"Let the dances begin! Follow the magic!" A voice bellowed through the ballroom.

Risa looked down at the paper she had just recently been handed as it started to glow and Risa felt it tug her body forward. Before it could begin to contort into shape, she saw something fluttering about in the corner of her eye. Glancing up she saw a little paper butterfly and she smiled, her eyes lowering to find a faun in front of her. He greeted her but did not exchange eye contact. It eventually landed on her hair.

"I think that means we will share a dance."

The charming curly-haired boy was young, perhaps even a few years younger than Risa, and well-dressed in silk and lovely green and peach colors. He had a sweet and shy demeanor. Risa considered him to probably be unlikely to be involved in the mess; it would be extremely unfortunate if so. The plan had been to find some allies, but if this was her dance partner, she was extremely hesitant to drag an innocent teen faun into the battle.

She glanced backward over her shoulder. Elsea and Kyran had indeed entered after. Elsea looked absolutely stunning and Kyran looked very handsome. She had not seen him dressed so nicely before and it made her heart race. They were being approached by partners to dance with as well so she turned back to Ilan, still blushing a little from her glance towards Kyran. She'd dance with this boy in the mean time but she felt it was only right to give him fair warning of the situation. "Hello there sweet faun." She gently greeted him with a polite curtsy, "My name is Risa. You may have heard of my name earlier today. I would be honored to have a dance with you, but if you are reluctant to associate with the infamy of my name, I will not be hurt if you choose to decline."

There was no grand entrance, nor announcement as Risa made her way into the room with natural poise and elegance. Once eyes were set on her, they lingered. The sparkles and jewels on her gown and in her headpiece shimmered under the chandelier lights. The dress, similar to the clothes of the man who had just finished up announcing from the balcony as she entered, was clearly more expensive than the norm and extremely intricate in design and the sleeves were translucent and off the shoulder, also shimmering a bit in the light. Even her mask seemed to have expensive jewels. In other words, it was old money. This type of clothing was exclusively worn by the royals of the past.

"Queen Camellia?" Hushed whispers of the elder fairies and even that of other species came over the room. She could almost catch her own name being thrown into the mix of their gossip. Risa knew that showing up in the dress of her grandmother in the city where the guards wanted her head was a bold and reckless move. There was fear she couldn't quite shake no matter how determined she was, causing her to grip her skirt to try to hide her trembling hands. She refused to let it show. There was no need for her to hide no longer. That dark elf had been so keen on forcing her right into the center of the mess so here she'd be. They would not usher her into hiding any longer. It was her blood they feared so she'd wear it on the outside of her skin.

Risa had not expected to garner as much attention as she did and decided to embrace it with a simple smile. A few continued staring and whispering, but most continued with their own business. She turned around to look for Kyran and Elsea, who would have entered not long after her.

”Well what is a handsome man like yourself doing standing here all alone? Perhaps you’d care for some company?”

A smile crossed Malachi's face at the voice and he turned to stare. Kenia had certainly chosen a dress that stood out. The golden wrap that came along with it was rather lovely but he found himself unable to pay too much attention to her attire but rather found his eyes traveling to her face. He had barely noticed Corvina hugging him enough to retort at her for doing so, hugging her back. It crossed his mind to make sure his mouth wasn't gaping open, which it was a little, and simply took her hand and kissed the back of her palm in greeting.

"I'm glad to see you two safe. Remember the objective for tonight and try not to get too caught up in everything." He told them. He paused as to listen to the well-dressed man speaking from the balcony. His words were about the dumb dancing arrangements that were set up beginning in twenty minutes. What really mattered was his strangely expensive clothing. Who was this man? He stared at him skeptically, looking him up and down for a moment before glancing back at the two girls "Alright ladies. Go pick up a slip from those folk with the bowls. This will be our chance to possibly find some... "He drew off as he spoke to them in a hushed voice. "Friends. Try to avoid that idiot governor if possible."

Malachi glanced back toward the room to see everyone staring at the entrance. He too glanced in the direction to see a familiar head of pink in a captivating gown that brought back memories buried deep in his old mind. Fairies had been as obnoxious as elves when it came to the royal ball attire, especially in the ancient days. A rush of whispering and talking overcame the crowd. "What is she doing..." He muttered.

