Ares Awakens as a Vampire and Strikes Lucifer in Rijii’s Day 25 Roleplay

AKA VIRTUAL — Rijii’s character Ares awakened as a vampire during Day 25 of the #narasiroleplay story series, growing wings and tattoos in front of Lucifer and swinging at him as his mother was punished. The stream ran more than five hours.

The night opened at a wedding reception for two characters, where the family took seats among the guests, joined a prize quiz and waited for the photographer. Afterward, the family found themselves unable to move and were brought before Lucifer. He accused Ares’s mother and her demon friend of wasting the trust he had given them for the sake of their vampire families, and demanded that the pair come to him. Medusa, another demon, stood beside him and was named as the one who had been whispering against them.

“He’d been bottling it up for so long, and then he saw Mami being tortured and got angry.” — Rijii, explaining Ares’s transformation to viewers

As Ares’s mother was tormented, his seal came undone. His hair turned black, tattoos spread across his arms and a pair of wings appeared. After the stream’s game crashed mid-scene, Ares struck Lucifer before the family pulled him back. Rijii then stepped out of the scene to show viewers the new look, with its tattoos, fangs and glowing eyes, and said the change came from Ares holding in his emotions for so long.

Ares’s mother then explained the family’s history: she and Medusa had once served Lucifer together, and she left that life for her husband and children. She said vampires live under a peace agreement with hunters and may drink only animal blood, and that the family had sealed the children to keep hunters away. Lucifer’s terms for restoring her strength, she said, were the hearts of a nun and a priest. She asked Ares not to hate her for it, and he said he would do whatever the family needed.

On a tower rooftop, and later at a ritual site the family uses, his uncles joined in. They told Ares to learn to fly, to control his thirst and to stay careful around hunters, and revealed that the police officer Ario is one. As the night closed, the family worked out a cover story of skin irritation for his tattoos and red eyes.
