THE RACES
Humans
normal human beings, just like in the real world but set in a small town in southern Louisiana. and occult magic is allowed. if your charry needs a house board or business board made for you, please contact an admin
Vampires:
human like nocturnal beings, with fangs, that suck blood or drink synthetic blood (which since the vamps came out of the closet so to speak there are now several types of synthetic blood out there sold in bottles just like beer or something). Vamps have super strength, speed, and senses. They don't have a problem with garlic other than it can cause sneezing attacks in some vamps who have sensitive noses They can and do eat real food. They do need blood or synthetic blood however on a daily basis, like taking vitamins they need it to stay healthy and strong. they do have reflections in mirrors they have no problem with churches or crosses, some even have various faiths and go to church on a regluar basis they can't go out in daylight or they'll burst into flames they can heal themselves instantly they can't get pregnant or impregnant someone else, and females never have to suffer a period ever again they can go without breathing for up to an hour they do have a heart but they can slow it's beating to the point where it beats only once in an hour they can hypnotize humans with their gazes they can alter their own pheromones to entice or repel humans they can speak telepathically to other vamps they can live forever as long as they drink blood or synthetic blood at least once a night in order to stay healthy they can by choice enter a hibernation and sleep as a stone statue for decades, and come out of the hibernation by choice, or by the taste of blood on their stone lips they can turn humans into vampires by sucking nearly all the human's blood taking the human literally to the brink of death and with consent from the human feed the human half of their vamp blood which will cause a human to die and reawaken as vampire (some take days to die others are instant, it depends on how close to death the vampire actually takes the human before turning them) however humans can consume vamp blood in fact it gives humans the feeling of being high on the best drug ever and is a highly sought after commodity in the illegal drug industry and also in the medical industry (due to the fact that it also causes rapid healing in humans). Vamps have a royal system, the oldest vampire, Judas, is the king of all vamps, he promoted a group of 13 vamps to the position of Princes and Princesses, and each of the Princes and Princesses promoted 13 to the position of Elders (169 elders), and each of the Elders promoted 13 vamps to the position of Barons (2197 barons), the Barons each promoted 13 vamps to the position of Dukes and Duchesses (28561 dukes), and the Dukes each promoted 13 vamps to the position of Lords and Ladys (371293 lords), but all other vamps are just peasants who serve their makers since all vamps can turn people. Lords/Ladies are like sheriffs responsible for a town or city Dukes/Duchesses are like govenors responsible for a state or a certain region Barons/Baronesses are like presidents responsible for countries or large regions Elders are like the UN responsible for the whole world, this is the ruling counsel of the vampires, they are the decision makers who lay down vamp law and govern the vampires, they are the only court of the vamps. Princes/Princesses have mostly gone into hibernation, however a couple have remained awake, they do not often bother with the rule of the elders, and are more content to live like retired old folk who go where the whim takes them, however princes and princesses are more wise and have obviously had more time to practice their specific tribal magic so they are not vamps you want to pick a fight with, especially since the elders tend to treat them like royalty and will take their side over that of some peasant. When a vamp turns a human into a vamp, the new vamp will always feel a connection to their maker, a loyalty that goes blood deep no matter how despicable and unfeeling the new vamp gets or how old he or she ever lives, they will always feel that soul deep need to obey their own maker as long as their maker still lives. however a maker can sever the ties, block the telepathic link the maker and companion share, and send the outcast away Only those higher up in the chain of command can promote others when a position opens because of the death of a vamp or a vamp releasing a title by choice, for example only the King can promote a vamp to Prince, only an Elder can promote a vamp to Baron, and so on. Vamps can die, they can starve to death (not drinking blood of any kind for a full month, though this is a very very very very painful experience and if they go without blood for a couple of weeks without going into hibernation they become literally insane as it starts killing off their brain cells) they can die by beheading (literally separating the spine from the spinal column, just breaking their neck wont work you actually have to take off their head) the can die by burning up in sunlight (they self combust if they stay in the sunlight more than a few minutes, but some older vamps can withstand sunlight combustion for up to ten minutes) but unlike the legends piercing their hearts wont kill them. Because vamps live so long they take emotions, things such as love and hate, very very seriously, intuition is a big part of decision making for them, however they try to balance this emotional side by logical thinking and planning, but to vamps life should be lived and enjoyed to it's fullest, why worry about death when they are nearly immortal, and to them life is the most precious thing of all so most hesitate to kill anyone whether human or werewolf or another vamp, that doesn't mean there aren't a few vamps out there that are murders who love to kill, it's just that the majority of vamps value the gift of life and their own near immortality. The original vampire, Judas, turned 13 and gave them the titles of Prince and Princess. These 13 each had unique magical skills given to them by Judas, and from them are created the 13 differing vampires tribes. It is not known by any within the vamp race what has happened to King Judas, only that he disappeared a few short months after putting this tribal heirchy into place and has never resurfaced, though he is rumored to sleep as a statue in some buried pyramid or the tomb of Vlad the Impaler, but its just a story. None of this means that those of title can not create a vamp simply as a companion, they are not limited to just turning 13, they can create as many vamps as they want to. some of those in title are very tribal prejudiced, meaning that they only want to surround themselves with members of their own tribe, while others like Lady Midnight, welcome all vampires of all tribes who wish to live in her town. You might also notice that the vamps with a title also often think themselves resposnible for the humans that live within the areas they control, some of them often develop a bit of a god complex. When you're turned your maker is of a certain tribe, so you are of the same tribe as your maker and can never switch tribes or gain more magic than is what is given through the blood when you are turned.

