For years, people have known that supernatural beings live and work side by side with them, from vampires to fairies and nearly everything between and beyond. Most have donned a human guise, trying to fit in and avoid ridicule, prejudice, and being hunted down for the many sins the power-hungry have committed against the weaker race.
Many have found ways to adapt to a lifestyle conducive to living peacefully with humans: the most persistent of vampires have either found the restraint to refrain from killing humans or finding another source for sustenance. Werewolves have gained more control over their killer instincts, focusing their hunger instead on animals, and aiding in keeping the deer population down. A few of the fay have even developed a semi-immunity to iron, allowing them to at least walk through buildings clad in the element. And the list just goes on.


Most humans have been quick to judge these supernaturals, fearing them. Knowing that their neighbor could very well be one of them, most have grown paranoid. They speak of supernaturals in hushed whispers carefully shut behind locked doors. They have created their own curfew, avoiding the streets after dark when the most deadly of hunters prowl. Even, if only in quick, passing theories, spoken of driving the supernaturals away so humans would no longer have to live in the state, as some say, “between fear and freedom.”
But, of course, it’s just talk… for now. After all, telling human from supernatural is difficult for even the most experienced. Even those brave enough to become hunters—a long-since forbidden practice—who go in search of the few remaining supernaturals who live by the “old-world” thought that humans are meant to be a part of the food chain, can only see their prey when the supernatural desires it or lets their guards down.


While humans struggle with the decision of what to do, and try to develop some means of driving out—if not eradicating—the supernaturals, the old-world believers have begun to create their own hushed plans to break their own “between fear and freedom” lifestyle. Even some of the supernaturals who have lived, docile and content, among humans have grown tired of the abuse of their misjudged people. They have grown more and more desperate to have some sort of release, and their desire to find some way to show humans that their people aren't all bad has become a dire need.

Can the majority of supernaturals who wish and are happy to live among humans prove their innocence and work together with human and hunter alike to eliminate the threat the old-world supernaturals and misunderstanding humans pose,

I've noticed that your last few replies have been rather shorter than usual, and not really done too much toward pushing us forward, story-wise. Then I realized that we haven't exactly talked much plot to know where to push forward to. So, I thought I would share the ideas I have, so we could combine thoughts and both work toward the end!

What I have mulling around my head (if you can excuse the relative cliché-ness of it) is that an ancient, supernatural being has awoken from a deep slumber he was cursed with. He has been rallying the supernaturals who want freedom from living in fear of humans, or just outright hate humans. But, even though it's been maybe about a year since he's started collecting people for his cause, creating a sort of hierarchy in his group, he's still weak. Stronger than a majority of supernaturals, but still not as much so as he once was. Because of this, he has been careful to keep his return as secret as possible, and most just know him as a leader to be feared. Which is where Alex and Victoria come in with their connection. Since he was locked away, what I'm thinking is that a good chunk of his power was stolen and given to two others, a human and a supernatural. However, that power could only fully be realized when they were together, creating a link between a human and a supernatural. How it manifests itself in the individual always varies from one person to the next. Through the ages, as the supernatural and human imbued with his powers die, they jump to the next set of people. Over the years, it's existence has practically been forgotten, but the powers continue to survive, sometimes being realized, others not, depending on if the two can be drawn together in time.

Anyway, if the ancient supernatural can get the linked human and supernatural on his side, then he can regain his full power. But if he doesn't, and both are against the eradication of humans and their supporters, then they could very well be the only ones who could stop him, and even potentially unite humans and supernaturals. He's after Victoria, because he found out who the human is, but has yet to find the supernatural counterpart, or if they've already been drawn together or not.

What do you think? Anything to add? Tweak?
