Nocte - The Night Wars (OOC) Tcab96 & Blue Moon Queen
Seven billion humans populate the Earth now, yet most of society knows nothing about the supernatural beings that lurk just around the corner. Perhaps humans do not wish to know or perhaps they are simply blind to the truth. Indeed, the world is full of creatures from vampires to werewolves to dragons and more.
Yet such a populated world and so many beings create conflict. Vampires and werewolves still battle over ancient feuds. Beings that pretend to be angels prey on humans and are battled back by ancient bestial protectors.
The modern world is developing faster and faster, increasing the risk that someday the humans will find the other world in front of their eyes. The war brewing among all the species increases the danger and all the beings know and try to avoid it.
Recently, many important figures of the supernatural world have gone missing - kidnapped. The werewolves blame the vampires for the kidnapping of their princess; the vampires blame them for their missing king. Witch covens have lost mystical items of power and blame demons for stealing them. All these disappearances seem strangely timed and yet no one thinks it is anything but their enemies.
A huge war, a war kept secret from the humans, is beginning.

Information:
The year is 2012 and the RP can take place all across the world, though you might want to make sure there other people in your area. Certain areas around the world will be deemed ‘hotspots’ where battles are likely to take place. I will make note of these places here and maybe make a map of this.
Supernatural Species follow a few rules of their own.
Humans must know nothing about the Supernatural World.
Modern weapons are not to be used in warfare.
Of course many outcasts, underdogs, or hunters disobey the rules.
Any species is allowed, please just check it with me and make sure you give a detailed description of the race so that I can add it to the list below. Hybrids are allowed as well. Characters that have huge powers have to be within reason and must have weaknesses that make it fair to other players. Some species I might restrict in number such as dragons.
Vampires
Vampires are an ancient race, separate from humans for millions and perhaps billions of years yet created from humans most commonly. Vampires can be created from a human or can be born, though natural born vampires are extremely rare. Vampires do not have unlimited potential, each vampire has a set cap dependent on will-power, characteristics, the soul, and such things. Only the stronger vampires, Master Vampires, can create new vampires. New-born vampires are under the control of their sire unless they grow strong enough to break away. Humans who drink a vampire’s blood are under the control of that vampire and they are known as Blood-slaves.
The strengths of a vampire generally include abnormal strength, speed, senses, and animalistic grace and ferocity. The weaknesses of vampire depend on their sire and clan but some weaknesses span over the entire vampire species. Night-walkers are burned severely by sun, though the more powerful can survive sun for up to a few minutes, and are damaged by silver. Holy water does not affect Night-walkers, nor do crosses and wood. Day-walkers are impervious to the sun but are affected by certain types of wood and are extremely weak against silver.
Mage-Humans
-This category includes any type of magic wielding humans.
Witches and Warlocks: These magical humans use potions, complex casting circles, and basic forms of magic.
Mages: Use ancient magics fueled by a higher being.
Wizards: These humans learn magic through spells and experience but they must have a certain calling for it.
Sorcerers: Sorcerers use pure force of will to coax out magic from themselves and other objects or beings.
Enchanters: These magic-wielders use only passive magic by creating potions, casting spells on objects, or otherwise modifying something's properties.
Shifters
-Shifters are a large group in the supernatural world. Any creature that has a human form and a beastly form is considered a shifter.
Werewolves
Werewolf System:
King and Queen - the one with the royal blood is given the power while the other is his/her lifelong consort.
The Council - Wolves dedicated to the prosperity of their species, designed to advise their King/Queen and mete out punishment.
Alphas - Lords that run packs respective to marked territories.
Enforcers - These are wolves that are forced through rigorous training and psychological evaluations. They are almost manic in their support of their lords and stand between the lords and would-be challenges.
The rest of the packs find their rankings via dominance challenges. Fights, the style chosen by the challenged, are used to help one move up in a pack. The royal family and council members are immune to challenges until there is an overwhelming cry for justice. Similarly, the mates of pack lords are immune.