How the dress of the last fairy queen had lasted after all these years was beyond him, but more importantly, why hadn't Risa worn something more inconspicuous? Why was she being so upfront? The girl had seemed young and ignorant to a point, but not this foolish. There had to be some sort of plan. She was lucky that absolutely no magic could be used in this ballroom. It was also customary that all violence never be a thing in events of this sort. The fairy girl had an angle.

》P e r s o n a l i t y

The first detail people notice about Ava is the disinterested expression on her face. She’s calm and collected most of the time, able to control her anger rather well - though she is quick to show contempt if someone displeases her. There might have been a time when Ava smiled more, but the many long years of her life as a vampire have weighed heavily on her. Despite her youthful appearance, her aura betrays this disguise, displaying openly her weariness and indifference towards life. She had enjoyed her life as a human, and consequently, it took decades before Ava was able to come to terms with what she had become. Underneath, Ava continues to harbor a twisted sense of resentment for the evil nature of vampires, which surfaces in Ava’s repulsion of vampire-kind, though she does not always openly express it.

Regardless of the centuries that have gone by, Ava continues to struggle between her two identities as human and monster. In her life as a human, Ava was raised with strict values and morals, influenced by the church and her status as a noblewoman. These teachings had imbued in her a stubborn pride, and a set of beliefs that were to be followed in order to be a virtuous and dignified woman. Becoming a vampire betrayed these values - she was revolted with her inability to control her thirst, and the violence she would unwillingly inflict on others. Though Ava disliked hurting others, it wasn’t so much that she cared tremendously for the lives of her victims, but rather how it damaged her self-image.

On a surface level, Ava is confident, to the point of arrogance, stemming from her inflexible belief that she is better than other people. She had been raised to think as such, and this view hadn’t changed much through the years, though she’s learned to be quieter about this certain opinion. She rarely feels a need to flaunt or brag, as her lofty pride is simply a deeply rooted principle of her character. Despite this side of Ava, she is a private person, and seldom speaks of her past or feelings. Her views on life make it difficult for her to become close with others - Ava holds a contempt for humans only dwarfed by her aversion to the supernatural.

》H i s t o r y

Ava was born as a noblewoman in the 17th century, to the House of La Trémoille. She was the youngest child out of three girls and two boys - a rather large family. Her father had an adequate amount of power in the french court, allowing Ava and her siblings to enjoy a degree of luxury. She had a lavish upbringing, compared to most, though her high status came with a plethora of expectations. Ava was raised to become a poised, elegant lady, in order to maximize her chances of finding a good suitor, and become a source of pride for her family. Her life was filled with lessons in etiquette, dance, music, and embroidery, and once she became of age, Ava would begin participating in balls and other high society affairs.

Simply put, Ava’s life followed a prescribed agenda. She was betrothed at 12 years of age to the son of a count, and married him several years later. She lived obediently, as she was told, and held true to her teachings, though she quite enjoyed the social aspect of noble life as well - before turning into a vampire, Ava was quite a cheerful and affectionate girl. Attending balls, tea parties, and other functions was the highlight of her youth, and served as a respite from her many lessons. Ava was spoiled - not as much as daughters from more noble families, but as expected for any member of the nobility. Whenever she wanted a new dress or set of jewelry, her family was quick to accommodate her demands. If not her family, she had servants that catered to many of her whims and inclinations.

At the age of 21, Ava had her first and only child, a son she named Albert. She loved her boy, and spoiled him in the same way she was brought up. Albert had a nanny and servants too, who usually took on most of the laborious responsibilities of parenting. This freed up much of Ava’s time, allowing her to continue her lifestyle of extravagant socializing. She frequently attended salons, which were gatherings of men and women, normally hosted by women, meant for the exchange of ideas through discussion.

There was a certain man at these events, that Ava understood to be the third or fourth son of a less powerful family, who seemed to fancy Ava quite a bit. She was appalled by his efforts of courtship, knowing that she was a married woman, and continued to reject his advances. It seemed that he took great offense to this - he believed that the solution to his predicament was to turn Ava into a vampire like himself. That way, she would have no choice but to leave her family for him.

He attacked in the spring - he thought Ava would appreciate the poetic symbolism behind his choice in timing, to represent Ava’s new beginning. He first forced her to ingest his blood, before slowly tightening his grip on Ava’s throat, to complete the transformation.

