Hunter: The Vampire Wars (WIP)

Hunter: The Vampire Wars

Throughout history, vampires have controlled the world of humans from the shadows. Centuries of infighting between powerful vampires houses have lead to certain world destruction. Can you stop them in time?

 

This mod chronicles centuries of war between humans and vampires, from the 16th century, through the present day, and up to the post-apocalyptic 23rd century. The overarching story includes the storied Van Helsing family as they battle the syndicate of vampires that secretly run the world.

 

The mod contains three different eras, although there will only be a few time travelers in the mod. Each era can operate somewhat as a stand-alone experience, or as an opportunity to time travel. The goals of the vampires and other villains vary from era to era. In the 16th century, the vampires are in their early stages of trying to take over the planet, but the opposition is equally unsophisticated. The good guys focus on stopping plans for world domination as they hunt the vampires of the House of Helmsworth.

 

The modern day era will likely be the biggest, as the Vampire Wars are in full swing (in the shadows at least; the populace is still not aware of the Vampire presence that now controls their world.) The Vampire presence has expanded, and the factions controlling the various parts of the world battle with each other as much as with the forces of humans for world domination. Each city will be under the thumb of one of the different modern day Vampire houses and will be doing battle with a various cast of characters looking to stop them.

 

The future is bleak in this mod. In the 23rd century the world is a post-apocalyptic nightmare, as the vampire houses of the previous century went into full scale open warfare with each other, leading to a nuclear Holocaust. The remaining humans have to battle the vampires for what's left of the Earth, as well as prevent the lunatic Church of the Apocalypse from destroying the world completely. Additionally, the world continues to change as the nuclear war has caused a small but growing number of humans to develop mutant powers.

 

Eras:

 

The 16th Century

Locations: 16th Century London

The beginning of the Vampire Wars can be traded back to 16th Century London. After aeons of staying out of human affairs, enterprising vampires have taken control of the King's Court from the shadows. A small number of humans, lead by Doctor Gabriel Van Helsing, are aware of the growing influence of elder vampire Sir Nigel Helmsworth. Van Helsing and Helmsworth's minions do battle at night, as the forces of humanity try to prevent Helmsworth's plans of domination.

 

The House of Helmsworth's influence is greater than just the Royal Court, however. The Church of England has also been slowly overrun by Helmsworth's forces. A small band of rogue priests have brought ancient rituals to bear in their attempts to wrestle control of the Church away from the vampires.

 

Modern Day

Locations: New York City

America's largest city, New York has the largest vampire population in the world. The entirety of North and South America is controlled by the House of Stanford; a powerful force that has its thumb on the politics and economy of both continents. While based in New York, the patriarch Alexander Stanford has built such a large family of vampires in the city that rival factions are beginning to develop. Various factions have dug into different parts of the city life, as Stanford's progeny control various factions of the police, the media, and political circles.

 

Operating in the shadows are a wide variety of vampire hunters, including paramilitary organizations, religious believers, and even the unwitting teenage progeny of Gabriel van Helsing, a pizza delivery guy named Chuck Van Helsing. Chuck has no idea what his potential holds, and to what threats from his time and the future are willing to do to keep him from achieving his destiny.

 

London

Once the central hub of the world's vampire activity, the fall of the House of Helmsworth left a power vacuum that has led to a bloody, centuries long war for control of Europe. Recently rising to the of the heap is the powerful Spaniard Count Lasombra, who has recently moved his base of operations to London. Having wiped out the majority of vampire hunters in England, Lasombra is now focused on stamping out the rest of resistance among the vampires in the city. A small band of priests, known as the Keepers of the Kingdom, have carried on the traditions of the priest-hunters in the 16th Century. While they are humanities' best hope for retaking London and all of Europe, Lasombra may soon face a much older, much more dangerous threat from the past.

 

Tokyo

Description Coming Soon!

 

The 23rd Century

Locations: Human Outpost

The last safe haven on Earth controlled by Humans, Human Outpost is a former military facility in the United States buried deep underground. While the vampires have not yet been able to find the stronghold, the city faces its own threat from within. The Church of the Apocalypse, lead by the fanatical Father Justin, believe that the Vampire Wars and the Nuclear Holocaust that followed were acts of the Devil, and the only way to purify the Earth is to destroy it. Earth's only hope is The Human Resistance, ran by Charles Van Helsing IV. The charismatic leader and his band of rebels must contend with the Church, as well as the vampires violent mobs that inhabit what's left of New York.

 

New York City Ruins

Description coming soon!

STATUS:

This mod is still in the early stages; much of what is described above has yet to be created. With that in mind, things will likely change. I'm also considering expanding some or all of the eras. The modern era will almost surely see more cities; most likely Rio and Las Vegas.

 

The data part is coming easily and may be done fairly soon. The graphics? not so much. I have opted to use pictures of actors for the characters in this mod as I want to use graphics but have no rendering skill. I am hopeful if this takes off that down the road some kind souls will agree to render this mod. For now, I'd love any help with pictures, so post here if you're interested. If I can speed up the process of cutting pictures this should be out in Beta format fairly quickly.