Werewolves:
human-like during the day, but by night they turn into part canine part human creatures, wolves that walk on 2 legs, from most human's nightmares. Wolves have a pack hierarchy, the pack is only as strong as it's alpha male and each pack is like it's own community, many packs do not get along with other packs. Each pack has their own hunting grounds, won by victory in battle with other packs, and wolves are very territorial, and why shouldn't they be when they had to kill others of their own race in order to get the hunting grounds they now control. Wolves are a race of brute force, you become alpha by fighting the current alpha and winning. Some packs claim you have to kill the alpha to become alpha, others believe you can give the old alpha mercy if he asks for it, each pack is different. Wolves have a male dominate society, meaning its always an alpha male that is in charge in a pack. There are alpha females, these are the females who are most often the mate of the alpha male but not always, they are the ones who control the females of the pack, they decide on matters of pairing up mates or when to send the younger males away from the pack in an attempt to protect the current alpha from being challenged by his own pack's offspring. When wolves are mated, they are mated for life, like a marriage that has no divorce, this doesn't mean they can't have sex with others, but they are essentially married when they are mated to another wolf as far as their society is concerned. And no it is not uncommon for an alpha female of a pack to force arranged matings on her pack. Wolf females mated with wolf males have liters of 2 to 5 children, they are born appearing as normal puppies and remain in normal canine form until they are six months old and then suddenly turn human-like during the day and canine at night like their parents. wolves can mate with humans wolf males are very potent, so impregnantion is easy as long as the female is not sterile. if the female he impregnantes is human the child will be completely human, and the only way to have more than one child is if multiples run in the human female's genetics or she is on fertility drugs that cause her to produce more than one viable egg a month (if you don't understand all this stuff that you probably learned in health class then pm Cassi for a more info) wolf females because they produce 3 to 5 viable eggs each month can give birth to a group, if the male is human the children will be completely human, however it is possible for a wolf female to give birth to a set of human triplets that have 3 totally different human fathers, makes that whole idea of paternity suits rather frightening doesn't it lol children born from a human and wolf mating are completely human and have no special abilities, however some of these human offspring have the ability to get a sort of sixth sense vibration when around werewolves that lets them know that the wolf is not a normal person, and some have the ability to pick up on a strange subtly musky scent when around wolves that let them know the person smells differnet from other normal people Wolves can be killed like most humans as long as what you kill them with is silver, but they have the same super speed, strength, and senses like a vamp which makes it hard to kill them for a normal human being. And like vamps, wolves can heal themselves. However werewolf blood acts as a poison when a human consumes it. Werewolves can turn a human into a wolf, first they need to bite a human and let the human live, (although the wounds sometimes get infected) and then find a way to force the injured human to taste the werewolf's blood, then on the next full moon the human will die and be reborn as a wolf. If the human consumes werewolf blood it will just kill the human, but if they've been bitten by a wolf at any point in their lives and then consume the wolf blood, they will be turned into a wolf. vamp blood might help humans heal faster, but werewolf blood will just make a human sick. Vampires and werewolves have a dislike of one another because a werewolf was the one who persuaded Judas to betray God, or at least that is the legend that is carried down through generations of werewolves, whether it is actually true or not no one actually knows but many believe and many other don't, it's really a matter of opinion. Vamps can consume wolf blood with only a slightly gassy feeling of indegestion, but wolves react to the taste of vampire blood like it's ipecac syrup making them instantly barf it up until there is no more vamp blood to barf up. Because wolves die more often, whether by their own race's hand or by vampire's or human's hands, they are more geared toward survival, to procreate, to hunt, to do battle, these are their primary drives in life, the idea of true love isn't really given much thought, life is too short, it is more important to make sure their own pack survives than it is to love in their society. however many lone wolves, those males and females who have been pushed out of or left a pack, for a longer time, often have a more happy outlook on life, often forming connections and blending into human society better and are usually much more adaptable and forgiving than those who go immediately from one pack to having their own pack. although there are exceptions, there are some lone wolves who are more content to be alone, who do not make connections or settle into a human society, these anti-social wolves are often the most dangerous to pick a fight with, as they have no reason to live other than their own survival and often react instantly like a cornered wild animal. incest can happen, if there is no alpha female, or no one who is keeping track of the bloodlines in the pack, then it is possible for a male and female of the same bloodline to mate. the children of these incestuous matings often are born with deformities either in their human or wolfen form (meaning they can appear beautifully human but be horribly disfigured looking when they are in wolf form) or with mental problems (such as manic depression and schizophrenia) and the sad truth is that these wolves with debilitating shortcomings such as insanity will be a liablity for the pack, are often put to death by the alpha male, as it is the alpha male's job to not only guide his pack, but to make those sorts of hard decisions to kill their own in order to ensure the survival and safety of the pack as a whole.
Each wolf pack has: alpha male - pack leader alpha female - leader of females, approves mates beta male - guards the alphas beta female - pack teacher gamma male - faith keeper, he says the prayer before a battle, and ensures the pack believes in the alpha gamma female - record keeper, she keeps track of pack's bloodlines, the pack's history, the pack's changes delta male & delta female - inventors epsilon male - guards the pups epsilon female - cares for the pups
