NOTE: This story focuses on terrible RPers as well as RP behavior in general, and also is satirical in nature, and this deals with it in a clever and humorous way. And also has a bit of topical/political humor as well.
---------------------------------
Have you ever dealt with RPers who were a total pain in the ass and wouldn’t listen no matter what you’ve told them? Well Nathan has. Meet Thomas Sheppard, or Tom for short. He was an old school rival of Nathan’s who was infamous for being a terrible RPer, he used the most pathetic excuses. His character was a Were-Eagle, now everyone knows Were-Eagles were supposed to be lawful good but he was more chaotic evil, of course he had always been evil in real life as well so it was like he was born to be the villain.
Of course he took this to heart and not just that, took it too far, often treating other players like they were lesser beings compared to him. True, he was also the most popular athlete on the local football team but he was the most terrifying RPer ever, when he wasn’t ordering his ‘minions’ around, he was killing off other characters and abusing the power that came with his character’s species. He was a disgrace to RPers everywhere, everyone else was too frightened to play with him and he was hated by regular RPers. In fact Nathan was the only one who wanted to RP with him.
Whenever he was asked to play a non-villainous role he often responded with “not interested” “no thanks” or “not gonna be involved in this”, often preferring to always be on the side of evil rather than the side of good. Thus making him the most difficult person to please in terms of his RPing tactics and such. One night he went a little too far during an RP session where he called out Nathan using the stupidest excuse ever, the ‘dictatorship’ excuse. Little did he know that it was never a good idea to use that excuse on him.
“Woah...Tom..stop, you’re being too rough here. You’ve already killed half of my character’s allies and now you’re trying to kill him too? What on earth did my character ever do to you, hmm?”
“Your character wouldn’t let mine fight back.”
“Correction, the reason I did it was because my character is a vampire with mind control powers and your character so foolishly tried to resist them. Once my character has hypnotized your character, your character falls into a trance-like state and thus is open to suggestion which means like it or not...your character is HIS to do whatever he wants with.”
“That’s dictatorship…”
“No it isn’t… that’s just how mind control works as an ability in RP of all kinds really. There’s nothing ‘god-modish’ or ‘dictator-like’ about it. Your character gets hypnotized, your character is a ‘thrall’ to my character and must obey him...I don't think you understand this at all. My character is a vampiric being with hypnotic powers to which your character is still a victim of."
“It’s not fair...that’s still dictatorship..”
“I didn’t say that your character couldn’t fight back, far from it. It’s just you know, my character used his mind control powers on your one and your character - while he did try to resist at first, is now a thrall to him and now serves him. You’re still allowed to fight back if you wish, but I doubt it will be any good.”
“But…”
“Have you no idea how mind control works?”
“Of course I do..it’s just…”
“Oh I know what excuse you’re going to be using. I know that you think it isn’t fair for your character to lose like this but here’s the thing...your character is kind of welll..the villain, there’s no other way to put this, your character is pure evil. He kills off other characters for no particular reason other than bloodlust.’
“Doesn’t your character do that too?”
“Noooo...my character does what he does to survive...he is no monster or villain by any means, he is a misunderstood monster who is feared by humans. He doesn’t kill others unless they’ve done anything to doublecross him. And he most certainly doesn’t harm others for the sake of being a bloodthirsty psycho.”
“But…”
“Your character is a Were-Eagle, right?”
“Yeeeah…”
“Were-Eagles are SUPPOSED to be lawful good. Your character is Chaotic Evil. Your character is supposed to be a good-guy NOT a villain. Were-Eagles are NOT evil and they certainly are NOT killers. I know they’re called ‘birds of prey’ for a reason but still... he is NOT supposed to kill everyone.”
“But that heroism stuff is boring and tedious. Being a villain or monster is a LOT more enjoyable than being a boring hero who goes around helping people. It’s a lot more fun being bad if you ask me, that’s why my Were-Eagle is evil.”
