General Supernatural knowledge
VampiresStrengths:
Night vision.
Enhanced athletics.
Enhanced senses.
Feeding of blood from humans enhances powers.
A power of your choice. If you can't come up with one ask me for suggestions.
Weaknesses:
Can go out in the day but get really nasty sunburns.
Can be killed by beheading, stab through the heart, and fire.
Their blood bubbles when cut by steel but it can't kill them.
Feeding off of animals will eventually turn them insane.
How to cure vampirism:
The one who needs to be cured can only be if they have never drank any blood at all. After that, they need to drink a mixture of a vampire who is over 1000-years old and dead man's blood. The process painfully takes 24 hours.
Rand's Notes:
Vampires, probably the most common supernatural that this world has. There have always been constant variations on what people thought they were like, then there was the tie in with churches and crosses somehow became a vampire's weakness. I guess they depicted vampires as a spawn of Satin? No idea, I didn't go much into it studying how people were wrong. Anyhow, there's no relation to that whatsoever. Really the only similarity are the fangs and murdering humans.
On basic description of vampires, there's not much. It's just the simple two fangs that are the canine teeth that they can switch back and forth at will. Steel seems to be the only way to identify them when they're trying to hide. When they're cut by it, the blood pours out and sizzles like it's being boiled. It's pretty effective, but the problem is that you need to get close and slice them with a knife, which becomes a really awkward situation when you're wrong. Vampires are mostly nocturnal, but there's no harsh effects on them going out in the sun, all they really need is some sunscreen.
Getting into a fight with these things are quite nasty, especially if you're alone. For starters, they're stronger in both athletics and senses than the normal human, and they have pretty good nightvision to top it off. Steel is the most effective weapon against them as it is the only element that has a unique effect on them. Don't ask me why, it's some scientific reason, like their body doesn't agree with it like ours does with poisons but on a more radical rate. Beheading them is an effective method to making sure they're dead, but shooting or stabbing them in the heart does the job as well. The problem with the latter is that it sometimes doesn't kill them, so what I recommend is beheading them afterwards. Fire works but is probably the worst method for doing so. They can burn to death but holy crap that takes way too long. I remember pouring gasoline in a room with an unconsciousness vampire then setting it flame since I had no other weapons. I sat outside the room for about three hours when he finally stopped screaming.
LycansStrengths:
Can turn into a full wolf at will.
Stronger and faster.
Greater sight, smell, and hearing.
A power of your choice. If you can't come up with one ask me for suggestions.
Weaknesses:
Silver is poisonous.
Can be killed by beheading, stab in the heart, fire, and too much silver interaction.
Newly turned can go insane if they are not helped by others when they turn into a wolf.
How to cure a Lycan:
The one who needs to be cured can only be if they have never drank the blood of humans. If they haven't, they need to drink liquid silver and a mix of a lycan who's over a 1000-years old.
Rand's Notes:
Lycanthropes, not werewolves, remember that. Lycans can morph at will, werewolves can't and don't have control over their wolf form. It's as simple as that and still some people mix it up. It really bugs me. Anyway Lycans have a relation to werewolves and that's the simple silver. Cut them deep and they'll be crying for hours. Even poking these guys with it makes them visibly poisoned. Having a silver rod or dagger at all times is a pretty safe precaution and good tester against them.
Their wolf form can be of various wolves, but so far I haven't seen any that were close to house dogs. The types and colors can vary, but their eye color stays the same. Pretty much the only thing that you can connect. Also wounds, those are the same as well. The weaknesses don't change at all when they change, but their sense to hunt is more driven when their in their wolf form.
Killing a werewolf is a bit easier than other supernatural. Of course, they're also slightly tougher than you average vampire so that factor really balances them. Decapitation, fire (seriously don't try fire I already explained why), stab in the heart, and silver will do the job. If you have a silver blade, the most ideal solution is to stab them in the heart. Easiest way to take them down and out for the count.
Sirens/SuccubiStrengths:
Can seduce males. Sirens with their singing voice and succubi with their persuasive powers.
Rapid reactions.
After a period of time with a male, they can basically brainwash him by kissing him and sharing saliva to make him a fanatic servant.
Succubi have powerful regeneration.
Sirens can breath underwater indefinitely and have minimal water powers.
Weaknesses:
All their power is in their voice.
Have no real power on females.
Any males they brainwash can be freed by the controller dying or the male not having contact with their controller for 24 hours.
Succubi can only be killed by decapitation. Sirens through beheading, fire, stab through the heart, starvation.
Their blood bubbles when cut by iron but it can't kill them.
How to cure a siren/succubus:
There is no way to.
