[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ What are they? ✡[/b][/color] [color=gray][indent]Vampires are immortal creatures who resemble beautiful, pale-skinned humans, but they are sustained by the need to consume blood to survive, much like humans require food and water. Their ageless beauty and allure make them appear deceptively human, yet beneath their elegance lies a predatory nature. Often referred to as "Children of the Night," vampires have lived among humanity for centuries, their existence shrouded in myth and secrecy, thriving in the shadows and feeding in darkness. [/indent][/color] [b][color=red]✡ What's the difference between humans and vampires? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent][b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires are immortal and do not age as humans do. When a human is converted into a vampire, they stop aging at the moment they are bitten, remaining forever frozen in time. Vampires born into their lineage cease aging once they reach full adulthood, typically in their early twenties. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] While vampires can consume food like humans, blood is essential for their survival. Animal blood will not sustain vampires at all. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires possess physical strength and speed that is double that of the strongest human. Their physical prowess far exceeds anything achievable by ordinary humans, making them formidable in combat. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Their senses—smell, sight, and hearing—are vastly superior to those of humans, allowing them to perceive the world in extraordinary detail. They can track humans or animals by scent from miles away and can hear a heartbeat through walls or over long distances. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires are capable of healing from most injuries far faster than humans. Small wounds may close within seconds, while more severe injuries could take hours or days, depending on their age and power. They cannot, however, regenerate lost limbs or organs unless they consume an abundance of blood immediately after the injury. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Unlike humans, vampires do not need to breathe, though many continue the habit out of instinct. They can survive underwater or in low-oxygen environments for extended periods. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires are not affected by diseases or illnesses that plague humans, nor do they experience human ailments like fatigue or hunger (aside from blood thirst). [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] A vampire's presence can exert a subtle mental influence over weaker-willed humans. This power, often called 'compulsion,' allows vampires to persuade or control others, particularly when making direct eye contact. Strong-willed humans and other supernatural creatures can resist this influence. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires are cold to the touch due to their lack of internal body heat, which can be unsettling for humans who come into close physical contact with them. [b][color=black]✡[/color] [/b] While sunlight does not kill vampires, it is highly uncomfortable for them and can cause varying degrees of irritation. Prolonged exposure to the sun leads to a burning sensation on their skin, similar to a severe sunburn, which can worsen the longer they remain exposed. This irritation weakens them, dulling their senses and sickening them. However, older and pure-blood vampires tend to be more resistant to the sun’s effects, able to endure it for longer periods without severe discomfort. Younger or recently turned vampires, on the other hand, are far more vulnerable and may find even short exposure unbearable. Vampires can use protective measures such as heavy clothing or a parasol to mitigate these effects, allowing them to function during the day, though they still prefer the night where their abilities are fully heightened, and hunting is easier. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] Vampires can consume alcohol and experience intoxication, just like humans. However, their heightened metabolism processes it faster, meaning they may need to drink larger amounts to remain drunk for extended periods. Vampires will not need to excrete waste unless they consume solid food or drink. [b][color=black]✡[/color][/b] When vampires experience intense hunger for blood, their eyes turn red. This is a clear physical sign of their growing bloodlust and can be triggered by going too long without feeding or by the presence of fresh blood nearby. The deeper the hunger, the more intense the red hue becomes. [/indent][/color] [b][color=red]✡ What is the vampire hierarchy like? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][b][color=black]✡[/color][/b][color=gray]Vampire society is typically organized into clans or covens, each led by a powerful elder or pure-blood vampire. These groups are structured in a strict hierarchy based on age, lineage, and strength, which dictates power, influence, and decision-making authority. Here's a breakdown of how this hierarchy works: [color=ed145b]Elder Vampires (Leaders):[/color] At the top of the hierarchy are the elder vampires, usually the oldest and most powerful members of the group. These vampires are either original pure-bloods or have been alive for centuries, making them nearly untouchable in terms of strength, knowledge, and influence. Elders govern the clan or coven, set the rules, and manage territory. Their word is law, and their authority is rarely challenged. Elders often have extensive political connections, both within the vampire world and with other supernatural entities. [color=ed145b]Pure-Blood Families (Nobility):[/color] Pure-blood vampires, those born into vampire lineages, form the noble class. They are highly respected due to their untainted bloodlines and usually hold