“As much as I hate you, I have to agree. There are indeed a lot of perks to being a monster or a villain, they always seem to have more fun than the heroes do and that is a good thing. I know that you certainly do enjoy the whole villainism thing and everything, and yes it is fun being evil, but you can do it without alienating the other players.”
“I know, I just enjoy being bad that’s all. That’s the reason why I served as your rival, because while being the best athlete on the team and being admired by all is terrific, it pales in comparison to the fun that comes with being the Big Bad, you know - the guy everyone fears, being a villain is the best.”
“If you want your character to be evil..then why couldn’t you make him a Were-Vulture or a Were-Rat instead? A Were-raven/dragon hybrid maybe? Because you know, while I do admit I applaud your bravery for making him a villain, I still think it’s unusual for a Were-Eagle to be evil and everything.”
“Nathan, there’s something I must tell you. The reason why I do this, is because I really honestly admire how you take on such monstrous forms and roles with ease and that is why I want to be villainous, I want to learn the techniques you use. Being villainous is something i’ve always dreamed of.”
“Wow...Tom, I didn’t know you were such a huge fan of my adventures.”
“Nate. Those monsters of yours are AWESOME. I love how you’re not afraid to be versatile with your creatures - you make them scary and enjoyable at the same time. Those are what I call real monsters my friend. You are the master of nightmares. And I couldn't thank you enough. You're an inspiration to me."
“Of course I am..thank you for noticing.”
“I only wish I could be as terrifying as your creations.”
“Well...you must be careful what you wish for.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s just say that I could make that a reality…”
“You can?”
“Of course I can…”
“Then why don’t you do it then?”
“Because you’re already tempting fate here and making it too easy for me.”
“Aaaaw..come on, you big meanie.”
“Heh...heh, you know - you remind me of someone when you talk like that. And how you like to act so fierce and aggressive but when met with an actual threat, you shiver and quiver like the cowardly little wimp that you are.”
“Huh?”
“Oh yes...you certainly do. You seem to act like you know what the art of the deal is but deep down you know you are out of your league. You’re not in your home turf anymore, you’re in my world and the rules have changed.”
“Are you being scary? Oh...I love it when you do it, you do it so well.”
“I know...now give me your hand…”
Tom reached out his hand, Nathan responded back by doing a bit of palm-reading to look for monster lines, which they were quite a few. He smiled in a sly fashion before grabbing the character bio sheet for Tom’s character, altering the species and attributes of the character from Were-Eagle to vampire. This change of stats affected Tom as well, as he started getting the thirst for blood, he couldn’t help but desire the taste of it no matter how much he tried to fight it, a few seconds later he could feel his own DNA altering to a more vampiric set.
“I...feel weird...and thirsty...what’s going on?”
“Well I figured that your character is no good to me as he is...so using a technique I learned from playing with my friends, I decided to change your character’s species from Were-Eagle to vampire, and since this affects you as well as your character, you are now vampiric too - welcome to your afterlife.”
“So i’m a vampire now?”
“Exactly. Welcome to your afterlife.”
“But…”
“Since my character is a vampire and also so am I… I decided to make you much more useful, besides - every good vamp needs an apprentice. Congratulations, you are now my “Vamprentice”.
“So is this it?”
“Not yet...there’s something else…”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’ll see..”
Tom gulped as he feared what would be the next part. Would he be forced to serve as a Renfield type? Would he be subjected to sunlight and explode? Would he be stuck as one of the undead forever? Whatever it was, he knew it couldn’t be any worse than what had just happened. He had always wanted to be a monster himself, but I don’t think he was expecting this - and there was something else he wasn’t expecting either.
Just as he was about to ask what would happen to him next, several painful cracks and crunches were heard as he groaned in agony, these are the sounds that would be normally associated with a werecreature transformation or something similar, but the changes this time were much different, his clothing was stretching a little bit as his skin glistened, his normal attire altering and reforming into an elegant business suit, pants, white shirt and long red tie.
