The idea first started back in Nov 2020. One of the things that inspired me is SMITE, I love playing this MMORP game, because you play diverse characters from mythology. And another inspiration that I had is from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that is the series that I’ve read when I was in High School. I also loved one of the most celebrated series of all time, Supernatural. If you’re not too familiar with the series, it’s not actually a gloomy, serious, dark tv series a lot of people may know. It has a LOT of goofy episodes and a lot of other AU-like themes, kind of like fanfiction. There are also gods involved in the series but they were only background characters.
As to why I chose vampires as my main characters is because of the game. I used to dislike them but playing them made me love their quirkiness! I haven’t watched nor read pop culture vampires from Vampire Diaries nor Twilight except from the baddies from Supernatural and the 90’s Dracula with Keanu Reeves. So they’re not so sparkly and I don’t want to sugar coat how they can be gory and scary.
Because I was influenced by Smite, PJatO, and SPN, I chose to insert various gods from mythology and how they’re corrupting the world so that the original characters I made would give light to there evilness. Of course, we wouldn’t put too much religion in it but I admit I did like the way Castlevania from Netflix portrayed the church’s dark side.
Thanks for reading through this and I want to thank you @moonbeamsims for tagging me!