high-ranking positions beneath the elders. Pure-blood families often compete with each other for influence, and marriages between these families are seen as political alliances, much like royal marriages in human society. These vampires are powerful both physically and politically, and they often control large swaths of territory. [color=ed145b]Turned Vampires (Warriors & Servants):[/color] Vampires who were once human but turned are lower in status compared to pure-bloods, but they still hold significant power. Depending on their age and the strength of their sire, turned vampires can become enforcers, warriors, or generals in the vampire hierarchy. Their loyalty is often pledged to the pure-blood family or elder who turned them. In some clans, older turned vampires can rise to significant positions of influence, but they are always beneath pure-bloods in rank. [color=ed145b]Neonates (Newly Turned Vampires): [/color] Newly turned vampires, or "neonates," are at the bottom of the hierarchy. They are often treated with disdain by older vampires and have much to learn about vampire society, their new powers, and the rules governing their existence. Neonates are usually assigned menial tasks or serve as scouts and foot soldiers for their covens. Their primary job is to prove their loyalty and value to the clan through service and obedience. Over time, if they survive and grow in strength, they can rise in rank. [color=ed145b]Loners & Rogue Vampires:[/color] Outside the structured hierarchy of clans and covens are rogue or lone vampires who have chosen to live independently. While they enjoy greater freedom, they are also at greater risk, as they lack the protection of a larger group. Rogue vampires are often hunted by both humans and other vampires, as they can be seen as a threat to established territories or peace agreements between clans. Some rogue vampires form temporary alliances or small, less formal groups, but they are typically looked down upon by those in organized vampire society. [color=ed145b]Clan Hierarchy Conflicts:[/color] Conflicts within the hierarchy are common, as power struggles and territorial disputes arise between rival vampire clans or even within a single group. Elders often maintain their rule through a delicate balance of force, diplomacy, and manipulation. Vampires lower in the hierarchy may seek to rise through betrayal, assassination, or by forming alliances with other clans. These internal power dynamics create a constant tension within vampire society.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]What happens when a vampire doesn't get blood?[/color][/b] [color=ed145b][b]**IMPORTANT**[/b][/color] [indent][color=black]✡[/color][color=gray] If a vampire goes without blood for an extended period, they gradually lose their rationality and descend into a feral, uncontrollable state. This process happens in distinct stages:[/color] [color=black]✡[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Stage A:[/b][/color] [color=gray]Normal – The vampire functions normally with full access to their powers and abilities after a recent feeding.[/color] [color=black]✡[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Stage B:[/b][/color] [color=gray]2 days without blood – The vampire begins to experience severe throat burning, fatigue, and difficulty maintaining logical thought. Mood swings set in, along with auditory and visual hallucinations as their senses start to misfire from hunger.[/color] [color=black]✡[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Stage C:[/b][/color] [color=gray]4 days without blood – All symptoms from Stage B intensify. The vampire now exhibits violent tendencies and a random urge to attack anyone nearby, including fellow vampires. They become ravenous, delusional, and irrational, driven purely by hunger.[/color] [color=black]✡[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Stage D:[/b][/color] [color=gray]7 days without blood – The vampire is no longer able to communicate effectively. Their fangs elongate, and they become fully feral, attacking anything in sight. Their posture becomes hunched and unnatural, and they lose their human-like movement. The vampire's eyes remain red and permanently dilated, a sign of their complete loss of control.[/color] [color=black]✡[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Stage E:[/b][/color] [color=gray]9 days without blood – The vampire's body begins to shut down. In this state, they are completely unresponsive to their surroundings. Although blood can revive them physically, it will only restore them to Stage D. At this point, the brain is too far gone, and the vampire can never return to a rational or human-like mindset. This final stage leaves them trapped in a feral, irreversible state.[/color] [/indent] [b][color=red]✡ Which vampires are strongest? ✡ [/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]Pure-blood vampires are the strongest due to their direct lineage from the original vampires, without any human blood diluting their power. Their physical abilities—strength, speed, and agility—are unmatched, and they excel in persuasion or mental compulsion over weaker minds. Original vampires, those who were never human, are the most powerful of all due to their age and proximity to the source of vampirism. In vampire society, age directly correlates with power, so the older a vampire, the stronger they become, as their abilities grow more refined and potent over centuries.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ How does a human get converted into a vampire? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]For a human to turn into a vampire, they must die with vampire blood in their system. The process usually involves a vampire feeding them blood before fatally wounding them. After death, the transformation process begins, but the human must drink fresh blood within 24 hours to complete the change, or they will die once more. During this transition, the newly turned vampire experiences intense hunger and heightened senses.