Welcome to Bloodlines Side Stories ☾𖤓

In Sordia, most stories write themselves in blood. Step into the lives of those who embrace the rot and those who fight against it.

SETTING:
Long ago, there were myths about unnatural beings roaming through this world. Now, their descendants walk the streets.

There are eleven main bloodlines: Primordeal, Umbra, Draconic, Seraphic, Infernal, Faerie, Leviathan, Jinn, Spirits, Astral and Chimera. The power runs in the blood. Not gods. Not monsters? Just a little more. Their abilities make them stronger, faster, richer, deadlier but not untouchable.

In Sordia, a decaying metropolis built on the bones of old New York, humans and powerful bloodline descendants coexist  barely. It’s a city where where humans fight bloodlines, and bloodlines devour each other for control. Violence is routine, loyalty is rare, and everyone bleeds the same in the end. At the top sit the Twenty-Three Families, the ruling mix of old blood and old money. They own the precincts, the papers, and the people.

The law? Corrupt. The faiths? Weaponized. The truth? Up for auction.

Welcome to Sordia. The city's rotten to the core. Try not to catch it.

CAST:

Maud (female | Umbra Bloodline) Your estranged younger sister, and a walking disaster you can’t quite let go of. Maud only shows up whenever she wants and never when you’re ready. She’s been off the grid for years now, you have no idea where she’s been or what she’s done.

Benedict ''Ben'' (male | Human) Your uncle, and one of the few people who’s never lied to you. Ben tried to raise you and Maud the best he could, but Sordia eats good men fast. Now he doesn’t leave his apartment, not ever. He handles your digital back-end. Cameras, firewalls, encrypted archives, you name it, he’s cracking it. Ben’s not made for this place. But without him, you’d be dead ten times over.


A
ndre/Anaya 
 (male / female | Human RO) Your best friend, your backup, and one of the few people left who’ll pick up the phone when your name flashes on it. Ace works for the CRD, the folks who handle everything criminally bloodline related. Some say they’re too good for Sordia. You’re just hoping the city doesn’t eat them next.


D
rArden (male / female | Manitou Bloodline RO) Dr. Arden runs a neutral clinic in the undercity, patching up anyone who can crawl through the door. They're blunt, cold, and don’t care who you are, only how bad you're bleeding. They don’t take sides, don’t make friends, and don’t ask questions. But if you’re dying, they’re your last best chance.


Ego
n/
Emme Han (male / female | Draegon Bloodline RO) Heir to one of the most powerful Draegon families in the city, and the youngest CFO to ever make the top board. Sharp suit, sharper tongue. Egon/Emme moves through the world like it owes them something, and maybe it does. They’re arrogant, calculating, and impossible to impress.


Lucian/Lucia ''Luz'' (male / female | Infernal Bloodline RO) A crime boss with too much charm and not nearly enough mercy. Luz runs their empire with a grin, a drink in hand, and pink-tinted shades. No one really knows where they came from. All anyone knows is: you don’t cross them, and you don’t ever mistake their smile for kindness.
