Every morning the sun rises on Ellensburg, Washington - a flourishing town complete with a long-standing historical background, a flourishing tourist trade, and a thriving college within its all-American borders. Every morning, the school busses run, the college students sleep off hangovers, and the town gossips circulate the latest about racy middle-aged affairs that nobody actually wants to envision. In short, mornings in Ellensburg bring about normalcy...something the town has a bit of an /issue/ with at night. No, there's not much evidence of it, really. Sure, there have been an odd number of disappearances lately. And yeah, it can be a little creepy near the woods at night, but who goes out there anyway? Oh! And some of the elders in town sometimes tell stories about the town's mythical or magical past or something, but it's all talk. That's what they like to believe, anyway. In truth, Ellensburg is much more than the northwest's hundredth clone of Smalltown, USA. It's a meeting place for the outcasts of the daylight - the vampires, the werewolves, the ones with magical abilities. Maybe it's because of the high deposit of precious gems in the earth below the town, or the rich historical past, maybe not. It sure is something - a something that the residents have yet to discuss over the morning paper. Hold on, Ellensburg. Bloodlines is a MUSH set within the theme of the Vampire Diaries series. The game takes place in a different town without any of the characters from the series and is based mostly around college-aged characters. Original and creative concepts welcomed.
