Welcome to Order from Chaos
This is a mystery fantasy RP based around London in present time. This RP will involve anything you as a player can think of. There are a number of mythical creatures that exist in this world so feel free to add them into your background or use them in RP. You want to make a Race or magic? Sure go ahead, I'll give it a once over and most likely you'll be able to use it. In this RP I want people to be comfortable playing what they wish. Within reason of course.
Races
Not a race here that you want? Than simply tell me either through the OOC or through PM.
Vampires are well known for being creatures of the night and here in London they are no different. They have a great fear of religious paraphernalia (Crosses Statue of Buddha etc), vampires also never age. Vampire cannot stand out in the sun for too long as they will become sunburnt then after about 4 hours of exposure to sunlight burst into flames and than be nothing but a pile of ash. However with these weakness comes tremendous strength, agility and reflexes. As well as being able to heal from almost any wounds (Decapitation and a stake in the heart not being two of them). Vampire must drink blood regularly at least once a day., otherwise they will become weak and if they don't feed for at least 3 days they will be overcome by the hunger; causing them to become mindless killing machines. A vampire can survive without blood for 4 days. Vampire are normally turned when a vampire mixes their own blood with blood from a living person, as a rule of thumb werewolves cannot become vampire and vampires cannot becoming werewolves. In fact should a vampire drink blood from a werewolf they will die as werewolf blood is poisonous to vampires. Vampire can tell if a human is a werewolf. Vampires can perform basic magic nothing amazing.
Seemingly normally human beings whom sometime in their life have survived a werewolf attack and are afflicted with lycanthropy. This disease causes the aflicted to turn into a monstrous wolfen creature during a full moon, loosing all sense of their former self as well as their humanity. A werewolf cannot be reasoned with when they have turned and will hunt down any creature that they can smell. Once the night is over the wolf turns back into a person remembering their night as nothing but a nightmare. As a rule of thumb werewolf's cannot become vampires and vampires cannot become a werewolf. Werewolves have in their human forms heightened senses and can tell easily smell if someone is a vampire. Werewolves are weak to silver in both human and beast form and it will burn their flesh. Werewolves can control their wolven form by taking essence of wolfsbane before they turn. This allows them to be in full control of their wolven self for the night. Werewolves can perform basic magic nothing amazing.
Sometimes necromancers can go too far or maybe it’s just a stubborn mage who refuses to let death claim him. The undead are mages that have been resurrected from the dead. They do not feel pain or fatigue and as a result can push their bodies past human boundaries, as well as heal incredibly fast as long as they have some magic in them. Some people call them zombies however an undead persons can not turn other people undead. When it comes to magic they have none. Instead they use their magical energy to keep themselves alive. Well not alive but you get the idea.
Sorcerers are humans who have been mutated by magic and as such have amazing magical abilities. Sorcerers are extremely rare and most of them die due to the amount of energy that is contained within their body. Sorcerers are not considered human anymore as they are more magic then they are human able to easily bend the rules of the world at the whim. (Cannot be used)
Creature of evil, death destruction. To put it shortly they aren't nice. Generally Demons are evil creatures brought here from another world wanting to only cause havoc destruction or maybe just mischief. They feed on magic and as such are extremely adept magic users. Weaker demons freely enter the world only to cause nuisance and mischief the bigger stronger demons however must be summoned in by sorcerers or users of magic as they must have a large gateway in order to enter this world from theirs as well a host to anchor them to this world. You can make deals with demons. For a price,
Humans well are humans. They can use magic if they are taught it.
Magic
Magic is an important aspect here in London and helps as much as it hinders. Magic is manifested when one person calls on otherworldly energies which then allows them to create things like fireballs or entrance a person. Normally a human cannot access this energies unless they are taught how to but Sorcerers see this energy around them. Most areas are more magical saturated than others and most Demon summoning are done in areas where the levels of magical energy are very high. This energy though does come at a price. In exchange for drawing power you must sacrifice your stamina. For example human A casts a small fire ball and human B casts a fire ball the size of large truck. Human A will be able to easily cast more and run around, while human B will be panting from exhaustion possibly be able to cast more. When it comes to magic if depends from person to person as to their magical prowess. Any person who learns the ways of magic can expect an increase in their life span upwards to 500 years.
In order to limit people in the magic they can use please look at type of magicians below I am open to suggestions when it come to magic so please suggest via OOC or PM.

Types of magicians
Can use the four elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
Death magic that warps shadows into shapes, either to use as weapons or as makeshift armour. Necromancy is stronger the closer the person is to death (graveyards morgues etc)
A mage who has specialised in a certain form of magic but normally only one. for example an adept who can shoot lasers from their eyes or an adept who can persuade people. The rule of adepts is simple one magical ability. Doesn't mean it can't have many uses.
Magician who uses nature, controlling plants to grow and influencing their movement. They also can communicate and control (to a degree) animals. The can also change their shape into an animal of their choosing gaining the benefits of that animal, as well as the drawbacks.
Magicians who use symbol magic. These symbols can be carved into flesh with tattoos and must be drawn with the users blood or with enchanted ink. Symbol magic can be dangerous as every symbol must be perfect. Sigilist can apply symbols anywhere they wish but it is the act of touching or disturbing them that activates them. Symbols take a large amounts of magic to create but only small amounts to activate. Think of them like batteries with an on off switch. A werewolf or a Vampire can easily use Sigilist magic however it takes more time for them to create the symbols.
Magicians who can see the future.
The Order
In the early 1900 a group of mages gathered and created the first governing body called The Order. The Order keep order within the magical community and are effectively the magic police. While matters on separate races are left to their corresponding races The Orders job is to make sure that mankind are not aware of anything magical as well as protecting humans from any magical crimes. The order also contains areas where people can be taught magic, there is a large library with many books for the aspiring mage or those that have questions on aspect of magic or races.There are three leaders of The Order they are:
Phillip Rifna (Elemental) deals with human relations, Philip talks with important humans like the Primeminister.
Jennifer Farie (Clairvoyant) Deals with magical problems, Jennifer sorts out any crimes commits by magical creatures or magicians as well as magical experiments gone wrong
Tolfey Quiton (Sigilist) Deals with Security and makes sure that The Order, the werewolf cells and the bar are protected and stops humans entering the abandoned bar unless accompanied.

The Abandoned Bar
This is the place that most of you will visit. It is where the Order reside and where you can get a nice pint and meet other people like you. The bar offers places for Vampires to sleep during the day and a place for werewolves to safely transform. Think of the bar as a front for all the crazy stuff that happens underneath it, as most of the services offered by the bar are deep underground Including the orders hq as well.
The Story
The order is currently recruiting new blood into its ranks and is looking for people to help keep the peace and figure out crimes of the more magical nature. You can choose whether or not you wish to become involved with the order it's up to you. However in the darkness something looms a man by the name of Joshua has risen a bastard child born as a sorcerer his natural grasp for magic has given him a god like look on life. Deciding that mankind were weak and magic was stronger he announced to the Order that he would wipe out all of humanity so that they could take over and be the top dogs that they should be. Obviously the order would never want such genocide to go ahead as the order was created to protect humans, not allow them to be slaughtered.They managed to capture him and he has been held deep within the bowels of the orders most secure holding vault in a coma like state. He’s been locked their for 10 years.
