*-------vampires!

the basics

we've all heard about these creatures who drink the blood of the living. vampires are the living that were infected and now are the undead, drinking the blood of others to survive. unlike other vampires, the vampires on this site are capable of walking in the sunlight, though it weakens them the more they do it. and drinking blood isn't a necessity. sure you will become as weak as a human, but you won't die. they can eat normal human food, but aren't limited to either or. blood can be either animal or human though human strengthens the vampires body more than animal. if you are a vampire that has decided to go off of blood forever, you have to be more than 60 years old. the craving of blood is the driving force of the vampire and until they've lived for a long time, they have no idea who to control their cravings that well.

creation

vampires are created from a bite. this we all know right. well actually on this site, a human must drink or somehow ingest a vampires blood and then die with the vampires blood still in their system. and the from there, the vampire in waiting has to go through two days of complete and utter hell via pain and otherwise as the vampire venom in the vampire blood goes through their system. then, after those two days are up, you have yourself a new vampire. it takes a newborn at least two years before they can start to wean themselves off of the large amount of blood they need to survive.

appearances

all in all, vampires look just like humans, despite the fact that under sunlight, they are pale and have dark eyes. a vampire doesn't pump blood, so their skin is cool to the touch. and so we come to the topic about fangs and the face. a vampire has a weird thing happen with their face when they are close to feeding or are unable to control their emotions. firstly, their eyes go completely black and dark red veins spread around their eyes and down their face, the greater the urge, the darker the color red. secondly, their fangs grow out of their mouths, not replacing other teeth, but coming out of a hidden socket in their gums. any vampire over the age of 2 can mostly control when their faces change, but newborns, or vampires who are drinking animal, or not drinking at all, or in a heightened sense of stress, such as sex, violence, or hunger can't control when this happens, though they can tell when their face will change.

strengths and weakness

as they are the supernatural, vampires have abilities that others do not. they are stronger than normal humans, being easily able to punch a hole in a concrete wall and also faster, enough to stop a speeding bullet. they use this speed to jump up high, or leap across distances, the height or length of the leap or jump depending on how fast the vampire is moving. the older the vampire, the stronger and the faster they are. vampires have normal skin so they can be cut or stabbed or shot, but since they are dead, none of this truly affects them. no vampires do not heal miraculously fast, but instead take a shorter amount of time, like a few days to heal, the speed of the speed of the healing process depending on how much fresh blood they have in their system. vampires are weak to fire and a herb called vervain. fire can kill them, and vervain, if ingested in large amounts at once, can kill as well. if a vampire ever comes into contact with fire, or intense intense heat, such as a brand, then the vampire can not heal itself fully and will have a scar. the only creature than can truly kill a vampire, is a nymph. these creatures have a type of poison, that if it comes into contact with the vampires blood, will kill it.

*-------werewolves!

the basics

these are the second best known creatures ever. these beings are associated with wolves and being giant humanoid man wolves. well on this site, they just turn into wolves. more about this in the appearance section. werewolves are creatures that have two forms, a human one and a wolf one. modern day werewolves can turn whenever they want, but on the full moon they must make the change. if a werewolves temper, which is generally higher than a normal humans overloads, then the change can be triggered as well. werewolves can eat anything they want, including animals as their stomachs are adjusted to raw meat as well as everything else.

creation

unlike the usual werewolf stories, werewolves are only created through birth. one or both of the parents have to carry the werewolf gene wether is it active or dormant, and yes, the gene if never triggered can lay dormant. the werewolf gene is triggered by a stressful situation around the time of the full moon around the time of puberty.

appearances

like it was stated above, the werewolves aren't giant half man wolf things. instead they look just like regular wolfs. boring? no! these wolves are the size of large ponies. in their human form, they look just like humans, but if they get angry or are in a height of stress, they're eyes can shift into those of their wolf form. now for the transformations. the transformations aren't smooth and easy. no, being a werewolf means pain and lots of it. since their bones have to shift and relocate themselves, werewolves must have at least 5 minutes to change. newer werewolves need longer and older werewolves can take less.

strengths and weakness

werewolves have a few abilities that others don't. in their human form, they are strong, potentially stronger than vampires, and have all of their sense heightened. when they are in their wolf form everything enhances and they are able to run almost as fast as a full grown vampire. though they are stronger, they are not faster. healing is faster than a normal humans, but not miraciously fast. a werewolf can die by being beheaded or having their heart stopped. werewolves can be hurt by silver and wolfsbane and they are exposed to either or these for a long time, they could have fatal affects.