When Ava awoke, she didn’t understand why she was alive. A vivid coldness sheathed her entire being, and everything around her seemed to attack her senses. The streams of sunlight that gathered in the room singed Ava’s skin, she could hear the whispers of servants down the hall as if they were speaking next to her ears. Colors around the room were so saturated and detailed it had begun to hurt.

Ava was immediately seen by a doctor, and was told she was severely ill without much explanation as to why. Initially, Ava managed to hold back by sheer willpower, though her condition worsened. Her head hurt so much she grew violent, as if throwing vases and breaking the wooden frame of her bed with one hand would alleviate her pain. Ava hardly had time to acknowledge her newfound strength in this state of agony. It wasn’t until a full day later, when impulse grew stronger than reason, that Ava couldn’t hold back her ferocious thirst, and attacked the first servant that attended to her that morning.

Ava fled. She wasn’t sure what happened after, or what her husband and family believed, but she ran far enough that she didn’t end up finding out. During this time, Ava tried desperately to fight the animalistic desire to feed, only to end up attacking those around her in blind frenzies. She spent a long time wandering, cursing the wretched fate the higher powers have bestowed upon her. She didn’t believe she committed any sin heavy enough to warrant becoming a monster, and considered ending her life before the blood of more innocents tainted her hands.

Eventually, Ava put herself together. She reluctantly lived in a remote village, for a while, secretly feeding on its inhabitants every so often, choosing to feed while sane instead of regressing to blind assault. She disliked the savage notion of biting into flesh, and would drink from cuts she inflicted on her victims. Every few years, she moved to a new town, a new country, and built a new identity in each place. She lived the lifestyle of a commoner for most of these identities, much to her absolute disgust, before slowly rebuilding the wealth she once enjoyed. Over time, Ava spent her time trying different methods to regain a sense of humanity as well. She realized quickly that animal blood was insufficient, and keeping a weaker vampire locked up for food purposes didn’t work that well either. Defeated in her search of an alternative, Ava listlessly continued existing, place to place.

In certain moments of her long life, Ava also encountered members of both the Sinclaire Foundation and the Sanguine Moon clan, each inviting her to their cause. Ava’s resentment towards vampires kept her away, though she accepted a few requests from the Sinclaire Foundation to dispose of unchecked members in exchange for money. She was an older and therefore stronger vampire at that point, and she was delighted at the idea of killing one of her kin.

》P e r s o n a l i t y
Valentin's work and exterior belie his personality. In a sense he is the incarnation of the trope of a gentle giant. He is very polite, even shy at times, lectures being really the only setting he can perform in front of many people comfortably. The fellow helps old ladies cross the street and carries their groceries for them, while leaving bowls of milk for stray cats. Valentin also has a quite strict idea of life putting much value in honour, integrity, and duty. Anybody who gets into the way of the Hunter is an enemy of all that is good, and they must be dealt with in a non-civilian manner. The man has come to be very resistant to unexpected changes, preferring slow and steady transitions often leading him to take refuge in the past with books on history and such. The man also has a considerable violent side to him that is largely repressed when it isn't needed, but is truly horrifying when it comes to light; he makes sure to always make horrifying and gruesome examples of them to make even the most animal of werewolves and unholy of witches feel fear. His hatred for the eternal enemies of humanity leaves absolutely no room for mercy when he's on the hunt, a sort of berserk state entering the Hunter when he's on the job.

》H i s t o r y
Valentin was born into a mixed family in the Republic of Moldova, with most roots in Transylvanian Romania where he spent most of his childhood. His family were a fairly long line (about two centuries) of folk Clergy, police officers, and other people using their rustic knowledge against the many vampires locally as well as migrating werewolves and witches. To him, the sight of the supernatural was for a long time believed to be a childish figment of the imagination for a long time in his adolescence. This was not an unreasonable conclusion for him to come to, given he was in possession of a very strong imagination. Indeed he was noted as a very strange boy by most, a very big oaf talking to himself and spending most of his time with books rather than with other children — his parents suspected he had a condition of some sort, but they didn't want him diagnosed lest it destroy what little relations he had. Moving through his school years the marks of the boy were fairly good, and university was the direct path for him. It was in the fourth year of obtaining his higher education that all that past he saw of his father hunting the supernatural came back to him when news came of his uncle's death. The man was torn in half, and the lad's father needed his help. Going back to his home village Valentin was happy to oblige, but in the very orderly universe he imagined he was absolutely not prepared for the many revelations that came to him that day. They quite literally broke him, and it took quite some time including the cathartic killing of one of the culprits of the crime to put the pieces back together. With that, the previously entirely scientific education of the young man began to include many lectures taken on the humanities so that he could learn about the foe plaguing the world. This turned to a sort of obsession, the now fairly large young man doing everything in his power to avenge the fallen uncle knowing that many members of the cabal of the supernatural beings that killed his uncle were still alive and had to be hunted down.