Rand's Notes:
Right. Succubi. I don't like them. Sure they're not as physically strong as their spin-offs like empousai and sirens, but I personally hate them the most. Their reputation is also the best out of the two, being "the devil's whores" or whatever people also name them. Really, that's a lie and they're not demons, but some people still think that. Really, I'm not sure how succubi came into existence, but it was probably like lycans and vamps where there was some genetic difference of the alpha and that alpha made more of her kind. That's all I got for ya on that.
Succubi are known for their persuasive powers they have over males. It gets really annoying having to deal with these things, especially when they already have servants ready to give their lives for her. Going solo when you're male like me against a succubus is basically suicide, because you'll be dropping your weapon and roll over like a dog for her. Headphones can somewhat block their voice out, but they can get through that sometimes as well unlike their spin-offs. I'd like to say their most annoying aspect is how hard it is to kill them. Bleeding out, starvation, heart stabbed, fire, drowning (though it will knock them unconscious after a while), suffocation, none of those things works. Sure it hurts them but none of that stuff will kill them, and they're powerful regeneration just makes it go away within a couple hours. The only way I've really discovered so far on the sure way is decapitation. Yep, that's it, and it gets very hard because you can't decapitate something with a gun. You have to get really close and that's how they like it. This is why I just have Sarah do it most of the time for me while I blast Metallica through my headphones outside of the building.
Siren origins are varied. The most common form are the ones I call the spin-offs of succubi, but of course there's the ancient "pure" race of them. Those ones are weird and creep me out, but they're extinct so I don't have to worry about them! And if any of them exist I will be angry.
Sirens are almost a different matter when it comes to their powers. Sure, they also have persuasive like powers but with them it's in their singing. Cut their singing before they have you within their grasp, and you're fine, half the time. They can really easily start singing again, and then it's back to square one. But cut their voice or blast on your headphones during that time, then you're good. If you don't, same result as becoming a succubi's slave, complete dominance over your mind. Fortunately, their much easier to kill. Stabbing, bleeding out, decapitation, fire, they all work quite well, except obviously you can't drown them. Yeah, putting them in water is the worst idea you can have. Not only can they breath forever in it, but some have water powers and several others can turn their legs into a "mermaid tail". And no, mermaids don't exist, and if you think you've met one, run as soon as she begins singing.
Note: None of these species are affected by any religious or "blessed" items, that's just a superstition.
To find any custom supernatural traits you'll need to find that person's CS.
Demons:Strengths:
Have no actual body and is just a thick black smoke.
Can possess any unwarded body.
Enhanced senses.
Incredible stamina and strength inside host.
Doesn't feel pain inside host unless by specific weakness.
Can give host control over themselves.
A unique power for each demon. (i.e. Vision, Telekinesis, Invisibility, Pyrokinesis.)
Demon possessing someone:
Weaknesses:
Refined Steel
Salt
Oil
Devil's Trap
Can be killed inside host by an oil fire.
Can be casted out of host by forced indulgence of a large amount of oil or salt.
If forcefully casted out of host, needs time to gain strength to possess another body.
Rand's Notes:
Demons are not a fun species to mess with, I'll just state that right now. The part I hate most about them is that they have no actual physical body and they just take over someone else's like a parasite. And like a parasite the demon has a chance of escaping when you kill the host, which makes matters worse. The origin of demons is of mixed ideas. From what I've learned, demons are just another species and just got their name for acting like the devil in several cases. Really, they're just another creature that us hunters have the wonderful job to take down, really that simple.
What I personally hate about demons the most is how they're all unique. Not in that nice elementary school you-are-all-special different, the in-what-way-can-this-thing-kill-me kind of different. All demons have an individual power kind of like vampires and lycans except in a more scary alternative, and I don't like that very much thank you. The different variety in powers forces me to wait until I discover their power so I can figure out the best way to ensnare them without screwing myself over.
Killing a demon isn't fun. While they're not as hard to kill as a succubus the problem is killing them without also killing the host. The preferable method is to first ensnare the target into a devil's trap. It's far more effective than salt because several demons can find a way out of that while Devil's Trap keeps them in a single place and disables their abilities for the time their in it. Problem is getting the demons to walk into the trap in the first place, so preparation is essential when fighting demons. After you've finally gotten them in you're free to do whatever to them, and this is where I usually force feed them salt and drag their smoke hides out of the host. I usually position myself to where the smoke is going and target it head on. The demons without their essential host are virtually powerless. Chucking salt at the smoke works but sometimes doesn't kill it which ruins the whole process. What I've found to be most effective is to literally chop the smoke in half with my steel blade. From what I can tell it's like chopping a body in half. Doing this has proven to be 100% effective and I've never seen it fail as long as I'm accurate. When a demon dies, the smoke drops to the ground and dissipates, leaving only some sulfur behind.