His body started altering in size and shape, building up in terms of bulk, slowly but surely gaining what appeared to be around 198-236lbs, not exactly overweight but not exactly skinny either, he groaned several times as the changes reached his hands, his hands becoming slightly larger as his fingernails grew longer and sharper.
“W-w-what’s going on?”
“That is an easy one, dear Thomas …”
“How so?”
“You’re becoming what you’ve always wanted to be...this is what you’ve always wanted after all. I know that you've wanted this for sometime. I know that you admire the 'fierce' and 'powerful' types."
“But I wanted to be a monster…”
“That’s exactly what you’re becoming…”
“This hardly seems fair to me…”
“Yeah, right - like you’re the one to talk about what’s fair and what isn’t.”
“But I didn’t ask for this…”
“Oh yes you did...you wanted to be a monster, so I am making your monster dream a reality. I am giving you what you've always dreamed of. I know you've been wanting to know my secret."
“But...but…”
“Oh don’t be such a scaredy cat...you’re getting what you’ve always wanted aren’t ya? Of course you are. And believe me, I know that you’re going to like it. Besides, apart from also making a vampire...my special enchantment has a second side-effect to it.”
“What?”
“Yep…”
Tom squirmed several times as the changes progressed, his height elevating to 6’2 as his neckline shifted a little, he grunted several times as he witnessed his own transformation taking place, fearing what he was becoming. He tried begging Nathan for forgiveness but it was no use, the damage had been done and now he was paying for it. He was paying for his own selfish actions and his poor behavior.
“What’s going on? Am I…?”
“Yes...you are.”
“I don’t understand…”
“What part of it don’t you understand?”
“If I am a vampire then...what am I morphing into? Because i’m freaking out here.”
“Well...remember the art of the deal remark I made a while back?”
“No...you don’t mean…”
“Yep…”
“Oh dear Odin...no...no…”
“I’m afraid so…”
“This isn’t what I wanted at all…”
“Hey! I know that you have always wanted to be a monster and a villain...so…”
He snarled several times as he continued to alter and change, his hair slowly turning from brown to blonde and slicking itself back into a rather distinctive style as his brow became more pronounced, in addition to this his eyebrows thickened and turned the same color as his hair, his eyes turn an icy shade of blue and widening a little. His nose altered to become a bit more pronounced.
His lips shifted to become oddly kissable for a males as his teeth sharpened, with his canines extending to become fangs and the rest of his teeth developed points, becoming Hessian-like in appearance. His cheekbones became sharper and more pronounced as his facial features morphed and reshaped themselves, reshaping themselves until he now looked unmistakably like Donald Trump, in fact he looked like 80’s/90’s/2000’s era Donald only with a few vampiric touches. He yowled several times as the bloodlust from before took over.
“Stop this….”
“Aaaaw.”
“Please...stop this, I learned my lesson.”
“But Tom, I thought that you wanted to be a monster, I thought you wanted to follow in my footsteps and be a creature of the night just like me. I know you’ve been talking about wanting to be one. And that you liked the idea.”
“I take it back…”
“Can’t take it back now, the damage has been done…”
He hissed several times as his mindset, memories and personality shifted. He would have done anything not to be a victim of this fate but unfortunately his bad reputation as a terrible RPer and his constant habit of calling out others for supposedly ‘god-modding’ and using ‘dictatorship’ as his supposed reason for hating Nathan’s RPing tactics were what sealed his fate from the state, and it horrified him to the bone. He begged several more times but was stopped as his voice altered to match his appearance, altering in pitch and tone until it was also now Donald’s voice.
“Now this isn’t hardly fair if you ask me!”
“Hey! You’re the one who accused me of god-modding and then used dictatorship as your calling card so to speak. I don’t think you have the right to complain here, especially since well this is not your world anymore, when you RP with me you are in my world. And you can’t do whatever you desire in my world, because like most good RPers I have rules and standards. I may be a monster but at least I have a heart.”
“But…”
“No buts, what’s said has been said and that is it.”
“But I..I...I..”
