The year is 2012, and Queen Victoria rules the British Empire with an immortal fist. 175 years ago, she became the very first fully plagued monarch in Europe. Centuries of exposure to something called the plague in Europe, beginning with the "mad" King George III's reign, the British (and other noble and royal families) began to display more and more vampiric and lycanthropic tendencies as the years went on. When Victoria took the crown, the vampires and lycans were already ousted as being the political power of the world. 175 years later, the world is in relative peace; the Aristocracy (the collection of vampires and weres in the UK) and the halvies (half-vampire/lycan and half human) live in peace with the humans. However, there are some who believe the humans should not be as low as they are in society, that they should be able to part of the government as well, while others are content with keeping them in civilian jobs. And then there are those who believe humans are nothing more as food for the vampires, nothing better, and should be slaves, scarred by the Great Insurrection of 1937, when humans rose up in the UK and slaughtered thousands of the Aristocracy. Following the example, that same year humans in other countries assasinated many members of their own royals, thrusting Nicholas II onto the throne of Russian Tsar and Wilhelm II onto that of the Kaiser of Germany that same year.
But, now, 175 years into the reign of Her Ensanguined Majesty Queen Victoria, there has been a shift in tide. The United States of America has elected a human President, a young man by the name of Theodore Roosevelt. To the shock of the Queen and the rest of the world, the young President plans to serve his full term.
Now, a street war has been brewing in the British Empire between those with differing views on human's place in society. It threatens to begin on the streets of London, and with all the other kinds of vampires, lycans, and whatever else coming out of the woodwork, will it spread to the rest of the world and further widen the divide?
