You awake in a dark alley, your head spinning. Reaching up to your neck, you feel a pair of small gashes, but the pain is dull and distant. Curiously, there is no sign of blood around the wound... and at the thought of blood, you find a strange hunger growing within you, unlike anything you've experienced before. Speaking of previous experience, you seem to have a hard time recalling... anything. Even your name seems just out of reach, on the other side of the fog that has enveloped your mind. You stand up, and attempt to collect your memories.
Roll to establish backstory.

((New to forum games here?))
We are the son... of... nah, let's go drink blood.
-
You try to focus, but nothing comes back. You're just left standing in an empty alley looking vaguely confused. You decide this is probably a waste of your time. Something about this hunger is preventing you from thinking straight- better to address that right away. You set off in search of a meal.
[5] You consider your options. Some roast chicke- no, no, that won't satisfy your craving. You know you need something very particular to satisfy yourself, but you can't quite place a finger on it.. it has to be liquid, yes. Some soup, maybe. Chowder? No, no. That won't do. It's far too... thick. Tomato soup, perhaps? Closer, but there's something missing. You want... something metallic. It sounds strange, but as soon as you think it, you know it's true. Then it hits you. You want blood. Fresh, warm blood. You've never felt so certain about anything before in your life. It has to be blood. You see a vagrant sleeping a few dozen meters off. You've never been especially scrupulous, but assault- that's a bit much. Nonetheless, you approach closer, drawn by instinct, until your head is a few inches away from his crumpled form. Then, in what seems like an instant, you find yourself at his throat, fangs- whose presence you have just discovered- embedded deep in his jugular, rapidly draining his body of precious, delicious, and deeply satisfying blood. My god. You're a vampire.

Ensure that we withdraw a safe (for the victim) amount of blood. Immediately report our condition to the proper (legal) authorities.
-
[1]. A voice in the back of your head reminds you that people need blood to live. You consider stopping. You even try pulling your head back a little bit. It doesn't work. The blood is so delicious that you find yourself in something almost like a trance, enraptured by the sweet call of precious hemoglobin and assorted fluids, savoring every last drop as it glides down- oh shit. He's dead.
[2]. You screwed up. A man is dead. You need to get help. Surely someone out there can help you. Some sort of doctor has to have studied compulsions of this type before. But no, that won't work. Someone is going to find the body. If you go to a doctor, they'll put two and two together, and your head is going to roll. You might have terrible impulse control, but you're not suicidal.
-
Run as fast as we can. Try find some where to hide.
-
How much blood is on our clothes? Put the body in a nearby dumpster. Could we perhaps turn into a bat? Or a low-hanging fog?
-
Use new aquired vampire powers to leave at the speed of light. We have no identity right now, so who caares
-
Check the clothing on the body. If an article of our clothing is stained and theirs is not, swap the two.
-
Don't swap the two, wear his and dispose of ours far away. We shouldn't leave anything with our DNA behind.

What era is this? Do they have DNA testing?

[6] You've got to run. Someone is going to find the body, and if you're still standing here, it's curtains for you. Your panic overwhelms you, and instead of settling into a steady jog, you run as hard as you can in no particular direction, and find yourself moving almost painfully fast. The air is whipping by with incredible speed, and anything not directly in front of you has been blurred into a vague smear of color. You begin to wonder how this is even possible before slamming into the side of a small shop right across from where the alley meets a real street.
[3] Well, that was unpleasant. And loud. There's no way you haven't attracted someone's attention. You had better hide. You spy a dilapidated church a few buildings off. It has some sort of notice pinned to the door, and as you approach closer, you notice that the door is half torn from its hinges. Perfect. You attempt to force your way inside, only to feel your insides wrench about horribly as your skin begins to burn. You fall to your knees, and the feeling slowly fades. Something is very wrong here, but you don't have time to think about that. You still need to hide. At the end of the street, you spy a hovel in similar condition. On the door, a notice declares that the building has been condemned for "A Most Unusual and Irreparable Surplus of Rattes, Moldes, and other Creatures constituting evidense of an advanced State of Decay". It'll have to do.
[6] You consider going back for the body and hiding it or stealing some clothing, but if there was anyone around, you've inevitably attracted their attention already. Better to lie low. Looking back on your condition, you find your previous conclusion has only been reaffirmed. Vampirism is simply the only thing that fits. You have heard stories of vampires exhibiting strange, transformative powers- reshaping themselves into bats or clouds of mist to escape from their enemies. Perhaps you can do such a thing as well. You focus deeply, concentrating on the form of a bat... small little snub nose, fur everywhere, enormous wings, tiny little clawed feet, shar- and you feel something change. Opening your eyes, you look down, and find that you've been transformed into an enormous bat. Instinctually spreading your wings, you bump into the sides of the hovel. This form is not going to work especially well right now, and the hunger growing within you suggests that perhaps it should be used sparingly elsewhere. You release your focus and find yourself swiftly returning to a more conventional form.