“Look and sound like Donald Trump? Why yes, you do…”
“This isn’t what I asked for, this is just cruel and unusual punishment.”
“Well you know what they say, let the punishment fit the crime.”
“I said that I wanted to be a villain..and a monster…”
“Which you are…”
“But this isn’t what I meant..”
“Oh...you were expecting Nosferatu maybe? Or maybe Freddy, Jason or Chucky?”
“But this isn’t fair!”
“Neither were your RPing tactics, had you been much nicer to me and also to other players you wouldn’t be in this mess and you wouldn’t be the victim of a transformation like this one. Had you been a much nicer guy, then perhaps I would have spared you. I do respect your admiration for monsters though and your admiration for yours truly as well.”
He held his head in agony as new memories and thoughts along with his shifting personality took over, replacing everything prior to this in his mind with the memories and persona of the man himself, a few seconds later his transformation was completed and he was none other than Donald Trump.
“Aaah! What have you done to me?”
“It’s simple...you wanted to be a monster and I made it a reality. Of course I couldn’t just go with any old monster, I knew you liked villains and being one so I decided to pull a double-whammy on you.”
“So…”
“The good news is that you’re now a vampire…”
“And the bad news is?”
“The bad news is...that you’re also now Donald Trump.”
“WHAT?”
“Hey… you wanted to be a monster and also a villain. So I went with the famous and most threatening monster of them all. I knew that not just any old monster would do, after all - it would be a waste of good transformation based magic if I just made you into a regular ol monster, so I made your character and also yourself - a vampire.”
“WHAT? HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!”
“You did this to yourself, I only helped…”
“But…you made me like this? You made me this horrible, hideous, disgusting, horrendous monstrosity...you did this to me. Look at me. Everyone is going to be too afraid to even go near me now.”
“To be fair, everyone was ALREADY afraid of you and they still are.”
“But….i’m a monster…”
“Yes, Donald...you certainly are.You’ve always wanted to be feared, yes? I know that you don’t like being viewed as the bad guy, but in a way you kind of do. I know that you’ve always liked the feeling of having so much power inside you. You like power, don’t you? You like intimidating your so called prey, don’t ya? You’ve always wanted something like this to happen to you, haven’t you? Of course you do. And of course you have. What I have given you is actually a gift. You’ve always admired fierce and powerful types, right?”
“Yes….”
“Well there you go…”
“Am I really that monstrous?”
“In a way, yes you are.”
“But….”
“Donald...trust me on this. You really are quite a fierce monster, what I have done for you is not a curse by any means. Hear me out here. You came to me wanting to know my secrets and you wanted to be a creature of the night like myself. I have given you a gift that will make you even more feared than you already were before. You are now a vampire, just like me and as such - you can do whatever you want without people questioning your motives.”
“Does that include?”
“No, we don’t kill people...we feed on their blood to survive.”
“Oh…”
“There are also things you should know about being a vampire. One thing you should know is that vampires do not have reflections, secondly - avoid stakes, note that I said wooden stakes NOT Trump steaks. Also, avoid the daylight.”
“Got it…”
“You were a Lost Boy when I found you, Donald. But now that you are here, you have been found - for you are my vamprentice and now you must remember these words that I am going to share with you right now, listen closely indeed. For these words are vital and important and you’ll need to listen closely.”
“Alright..”
“First of all...Lost Boys don’t cry, blind boys don’t lie. Thou shall not fall, thou shall not die, thou thou shall not fear and thou shall not kill. These are very important and you must abide by these terms at all costs.”
“I understand perfectly…”
“Oh and another thing you must know about vampires is that sometimes they fall victim to the dreaded CBS problem. Now what does CBS stand for? Crap Bat Syndrome. You know in the movies when you see a vampire in bat-form and the bat form looks really stupid like it’s a bat puppet on strings or if it’s something equally as goofy? That’s Crap Bat Syndrome. Also, some vampires have sort of an OCD-like fixation on counting things.”
