@Kuroneko I'm down, we could definitely use the reckless type of vampire. I'll be running a Kelpie myself and he's going to be a pain in the ass so you have my blessing.
@McHaggis They're naturally a lot more powerful than their counterpart, the usual run down of "strength, speed, heightened senses" but some can get more personalized abilities, like the ability to hear thoughts, or see auras. Generally typical psychic type things. It just all depends on their family line.
@Eschatologist She's very much accepted and I have to compliment your describing skills, I can really feel her character and that's so lovely. I'll make an OOC if this derives any more interest, here's hoping. Until then! Welcome aboard!
@Eschatologist I've never been more down for a character than I am right now. I'd love to have this music or economics teacher. I think I'm kind of in love. You have my vote of encouragement.
In a small town called Valor, humans have made harmony with the creatures that once gave them nightmares. These creatures, though many of them have accepted to live alongside the humans that once feared and hated them, many have not but in the wake of this lone town's truce, a school was built for the students to live in harmony. A building devoid of iron, wood or silver, it was made of brick and stands tall at the edge of this small town. A highschool, tall and proud with a great staff of immortals and humans alike, the youth of this town is expected to attend and to get along but there are rumors of hunters, humans and half-breeds who have sworn their lives to destroying the creatures that their ancestors once feared.
Will they all be able to live in harmony or will this end in a bloodbath and a feud that cannot be broken?
Welcome to Valor High.
Hi, I'm Mick. A long time ago on a Roleplayerguild long ago, I ran a similarly titled roleplay under an account called darknesslost but that was in free roleplay and it was a billion years ago. I had big plans for it and never got to do any of them. I'll be playing the staff unless you'd like to play a teacher or something, just include it somewhere in the CS and I'll be glad to have you. And I'll discuss the hidden subplot w you and blah blah blah. Anyway, if you actually read this, add a "Hey Mick" to your reply and I'll be happy to see it. I don't mind if you did either way but it's nice to know ppl listen.
Generally normal, though normal isn't bad.
One who's been gifted with an ability that would be considered paranormal and/or strange. Sighted humans are born with the ability to see Fae and it follows a line throughout their family, generally only females or only males.
Born with an ability effected by old immortal genetics, usually Fae. Can be as simple as the ability to make things float or as complex as the ability to draw the energy from the bodies of others.
Humans that were born to be reincarnated, going through thousands of reincarnations for years on end, generally connected to something, a soulmate or an item. Awakened Old Souls will remember their past perfectly but the others will not.
Could fit in any of these categories but usually family trained, generally under some sort of ridiculous crest or saying. Sometimes self-trained and driven by grudges or spite.
Traditionally werewolves who are born of packs, one's who are forcibly effected by the change each time the month of their birth has it's first full moon. They must spend the rest of that month in their wolf form and nothing else but are otherwise free to shift back and forth throughout the year.
Must be bitten by a traditional werewolf or another changed werewolf, they are forever bound by the full moon and must spend that night in their form, not free to shift whenever it strikes them. If changed by a traditional werewolf, they are bound to whatever pack the traditional werewolf came from though not expected to join their pack and generally considered an interloper if they do. Badly treated by most except their changer unless that pack is generous.
A shifter is born with the ability to shift into all forms and that also includes a wolf. They're generally sired from a family in which at least one of their ancestors was a shifter before them. They can shift at their own ease but sometimes fear can cause the shifting to happen on it's own.
Very powerful in the underworld, born of rich families and prone to rolling in luxury. Very proud of their bloodline by nature and has the ability to stop their growth on will or to let it continue. Beating hearts, growth cycle is just like their human counterparts. Less feeding is required, can survive off something as simple as very rare meat every night. Cannot survive in sunlight without proper protection ( I. E. Long sleeves, jeans, boots, headwear, sunglasses ) sun rays on exposed skin often resulting in bubbling burns.
Changed by other changed vampires or by born vampires. They're considered of lesser value and have no beating heart, eternally trapped at whatever age they were changed at. Their cravings are much stronger than a born vampire but can be sated with frequent feeding. Sensitive to sunlight but only in the form of getting sunburns easily and frequently.
Bloodsick: Vampires who were changed but were changed wrong, often by lack of venom in their system and they find themselves compelled to feed much more, can't go more than an hour without feeding and will become ill without blood in their system.
Another possible side effect of an ill change and can cause the vampire to have part of their humanity still attached. Generally human but with fangs and the slightest drive to feed but not the need. Will die early deaths ( around the age of twenty-thirty ) and finds sunlight painful and draining.
Some examples bc I couldn't possibly give you them all. In case you don't have any ideas, you can glance at these or find your own. If it has wings or it's a complete asshole, I'll probably believe it's Fae.
Water Nymphs: Small sharp-toothed creatures who are fond of living in puddles and small ponds but can be found in lakes and rivers.
Merfolk: Creatures with beautiful tails and beautiful features, often sirens and found in deeper water. Webbed fingers and gills, also blessed with a pair of lungs and the ability to split their tail to form legs.
Kelpies: Large horse-like creatures with lungs and gills, very black in color and known to lurk in heavily crowded areas. Often taking sexual pleasure in watching humans drown.
Nixies: Terrifying creatures that live in deep water, webbed fingers and sharp claws and teeth. Blind in sight, often living in caves like eels and very playful.
Winter Fae: Controllers of the cold, frozen to the touch and seen with very pale skin and often blue lips, prone to killing all flowers that they come in contact with.
Summer Fae: Beautiful and ethereal, often seen with shimmering hair that reflects the light like columns of flame. Very hot to the touch, ability to make things grow in their passing.
Lion Fae: Small tumbling faeries with manes of gold and streaming tails. A type of Summer Fae, often used as servants.
Wood Dryads: Fae generally made of wood and twigs, seen with patches of moss and wood attached to them. Quite literally the spirits of the trees.
Pixie: Green skinned, can be as dark as emerald or as light as grass and very small in size, generally around four-feet and known for being mischievous and sharp-witted.
Wisps: As in "Will O'The". Formless entities that take the form of whatever they can to lure humans into danger. Often found with kelpies, generally enjoys helping them torment the innocent.
Sirens: Sometimes connected to Merfolk but sometimes a being all their own, beautiful singers with haunting voices and very sharp teeth and claws.
The highest known demons, generally connected to the first demons who followed Satan into hell. Very proud of their heritage, often harboring white eyes, blue eyes or golden eyes. Large wings of some kind and high amounts of concentrated power.
Born of the lesser class and not half as powerful as their counter parts. Seen with red eyes, electric green eyes or orange eyes.
Note:Sometimes these demons aren't even humanoid, some trapped within the forms of insect-like beasts or disgusting creatures. Those that are, are very lucky.
Demon blood and human blood makes warlocks, humanoid creatures that are often left with the mark of their demon parent. ( Gold eyes, claw like fingers, fangs, a twisted dog snout, ect ect ect. )
Humans who have been deformed by summoning demons for magical rituals and are left with some trace of the beast.
Hybrids can be a mix of any two creatures, so long as it is not Fae. Fae tends to taker the higher of the two genetics and only one would win out but any other hybrid is completely fine. Hybrids generally have some sort of defect and that can be just about anything, if they're a were-vamp then it might be lack of immortality or higher sensitivity to the sun. Things like that. Also, they're generally disliked but can be extremely powerful in some situations.

@Inertia They can hang together and chat it up about their parental figures. That'll be the discovery of true friendship right there. "Hey, so how's home life?" "Normal." "Sameeee."
