</em>vampire or demonic creature can live within the domain of the estate without fear of silver, sunlight, or enchanted crosses. The protections also extend to other supernatural beings (werewolves are virtually immune to silver, etc.) As a result of the protections offered, Dracula's home is *the* place to be in the supernatural community. This also affords the characters plenty of reasons to stay there.<br/><br/><strong>Dracula's Rules:</strong>Living under Dracula's thumb is surprisingly simple - if you live on his estate, you pay him for the privilege (and he charges a lot) or you owe him favors. Favors come in all shapes and sizes and are usually not sexual (and mainly keep things interesting). Individual character's relationships with the estate and Dracula are up to the players and should always be fun above all else.<br/><br/><strong>The Estate</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.exoticexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/9.8-Million-Ornate-Mansion-in-California-14.jpg)</div></div>
