Renaissance of the Myth

The year is 2125, after a long decade of war, civilization is worn out and the earth has run low on all resources. All the advancements of the modern age are useless now as everybody is merely fighting to survive.
The humans have won the war against the Vampires, but not due to strength, the Vampires defeated themselves. The once united Vampire Guild has split into two factions, one the Western Empire and the other the Eastern Empire. During a long and hard war the Vampires have been decimated to only a few hundred and finally they agreed to a truce.

The Vampires have lost their inability to transform any humans - they had become infertile. RANDOLPHIO patron of the arts and culture, wants to establish a Vampiric society just as it had existed in the 20th century,  vampires lived in hiding and  were puppet masters behind all politics and business. But CYRUS wants power and he didn’t want to hide. He kidnapped the top scientists and forced them to develop a artificial transformation process, which he would be able to create a Vampire army and also to develop a Cloning technology to create a Human Clone, with which he could populate the planet and provide easy pray for them. The clones would be Human without ambition and will only be a mindless herd of Prey. This wasn’t Cyrus’s only plan, he wanted to wipe out what was left of the humans and the rest of the other vampires, who aposed him. He was developing a secret weapon, a bomb that would take all life but leave all buildings undamaged.

One Night Randolphio’s Compound is shaken by an explosion. When Randolphio looks out onto the City, the devastation is moving towards him. He runs towards his bunker and locks himself into a Cavern, just in time to miss the wave rumbling through his compund. A few moments later the attack is over and Randolphio leaves his hideout.  He drives down into to the city and only sees dead people, the ground is littered with death. But all the buildings are still intact. He knows that this has been Cyrus’s work.
On his way back he is stopped by a group of humans which seem to be the only survivers. He offers refuge in his house as he knows that he will need allies if he wants to stand against Cyrus.

Soon Cyrus starts to deploy his Clones and the City is soon full of them. But he also deploys his Artificial Vampire Fighters to look for Survivors and to monitor the Clones.
Randolphio and his group are starting a Guerilla war against Cyrus and his troops. They must stop Cyrus and as long as Randolphio can protect the humans, the World might have the chance to return as it was.
