#that old proper vampire society and young enough to roll with the punches

[sangfielle]

i want to make some old guard vampires with their own little faction but i a) don't want to put any more Vampire Politics in nny i feel like theyre already overrepresented and b) don't want to displace them as far north as new england because im conceptualizing these people as all being southerners and while linas in nny and is from ky/tn shes a new age-ish vamp even if she is one of the oldest of that generation idt any of the post-20th century vampires had any kind of sway with the oldheads when lina moved north and certainly not enough to make a group of them uproot like that. so i guess they could be an excuse for me to start picking at another area outside of ny/nj and figuring out how the dissolution of current society shaped that part of the world...

#when i say old guard here im thinking 1800s probably? #i think that part of the reason there are pretty few especially old long lived/immortalish undead monsters in setting present outside of #massively increased reaper presence and policing. at least with the ones who prefer to exist within society proper #is that when youve already been hundreds of years removed from being a Normal Person/Human it becomes difficult to change your ways #enough to adjust to the way the world changed during the apocalypse #so thats a timeframe where theyd be old enough during the early-mid 21st century to both have enough power and longevity to be part of #that old proper vampire society and young enough to roll with the punches #and also just in general i think being around for long enough has a tendency to do bad things to your brain. #also ky is further north than these peopled be shes just the vampire atp with the closest point of origin to these dudes #personal
