The Zeppelin Family
By vintagegrunge Resident

TYPE: Faction

MEMBERS: raynidaygirl resident, lillyannspencer resident

BACKGROUND: This is a family that is founded by Zeppelin Bloodstone. It is basically a Charles Manson-like cult, with its own twists. The family is protected by Zeppelin, who provides them with food, shelter, clothing and everything they need to survive. Those in the family look at him as a god-like being, taking all of his words to heart. He tends to have agendas and beliefs that he pushes upon them, keeping most of them drugged up enough not to question it. They are known to partake in rituals, including and not limited to blood bonds and sacrifices, sexual bonding orgies, and whatever else Zeppelin deems right for the family, based on his cult like beliefs.

UNIQUE: So far the family will use residential homes, each member offering their home for the family and those who do not have one. If there is land available in the future, a home will be built there, but it will be a private residence shared by the family. This RP will allow those who do not fit into other role play to have a place to go. It will also allow for people to join a "family" and play into the fact they feel as if they are actually in one. It will open many gates for those who think this cult is satanic and may oppose such things. They will bring violence on those who go against what they believe and will try to expand their family to any who will follow the leadership of Zeppelin. There will be bazaar, cult-like rituals going on. For example, the family members may burn marks on their body, wear scars that match each other, cut each other and bond by blood...or even dig up graves for body parts, attack someone for their blood...the possibility is endless.

FLAW: Our faction will be weak minded in general. The leader is a functioning schizophrenic more or less, but he will develop a god-complex that will end up being his weakness as well. They will tend to be strung out and while dangerous, they would end up being arrested and/or attacked quite a lot for what they do.

POTENTIAL ENEMY: This opens the door for most anyone to be involved, but potential religious groups could form against them, or even those who are involved in the politics could be targets. Anyone who acts or does anything the family does not see as worthy of doing, could be targeted by them in the future.

EXPERIENCE:I have a lot of role play experience (over 10 years), as well as experience here on crack den. In person, I have managed my own store. I also know the story this role play is based on very well, as I have studied it for classes. I know to play fair. As a writer, I want a good story. I am not here to make myself look good, but to make the role play fun and exciting.

IDEAS:They will be welcomed to the family by all members and certain rituals will be set up for them to join us, all depending on limits and what they are willing to do. They may be asked to prove themselves worthy by doing our dirty work, but most anyone will be able to join our family.

OTHER:This opens the door for most anyone to be involved, but potential religious groups could form against them, or even those who are involved in the politics could be targets. Anyone who acts or does anything the family does not see as worthy of doing, could be targeted by them in the future.