It was some time after achieving his Doctorate that his hunt for the creatures took him back to his birthplace of Moldova. There he managed to cull a vampire, but his master fled to the Middle East to hide with non-state actors there. To have a chance at following them armed he joined the Evro Polis mercenary company, where he saw much combat against them. However, again he failed to catch their elusive leader who he now identified by name (or at least, moniker) as Archimedes. Archimedes fought his way to escape from the righteous effort of the Hunter, making his way to America. It once again took almost a year of investigation to track down the fellow, but track him down he did. Immigrating to the new world, Valentin searched the last known location of the bastard known as Ember Grove. He had to sustain himself while in the United States however, so he took two jobs; the day work of being a Professor at the local university (that would assist him in his task by giving much access to the libraries and intellectual circles there) and some contracts with Operation Humanity (which more directly aids his goal of finding his ultimate prey).

Everything's fine, calm down. I'll think of everything, trust me.

✡ 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

✡ Playable Characters ✡

✡ Accepting a small amount[Probably 2 max] of unaffiliated, ordinary humans that can get caught up in the mess ✡

Vampires

》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? ✡

✡Burning
✡ Head chopped
✡ Chopping up any important parts or organs of the body
✡ Staking through the heart
✡ Chemical V (a chemical created by Hunters that is effective in preventing vampires from healing)
✡ Werewolf bites

✡ 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

Werewolves

✡ What are they? ✡

✡The children of the moon appear as human as much as vampires do. They are commonly known as werewolves, however, have the ability to change at will instead of only on full moons. They have the ability to shapeshift into humanoid, bi-pedal wolf creatures. The Lycan is well-known for being at its strongest at a full moon. Newly-changed lycanthropes may shapeshift by force on their first few full-moons and lack control.

✡ What's the difference between humans and lycanthropes? ✡

✡ Lycanthropes eat food normally as humans, but in wolf form can choose to eat humans, vampires, or basically any creature with meat on their bones.
✡ They continue to age, even if changed into werewolves, but twice as slow as a human would.
✡ All bodily functions are as normal as humans.
✡ In wolf form, they have enhanced senses, twice the speed of the fastest human, and three times the strength of the strongest human. Their strength in wolf form is indeed superior to that of vampires. Their enhanced senses are all better than that of a vampire too. However, vampires are more agile.
✡ Enhanced speed, senses, and agility can be tapped into in human form, but not nearly as powerful as they are in wolf form. Their eyes will glow yellow if they tap into these abilities so it is a risk of exposure.
✡ Lycanthropes will heal when injured in both human and wolf form. ✡ In wolf form, wolves can howl to attract wild wolves or as a distress call to call in allies. Their howl is louder than that of a normal wolf.

✡ Where can lycanthropes be found? ✡

The lycan can be found in packs usually in more wooded areas. Lone wolves exist but most enjoy packs. Alpha wolves that lead their packs are stronger the more werewolves converted. People can be born werewolves of course, but it makes an alpha much stronger to convert humans into wolves.[

If an alpha bites a human, the werewolf that results will have a special bond to that alpha.

✡ What do werewolves think of humans? ✡

Many consider themselves to be superior beings to humans. The same concept as with vampires that pure-blood werewolves will be more arrogant than turned ones.

✡ Are werewolves able to control themselves in their wolf form? ✡

Pure-blood werewolves have no issue with this. They remember everything they do in their wolf form and they have no problem controlling themselves.
Humans who were bitten and turned into werewolves struggle with this. It takes them time to learn to control when they shift, have control of themselves during the shift and then to remember what happened in their wolf form after. They cause the most problems for humans since they often go into a full-on animalistic mode where they may attack, maul and even eat other beings without any recollection of what they did afterwards.

✡ 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.