“You mean like Count Von Count who does the ‘One, two, four - ah ah ha!’ thing?”
“Yep...and also if it sparkles - then it’s NOT a vampire. Also if it is from Being Human, the From Dusk Till Dawn tv series or True Blood - it’s NOT a vampire either. Real vampires don’t break out in rashes or have bladder issues, they’re not snake-people unless you’re talking about Lair Of The White Worm and they’re not romanticized eye-candy either.”
“I have a question…”
“Yes…what is it?”
“Since i’m you know...Trump and everything, shouldn't that make me the Head Vampire? As in the vampire who is in charge? The boss vampire? I hope so. Because if i’m the head vampire that means i’m in charge. Am I the head vampire then? I hope I am, because i’d like that.”
“Technically yes, but you’re more of an apprentice head vampire. I am the actual head vampire though and you’re 2nd in command. I’m not saying you are a second banana to me or anything, you’re still in charge though.”
“Well thank goodness. For a second there I was worried about having to be some kind of Renfield type. I mean that just makes me squirm just thinking about it. Eating bugs? Eeew. That is so disgusting. So unsanitary too! And I was worried that you think of me as just a lackey/minion.”
“Donald...of course you’re not a second banana to me or anyone else.”
“Good. I can't imagine myself being a lackey or minion to anyone. Because as you know, I - Donald J. Trump, am nobody’s lackey or minion! I’m the one who gives the orders, I don’t take orders I give them. I am certainly nobody’s lackey! I may be an apprentice head vampire but i’m still in charge.”
“Donald...I think you and I are going to make a pretty fearsome team. But I think before we do anything, we’ve got to change a few things around. That is if you’re alright with it, first of all this location - it’s not suitable for us..we need to change it up a bit.”
“I have an idea…”
“Let’s hear it…”
Donald whispered in Nathan’s ear, explaining his plans for the location the both of them were currently in - within a few seconds later, Nathan used his powers to convert the place into a fine-looking vampire’s den for the both of them to do their hunting in, in addition to this he transformed the exterior and interior into a replica of Trump Tower.
“Now that’s more like it…”
“Any other ideas?”
“There is one more...how about we use an unconventional method of finding potential subjects to make into vampires? I’ve got it...we could have a TV show, I could be in it - it could be The Vamprentice and we could use it as a means of finding humans to sire and to add to our group.”
“Now that’s a clever idea…”
And with that the new idea was set and a tv show known as The Vamprentice was created, in this show humans had to do a series of tasks to prove they were capable of being vampire material and also those who impressed “The Donald” would be made part of his - and Nathan’s group of vampiric creatures of the night. The show became extremely popular and even spawned itself a video game and board-game adaptation. Of course both of them benefited from this and became a feared but also somewhat respected in someway team.
As for Donald, well he pretty much stayed the way he was but since he had vampire powers now he could turn into smoke/mist, turn into a bat-like creature, levitate, and also he was ageless and could live forever. Of course he did learn quite a lot from this experience, and he also learned to be less monstrous when around others, but sometimes he just couldn’t help himself, it’s a monster thing.
Remember, be careful about how you behave when RPing with others. Dodgy behavior such as pulling the ‘dictatorship’ and ‘god-modding’ card and killing other people’s characters and/or questioning their tactics could lead to dire consequences, especially if the person playing the character is an actual supernatural being and could teach you a lesson or two. Complaining never gets you anywhere either. Also remember, it is fun to play the bad guy but it’s not fun to alienate those around you or mistreat them, consider others and think before you act - or you might end up tempting fate in the worst way possible.

“Huh?”
“Oh yes...you certainly do. You seem to act like you know what the art of the deal is but deep down you know you are out of your league. You’re not in your home turf anymore, you’re in my world and the rules have changed.”
“Are you being scary? Oh...I love it when you do it, you do it so well.”
“I know...now give me your hand…”
Tom reached out his hand, Nathan responded back by doing a bit of palm-reading to look for monster lines, which they were quite a few. He smiled in a sly fashion before grabbing the character bio sheet for Tom’s character, altering the species and attributes of the character from Were-Eagle to vampire.

