— general info that did not make it into the species page

GENERAL
- all citizens are mandated by the government to record their status(androids are listed publically as human)
- every day restaurants and cafes serve blood options for vampires; common choices are rat, goat or deer(with the quality getting better each time). other animal blood is available but you will have to ask for it, not many places offer anything other than the standard three.

HUMANS
straight forward, i don't think i need to explain anything.

HALFERS
- so what can you do with your halfer ability, you might be wondering. currently there is no restriction onto what your ability can be nor does it have to necessarily relate to your supernatural lineage(this decision was made so you can be creative with what you choose). some examples are the following(these are species specific but there's nothing to stop you from doing something different!):

magician halfers: exceptional luck, minor empathy, you never lose a game despite never having played it before, you're much more charming and persuasive than the people around you, etc.

werebeast halfers: telepathy, enhanced strength, a heightened personality trait(such as loyalty, aggression, etc. depending on your animal), perhaps you can grow the ears of your werebeast ascendant or the tail?, etc.

faerie halfers: plants seem to perk up around you, you're naturally inclined to perform music, you are a protegé at a type of arts, the food that you cook always seems to boost peoples moods, etc.

vampire halfers: your tastes trend towards the raw and meaty, you have better eyesight than most, you are supernaturally beautiful, you age much more slowly than those around you, etc.

android halfers: don't exist.

MAGICIANS

WEREBEASTS
- unless you are a vampire, you won't be able to distinguish a werebeast from a human until they do something particularly animal-like or they tell you specifically.
- werebeasts can include any animal, wolves and predatory cats just tend to be the dominant types
- if two werebeasts of different species have a child, their offspring will have a 50-50 chance of being one of the parent species.
- to expand on one of the points in the lore: the further away it is from a full moon, the more painful it is for you to shift(even partially). a common death statistic is beasts attempting to shift when it's still 1-2 weeks before/after the full moon; injuries can include breaking every bone in your body, your skin splitting into ribbons, bleeding out internally, etc. when it is the full moon, shifting is painless and quick(almost like falling asleep).
- werebeasts cannot mentally speak to any beast outside of their pack.

VAMPIRES
- vampires, aside from faeries in their true form, are the only species that are physically distinguishable from the other species. all vampires either have midnight black or pure white hair due to their colouring genes dying after being turned(there's no scientific explanation for it, i'm too lazy lol), their skin is always pale white(or ashy if a latino/black character), they usually have red or black eyes but it's not uncommon to see normal eye colours and their fangs are always visible.
- when drinking, vampire fangs will extend past a vampires bottom lip.
- a vampires age is from the moment they are turned or born as a vampire; if you were turned as a 20 year old, you are automatically 1 years old.
- vampires under the age of 100 will burst into flames/ash when hitting the sunlight immediately. as you get older, you become more immune but the sun will always leave you uncomfortable and drained.
- vampires can eat human food but it tastes bland unless strongly flavoured.

FAERIES
- sugar is like to faeries.
- a faeries eye colour will be the same as their aura.
- the only way to tell if somebody is a faerie(when sized up) is by looking at their eyes, it is the only magical quality that does not disappear when they become larger. their wings, glow, etc. all disappear.
- faerie magic can specialise in anything they want; flowers, water, probability, etc.
- faeries wings are individual and can range from simple to extra.
- if a faerie tears their wing, they will no longer be able to fly until it is healed. the problem with a torn wing is that it can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to heal.
- plastic surgey for wings exist but it's highly dangerous.

ANDROIDS
- unless you are made privy to the information or a vampire, you would not be able to tell an android from a human. (again, i'm too lazy to think up of a reason rn but i'll figure it out soon enough) android employers are aware of their employees non-human status and in some cases, so are other employees.
- it is illegal for somebody to reveal to an android what they unless the circumstances are unavoidable.
- androids live as humans; everything a human does, aside from bleed, an android can do. i'm going to leave it at that(stares hard at dejun).

OTHER SPECIES
- you will be private messaged about your characteristics.
