La Società Vitruviano [Official Faction]

[Shin Takeshi]

While others find themselves obsessed with the power they receive during the embrace, there are those who would rather perfect the powers given to them rather then exploit them. While knocking one out provides an easier meal, seducing one to allow you at their neck assures that none of the delicious life essence is wasted, and that no questions will be asked the next morning. Precision, timing, effectiveness, awareness. All key elements to the perfect crime, the perfect con, and even the perfect meal. Afterall, we're all going to need to feed eventually.

La Società Vitruviano, the Vitruvian society in english, has been around since the mid 1600s. The clan back then consisted of primarilly Toreador, vampires who have beauty beyond comprehension, and found their meals from seducing people to their bed chambers. The Society believed in never leaving behind a trace, never having to tie up loose ends, and never abandoning each other. There was no pain in asking for help, especially if it meant no one would discover the clan.

The clan is still around to this day, only if barely. Held together by a few people. This is the story of how the Clan found its way to it's new home.

Shin Akuji Takeshi, Twenty Seven years old, Father of Five, Had finally got his life in order. He had just married his true love, Jade Medicci, and finally settled down with her in the outskirts of Little Tokyo. Shin was the son of a Geisha, born with no father, a lost brother, and a sister once found and lost again. For the last five years he had been the member of the local Yakuza, the Akuji-Kai, and had worked his way to being one of the most loved members. Everyone knew who Shin was, lately. He was on the News almost weekly because of his artistic talents, and his position in the Akuji Industries. In Little Tokyo alone, Shin was one of the voices of guidance. Many of the new initiates would come to him for advice, and when able he would always help them solve issues with each other, or outside the Yakuza itself. This was Shin's perfect life, the life he had chosen and perfected, and nothing could take that away from him. That was his thinking, atleast...

It was the christmas of 2009, when Shin was returning home to his wife and kids. Rather then find open arms which had been awaiting his return, the scene he saw made him stare in disbelief. Jade, Shin's love, was laying limp on the ground, while a man sat in the nearby chair, fedora covering his face as it stared downward. Shin withdrew his Ninjato, a miniature Katana favored by Assassins, and called out to the man.

"You bastard! Who the hell are you!? Why the hell did you take her away from me!" He screamed out, as he charged at the man, impaling the blade through his heart. The man chuckled, blood leaking from his new wound as he tilted his head up to Shin. The man was Leonardo Van Meter, one of Shin's eldest friends, and one of the people whom Shin grew up with.

"I had to, Shin. I had to make sure you could handle the burden you accepted from me years ago." Leonardo said, taking Shin's hand and pushing it and the blade away from him. "Two years ago today, Shin, I asked you that in return for me getting you Jade back, that you would one day repay this debt however I wished. Its time you did so, my son."

With that, Leonardo pinned Shin down to the floor, biting into his neck. Shin screamed out, the wound that resulted searing in an unbelievable pain, pain he had not felt in all his years. Darkness soon followed, then the nightmares. Horrible things, unspeakable things. A crib cried out to him, but as he looked inside there was only a doll. The crib would then fill with blood, and Shin would drink from it. There would be an old woman crying, but as Shin looked into her eyes, there was nothing. In the next instance, he saw Jade, crying blood from eyes of nothingness. All this ended with him waking, sweating hard, in his bed. Leonardo, top hat and all, looked over him.

It was over the next few days Leonardo told Shin about what just happened. Leonardo had been around for far longer than Shin could believe. Leonardo had been alive since the mid 1700s, and was a vampire. Shin wouldn't have believed it, if it wasn't for the fact the bite Leonardo gave him had such effects. Leonardo said it was what most kindred went through during their embrace. Nightmares, pain, and when they awake, a curse they would bear for eternity. The week was spent with Shin learning about the society, about the Inquisition, and about his new found powers. As Leonardo, Shin was a toreador. Already well known for being a man whore, he was now blessed with the loss of any imperfection to his body. All the scars he had, zits, anything was gone. But the reason why Leonardo did this for him was something Shin could not swallow.

"the Inqusition believes that I've been conspiring against the society lately, Shin. As such, I'm expecting to be put to death within the next 72 hours. It could happen as I sleep, or even when I am awake. Because of this, my son, I want to give you something I hold dear. My title as Father to my clan."

He handed Shin a book, labled "Cronache di un Perfezionista", which told of Leonardo's clan. The Vitruvian Society. It told Shin about what he must do, what he would be leading, and what changes in his life were necessary. It was a burden Shin accepted with open arms, and one he has been holding on his shoulders for the last year.

He met the few others, he learned what he had to, and with that he found that Leonardo had left to accept his fate. Shin had never saw hismelf as a leader, but he did see himself as a teacher. That is waht these new bloods, like himself, needed. Guidance. Shin planned to provide them with this guidance.

"Nulla è definito, ma tutto è permesso. Ciò che facciamo nella vita è di piombo con le nostre mani, e solo noi possiamo scegliere il nostro destino. E 'con quella conoscenza, che dobbiamo sforzarci di rendere il nostro destino perfetta, non importa quale strada scegliamo di seguire. Viva la società."

Who Are We?

The Vitruvian Society is a faction basing itself on perfecting their abilities, and making sure they never bring suspicion to theirselves. Its not about money, power, or controlling others, but about a teacher and student form of bettering themselves. This does not limit itself to their abilities as a vampire, but their skills they had while human beings. This also does not mean we are a pacifist faction. Anyone who caused problems will always be dealt with, but in a clean and evidence free method. We are not murderers, we are the heralds of perfection.

Speaker - One of the few who have proven themselves. These are the captains of the Society, who watch over the others and give orders in place of the Father. They do not outrank him though.

Shin and Leonardo always knew each other, but back then I wasn't allowed to mix the two factions. Here, though, I'm able to be everything I made.

[besterich27]

Meh, add and thing like that: Allies: The Ancelotti Clan Neutrals: Everything else Enemies: None yet.

[Shin Takeshi]

Meh, add and thing like that: Allies: The Ancelotti Clan Neutrals: Everything else Enemies: None yet.

No sense in it. If they know what my clan's standing is with them, its enough for me. If I advertise it, people will start MEtagaming.

[Shin Takeshi]

Double post, but its my own topic so w/e.

Things are set up fully ICly, for now atleast. We got a HQ, a market plan, and even began the RPing of actual criminal activity.

Viva la societa.

[NekoKawaii]

*Eats the topic* Delicious ^w^

[besterich27]

Dont eat the topic or The Ancelotti Clan got 1 lower Allies D: Lol

[Akane_Shine]

Scroll down the page quickly and its like watching a stop-motion anime or something.

Good luck with this faction... They should really work on getting the seperate forum areas for each faction, a public one and a private one that requires membership to keep members updated without the world knowing.

[besterich27]

If anyone breaks into my clan HQ my weed is gone!!!! D: D: D: I gotta fix my GTA SA... And if cops come in, holly crap im fucked
