HUMANS  :  a rarity in current times, they make up only 2.5% of the remaining population. After the 'fall of humanity' centuries ago, humans integrated with the supernatural world after having no choice and as such, finding a 'pure' human is rare.

while there is nothing particularly outstanding about them, the human race continue to be hardy and adaptive in ways the other races are not. Too bad for their rapidly dwindling numbers.

HALFERS : a generally accepted term for humans who have some percentage supernatural blood running through their veins. Generally, the Halfers only exhibit one trait of their supernatural heritage but for unknown reasons, it is becoming more and more common for Halfers to develop an ability that was not a part of their ascendant bloodline. The most common Halfers are those with enhanced strength or an exaggerated personality trait. Even if you only have 12% of supernatural blood in your veins, you are considered a halfer. 

telepaths are becoming an increasing denominator but being able to read minds and see the future has its drawbacks. A general rule of thumb is the stronger your ability(no matter what it is) the more likely you are to die at an early age. Halfers do not gain any age advantage.

MAGICIANS : the next in line for closest to a pure human. Magicians were gifted with magic from a deity centuries ago and their gifts pass on to the next generation. Physically, the magicians are no different to humans or halfers despite their extra abilities. Common spells include tracking, illusion, conjuration, etc. with each magician specialising in a particular magic. Most magicians can class themselves into one of three categories: offensive(their magic actively hinders others), defensive(their magic revolves around protection of self or others) or versatile(a healthy balance between the two but they are considerably weaker than their counterparts).

Magicians are a rare race and highly valued. They tend to work in areas such as law enforcement or protection and are the only race aside from wolves to have an upper hand against the vampires. Magicians can live to 150 years old in rare cases.

VAMPIRES : ah, the classic vampire. while not as populous as other breeds, the vampires are still the most formidable and, as such, the most despised of the races. Due to their rather feral behaviour, blood is a highly regulated luxury that is rationed carefully to keep the vampires alive but not dangerous. Their current diet consists of animal blood(rat being the most common, with goat and deer coming in behind).

vampires are easily distinguishable by the following traits: pale skin, black or white hair, fangs and red eyes. They are strong and have keen senses, however they grow weak in the sun(vampires under the age of 100 turn to ash instantly) and are more susceptible to magic. Blood, unless closely watched, will always send vampires into a violent bloodlust hence the apprehension to their race. Common vampire age: between 1(year since turning) and 200 years. Vampires older than 200 tend to be rare and are most often coven leaders. They are technically immortal but only an exceedingly rare few make it past their 500th year.

WEREBEASTS : the natural enemy of the vampire and the most highly populated species at this current time. The werebeast is predominantly of either the wolf or predatory cat family and is a creature ruled by his instincts, instincts that grow stronger as the full moon draws close. Werebeasts are pack reliant, do not like strangers and place loyalty above all other things.

each animal form is unique though you can usually distinguish between alphas and their followers by their size(note: a/b/o does not exist here aside from alphas being natural pack leaders). They can talk with their minds during the full moon with pack members and can rival the vampires strength. Their transformation can happen at will but the further away it is from a full moon, the higher the pain and likelihood of the werebeast dying; it's encouraged they do not shift unless it is 1-2 days before/after or during the full moon. Were blood is highly toxic to vampires. Werebeasts live a longer than usual lifespan with the average being around 120 years before passing away.

FAERIES : tiny little things, the faeries, they are no taller than your standard barbie doll and have a unique set of wings. Faeries tend to be friendly creatures, eager to please but easy to anger; the temper of a faerie is a long one so you would do well to avoid their wrath. These creatures live in miniature homes and apartments found in the oddest nooks and crannies of the city. Faerie magic is relatively weak. All faeries will dabble in one element as well as general magic such as flight, enchantments and size adjustment. Faeries are able to grow to the size of a human if need be, however, this takes all their concentration so all other powers are unavailable to them until they revert to their natural form.

Faeries are recognisable by theit tiny size, wings and their highly visible aura(white with a tinge of colour unique to each faerie). Faeries are long lived, generally capping out at 200-250 years old before they return to the earth(faerie remains turn into flowers).

ANDROIDS : perhaps the most mysterious and the rarest of all species. Androids are a relatively new invention by an unknown creator. However.. these creatures are not aware of their non-human status; it would be wise to avoid telling them the truth. They breathe, eat, love, , all as we do but rather than veins under their skin, it's highly developed wiring. These beings are incredibly smart and typically possess photographic or eidetic memories.

Thanks to their non human status, the android is impervious to any and all supernatural influences that may cause them harm. For physical harm, androids tend to believe they are just incredibly lucky for avoiding major injury their entire lives but the reason for this is an inbuilt program to help avoid any damage to themselves. Androids, if in the wrong hands, can be a very powerful and dangerous tool. Androids are technically immortal.

**Androids are a limited species. only accepting 10 at most right now.

OTHER SPECIES ARE ALLOWED BUT LIMITED. HOWEVER I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING 'HIGH FANTASY' CREATURES SUCH AS DRAGONS, PHEONIXES, ETC. AS THEY ARE EXTINCT IN THIS ROLEPLAYS LORE OR ARE NOT HUMANOID. I WILL PRIVATE MESSAGE YOU IF YOUR SPECIES NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
