<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">The story so far...</span></strong><br/><br/>4/12/2016<br/><br/>Things are just starting out. Characters are establishing their points of origination in the story. A lunar eclipse is imminent and will signal a coordinated attack on all of them, and others.<br/><br/>Most attackers will be vampires. These will differ from those in the comics to make it more appropriately street-level. While they will be at peak human speed and strength (regardless of their actual physical condition) they will also be operating as if their adrenal glands are in full drive at all times. This means small wounds (unless in a critical point like the heart) will be shrugged off due to pain tolerance but they still have all the standard weaknesses: Decapitation and penetration of the heart will result in disintegration, holy water will burn their skin off as will sunlight or artificial UV light (as will most fire in general) or any extremely powerful blow that would cause otherwise fatal harm to most living things (i.e. getting a fist-sized hole blown through their chest even if it misses the heart). Leaving a body intact in this condition and unattended, however, may lead to them eventually regenerating, and their consumption of blood will hasten this process as well. Being bitten by a vampire can transmit the virus unless an antidote (which will be readily available) is administered within 24-28 hours. Those with abnormal genetics (Cage and Jones, for example) or with vampire genetics already (Blade) are immune.