Lycanthropy virus is extremely infectious and roughly 12% of the population is infected. There are likely some stray wolves, but unless they're aided by a seasoned pack member, they're likely to expose themselves and get killed. They follow their wolf brethren by forming packs and keeping mates, but the human half has an obvious say in things.
Werewolves have three forms: human, werewolf, and wolf - roughly the size of a Shetland pony. Being infected imbues with with a warm, crackling energy that varies for each individual. They can control minor shifts, depending on their power, most often with teeth and nails. The energy is used for posturing with other werewolves, but it can stifle the other's energy or stir it up, if the individual is strong enough. They can use the energy as a weapon against other werewolves and occasionally other supernaturals.
They have enhanced senses, strength, speed, healing, and agility in all forms. Alphas are capable of a rough form of telepathy between their beasts. To help you visualize it, it'd be like a wolf under their skin, trapped in their human shell and pacing hungrily. When two werewolves in human form meet, their wolves interact on a higher level - nonetheless, if the two inner beasts fight, it leaves physical consequences such as exhaustion, stiffness, even some pain.
Shifting leaves a werewolf vulnerable and is somewhat painful, though if they resist a shift long enough they can shift almost instantaneously. Shifting is both at will and dependent upon the moon - the moon has a siren song they can't ignore, but lack of emotional control can make them shift, and they can change when necessary.
Silver is poison to a werewolf, they have volatile tempers that need to be closely reigned in, and they're usually inept with weapons but for the enforcers.
Wereleopards:
Werebears:
Fox-women:
Angels
-This category is truly split into two portions: true angels and angel-imitators.
Angel: a spiritual being sent down by a higher power (of any sort). Can be light, dark, or anything in between depending on its master.
Angel-imitators: Beings with a humanoid appearance and wings that are often mistaken for angels.
-Wingriders - humans with wings
-Sinshi - dark beings that appear as beautiful, winged ‘angels’ but are truly soul-sucking creatures.
Demons
-The majority of demons are the traditional evil, fire-and-brimstone sorts but many categories of demon are harmless and some are even good. Three subdivisions are in this category: evil, neutral, good.
Evil:
Neutral:
Good:
Faeries
-Includes most pure magical beings: fae, sprites, mermaids, pixies, etc.
Dark Faerie
A mockery of the original Fae – those humanoid beings born of pure energy, usually made to be ethereally beautiful and perfect, technologically advanced to boot. A powerful Fae king sought to create his own race but could not manifest the spark of life; the results were Dark Fae. Although beautiful, they went against nature entirely - so really, what should be lovely is all the more grotesque for that because it's just so utterly wrong. Considered abominations by their brighter brethren, these creatures were caged in a demesne of ice and stone, a place that enhanced unfulfilled desires and produced hungry, bestial creatures of their prisoners. Some were occasionally freed for the more darker of errands, but for the most part they were too formidable and disgusting.
However, they have been let free as hunters to seek the lost, given to the highest bidder.
Elves
-The elves are a race of humanoid beings with more grace, agility, strength, wisdom, and magic capability than humans. The elves have a long life span compared to humans but relatively equal to that of most supernatural species. They are rare in the modern world due to distaste for human cities.
Humans (not really supernatural)
Elementals
-Beings that take all their energy, power, culture, and life from an element of choice.
Fire-denizens:
Spectres
-Ghostly beings are considered as spectres by the supernatural world. Ghosts, true spectres, and phantoms especially.
Phantoms: the most powerful of the spectres. They have tele-kinetic abilities, can take on human form, and teleport. They are weak in their human form and are the only ghostly species capable of a true death.
Beasts
-Almost any creature with a permanent animalistic form are considered ‘beasts,’ especially if it keeps them from entering human society.
Gelgarians
The history behind this species dates long ago. When hybrids of a Reptillian race and a Elvin race concentrated itself into a species of its own. They were powerful and savage but also fair, and mystical. Each one weilded enormous capacity and were regarded through out their neighboring lands. This however made them a forseeable threat and through out the centuries they were oppressed by full blooded Elves. As they were forced to labor as slaves their numbers dwindled so low there are but a few hundred. They were then sold and their numbers spread throught out the world.