You consider leaving at the speed of light. You had no idea that light even had a speed. Does anyone know that light has a speed? It probably doesn't. The strange things your brain comes up with.. but as far as leaving goes, no, you can't do that. You've got a reasonable hiding spot, but if anyone called the guard in to investigate, it's only a matter of time before their patrols take them along this particular street as well.
[3] You try to recall the year, thinking that it may prove of importance at some point, but nothing comes up. The current monarch... again, nothing. Curious.
-
go to an opiot den and drink their blood. This will undoubtedly make us hammered.
-
You need new clothes and you need them asap. Find a rock and wait for someone (of the same sex and not the police) to walk by. As they go by, call out for help and that you cant breath. Feign injury on the ground. When they don't find a pulse, and say you're dead, prove just how undead you are and knock them out. Take clothes, cash, shoes, and anything else of use.

We will probably drink their blood anyways.

Sure, but after we get clothes. Whats why we picked a blunt rock, to minimize blood.

+1 no way it can go wrong

[1]. You decide that if you're going to hide, you might as well steal someone's identity. You go outside, and spot a nice, sizeable rock: perfect for braining someone. You lie down in the middle of the road, ready to pretend that you've been hit by a carriage to draw in some unsuspecting victim. As you wait, you hear a faint thumping sound... and then a slightly less faint thumping sound... and then an oddly loud thumping sound that seems like it's approaching you. You consider getting up to take a look, but before you have the opportunity, a carriage rolls directly over your leg. It doesn't hurt as much as you expect, but that's a very low bar. The carriage rolls on: either the driver didn't notice, or he just doesn't care. Your leg seems to be broken.
-
I ask myself, "why'd I leave the nice secluded hovel where no one would see me whack someone and instead go out into the street where I'd be seen by civilians and police alike? Silly me..."
-
Use vampire abilities to heal our leg. Nom some lone passerby in an alleyway.

No (-1).
Go to the proper legal authorities, and tell them the whole story. Break down bawling at the part when you kill a guy.
What I can never get about vampires is why they never seem to register/report themselves to the people who can help them and possibly cure their condition. Instead, they go out and voluntarily kill more people and secure their fate as an outlaw. Why?

-1. Considering we're in an age where monarchs are important and vampires exist, we'll likely be burned at the stake.

Claim to be a witness to the murder and tell the police that a vampire ate this bloke right next you and the only reason you survived is because the vamp was so bloody full. Cry at the end. Ask for some clothes not covered in blood. Don't smile.

There is a reason why it's generic and why other things are generic. Simply because they are fun.
And plus a game where we go to the authorities to get cured then probably get cured sounds like the most boring game in existence.
-
You can, just say, go to hospital and steal all blood bags there. Is that generic or unorthodox?
-
Considering a carriage, not a car, just broke our leg, we may have difficulty acquiring blood bags in hospitals.

[3] For some reason, you keep having this urge to go to the constable and turn yourself in. But that would be stupid. Really, really damn stupid. Best case scenario, they think you're mad and you spend the rest of your life rotting in the asylum. It's more likely that they'll just kill you. But first things first. You need to deal with this leg before you can make any sort of long term plan. Unfortunately, you have no medicine, no equipment, and no training... and yet, you feel almost as if you can.. move the bone fragments. Concentrating intensely, you manage to shift them a little, but the pain is incredible. Still, you fight through it, and manage to reassemble your leg after many minutes of mindblowing agony. You look down, and notice that you've lost a lot of blood.

[2]. Oh god, you're so hungry. So very, very hungry. You don't know if it's because a large portion of your blood is now running into the cracks between the cobblestones, or has some more supernatural origin, but regardless, you need to eat. You get up, wincing as you put weight on your newly healed leg, and look in the alley behind the hovel for an unsuspecting bloodbag. There's no one to be found. You do, however, spy a rat. Bracing yourself for what you can't imagine will be a pleasant taste, you grab it and dig in. Almost immediately, you begin vomiting. Rat blood is a no go, it seems.

Hide near the a street and when we see a lone passerby pounce. Then go find a nice dark place to hibernate
-
So, get this, we wait in the hovel. Shout, from in the hovel, wait for someone one to come into the hovel, and bash them with a blunt object in the hovel :P. And if we can't manage that, well, we may as well burn ourselves at the stake.

Opiate den would be a nice place to chomp and wait, you would become high as a kite, but oh well

If we manage this one, i'll vote for the den. May as well.

Fine, we don't have to turn ourselves in, but may we please leave people alive after we've drained them? It helps keep the witch/vampire hunters away.

We are clearly too op for vampire hunters

You want us to leave witnesses!?
Nah but seriously they'd probably just become vampires too and that could make things complicated. Also, we need as much blood as possible to further evolve our vampiric abilities.

Why do so many people want to be nice? Especially when indiscriminately murdering people and drinking their blood is so much fun.

Alright, that's it. I'm done. ATHATH out. Peace.

Aside from regeneration (which we'll evidently need quite a bit), we should get a Charm ability so we can lure people and talk our way out of trouble. Then it's just a matter of eating until we don't even need that ability and can just kill/eat everyone in sight.