[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ Does garlic affect vampires? ✡ [/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]Garlic affects vampires similarly to an allergic reaction in humans. Contact with garlic may cause skin irritation, itching, and hives. However, it is not lethal, nor does it prevent a vampire from entering a space. Some vampires avoid garlic out of discomfort, but its effects are minor and can be healed quickly.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ Do vampires need permission to enter your house? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]Vampires can enter homes freely without needing permission.[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ What about the effect of holy water, crosses, and other religious items? ✡ [/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]Religious items, such as holy water, crosses, and symbols, have no inherent effect on vampires. Their power over vampires is purely symbolic and does not provide any protection. Vampires do not fear these objects and can handle them without issue.[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ Can vampires sustain themselves on animal blood? ✡ [/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]Animal blood is not compatible enough to sustain vampires.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ What are the weaknesses of vampires? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=black]✡[/color][color=gray]Burning – Fire is one of the few elements that can cause significant damage to a vampire. While their healing factor can help recover from minor burns, severe burns can incapacitate or kill them if the damage is extensive enough. [color=black]✡[/color] Decapitation – Removing a vampire’s head is a guaranteed way to kill them, as their healing factor cannot repair such a fatal injury. Once decapitated, there is no chance of revival. [color=black]✡[/color] Mutilation of vital organs – Severing or destroying key organs, such as the heart or brain, can prevent a vampire from healing properly. If the heart is damaged beyond repair, it can stop the vampire's regenerative abilities and lead to death. [color=black]✡[/color] Staking through the heart – Driving a wooden stake through a vampire’s heart will paralyze or kill them, depending on how long the stake remains lodged. This is the most commonly known method of vampire slaying. Removing the stake may allow them to recover if done quickly. [color=black]✡[/color] Chemical V – A specialized chemical created by Hunters that prevents a vampire’s body from healing. When injected or applied to wounds, it temporarily halts regeneration, leaving the vampire vulnerable to further attacks. [color=black]✡[/color] Werewolf bites – A werewolf bite is lethal to vampires. The venom from a werewolf’s bite weakens a vampire’s healing factor, causing the wound to fester. Without immediate intervention, the infection from the bite can kill even the strongest vampire.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ Do vampires have a reflection? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]Yes[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ What is the population of vampires in the United States? ✡[/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]There are currently around 600,000.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ Do temperature extremes bother vampires? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]No[/color][/indent] [color=red][b]✡ Do they turn into bats? ✡[/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]No[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ How do most vampires feel about humans? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]Many vampires view humans as little more than prey, much like how humans view livestock such as pigs or cattle. They consider themselves superior in both strength and intellect, and for most vampires, humans represent a convenient source of sustenance rather than equals. This arrogance leads them to vastly underestimate humans, often dismissing hunters and their efforts as laughable or futile. However, not all vampires share this disdain. Recently turned vampires, still holding on to remnants of their human emotions and experiences, may feel sympathy or even guilt toward humans. These younger vampires often struggle to reconcile their new predatory nature with their lingering humanity. On the other hand, pure-blood vampires—those born into vampirism—are typically the most arrogant, having never known the weaknesses of human life. They are more likely to view humans as disposable and insignificant, feeding their sense of superiority over the mortal world.[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ Do vampires have heartbeats? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]No[/color][/indent] [b][color=red]✡ What's the history of vampires? ✡[/color][/b] [indent][color=gray]Whispers and rumors about the origin of vampires have spread through the centuries, but no one knows the full truth. Some say vampires are the cursed descendants of Cain, the first murderer, condemned by God to wander the earth eternally after spilling his brother's blood. According to this legend, Cain was marked not only with immortality but with an insatiable hunger for blood, and those he created from his own curse became the first vampires. Over time, these vampires spread across the world, forming covens and clans, their lineage tied to that first, tragic sin. Others believe that vampires were once human sorcerers who delved too deep into dark, forbidden magic, accidentally cursing themselves to eternal life and bloodlust. Another legend claims they are remnants of an ancient, forgotten race—predators that existed before humanity even walked the earth. Despite the many stories, none can say for certain where vampires truly came from. The most ancient of them guard their secrets carefully. What is certain is that the vampires have existed for millennia, hidden in the shadows, with a past more dangerous and enigmatic than the myths that surround them.