*-------shifters!

the basics

these creatures are not that well known in either the supernatural world and the human world. these beings are able to shift into different animals. these creatures aren't forced to shift as any time, but when they are under alot of stress they will make the change. instead of being ruled by lunar cycles, these creatures are ruled by their emotions. shifters can eat anything they want, as they are pretty much humans with a slight difference.

creation

shifters, like werewolves are born, not created. either one or both of the parents must carry the shifter gene within themselves. the shifter gene is often triggered during puberty and can be caused by anything.

appearances

shifters look like normal humans. the only thing that changes is that they can shift into different animals. they can be any animals as long as they have seen the animal before. usually the shifter has one basic form that they prefer, but any animals is allowed. don't make the original form something stupid that would stand out in a small town, like a elephant or a lion

strengths and weakness

shifters aren't super strong or super fast. they are stronger than normal humans for sure, but other than that all they have is a heightened sense of smell and sight.

*-------humans!

the everything!

If you don't know about your own race, then that's just sad. Since you are a human, you should know what being human is about. It may not seem all that cool as we don't have super strength or can turn into wolves, but we have our own set of abilities that creatures won't be able to have. Our humanity. So since we're human, I'm not going to write any more about this species.

*-------nymphss!

the basics

we've probably all heard about these creatures. usually their are believed to be young women who are irresistible beyond belief, who can only be found in small locations. well, this is wrong. nymphs are actually deadly creatures, and are not to be taken lightly. it true that while nymphs give off a scent that attract humans to them, they aren't irresistible, and aren't just girls. though they can survive on their own, nymphs tend to live in families, or clans, preferring the company of their own kind. nymph's blood has amazing qualities to it, like being able to heal the dead and cure the thirst in vampires, so this lead to nymphs being hunted to almost excitation. though they are rare, they aren't uncommon either, and you can always find some type of clan living in different areas. unfortunately, nymphs has to forms, their real one, and their human, and their diet, though human, must consist of raw meat around the time of the full moon. like werewolves and shifters, nymphs draw their power from the moon, and are strongest at the full moon. though they are not forced to shift, they are forced to partake in their own rituals during this time, to "replenish their energies". nymphs are able to use the forces of natures to do their bidding. this includes things like manipulating any of the elements, and healing others using the energy they gain from the moon. be warned though, if a nymph doesn't replenish their energy during a full moon, they cannot use their magic, and they cannot use their human disguise.

creation

nymphs are born from nymph parents. it's kind of gross, but the nymphs parents must be brother and sister and both carry the nymph gene.

appearances

nymphs have two forms. the first is their human one, which is what they are born into and their nymph one. each sex differents slightly, but for the most part are the same. when a nymph shifts into their original form, their feet and hands elongate, growing claws and all of their teeth turn into fangs. even in their human form their teeth are slightly pointed. next the eyes. when a nymph shifts, it's eyes go completely white. it's eyes can do this at anypoint, like when a nymph is using one of it's abilities, or even if the nymph looses control of it's emotions for a second. here is where things are different. each nymph has something unique about them. for girls, it is a pair of retractable wings, which can look like anything depending on the family. for boys, it is a tail.

strengths and weakness

as they are the supernatural, nymphs have abilities that others do not. they are stronger than normal humans, being easily able to punch a hole in a concrete wall and also faster, enough to stop a speeding bullet. they use this speed to jump up high, or leap across distances, the height or length of the leap or jump depending on how fast the nymphs is moving. nymphs are the only creatures that can kill vampires with their bare hands, and because of this, nymphs are completely vulnerable against hunters and werewolves. they have skin just like a humans and can be killed by the same means as one. if a nymph uses up all of it's energy before a full moon, it cannot use any of it's special abilities and if a nymph doesn't recharge itself, it will revert into it's nymph form and slowly begin to die.
