here are some general guidelines for the species around here. if it's not listed, it's flexible. what's written here is what is set in stone.
vampires - To be turned - a person needs to have ingested vampire blood and then die/be killed from their mortal death. Generally this means a vampire is going to drain them of all their mortal blood to kill the.m
- Never drink blood from the dead; it's toxic.
- Dead man's blood can reduce the vampire curse, but ONLY IF the person has been bitten but not yet fed.
- Weaknesses are wooden stakes, fire, and sunlight. To go into sunlight, vampires need to have something echnaged to allow them to do so or they need to be covered in a hood/protective clothing. Any other specific weaknesses is dependent on your personal character. Beheading will also kill.
- Possess abilities of speed and are extremely poised and agile.
- Vampires feel a bond, whether or not they want to, with the person that turned them...known as their sire.
- Very dignified and noble-like.
- Most vampires[not the newbies] have the ability of compulsion. Compulsion is like hypnotism and can be done via gaze or a scent that's alluring.
lycans[werewolves]- To be turned - a simple bite is all that is needed to turn a person. Bitten people will not experience the true effect of lycanthropy until the first full moon.
- Weaknesses are silver, wolfsbane, and beheading. Wolfsbane will kill slowly over time like a poison but burns flesh.
- Lycans are controlled by the moon. Those who are older and in control of their abilities MAY be able to shift outside of the full moon but ALL will turn during it. Whether they are coherent or aware of their actions during the moon cycle is completely dependent on the individual.
- Changing is extremely painful as it involves breaking bone and tearing flesh.
- Lycans are pack animals. A rogue lycan is a rare thing.
- Strength, speed, and the obvious physical attributes are their greatest abilities. They are, however, usually more barbaric than vampires.
wiccans/gifted beings
This is a very broad category so I will not set a lot of limits with this. Wiccans include witches, warlocks, wizards, etc. A few examples would be: healers, potion masters, necromancers, shamans, seers, etc. Wiccans ARE technically mortals with gifts. Some live regular lives and all are susceptible to all human forms of death unless they are powerful to protect themselves against magic. Wiccans also do age and die, again, unless they are powerful enough to enchant themselves otherwise. In the wiccan category is whitelighters. Whitelighters are wiccans who are given special healing abilities. They are more or less the counterpart to demons as they are pure and want to help people. No matter the injury, whitelighters can heal it so long as the person is still alive.
halfbreedsHalf breeds are the result of two separate species that have procreated. Half breeds are weaker than pure bloods but take on two attributes of either species they are created from.
hunters/mortals
every supernatural being sees mortals as the inferior race and in many cases they are. mortals can look like absolutely anything and are the weakest of all species. mortals tend to get caught up in their emotions more so than the supernatural and sometimes it leads to their demise. as the supernatural see it, mortals are ignorant and incompetent which is why they tend to be a prime target. they are targeted by all three of the supernatural species seeing as they are easily manipulated. they can be easily killed and while they can fall in love with a supernatural being, procreation of any sort is impossible. there are a few mortals who are completely aware of the supernatural world. these mortals either had a run-in with something evil or are known as hunters. hunters use whatever possible to eliminate the supernatural races. how boring, eh?
demons Demons can come in many different shapes, forms, etc so you are free to choose what your demon can do. Demons include, reapers, shifters, djinn, incubus/succubus, etc. However, they must follow the few simple guidelines.
- Demons are are created through demonic reproduction, OR were once living humans who sold their souls to the devil.
- Demon weaknesses include crucifixes, holy relics, and holy water. Devil’s traps will bind them. Exorcism is the only thing that will rid them of this world though technically, it does not kill them, it only sends them back to hell.
- In demonic form, demons are ugly black beings with horns and leathery wings. However, demons have the ability to possess bodies or shapeshift which makes them blend in with the rest of the population.

Hierarchy
There are FOUR factions for supernatural beings, which are more or less alliances. To each species, there is a world group and a localized group. I.E. there is a head vampire council of very old, archaic vampires which is stationed overseas and one group who specifically oversees the San Francisco area. Most of these world groups are faceless for now, until we decide we need to further the plot. Most factions can have “rogue” members, meaning they don’t affiliate with their group or follow them. I.E. a lycan not belonging to a pack would be considered rogue.
In a broad sense, the elders of each group have announced war on one another. The purpose of each faction is to keep the peace among their own species and protect from the opposite species.
LYCAN WORLD PACK – LOCATED IN NEWFOUNDLAND ENOCH BIRCH MORGANA BIRCH CYRUS BIRCH LYCAN PACK – SF faction run by alpha Vidar Bystrom & family
VAMPIRE WORLD COUNCIL – LOCATED IN ITALY DEVANTE LOCKWOOD ESMERALDA LOCKWOOD MIRA LOCKWOOD VAMPIRE COUNCIL – SF faction run by _____ {3 elders} WICCAN WORLD FACTION IS ALSO THE SF FACTION RUN BY CALIGARI FAMILY
DEMONS REPORT TO LUCIFER, WHO AT THIS POINT IS A NPC. For this reason, there are no such things as “rogue” demons seeing as all report to hell. The group of demons is known as the horde.
