Vampire: Victorian Era
In the world of darkness, people go missing
every night, with the masses huddling in their little burgs, fearing for
their lives. Prior to the industrial revolution people hid all parts of themselves,
fearing that any kind of exposure would result in Satan tempting the innocent
viewer. For this excellent reason women and men alike pray to their divine
patron, begging for his forgiveness, hoping that they will be permitted to
at least glimpse the eternal gates of heaven, while avoiding falling into
the depth of the abyss like the sinner before their time. It was also a time
of intense intellectual discovery, with the invention of the assembly line
people were beginning to flood to the cities, and consequently began to gather
and speak with each other. This brought about a sense of workers unity, though
this was mostly brought together through a desperate need for equity amongst
the people; the common men, most of whom had been forced off of their ancesteral
farms, were herded and treated like beasts, forced to drug in near slavery
to meet production quotas set by the elite owners of the factories.
This is the time of the Cimean war, the corn
laws, the time where the gothic returned into the lives, architecture,
and personalities of the people. During these years the darkness seemed
a little bit darker, the shadows a little more frightening, and all of
existence more erotic from the lack of luxuries. During this time the
vampires began to emerge from the holes they had rested in for centuries,
moving more openly in the night, engaging in discourse with others of their
kind on a more regular basis than ever before in history. The hellish beings
also conversed with mortals, and would occasionally summon the forces of
hell to turn a pure man or woman into one of their own, forever tainting
the beings soul and damning them for eternity.
