Setting information

This is a world based off of Old and New World of Darkness, but with more freedom to create your own supernatural race and none of the associated factions. This is so new players can get into it. We will move through different periods of time via Time Skips, going from Medieval to possibly Western to Modern.

This is a high casual RP, and all Supernatural Races are allowed except for Gods and Angels (you can be an offshoot of an Angel though, Angels and God in this world are too powerful). You are free to be as creative as you want to be when creating a Supernatural race, powers, faction, plot line, bloodline, OC etc.

Preface

Welcome to the Supernatural World, a world of intrigue, of feuding freaks and clans. The year is 1095, and the crusades have begun. Constantinople is a crucial point for the crusaders, as it is a major city in which to enter the Holy Lands. However, by night, the city is home to the evils that prey on mortals, evils that battle with each other and manipulate humans. Vampires hunt in the city and Werecreatures hunt in the wilderness, Mages sit in their towers gathering power on astral winds, Demons and Fairy Changelings (Fairies in human form) hide within society, Wraiths haunt derelict buildings and the bodies of those unfortunate to be possessed by them. Many more supernatural horrors stalk the night such as the Gargoyles, Ghost Vampires of Asia and beast/animal spirits possessing man.

Vampire Clans, Bloodlines and Lore


Vampires were created when Caine struck down his brother Abel and God cursed him with Vampirism. Caine was so powerful, his power was superior to Angels and every other supernatural. Caine's descendants, the Antediluvian Vampires started clans with powers they specialized in that they were granted from Caine. Antediluvians are feared to return one day and cause Gehenna, the Vampire Apocalypse. There are also bloodlines, special deviations of clans (that players can create)

Vampires can get more powers by drinking the blood of other Vampires, but run the risk of forming blood bonds which enslave them to the other vampire. If they drink all of a vampires blood, they gain all their powers and take on a bit of their personality (this act is called Diablerie). Vampires are immortal, require blood to live and are weakened by the sun. All vampires have increased Strength, Speed and Healing Factors. Other beings than Vampires can also become immortal and gain enhanced strength and speed from drinking Vampire Blood.



Werecreature Tribes and Lore


Werecreatures are usually warriors who are locked in a two-front war against both the spiritual desolation of urban civilization and supernatural forces of corruption that seek to bring about the Apocalypse. They were created by Gaia, the Earth Mother to protect Nature from Supernatural forces. All Werecreatures have Gifts which are powers brought on by making pacts with Gaia which can range from anything to control of Elemental Forces to Enhanced Senses. They can also switch between Animal, Werecreature, Man-Animal and Human form. They have incredible healing factors, even better than a Vampires.





Mage Factions and Lore


Everyone has the capacity, at some level, to shape reality. This capacity, personified as a mysterious alter-ego called the Avatar, is dormant in most people, who are known as sleepers, whereas Magi (and/or their Avatars) are said to be Awakened. Because they're awakened, Magi can consciously effect changes to reality via willpower, beliefs, and specific magical techniques.

Mages are extremely powerful and have massive destructive capabilities, however their magic is unable to be seen by nonbelievers of magic and the supernatural. Using magic next to a person who does not believe in these things can cause damage to the mage in question, since all beings are capable of shaping reality. Their powers are known as Spheres.



Demon Houses and Lore


Demons are the fallen angels loyal to Lucifer in their war against God and his Angels, who have escaped from Hell and now live in on Earth. They take the form of Humans, Animals or Demonic forms, although demonic forms have susceptibility to being noticed by God and potentially sent back to Hell. Their powers are known as Lores and they can switch between a normal form and an incredibly powerful Demon Form. They also have healing factors better than a Vampires but worse than a Werecreatures.



Changeling Races and Lore


Changeling Children are fairy (Fae) children that were swapped for a regular human child. This child has access to something called Glamour that masks their special appearances to humanity, although it can be seen through with something like a Vampire's auspex or a Fae can give a human the ability to see through their glamour temporarily.

