Character Descriptions

Vampires

Vampires are undead creatures of the night. They sleep in coffins, or underground during the day. A light tight container works as well. Young vampires sleep during the day and cannot be awoken, but the older a vampire is, the more they can stay awake during the day. If they stay awake past sunrise they get a case of the bleeds, where blood starts to leak from their nose, eyes, and mouth. They must avoid sunlight because it causes them to burn. They must drink blood, and they can live off of a synthetic blood. The older the vampire the less blood they have to drink. Young vampires don’t have any special powers other than the super strength, and the speed. The older a vampire gets the more they are able to do. Some vampires can even fly (Must be over 1000 years old to fly). Password: Drain. A vampire will die if exposed to sunlight, a stake is driven through their heart, or they are decapitated. Vampires cannot enter a human’s house without the permission of the person living there. If a vampire and human exchange blood three times the human is bonded to a vampire and the vampire can locate the human. To be made a vampire the human must have been drained of blood and given the vampire’s blood just before death. The vampire will be buried with the human and the next night the human will rise again as a vampire. Vampires are loyal to their masters, even after they have been released. The vampires have strict rules, and if one of them is broken the vampire will be taken before the magistrate. The states of the United States are divided up into kingdoms and they are presided over by a ruler. They are divided into areas and there is a sheriff presides over them. They have fangs that are hidden unless they are feeding, or there is an intense emotion like anger. Most vampires can compel people, and that is called glamour. Vampires can run faster than humans, and they are stronger than humans. Vampires are no longer human, and some even believe that humans are merely a food source. They have an unearthly beauty that seems to attract humans to them. Vampires are attracted to faerie blood, and they can’t seem to stop themselves when they get around faeries.

Wereshifters and animal shifters

All shifter’s abilities show at puberty. There is no shifting younger than the age of 10. To produce a shifter child the child is the first born of the parents. The parents must both be shifters and can be of the same animal as well. There isn’t more than one shifter in a family, unless the other was adopted or from another coupling with a different person. Conceiving a child is difficult for shifters, and miscarriages are common. Any form of shifter must shift at a full moon. If they see it they change. The abilities of shifters are pretty much the same. They have heightened senses, heightened speed, and heightened strength. They live as long as humans and age the same. If they are changed into a vampire they lose their ability to shift.

• Wereshifters turn into only one animal, and it is normally a predator. Most can shift whenever they want, but again they must when they see a full moon. Werewolves are the most common shifters. Usually mean werewolf. Wereshifter password: Birth. They are superior to all other shifters. Any other weres have a suffix on the end of the animal that they turn into (werepanther, weretiger, werefox… ect.) They often organize into packs, but it depends on the type of the anima. Most of the packs have a hierarchy and laws as well as rituals and customs. Some of the larger animals are rare (lions, tigers, and bears (oh my !)).
  
• Bitten Weres are turned only when they are bitten repeatedly by a pure were/shifter. They can not turn into a full animal, and they only shift at the full moon. They are seen as outcasts by the pure weres. When they shift they are never fully one creature. Bitten Password: Bite. They are part one and part human. (If you wish to have a bitten were please describe it. If you wish to have yours turned please have permission from the were character, and an admin.)
  
• Shapeshifters are rare. They have the ability to shift into any animal at will. They must have the animal close at hand to model themselves after. They usually have a go-to animal that they shift into the most often. Though their abilities surpass the others they are considered the lowest in the shifter community. Shapeshifter Password: Multi. They are hardly ever in packs, and they hardly ever meet another that is like them.

Faeries

Faeries are very beautiful and all supernatural people are not able to resist them. Their scent is intoxicating to vampires and they can't help but to bite them and drain them. They have pointed ears that can be surgically altered to look like human’s ears. They have thick skin and claws and sharp teeth. Faeries do not come from the earth. They come from another world entirely. They live in the faerie realm that can be connected to the earth. Humans cannot go to the faerie world. (The faerie world is home to minorities, but they are not playable. No vampires are allowed to live in Faery) Faeries have supernatural abilities that are above the normal human level, and they include: superhuman strength, superhuman beauty, and telepathy. The fae age slower than humans, (1 year added to looks for every 20-30 human years (Claude was about 400 and didn't even look older than 25)) and they can live many centuries while aging only a couple of decades. Faeries are not immortal, and certain things can kill them. A faerie’s life is shorter in the human realm. Iron is potent to them, and so is citrus. Citrus is potent if ingested, and some have varying reactions when touched with it. Iron can kill them with just a touch. Faeries do not leave a corpse, but they turn to dust when they die. Their spirit alerts a sibling that they have died, then their soul departs for summerland. Faeries can poof from one place to the other, but it takes a small amount of energy. Faeries specialize in one element while young, and they can use it to their advantage. Powers carry in the blood. Password: Beauty. Their powers over the elements are weak at best, but the more they stay in the human world the more the power weakens. Faeries can ascend to the ranks of an angel if they are good enough, but it takes centuries of being good, and being a fairy god mother. Faeries can also descend to the ranks of demons.

Demons

Demons are like faeries except that they have fallen from the ranks of good grace. They are not immortal, like their faerie brethren, but they can live centuries. Their lives are shorter in the human world. Unlike faeries demons cannot poof from one place to the other. Their blood is corrosive to vampires, and it can kill them. When a demon dies their body cannot be eaten by other creatures, and it won’t degrade. Password: Fallen. Demons are strong like faeries, but do not have any special abilities.(If they do it must be in you app, and it can be up to admin approval.)

Maenads

Maenads are immortal so long as they have faith in their god Dionysus. They are completely devoted to their god, and they will try anything to have rituals to worship their god. They love displays of violence, sexual activities, drunkenness, death and ritual. Maenads can manipulate human minds, and very rarely supernatural humans if they were infected with their claws. They cause humans to feel extreme ecstasy, but it leads to memory loss. Password: Chaos. Most of what they cause looks like a frenzy of movement. They often ask for tribute, and can cause havoc when it isn’t received. They are proud and arrogant and they often force humans to follow them. They have corrosive blood and can kill a vampire if they ingest it. They are ancient and must be approved by an admin.

Witches & Wiccans

Witches are born into a family that has the ability to use magic. Witch Password: Coven. Witches grow up using magic. Wiccans have devoted their lives to studying the art of witch craft. Killing magic is forbidden, and if found out the person is punished. Witches and wiccans have mentors that train them. Witches normally join a coven, but some stay outside of the groups and prefer to practice alone. All magic is meant to be peaceful and helpful. Some are rituals that can help, but others are just simple spells. Wiccan Password: Study. All magic takes power, and not person has unlimited power.

Humans

Humans are only aware of the existence of vampires. That is only because they came out of the coffin. They don’t really have anything special about them, well their mortality is special. Human Password: Blood. They have no other special abilities (though telepaths are in the series, only the cannon telepaths are allowed). If you want your character to use magic then make a wiccan.

Hybrids

Hybrids are a combination of two species. They are very rare, and you have to have an admin's permission to make one. Password: Mix-up
