✡ Premise ✡
The town of Ember Grove is one of the oldest but always forgotten towns in the United States, founded in 1632. Located off the coast of South Carolina, the town is sometimes a tourist spot but the settled population always seems to be dwindling. It's a hot-spot for crime and murder seemingly but this never seems to become a new story for more than those who dwell in the town. Murders and disappearances are swept under the rug and no one outside of Ember Grove seems to know much at all of their constant mishaps. As far as appearances go, it's a rather nice looking area and most tourists wonder how anything bad could happen in town with such friendly faces.
Ember Grove has a big secret. Many of its residents live in ignorance of the reality of all the disappearances. It is one of the many towns that supernatural creatures gravitate to. Vampires hungry for blood come here looking to feast, werewolves bound through the woods and witches cast spells in the safety of their bedrooms. These creatures have lived for centuries without the public eye really believing they exist. The government, of course, knows of their existence and wants them to stay hidden to keep control of any panicking. Hunters have arisen for generations as well as an actual secret federal operation to exterminate these creatures in an effort to preserve humanity. Trouble looms for the residents as well as for these creatures themselves. Will they be able to coexist or will their secret finally come out? Life for sure is peculiar in Ember Grove...

✡ Playable Characters ✡
》The information is in question format for your convenience so I can directly add your questions in as well.
✡ What are they? ✡
Vampires are creatures that take on the appearance of beautiful, pale humans yet need blood in order to continue living the way humans do. Sometimes, vampires are often referred to as the night children or children of the night.
✡ What's the difference between humans and vampires? ✡
✡ Vampires are immortal and do not age like humans. If a human is converted to a vampire, the vampire will halt aging at the age they are bitten, forever frozen in time. If they are born vampires, they stop aging the moment they reach full adulthood in their early twenties.
✡ Though vampires can eat foods as humans do, blood is vitally necessary. Human blood is ideal, but animal blood or vampire blood can suffice for a short period of time, usually only for a few hours. The closer an animal is evolutional to a human the better though.
✡ Take the strongest and the fastest human in the world. Now double their strength and speed and you get essentially the speed and strength of a vampire.
✡ Their senses are much more superior to humans. Their sense of smell, sight, and hearing is extremely out of the norm.
✡ Vampires can go in the sun, it is just irritating and unhealthy for their skin, so they prefer not to. Killing is also preferable in the night time so many vampires are on nocturnal schedules.
✡If caught off guard, some older and stronger vampires can use persuasion to manipulate humans, especially if looked right in the eyes. It is essentially unreliable mind control.
✡ Vampires can also drink and get drunk. They will not have to excrete waste unless they eat or drink.
✡ Vampires' eyes become red when very hungry for blood. ✡ Vampires' have a healing factor when injured normally.

✡ Where can vampires be found? ✡
✡Many vampires live in large groups usually with hierarchies. There are many groups across the world. They often take up territories in towns that seem to be erased off the map for the rest of us. This occurs when a large number of vampires essentially raid a town, either kill or make a human farm of the inhabitants, and get rid of any threat within the town. They then own that town. Hunters usually then try to erase that area from the satellite map to try to lower the number of people going towards that area. Those that wander into these territories despite them not being on GPS or maps, end up fodder.
Still, some vampires elect to live in smaller groups of friends and family. Some even are loners.

What happens when a vampire doesn't get blood? **IMPORTANT**
✡If a vampire goes so long without blood, they will slowly lose their rationality, becoming more and more like a carnivorous animal. This occurs in stages.
✡Stage A: Normal
✡Stage B: 2 days without blood leads to throat burning, fatigue, losing the sense of logic, mood swings, as well as auditory and visual hallucinations.
✡Stage C: 4 days without blood leads to stage B symptoms but now the addition of the random urge to attack even fellow vampires. They are ravenous, delusional, and they are mostly irrational.
✡Stage D: 7 days without blood: they are no longer able to communicate, their fangs have lengthened, the vampire will attack anything in sight, fallen into a completely animalistic state. Posture is even worse and they no longer move like humans. Eyes are always red and always dilated. ✡Stage E: 9 days without blood: If a stage D vampire has not gotten blood despite their willingness to kill anyone and anything, then they will fall into a state where they are no longer responsive and their body shuts down. They could be revived with blood, but only into back into a stage D state. Once a vampire enters a stage D state, their brain has depleted too far and there is nothing that can be done to bring them back to a rational mindstate.

