Rp ~ Ritual of Blood's purification.

This sunday 18th, a few women of Borghesia made a ritual to purify their body and blood. This first celebration was semi-official due to the absence of a Demonican priest.
Gioia was relieved to run the ceremony in front of a few of her sisters because she was very weak as she fed two violent vampires during a rental before the ritual.

Fortunately, her protector Zarek found her in time and helped her to recover strenght by forcing her to eat something.

The ritual went well and Miss Willow from apothecary was generous with coins. Of course, women of Borghesia made a good sacrifice of their blood.

At the end, the purification at the Bath House brought the ladies in a relaxing and refreshing mood : they finally enjoyed at a hot bath, their body and veins purified from all toxins.

Court Blood Prices Reduced!

Court Blood Prices Reduced!

Special promotion lasts 2 weeks.

The Grand Court of Venexia has Decided to cut the Price of Court Blood Rentals in an effort to promote this vastly underused resource of excellent blood. The Court expects all true Venxian vampires to take advantage of this generous offer while it lasts.Get down to the Guild hall before they all go!

Event ~ Ritual of Blood's purification.

We are Borghesia, Blood of the Court and a lot of vampires rent us to bite and suck the precious red liquid running in our veins.
But, with all that vampires sliding their tongues on our skins, we need to clean up our bodies.
So, the family organize an event to celebrate that purification.

The purification will be celebrate rarely. This will be a particular sunday, the Bloody Sunday of Cuore Prezioso. This time, we will proceed at the ritual this sunday 18th december at 11am (slt).

1. All members of the family will gather on a isle near Isola del Sonno and use bottles of blood to paint and dirty theirs skin. We will mark our bodies to show how we are bleeding for vampires of the Court. ((I create a tattoo with bloody paint))

2. At the Apothecary, every member will make a gift of blood. Of course, we have an agreement with Miss Willow, the owner of the business. The apothecary will give 10 coins eatch for 10% of our blood and 20 coins if you dare to donate 20% . Thank a lot to miss Willow for her participation at our event.

3. If we meet a vampire during our walk toward the Bath House, we may offert our neck to receive a kiss (a true one, not a bite). So, vampire can honour our rank of Blood of the Court, if they wish.

4. At the Bath House, we cleans up our skins and enjoy at the company of our family and friends who joined us for the ritual. Do not be shy, we are precious and beautiful.

Warning ~ Illegal bite

Dear famiglia,

I received some complaints from our members about illegal bites. It seems some vampires do prefer to get free bites and then, avoid to rent a Borghesia !

We should be careful because they don't especially use the force... They also try to seduce you in middle of the street and then, get you excited to feel they fangs in your neck. And at the end, you regret and feel lost once they left you.

I also heard a lot of vampires even dare to attack Borghese to feed on them ! If you are attacked, try to remember who is the guilty vampire. So, we can find the Coven leader and make a report. The vampire who dare to break the Court's rules will get a warning and perhaps a punishement or a trial. Who knows, the rules are to be respected !

If you have any problem with a vampire breaking a rule, feel free to contact me.

Be well, my dear sister and brother,

Gioia Selvaggia.

Event ~ Night for Borghesia.

Juliet and her family organise a 'Borghesia night'.

All Borghese are invited to join a special evening in the company of Lord Doge Mathias.

If you have some questions about the Court and their vampires, feel free to come this sunday 11th december at 11am(stl). Doge Mathias will meet you at the Libraria, the house of Drakuli.

Event ~ Borghesia's party.

I am simply Roxanne. In a past life i was know as Rocksie Alter.

How old are you ?

I am 19 years old.
Can you tell some words about your past and origins ?
I am orphan of an aristocratic Venexian family. When I was 13 years old my father forced me into a political marriage, however, the relationship was annulled four years later, when he no longer needed the backing of the groom's family. While terms of my divorce were being bargained, I was held hostage in a convent, completely isolated from the world whilst my father plotted my next marriage.
Half a year later I attended a ceremony in which judges from the Vatican decreed me to be a virgin. The divorce could be permitted, since as a putative virgin, I could not have consummated my marriage. After the ceremony I was returned to the convent for "safekeeping." Tragically, during my captivity, my entire family was poisoned by my father's enemies. Without a family to sponsor my stay at the convent, I have been turned away to fend for myself in the streets of a city now in the hands of vampires.
Why you chose to be a Blood of the Court, a Borghesia ?
Why ever would a human in my position settle for anything less? I'm an aristocrat and always will be. If i must submit to blood lust, I insist in the surrendering only to the best quality of vampire.

Three defaults
Overly sensual, easily distracted and devious.
If I tell you ‘bite’, what you think about ?
Cold lips on my skin, fangs in my neck, and the delicious pain of complete surrender.
What is the taste of your blood ?
Tangy sweet with a hint of raspberry wine.
What is your worse fear ?
Being ignored.
What do you expect from a vampire ?

I EXPECT nothing but to be a meal, and perhaps offer some other pleasure as well. I would LIKE to be treated with respect if the vampire can find it in it's cold heart.

Food and drink influence the taste of our blood. So, what is your favorite dish and drink ?

I love cheese and chocolate: sensual fruits like pomegranate, pears and figs; the occasional juicy steak; all to be enjoyed with a glass of fine wine.

Tell me your favorite color, clear or dark. This can reveal a lot about you.

Deep dark purple and bright golden amber.

Lexicon ~ advices and experiences.

Metagaming: Using OOC information or game/rule mechanics to influence your IC roleplay or used against another player without permission. An example would be knowing a persons name you have never met.

Godmoder, Powergamer: When a character decides he is invulnerable in terms of overriding game mechanics, most normally in combat situations. Examples would be attacking without giving another player a chance to counter, or when a character avoids something with no clear reason or defense. Looked down upon in general role-play. Similar to evoking “Godmode” in computer games, where one is invulnerable and can kill anything. Note: Trying to control or lead another character without permission is a great way to be avoided for role-playing.

Share you experience and tell us some exemples of metagaming or godmoding you lived.
This will help our new members.

Rp ~ Eatch seventh day of month.

Seven is the figure of the rythm of the « blood », the nutritive memory of the human’s soul.

The 7 expresses the stages of maturity, of the generation.

Every approximately seven years, blood is renewed completely, with changes of character which result from this.

Each seventh of the month, our blood becomes more attractive, more nutritive and less coagulant … that mean we bleed easier and the vampire may enjoy us better. But that mean also that the vampire need to take care more … The vampire need to be softer and be attentive to our healing.

We better warn them about that special day. So to help them to remember that special day, the human draw a ‘B’ interlaced with a 7 at a visible place of her skin.

The letter B for Borghesia and Blood, the number 7 for the symbolic day.

If you want to play that individual rp with your vampire, just send an 'in world' message to Oneida Oompa and you will receive the free tattoo. 

Vampire, if you see a Borghesia with this mark on the breast, this means we are the seventh day of the month and the blood should be more nutritive for you. So, take care of your bloodoll this day and enjoy the bite !