Dragons
Characters:
Blue Moon Queen Name: Helena Rose
Age: 327
Species: Natural Born Night-Walker Vampire
Clan: Blood Rose Clan. This clan controls most of New York City and is extremely powerful in influence.
Appearance: Helena is the typical vampiric stereotype with soot black hair, white skin, and a tall, lithe figure. Her eyes are light green normally but turn red with strong emotions or hunger. On the entire right side of her body are tattoos including writing, symbols, and drawings that have meaning to her. On the left side of her face is a blood red tear tattoo at the corner of her eye and a wilting rose on the back of her left hand.
Armor: Helena wears a leather duster over any clothing that she wears. This duster is massively heavy and has reinforced padding and a fluid metal that can be used as a shield in case of attack. It is enchanted so that is flows like a normal duster.
Weapons: Helena is a master with long samurai blades, carrying her own at all times. She is a martial artist and rarely touches any weapons except her sword.
Abilities: Helena has developed the abilities of a Master vampire over her years of life.
Powers: As an individual, Helena has grown and developed rare magical powers close to that of a Mage’s. She can telepathically communicate as long as the other being has some mental powers. The ability to channel energy has also developed, allowing her to add force to blows and weapon strikes or use it to block attacks.
Weaknesses: Helena can not stand sun exposure for any period of time longer than thirty seconds. She is weak against silver and has a strange weakness against gold. Her powers weaken her with continued use as well.
History: Helena is the priestess of the Blood Rose Clan and preaches the Creed, an ancient series of writings that speak of a great war that will bring about the final battle of the world and decide the future of man kind and all creatures.
Tcab96
Name: Zaapiel
Age: 978
Species: Angel
Clan: Guardian angels. Guardian angels might be the most believed in amongst all the supernatural races. They remain their charge's guardian throughout the human or supernatural's life until they die or become a ghost, Spectre, or Phantom.
All guardian angels are invisible to humans, their charges, and the supernatural alike, unable to socialize or come in physical contact with them. If a human were to walk straight into a guardian angel they would past right through them as if they were a ghost. They are, however, permitted to move objects or materialize for brief moments in order to move objects or block something that would put their charge's life in danger.
Guardian angels are able to telepathically read the minds of their charges and feel the feelings of their charge including, but not limited to pain, love, hate, and happiness.
Guardian angels are limited to how much they can help their charges, but they are capable of breaking these rules by cutting off their own wings and falling to earth, thus becoming a "fallen." They retain their powers, but they will never regrow their wings. Guardian angels are never known as guardian angels afterwards, but as "fallen" to other angels. Fallen are able to serve their charges for the rest of their lives or leave them and lead their own lives, however never being able to return to their home, their paradise. Fallen are looked down upon by angels and are outcasts. They are capable of being seen by humans and supernaturals alike and being touched or killed. Fallen retain their telepathic and empathic skills to read the minds and feel the emotions of their charges; however, will never be able to read the minds of other creatures for the rest of their lives.
Sex: Male
Appearance: Zaapiel stands at 6'1, weighs in at 195 pounds, has long, dark, wavy, brown hair that goes down his back to his shoulder blades. Zaapiel has broad shoulders with large, toned muscles. Zaapiel is sometimes noted by angels as handsome with his slightly tanned skin, thin eyebrows, slender face, pink lips, and sky blue eyes.
Personality: Zaapiel is known as a prankster to some angels (and even to a tiny few of his charges). Zaapiel is witty, sarcastic, nonchalant, and lax. (More TBR in RP)
Armor: Zaapiel has bright, heavy, gold plated armor and leggings that can deflect human bullets.
Weapons: Zaapiel carries a long, red rapier sword that he can materialize at will to his hands.
Pets: None.
Abilities: Telepathy and empathy. Much stronger and faster than the average human. Natural sword fighting abilities.