[/color][/indent] [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Werewolves] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/4Poc7NW.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/RVYxaRL.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/XG7hTDa.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/RVYxaRL.png[/img] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What are they? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent][b][color=black]✡[/color][/b]The children of the moon appear as human as much as vampires do. They are commonly known as werewolves, however, have the ability to change at will instead of only on full moons. They have the ability to shapeshift into humanoid, bi-pedal wolf creatures. The Lycan is well-known for being at its strongest at a full moon. Newly-changed lycanthropes may shapeshift by force on their first few full-moons and lack control.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What's the difference between humans and lycanthropes? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent][color=black]✡[/color] Lycanthropes eat food normally as humans, but in wolf form can choose to eat humans, vampires, or basically any creature with meat on their bones. [color=black]✡[/color] They continue to age, even if changed into werewolves, but twice as slow as a human would. [color=black]✡[/color] All bodily functions are as normal as humans. [color=black]✡[/color] In wolf form, they have enhanced senses, twice the speed of the fastest human, and three times the strength of the strongest human. Their strength in wolf form is indeed superior to that of vampires. Their enhanced senses are all better than that of a vampire too. However, vampires are more agile. [color=black]✡[/color] Enhanced speed, senses, and agility can be tapped into in human form, but not nearly as powerful as they are in wolf form. Their eyes will glow yellow if they tap into these abilities so it is a risk of exposure. [color=black]✡[/color] Lycanthropes will heal when injured in both human and wolf form. [color=black]✡[/color] In wolf form, wolves can howl to attract wild wolves or as a distress call to call in allies. Their howl is louder than that of a normal wolf.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ Where can lycanthropes be found? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]The lycan can be found in packs usually in more wooded areas. Lone wolves exist but most enjoy packs. Alpha wolves that lead their packs are stronger the more werewolves converted. People can be born werewolves of course, but it makes an alpha much stronger to convert humans into wolves.[[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ How is a human converted into a werewolf? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]There must be a deep bite from a werewolf into human flesh.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What if an alpha bites a human? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]If an alpha bites a human, the werewolf that results will have a special bond to that alpha. He or she will drawn to the alpha and the alpha will call to you and seek you out, expecting you to join their pack. The alpha will be stronger with the young werewolf in their presence and the young werewolf will be better off in the alpha's presence.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What's the difference between alpha and other wolves? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]The alpha is bigger, stronger and faster. His eyes glow red and he grows in power with each werewolf added to his pack.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ How does one become an alpha wolf? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]Alpha wolves are usually older, stronger wolves that lead packs and grow in strength over time to assume an alpha role. If one is able to defeat the current alpha, it will become the new alpha.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What are the weaknesses of werewolves? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent][color=black]✡[/color] Silver [color=black]✡[/color] Beheading [color=black]✡[/color] Chemical W (a chemical created by Hunters to slow healing of werewolves) [color=black]✡[/color] Scent Misdirection [color=black]✡[/color] High-pitched noises [/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What is the population of werewolves in the United States? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]There are around 300,000[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What do werewolves think of humans? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]Many consider themselves to be superior beings to humans. The same concept as with vampires that pure-blood werewolves will be more arrogant than turned ones.[/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ Are werewolves able to control themselves in their wolf form? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]Pure-blood werewolves have no issue with this. They remember everything they do in their wolf form and they have no problem controlling themselves. Humans who were bitten and turned into werewolves struggle with this. It takes them time to learn to control when they shift, have control of themselves during the shift and then to remember what happened in their wolf form after. They cause the most problems for humans since they often go into a full-on animalistic mode where they may attack, maul and even eat other beings without any recollection of what they did afterwards. [/indent][/color] [b][color=turquoise]✡ What do werewolves think of vampires? ✡[/color][/b] [color=gray][indent]Vampires and werewolves do not usually like each other at all.

