Interview with a vampire
(Send to Bridger as a Supergroup Spotlight Submission, 10th of November 2006)

Today, I Bridger, was invited by phone to do an interview for my next Supergroup Spotlight Submission. It was a bit strange... the woman called herself Elizabeth and wanted to meet me in this mansion looking over the haunted cemeteries of Shark head Isle after dark. But I am used to something and in my past Supergroup Spotlight Submissions I already talked to some very special people... hero and villain alike. So I pick up my tape recorder and go...

The door was opened by a man wearing sunglasses. I noticed he had some pointed ears, and I had the distinct idea that there was a red glow coming from his eyes although covered. He said his name was Incantator Draconus, and that the countess would be there in a minute.

She was an intriguing young looking woman with long flowing dark hair, blood-red lips and a cold look in her eyes which had red pupils?! We introduced each other and I looked around the room. The inside looked much like a mid-evil castle. It had lots of banners with a blood-red cup on it. My drink was pored in a cup engraved with a mid-evil crest encircled by a dragon biting its own tail. She didn’t take anything... I took a sip and asked my first question.

I am asked to take down an interview for the Supergroup Spotlight Submission; can I ask what the name of your Supergroup is?

Off course you can... it's called 'The Court of the Blood Countess' and it resides on the UNION shard.

Then I can take it that you're the blood countess the name comes from?

Yes, you can... My name is Báthory Erzsébet. Known throughout the living world as Elizabeth Báthory. A name I had changed to Balthory to keep an inkling of anonymity. I was born on August 7, 1560 in what is now Slovak and I am a vampire and a necromancer.

I looked a little bewildered thinking if I would be safe around her, then continued the interview... What is the motto of this 'Court'?

Why, to provide a safe haven for all undead monsters and misfits (including some mad-scientist) so that they may serve me and rage undisturbed rampage across the known world... off course.

I see... a nice variation on the usual 'world domination', what are your Supergroup’s emblem and colours?

You see them all around you... it's the cup filled with the liquid of life, the blood itself. The blood that kept my skin young while alive, and through various rituals made me immortal after death.

Such a fixation about blood...

Naturally, my dear Bridger, you wouldn't want to go without it yourself. If you do, that can be arranged off course...

Taking a fast nip of my drink (my throat suddenly had become a bit dry), I quickly continued to my next question. Does this Supergroup has a website and/or message boards, and what’s the URL?

I'm not so known in that modern stuff myself, but my scientists have created this place on... let me see... http://www.courtofthebloodcountess.tk. I am informed that it holds armor designs, news, and a forum.

I understood that you were the founder... are there any other leaders?

I answer to nobody, young man. But I have appointed a High Lord to act as my replacement. He opened the door for you. His name is Incantator Draconus. Furthermore I have a council of Dark Templar’s... Ghidirah, Ghost of Death, Spacebug No. 2058, Frostfang and the Primogen. They make sure the Court Knights and Blood Servants keep in check.

...and its history?

After that traitorous Recluse got me locked up in Mercy I escaped and decided to build up a new court here on the Rogue Isles. It has very good hunting grounds and I found lots of kindred spirits in other vampires, demons, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, psychotic killers and the occasional mad-scientist. It's what the youngsters today would call a 'gothic 'horror themed SG'.

Do you have a overall goal or aim?

Not really, just to hunt the streets peacefully... and have fun with my new friends. In time we will try to take over the PVP zones from those do-gooders and make places like 'Bloody Bay' red with the blood of heroes.

What are the day-to-day things the Court of the Blood Countess will do?

We hunt together doing missions and strike forces. Help out each-other on a regular basis getting badges, or special experiences. Practice in the arena, and on PVP grounds. And sometimes even special events... although those are still in the works.

What is your Supergroup’s finest moment or greatest achievement so far?

Well, I just started this bend of misfits a few months ago. We did some wonderful strike forces and missions. But it’s by far what I'm aiming at. So let’s keep that open, shall we?

Do you have a base of operations?

My friend... were do you think you are? This old house has a main hall and sub rooms that are almost a copy of my castle of old. It holds all teleport modules, a mad science lab, infirmary, mystic meditation room, library, meeting room and bedchambers. And that is just above ground. The dungeons keep my sanctum sanctorum also.

Any plans for the future?

At the moment we live by the minute... I will do more special events, and train my court to be even better in PVP. Further then that I haven’t even looked yet. But I try to keep these creeps together as friends and not as prestige winning nobodies. For now that should be enough!

Feeling her blood-red yes burning straight to my soul, and dropping a bit towards my naked skin, I quickly changed the subject. Is the Court of the Blood Countess open to new recruits?

Actually yes, we can always use fresh bloo... eh... members... I would especially like a pack of werewolves’ stalkers and/or brutes to have around. But all who fit the gothic horror theme can join as long as we have place. Any member can send an invite, but if were full... only I or my High Lord can kick old/non-active members. My global is @Elizabeth Bathory... my High Lords' @Incantator Draconis. If you are serious.... just let us know using in-game e-mail or tell. The website also holds e-mail and forum to get in touch.

I am out of questions for the moment... is there anything else?

No, not really... Incantator went out. So I will summon someone else to lead you to the door.

At that moment she extended her hand and mumbled some incantation that I could barely hear. The ground started to boil and bones were forming out of ashes sipping through the stones that made up the floor of the room. They shaped each other to become a horrid knight, a vampiric zombie that took my hand and brought me (very forcefully) to the exit of the mansion. I got an extra push and fell with my tape recorder in my hand on the ground. This was a very uncomfortable interview... but I had it. My readers would be glad, and I was glad to be still alive!

As I stated above.. this introduction was made in 2006.

Sind then the Court has reached times when there are at least 36 members who logged in each day. Last week we reached the 10th place in rank on UNION too. There is a newly formed forum and roleplay in-game and on forums are much more popular.

If you want in... and there is room... any member you encounter is able to invite.