✡ Which vampires are strongest? ✡
Pure-blood vampires are strongest; they are descended or are themselves the original vampires without human blood tainting their line. Their strength, speed, and persuasion techniques are better than most vampires. Original vampires are the strongest vampires there is. This is because of the older a vampire, the stronger.
✡ How does a human get converted into a vampire? ✡
A human must die with vampire blood in their system.
✡ Does garlic have an effect on vampires? ✡
They have a food allergy when it comes to garlic. They get hives. However, it's not lethal.
✡ Do vampires need permission to enter your house? ✡
No, they enter most homes welcome or not. However, witches can protect their homes and cast spells such as these.
✡ What about the effect of holy water, crosses and other religious things? ✡
No effect.
✡ What are the weaknesses of vampires? ✡

✡ Do vampires have a reflection? ✡
Yes
✡ What happens when a human is converted to a vampire? ✡
There is a transition phase where the human has a day to feed. A vampire in the transition state will be overwhelmed and have issues with their sudden heightened sense of sound and smell. Migraines will be unbearable, they will try to binge on food to find it doesn't satisfy, and their throat will burn. They will pass as normal if they do not give into extraordinarly powerful urge to find blood. Once they bite a human, the transition will be complete.
✡ What is the population of vampires in the United States? ✡
There are currently around 600,000.
✡ Do temperature extremes bother vampires? ✡
No
✡ Do they turn into bats? ✡
No
✡ How do most vampires feel about humans? ✡
A good portion of vampires feel that humans are essentially potential meals. They see them as lesser beings they way we see pigs and cows. Vampires often laugh at hunters and are usually not even emotionally moved by them trying to defeat them. They underestimate humans greatly. Not all feel this way, of course. Especially, recently turned vampires have nicer feelings towards humans having recently been humans. Pure-blood vampires tend to be the most arrogant.
✡ Can vampires live off animals? ✡
Technically, but they would need blood every few hours and would be weaker than other vampires.
✡ Do vampires have heartbeats? ✡
No
✡ What are they? ✡
✡ How does someone become a hunter? ✡
✡ Are hunters always good people? ✡
✡ What are the differences between working in a smaller hunter group vs a larger hunter group? ✡
✡ What does "hunting" mean for a hunter? ✡
Humans who have dedicated their lives to hunting vampires, werewolves, and witches. They use militaristic, supernatural, and scientific means to combat their supernatural foes.
✡ How does someone become a hunter? ✡
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.
✡ 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.

✡ Are hunters always good people? ✡
- 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.
✡ Hunters are known to conduct unethical experiments on the supernatural and even those within their ranks.
Where can hunters be found?
✡ Hunters can either be integrated into normal society or dedicate all of their time to hunting the supernatural.

✡ What are the differences between working in a smaller hunter group vs a larger hunter group? ✡
✡ 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.
✡ Smaller groups have more experience in their area of operation due to keeping their hunting limited to one central area.
✡ Smaller groups usually have less funding and cannot sustain 24-hour operations.
✡ 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.
✡ Larger groups have hunters from with varying sets of skills and more manpower
✡ Larger groups are funded by larger entities to conduct their operations and can have the capability of sustaining 24-hour operations.
✡ 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.
✡ Larger groups are limited in knowledge to local hotspots, norms, traditions, and terrain in the area.

✡ What does "hunting" mean for a hunter? ✡
✡ 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.
✡ On special occasions, hunters may capture a supernatural for research purposes, interrogation, and/or experimentation.
✡ Hunters are usually divided into two categories:
Out-Group Hunter: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.
In-Group Hunter: 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.

Road 68
If you go down this road straight for about a half hour and make a turn down a barely noticeable road towards what appears to be a gated, private community, you'll find it's occupants a bit strange. Not many people venture here and those who do don't make it out. This small town was taken over by the vampire clan Vie Et Mort.
Road 69
This is a very long road through wooded areas and plains. After an hour's worth of travel, about 50 miles in, if you make turn down a dirt trail, you'll find the gated entrance to a very large facility where you will be told to turn back. This is where Operation Humanity can be found.