Humans cannot cast spells, even if they were to correctly prepare and commit to the necessary actions to perform the spell. [color=black]✡[/color] Witches can be ageless and have extremely long lifespans. Where can witches be found? [color=black]✡[/color] Witches hide amongst the populace, while secretly being a part of an organized group known as a coven.

They use militaristic, supernatural, and scientific means to combat their supernatural foes.[/indent][/color] [b]✡ How does someone become a hunter? ✡[/b] [color=gray][indent]Humans become hunters in a variety of ways. Some hunters are taken in as orphans, others are ex-military looking for a new tour of duty, and some are just common people out for revenge against the supernatural. Most of the time, these individuals have lived harsh lives, having little to no family members or being a product of some sort of tragedy in their lives. [color=black]✡[/color] Some hunters are experimented on in order to gain an edge over the supernatural. Even successful experiments come with their own consequences and side effects.[/indent][/color] [b]✡ Are hunters always good people? ✡[/b] [color=gray][indent]- No. Hunters tend to use an "any means necessary" approach against the supernatural. Every hunter or group have their own code of ethics, and sometimes there are no limits to how far a hunter is willing to go to eliminate their enemies. [color=black]✡[/color] Hunters are known to conduct unethical experiments on the supernatural and even those within their ranks. [color=white][b]Where can hunters be found?[/b][/color] [color=black]✡[/color] Hunters can either be integrated into normal society or dedicate all of their time to hunting the supernatural.[/indent][/color] [b]✡ What are the differences between working in a smaller hunter group vs a larger hunter group? ✡[/b] [color=gray][indent][color=black]✡[/color] Smaller groups tend to be more integrated into society due to working normal everyday jobs and being known members of the society they operate in. [color=black]✡[/color] Smaller groups have more experience in their area of operation due to keeping their hunting limited to one central area. [color=black]✡[/color] Smaller groups usually have less funding and cannot sustain 24-hour operations. [color=black]✡[/color] Smaller groups have limited experience to only their area of operation and the supernatural within it. Newly introduced elements will be challenging for these hunters. [color=black]✡[/color] Larger groups have hunters from with varying sets of skills and more manpower [color=black]✡[/color] Larger groups are funded by larger entities to conduct their operations and can have the capability of sustaining 24-hour operations. [color=black]✡[/color] Larger groups do not have a strong foothold in the local area and are identified as outsiders amongst the local populace. Limited local support in the form of law enforcement or good samaratins. [color=black]✡[/color] Larger groups are limited in knowledge to local hotspots, norms, traditions, and terrain in the area.[/indent][/color] [b]✡ What does "hunting" mean for a hunter? ✡[/b] [color=gray][indent]✡ Hunters mostly aim to eliminate any and all supernatural that manage to appear in their crosshairs. Some hunters have a preferred target (Vampire Hunter, Werewolf Hunter, Witch Hunter), while others go for all things supernatural. [color=black]✡[/color] On special occasions, hunters may capture a supernatural for research purposes, interrogation, and/or experimentation. [color=black]✡[/color] Hunters are usually divided into two categories: [color=white][b]Out-Group Hunter:[/b][/color]These hunters go directly into battle using personalized weapons, with some enchanted by witches they've captured. These hunters have extensively trained their bodies and minds to directly combat the supernatural. [color=white][b]In-Group Hunter:[/b][/color] These hunters try to hack into supernatural computers, of supernatural groups, monitor traffic and security camera footage, help rewrite news stories, talk to news stations, monitor and help out group hunters through communication and surveillance. These are usually tech specialists, engineers, and journalists hired. A hunter can fill the role of both of these categories, but it may not be as effective and prove to be more stressful without help.[/indent][/color][/center] [/hider][/center]