The Changelings have a court with representatives from each Changeling race that controls it. The court punishes wrongdoers and helps to ensure all Changeling have a Glamour. Some Changelings exhibit inhuman beauty, while others exhibit atavism; some are defined by a particular season, while others are defined by their approach to social interaction.



Wraith Lore and Powers


Wraiths are spirits who have recently died and are bound to earth by an object, place or person. They have the option of seeking their afterlife, whether it be Heaven or Hell.



Factions


Factions are created by the players and I. If you wish to create a Faction then post it in the OOC or in your character description and I'll add it.

@Grec Hello ! I guess you are still accepting people. I've got a few questions before I start thinking about a character.

1. Just to be sure. We are allowed to make a supernatural race of any kind (that is not an Angel/God race) that isn't specified in the races you've written by now? I'm thinking about a race of living shadows (they are not wraiths) that can take human form.

2. You said there will be time skips, that means that if a player would make a human character...they would need to make a new character for the time skip? Because I guess time skips will not mean 1-5 years but more like 30-whatever years.

3. We can create faction for other players to join in? I mean, I am thinking of making a faction in which my character will not be part of but other people could join it. You know, just to...flesh out the world so to say.

@Timemaster

1. Yes, any Supernatural race not specified is allowed. You can even be an alien.
2. If you're human you don't necessarily have to make a new character for a timeskip, you can drink Vampire blood to become immortal. It's not the same as actually becoming a vampire, you need to be embraced by one to become a Vamp.
3. Yes, you can create factions just to flesh out the world but be prepared to make some NPCs for it if no one's going to join.

@Chronos Hybrid Also if you wanna use the Rock as the model for your character that's cool but perhaps you could use a picture more appropriate for the Medieval setting, here's a picture of the rock from the Scorpion King.

@Timemaster Do you mind if I combine some of your lore with mine and make the Umbra Dimension the source of the powers of Darkling Changelings and Lasombra Vampires shadow powers?

@GrecIn the original version (made by me in another RP) the Umbra were dealers of dark powers to most evil of persons. (Example : you need the power to kill your rival, it shall be given to you in exchange for let's say...100 children or things of similar value) While also giving dark powers to people in order to kill those that would dare to double cross them.

So in other words. Go ahead but remember, only the Harbinger (William or his predecessors) is known by other persons. So if somebody would ask how a...Lasombra Vampire got their shadow powers, the answer would be something like "A strange being that was shrouded in darkness gave them the powers".

Is that ok ?

@Timemaster

I was thinking of more of them just channeling their powers from the Umbra realm and having the power inlaid within them. Like the Abyss in World of Darkness. But the more they use the dark powers, the more they would have a connection to the beings in the Abyss, or Umbra in this case, the more chance they might succumb to the commands of those beings.

So there's a lot of fluff and mechanics that I'm going to have to stuff into this CS for any of the Leviathan stuff to make sense, just as a heads up.

@Pathfinder That's ok, I thought Species Lore and Abilities would be enough to flesh out your own Supernatural on the CS but if you need to make extra tabs to it that's ok. It may help others in the future.

I have another question, might you be interested in joining Hector's pirate crew, Devils of the Deep?

Unfortunately that can't work, or at least for very long. The Wake forces humans to fear and worship a Leviathan in equal measures, and while it isn't as strong with other supernatural beings as humans it'll still mess with them on a level that cannot be ignored. I was planning on making a separate pirate crew that are occasional allies of the Devils, I'll explain in more detail in the CS.

Lots of stuff I gotta put down for the spawn of ancient, primordial horrors.

@Pathfinder That's cool. Is it going to be an actually Cthulu-esque Horror or a Horror in Human Form?

A little of both, really. Leviathan's can get all body horrory but that's a specific skill you gotta invest points into. All of them can turn into big monsters though, it's just a matter of power and how much of yourself you're willing to let go for it.