“Not yet...there’s something else…”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’ll see..”
Tom gulped as he feared what would be the next part. Would he be forced to serve as a Renfield type? Would he be subjected to sunlight and explode? Would he be stuck as one of the undead forever?

His body started altering in size and shape, building up in terms of bulk, slowly but surely gaining what appeared to be around 198-236lbs, not exactly overweight but not exactly skinny either, he groaned several times as the changes reached his hands, his hands becoming slightly larger as his fingernails grew longer and sharper.
“W-w-what’s going on?”
“That is an easy one, dear Thomas …”
“How so?”
“You’re becoming what you’ve always wanted to be...this is what you’ve always wanted after all. I know that you've wanted this for sometime. I know that you admire the 'fierce' and 'powerful' types."
“But I wanted to be a monster…”
“That’s exactly what you’re becoming…”
“This hardly seems fair to me…”
“Yeah, right - like you’re the one to talk about what’s fair and what isn’t.”
“But I didn’t ask for this…”
“Oh yes you did...you wanted to be a monster, so I am making your monster dream a reality. I am giving you what you've always dreamed of. I know you've been wanting to know my secret."
“But...but…”
“Oh don’t be such a scaredy cat...you’re getting what you’ve always wanted aren’t ya? Of course you are. And believe me, I know that you’re going to like it. Besides, apart from also making a vampire...my special enchantment has a second side-effect to it.”
“What?”
“Yep…”
Tom squirmed several times as the changes progressed, his height elevating to 6’2 as his neckline shifted a little, he grunted several times as he witnessed his own transformation taking place, fearing what he was becoming. He tried begging Nathan for forgiveness but it was no use, the damage had been done and now he was paying for it. He was paying for his own selfish actions and his poor behavior.
“What’s going on? Am I…?”
“Yes...you are.”
“I don’t understand…”
“What part of it don’t you understand?”
“If I am a vampire then...what am I morphing into? Because i’m freaking out here.”
“Well...remember the art of the deal remark I made a while back?”
“No...you don’t mean…”
“Yep…”
“Oh dear Odin...no...no…”
“I’m afraid so…”
“This isn’t what I wanted at all…”
“Hey! I know that you have always wanted to be a monster and a villain...so…”
He snarled several times as he continued to alter and change, his hair slowly turning from brown to blonde and slicking itself back into a rather distinctive style as his brow became more pronounced, in addition to this his eyebrows thickened and turned the same color as his hair, his eyes turn an icy shade of blue and widening a little. His nose altered to become a bit more pronounced.
His lips shifted to become oddly kissable for a males as his teeth sharpened, with his canines extending to become fangs and the rest of his teeth developed points, becoming Hessian-like in appearance. His cheekbones became sharper and more pronounced as his facial features morphed and reshaped themselves, reshaping themselves until he now looked unmistakably like Donald Trump, in fact he looked like 80’s/90’s/2000’s era Donald only with a few vampiric touches. He yowled several times as the bloodlust from before took over.
“Stop this….”
“Aaaaw.”
“Please...stop this, I learned my lesson.”
“But Tom, I thought that you wanted to be a monster, I thought you wanted to follow in my footsteps and be a creature of the night just like me. I know you’ve been talking about wanting to be one. And that you liked the idea.”
“I take it back…”
“Can’t take it back now, the damage has been done…”
He hissed several times as his mindset, memories and personality shifted. He would have done anything not to be a victim of this fate but unfortunately his bad reputation as a terrible RPer and his constant habit of calling out others for supposedly ‘god-modding’ and using ‘dictatorship’ as his supposed reason for hating Nathan’s RPing tactics were what sealed his fate from the state, and it horrified him to the bone. He begged several more times but was stopped as his voice altered to match his appearance, altering in pitch and tone until it was also now Donald’s voice.
“Now this isn’t hardly fair if you ask me!”
