London. 21st century: the year 2013.
The popular city that once seemed like an average large city, full of regular peoples with regular jobs and regular everyday lives… has changed. Since the beginning of 2009, a suspicious amount of bodies began turning up here and there, some sporting unexplainable punctures in their throat, other's with no sign of trauma at all. But all of these bodies had one thing in common, and that was that they were drained completely. It didn’t just happen in London; but all over the world.
For thousands of years vampires lived their dark lives in secrecy – humans weren't meant to know they existed, and the vampires were good at keeping their secret safe. There were a set of unspoken rules, which kept the secret of vampires contained – but the rules were broken. Vampires became more and more careless, no longer bothering to hide their victims and leaving them out in the open. Some even began flaunting their condition, not bothering to hide it any longer. Human detectives began looking into it and eventually that meant the end of secrecy. Humans became aware that they were not alone, and had to share their world with the vampire race. The discovery of vampires hit the media, and since then, more and more vampires have flocked to London.
It is unknown why the city seems to draw them in, and people have become curious about this strange phenomenon. Meanwhile, humans and vampires are attempting to coexist – though it would appear to some that the vampire race may be trying to take over. The government is about to be infiltrated! Meanwhile scientists and doctors have begun looking for The Cure for Vampirism, and are beginning to have breakthroughs. There are also rumors of a practitioner using vampire blood in experimental tests against cancer. People still turn up dead from attacks every day, but vampires are still being catered too. The human population as a whole seems to have mixed feelings on the issue. There are some who are fascinated and even obsessed with these new creatures, and there are some that are dead set against them. Others just don't really care. Where do you stand?
