The World

Bistritz
A small Romanian town three kilometers (two miles; five minutes of driving) away from castle Dracula.
Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley
Two streets in London. The main shopping streets for witches and wizards. As opposed to the Harry Potter stories, they are visible for and can be entered by anyone.
The vampire hospital
A hospital for vampires that is about an hour of driving away from Castle Dracula.
The observatory
A modern observatory with a large telescope. It is 45 minutes of driving away from Castle Dracula.

The head monastery in Japan
A big Zen cloister for monks of the school of Soto Zen Buddhism in Japan, near the Okinawa Islands.
Hell
It's hell, but it's not like in old stories. There is no fire or excessive torture; more to be disclosed as the RP goes on.
Heaven
It's... Heaven. A place full of gluttony and without pain or illnesses.
Any places can be added. These are just the main ones.
The Creatures
Humans
Humans are like real humans.
Vampires
Vampires look like humans to the most part; except for their fangs, which they can hide, and their red eyes. They can turn into any animal, they are about ten times as strong as humans, they don't age, they have strong senses, they can control the weather, animals and other humans.
Pregnancy in vampires is like pregnancy in humans, and their children are human-born.
A vampire can be killed through excessive bloodloss or not drinking enough blood.
They can go into sunlight and don't generally have aversions towards garlic or anything holy.
You can become a vampire either by drinking vampire blood or by being bitten by one and, in both cases, dying afterwards.
Ghosts
Ghosts are basically dead people. They can live either on Earth or in hell. However, they are not immortal: When their time is up, they just vanish; but they live for much longer than humans.
They can become visible, but that requires a lot of practice.
Ghosts can float, walk through walls, phase through things, teleport, take over other people's bodies, and make things float and move without touching them.
Demons
Demons live in hell. Unlike the demons in old legends, they normally - with exceptions to the rule - don't harm humans.
Just like ghosts, demons are mortal. Their average life spans are around the same as the ones of humans, and they can be killed like humans; just that killing them is harder, since they are good fighters.
Demons have wings, claws, a tail and muscles.
The devil
The devil is the head demon. A devil can be of any gender, but there can be only one devil at a time.
The devil is mortal, and, depending on whether they are a mix, they either have the life span of vampires or humans.
The devil has got horns, bat wings, claws, muscles, sharp teeth, red eyes, black fur, cat-like ears, an ape-like tail and one leg of a goat.
They - just like any other demon hybrids - can wander between Earth and hell, and in addition to that, they can pay visits to Heaven.
The devil usually is a human/devil or human/vampire hybrid.
Gods and demigods
They are the inhabitants of Heaven. They look like humans, and like demons, they are mortal with the average life expectancy of humans.
Neither gods nor demigods are very powerful. They don't have much impact on life in the other realms.
There can be god hybrids and demigod hybrids.
Witches/wizards
Humans, vampires, demons, ghosts,... - all can be witches or wizards. (The gender-neutral term is 'witch'; just as real life non-binary Wiccan people use it.)
There's only two things witches and wizards can't do: They can't bring the dead back to life, and they can't heal birth defects.
For three kinds of magic, you need something that is called the 'gene': Magic that affects more than one hundred people at a time, drain of energy, and direct killing spells; other witches and wizards will have to use indirect killing spells, such as making a boulder fall onto someone.
The gene is very rare. It is said that only one or two people are born with it each century.
Witches and wizards who abuse their powers to torture people often, but not always, are turned into talking and extremely long-living animals.
Any kind of creature that isn't in the list can be added.