“Hey! You’re the one who accused me of god-modding and then used dictatorship as your calling card so to speak. I don’t think you have the right to complain here, especially since well this is not your world anymore, when you RP with me you are in my world. And you can’t do whatever you desire in my world, because like most good RPers I have rules and standards. I may be a monster but at least I have a heart.”
“But…”
“No buts, what’s said has been said and that is it.”
“But I..I...I..”
“Look and sound like Donald Trump? Why yes, you do…”
“This isn’t what I asked for, this is just cruel and unusual punishment.”
“Well you know what they say, let the punishment fit the crime.”
“I said that I wanted to be a villain..and a monster…”
“Which you are…”
“But this isn’t what I meant..”
“Oh...you were expecting Nosferatu maybe? Or maybe Freddy, Jason or Chucky?”
“But this isn’t fair!”
“Neither were your RPing tactics, had you been much nicer to me and also to other players you wouldn’t be in this mess and you wouldn’t be the victim of a transformation like this one. Had you been a much nicer guy, then perhaps I would have spared you. I do respect your admiration for monsters though and your admiration for yours truly as well.”
He held his head in agony as new memories and thoughts along with his shifting personality took over, replacing everything prior to this in his mind with the memories and persona of the man himself, a few seconds later his transformation was completed and he was none other than Donald Trump.
“Aaah! What have you done to me?”
“It’s simple...you wanted to be a monster and I made it a reality. Of course I couldn’t just go with any old monster, I knew you liked villains and being one so I decided to pull a double-whammy on you.”
“So…”
“The good news is that you’re now a vampire…”
“And the bad news is?”
“The bad news is...that you’re also now Donald Trump.”
“WHAT?”
“Hey… you wanted to be a monster and also a villain. So I went with the famous and most threatening monster of them all. I knew that not just any old monster would do, after all - it would be a waste of good transformation based magic if I just made you into a regular ol monster, so I made your character and also yourself - a vampire.”
“WHAT? HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!”
“You did this to yourself, I only helped…”
“But…you made me like this? You made me this horrible, hideous, disgusting, horrendous monstrosity...you did this to me. Look at me. Everyone is going to be too afraid to even go near me now.”
“To be fair, everyone was ALREADY afraid of you and they still are.”
“But….i’m a monster…”
“Yes, Donald...you certainly are.You’ve always wanted to be feared, yes? I know that you don’t like being viewed as the bad guy, but in a way you kind of do. I know that you’ve always liked the feeling of having so much power inside you. You like power, don’t you? You like intimidating your so called prey, don’t ya? You’ve always wanted something like this to happen to you, haven’t you? Of course you do. And of course you have. What I have given you is actually a gift. You’ve always admired fierce and powerful types, right?”
“Yes….”
“Well there you go…”
“Am I really that monstrous?”
“In a way, yes you are.”
“But….”
“Donald...trust me on this. You really are quite a fierce monster, what I have done for you is not a curse by any means. Hear me out here. You came to me wanting to know my secrets and you wanted to be a creature of the night like myself. I have given you a gift that will make you even more feared than you already were before. You are now a vampire, just like me and as such - you can do whatever you want without people questioning your motives.”
“Does that include?”
“No, we don’t kill people...we feed on their blood to survive.”
“Oh…”
“There are also things you should know about being a vampire. One thing you should know is that vampires do not have reflections, secondly - avoid stakes, note that I said wooden stakes NOT Trump steaks. Also, avoid the daylight.”
“Got it…”
“You were a Lost Boy when I found you, Donald. But now that you are here, you have been found - for you are my vamprentice and now you must remember these words that I am going to share with you right now, listen closely indeed. For these words are vital and important and you’ll need to listen closely.”
“Alright..”
“First of all...Lost Boys don’t cry, blind boys don’t lie. Thou shall not fall, thou shall not die, thou thou shall not fear and thou shall not kill. These are very important and you must abide by these terms at all costs.”