Powers: Capable of calling down lightning from the sky to imbue his sword with it. Also capable of a telekinetic barrier that blocks most projectile weapons, but it will only protect the front or back of his chosen target at a time. For instance, if he focuses his own telekinetic barrier to protect his front he is susceptible to attacks from the back.
Healing ability: Zaapiel can use his healing abilities on just about any creature and himself, although so far he has found them useless considering he can't use them on his charges and has never found the need to use them on himself since he never gets injured. But Zaapiel speculates when he becomes a Fallen he will be able to use them on himself and other people. Zaapiel can heal a wide variety of injuries; however, doing so, depending on the severity of the wound and how many times he must heal, will determine how much, if at all, weaker Zaapiel is for a day or possibly even longer.
Puncture - Depending on how far the penetrating wound goes and how many organs are injured will determine how much weaker healing them would make Zaapiel. A gun shot with the bullet still lodged in the body will be tougher and take longer as Zaapiel's healing magic will attempt to remove the bullet the safest way possible.
Lacerations - A small cut is nothing Zaapiel can't handle, he isn't impaired whatsoever by healing small cuts from knives; however, if Zaapiel must heal multiple cuts, depending on their size, will determine how impaired Zaapiel is. Stitches are unnecessary, when Zaapiel heals someone their skin is returned to their body, good as new.
Weakness: Weak against demonic and vampire magic. But if he were to become a fallen he would also become susceptible to angel magic. Zaapiel feels a strong devotion to his charges, if their life is in danger, he will not hesitate to defend them and give up his own life.
Bio: Zaapiel is a infamous/famous guardian angel and is spoken of frequently, but often thought badly of by angels. Zaapiel would describe watching over a human's life as either incredibly boring, incredibly tiresome, or fucking awesome. Most of Zaapiel's charges have seen long lives, except for one, Adolf Hitler. Zaapiel at the time had two charges to take care of, one being a very unique vampire and the other being Adolf Hitler. Zaapiel blocked a few bullets for Adolf when he fought in World War one. The death count was high, and the battlefield was ugly. But Zaapiel refused to allow him to die on the battlefield. Zaapiel took a few bullets for Adolf, his armor deflecting the majority, but eventually Adolf took a bullet the first time and sustained his first major injury. Due to being unable to directly physically interact with his charge, Adolf is gassed, counting as his second major injury in the war. Zaapiel felt he didn't fulfill his duty, so he is ashamed of himself for allowing Adolf to get hurt. But Zaapiel and Adolf made it through the war together.
Soon after, however, Adolf took a very, very dark turn. So dark, in fact, that Zaapiel still hears crap from other angels on why he would defend such a monster. But Zaapiel refused to allow Adolf to venture through his life alone, so he stayed by his side. Zaapiel was given a charge and he intended to see his life through. At one point even hindering an assassination attempt at the Wolf's Lair. But Adolf ended it himself with suicide, something Zaapiel is strictly forbidden to intervene in, lest he become one of the fallen. Zaapiel heard Adolf's last thought, but wasn't present for his final moments, as he was looking over his other charge. Zaapiel refuses to talk about Adolf's last thoughts, most charge's aren't very pleasant.

I've been having my little sister rewatch it with me. She's never seen it before. She probably thinks I'm nuts. We just watched Renji's fight with Byakuya where he says "Your fang will never reach me." Of course when afterward Renji hits him and Byakuya says "Congratulation. Very admirable. It definitely reached me that time" and walks away, I laugh and say "That's like cheering from him!" She looked at me with such an odd expression xD
Ok. Got that out of my system >.> I can be talkative sometimes.
It's okay! Get it all out! Do you watch any other anime?

Off and on. Bleach is the main one I've watched. Some things I watch seem like anime to me but I'm not sure they count. I have seen some Inyuyasha but not for a long time. Gundam as well.
Inuyasha is my favorite. It's the first anime I really got into.

Hey, quick question. Do we want to keep reposting stuff from the previous rp up until we get back to where we were? Or should I start deviating from it?
Deviate where you see fit. I'll improvise when necessary.
