So if a human learned fire & water for example as a vampire they can't learn demon?
Is there any difference between the noble vampire houses?
Well atm it's the forced eye colour and just a point of origin for some of the vampire characters. The houses are just different families but allies holding control over Gallowstein. I plan on making house leaders or have certain people become leaders, leaders will decide later in the story what happens possibly a war for control or uniting into one house by peace.
"It has been 5 years since the worst plague anyone had ever seen had struck the world. Most of humanity perished and now, in 1845, only around 500,000 of us remain. During this time, we have entered a new age of magic and in our darkest hours, it has only delved deeper into the shadows. Vampires and werewolves have crawled out from the shadows in which they have hidden in for centuries, eager to take over the vacant world. The only places humanity is known to exist is in one sole province. Everywhere else is desolate and uninhabitable. The vampires, with the help of a demon, have completely taken over the largest city Gallowstein. They have begun calling themselves nobles and using humans as cattle for their unquenchable thirst for our blood. Some humans have given themselves up. They join them in order to become one of them or in hopes of learning to use their dark magic. In the dense forests of Lapenzan, cults of witches gather and packs of werewolves run wild, spreading terror and destruction during the night. Then, there is those like us who live in the last remaining human city Mirstone, but I see hope for us. An angel has descended, gifting those who devote themselves to light and the survival of humanity strength and holy magic. We can now create holy water and enchant items with this gift to defend ourselves from these horrors. Some humans have become hunters and slayers in order to restore light and hope to humanity. At this point, all we can do now is fight our way through these dark times just as humanity has always done in the past."- found in the books of a dead priest

Species Traits
You can only use one type of species specific magic. (going to another side to learn their magic counts you as a rouge/traitor and your own species will seek to kill you.)
Vampires: -Cannot eat normal food and require human blood to survive. -They are visually more attractive and do not age. -Their body can funtion just as a humans but have enhanced senses, 3x speed of normal human, 2x strength of normal human. -To become a vampire you must be bitten and then killed or start as a vampire. -Can be killed by destroying the head or staked/stabbed in the heart and any type of magic. -Sun does not kill them but weakens their vampiric traits to that of a normal human. -Eye colours Ice blue(Vondrak), Yellow(Lorkan), Red(Domencio). -Rouge or solo vampires maintain the eye colour they had during their human life -Hate holy symbols and items. -cannot use holy magic. -Use mainly Demon magic and are the only ones who can teach it.
Werewolves: -Can eat normal food or humans/Vampires. -Werewolves continue to age but twice as slow as a human would. -Their appearence does not change while in human form. -In human form fuction as normal. -In wolf form cannot use weapons or magic, have enhanced senses, 2x speed of normal human, 3x strength of normal human. -Transform only at night during any moon phase. -Killed by silver weapons, bullets and any type of magic. -To become a werewolf one must perform a ritual or start as a werewolf. (ritual involves being bitten by a member of a cult/coven or player.) -Use mainly beast magic and are the only ones who can teach it. -Cannot use holy magic. -In wolf form can call a wild wolf to aid them if alone.
Humans: -Can use all types of magic -Humans in Mirstone(City), Lapenzan(town) have access to holy items like crosses and holy water to protect themselves for the most part against vampires. -Humans in Mirstone(City), Gallowstein(City) have more access to silver to use against werewolves. -Can be killed by any weapon and any type of magic. -Only pure humans are able to use holy magic. (a human who has never known demon or beast magic.)
So in theory then a human could use demon and beast magic. Could a vampire or werewolf use demon & beast magic as well?
If the werewolves are the not lame ones then how come they can't use weapons?
No thank you for pointing that out I mean for sure you could be a werewolf with demon magic or a vampire with beast magic. note: that going to another side to learn their magic counts you as a rouge/traitor and your own species will seek to kill you.
I never heard of them being able to use weapons before in all the things I watched or saw, they always were unable and also they have their claws and much higher strength when transformed. It's more of a balancing thing considering they wouldn't really need them.
