Tsukihime is a tale about the circle of protect and destroy, of redemption, of love.



Start from ages ago, when the vampire's ancestors still walked the earth, our main heroine, the True Ancestor Princess Arcueid Brunestud was desired by a human mage. Using a magical ritual and deceits, the man trick her into drinking his blood, forcibly took from her the magical power that make him into the Dead Apostle, the perverted master of vampire that we know. Unknowingly drinking blood, Arcueid enter a frenzy berserk mode and singlehandedly almost destroy her race. In order to atone for her sins and blunders, the Princess became a dedicated hunter to destroy the Apostles and their servants, the undead humans. Eight hundred years she rose from her slumber only to hunt and attack her enemies, then return to sleep, never live, never eat, never love.



Among the Dead Apostles there's a Anomaly: the vampire known as The Serpent. He lived forever by reincarnated among chosen humans throughout the ages. When he awoke the human's mind was destroyed and taken over. When the body died his soul leaved, slumber in limbo until a suitable body became avaible for his taking. One of his multitude victims is Ciel, a baker's daughters in France. When he was attacked and killed by Arcuied, the Serpent fled like before, but the body of Ciel didnt die. Miraculously, somehow her mind and soul prevailed against his mind-rape. She lived, but became the prisoner of the Inquisition, then choose to become their Agent to hunt down vampires and Apostles.



Cue to present, there's trouble brewing in a small city of Japan, that faraway Asian nation of the East. There's rumour of zombies, of vampires, and a whiff of Apostle. Ciel moved to investigate. Arcueid, awoken from her slumber, also start walking on those crowded streets. Uknown to them this land got protectors: the Clan of Tohno. The current head of the clan is the daughter Akiha who is fiercely protective of her older brother. Especially when the two older girls start crowded around Tohno Shiki, her blood is up.



And then there's the man Tohno Shiki himself. A boy in age, but his mind is of an experienced and tormented man. He start late in this chronicle, but he will be the focal point, the Eye of Maelstrom. Everything hinge on his character, his actions, his choices. Will the tale be a love comedy, or a tragic 5 part play, or ended in a thud, no one knows... The only thing we can do is watch, and pray for our favourites.