“I understand perfectly…”
“Oh and another thing you must know about vampires is that sometimes they fall victim to the dreaded CBS problem. Now what does CBS stand for? Crap Bat Syndrome. You know in the movies when you see a vampire in bat-form and the bat form looks really stupid like it’s a bat puppet on strings or if it’s something equally as goofy? That’s Crap Bat Syndrome. Also, some vampires have sort of an OCD-like fixation on counting things.”
“You mean like Count Von Count who does the ‘One, two, four - ah ah ha!’ thing?”
“Yep...and also if it sparkles - then it’s NOT a vampire. Also if it is from Being Human, the From Dusk Till Dawn tv series or True Blood - it’s NOT a vampire either. Real vampires don’t break out in rashes or have bladder issues, they’re not snake-people unless you’re talking about Lair Of The White Worm and they’re not romanticized eye-candy either.”
“I have a question…”
“Yes…what is it?”
“Since i’m you know...Trump and everything, shouldn't that make me the Head Vampire? As in the vampire who is in charge? The boss vampire? I hope so. Because if i’m the head vampire that means i’m in charge. Am I the head vampire then? I hope I am, because i’d like that.”
“Technically yes, but you’re more of an apprentice head vampire. I am the actual head vampire though and you’re 2nd in command. I’m not saying you are a second banana to me or anything, you’re still in charge though.”
“Well thank goodness. For a second there I was worried about having to be some kind of Renfield type. I mean that just makes me squirm just thinking about it. Eating bugs? Eeew. That is so disgusting. So unsanitary too! And I was worried that you think of me as just a lackey/minion.”
“Donald...of course you’re not a second banana to me or anyone else.”
“Good. I can't imagine myself being a lackey or minion to anyone. Because as you know, I - Donald J. Trump, am nobody’s lackey or minion! I’m the one who gives the orders, I don’t take orders I give them. I am certainly nobody’s lackey! I may be an apprentice head vampire but i’m still in charge.”
“Donald...I think you and I are going to make a pretty fearsome team. But I think before we do anything, we’ve got to change a few things around. That is if you’re alright with it, first of all this location - it’s not suitable for us..we need to change it up a bit.”
“I have an idea…”
“Let’s hear it…”
Donald whispered in Nathan’s ear, explaining his plans for the location the both of them were currently in - within a few seconds later, Nathan used his powers to convert the place into a fine-looking vampire’s den for the both of them to do their hunting in, in addition to this he transformed the exterior and interior into a replica of Trump Tower.
“Now that’s more like it…”
“Any other ideas?”
“There is one more...how about we use an unconventional method of finding potential subjects to make into vampires? I’ve got it...we could have a TV show, I could be in it - it could be The Vamprentice and we could use it as a means of finding humans to sire and to add to our group.”
“Now that’s a clever idea…”
And with that the new idea was set and a tv show known as The Vamprentice was created, in this show humans had to do a series of tasks to prove they were capable of being vampire material and also those who impressed “The Donald” would be made part of his - and Nathan’s group of vampiric creatures of the night. The show became extremely popular and even spawned itself a video game and board-game adaptation. Of course both of them benefited from this and became a feared but also somewhat respected in someway team.
As for Donald, well he pretty much stayed the way he was but since he had vampire powers now he could turn into smoke/mist, turn into a bat-like creature, levitate, and also he was ageless and could live forever. Of course he did learn quite a lot from this experience, and he also learned to be less monstrous when around others, but sometimes he just couldn’t help himself, it’s a monster thing.
Remember, be careful about how you behave when RPing with others. Dodgy behavior such as pulling the ‘dictatorship’ and ‘god-modding’ card and killing other people’s characters and/or questioning their tactics could lead to dire consequences, especially if the person playing the character is an actual supernatural being and could teach you a lesson or two. Complaining never gets you anywhere either. Also remember, it is fun to play the bad guy but it’s not fun to alienate those around you or mistreat them, consider others and think before you act - or you might end up tempting fate in the worst way possible.
