BE AWARE OF MATURE CONTENT
----------------------------------






In the city known as Era, every night is a full moon. People walk the streets as casual as one may in a city that they call home. But nothing is what it seems. Dwelling in the dark are the unknown. Humans arent the only species that inhabit the city and call the city their home. There are Were creatures of all kind, better known as Therians. There are lycans. And there are vampires. Most humans don't know about this, even when mysterious deaths appear and the news reports of humongous canine like creatures showing up out of nowhere. Or people jumping from buildings. There's another thing they dont know about. The secret organization that hunts these huge canines, and other things. The Hunters. Over generations and time periods the Hunters have been hunting these creatures out of fear of becoming one, and of humanity being over thrown. Even when everything is innocent, the Hunters have always interrupted the peace between humans and supernatural canines. Now a conflict had began to rise between all that inhabit the city, and is slowly becoming noticeable. But all should beware the threat that creeps in the darkness, watching them. Waiting for the moment to strike at the moon's peek and take all into it's abyss of black. So it is assumed that is their priority. The Darkness has returned.

--The Darkness--
The Darkness is an organization of nearly ancient human beings who have been consumed by their curiosity of dark forces, and as a result, has become one themselves. These humans are called Shadow Eaters. They wield the ability to summon "Darklings", entities or pets that abide to their master's will. These Darklings cannot be killed, only stunned and sent into a loop by powerful sources of light such as the sun or other high radiant sources of light, which also has a small effect on it's master as well. When they are sent into "loop", they do not die, but are simply destroyed and reborn. The purpose of this organization is unknown, but they are known to be mutual towards the other supernatural species. They live in the shadows of the world and city, observing before making their moves. Though The Darkness is a very efficient organization, not all Shadow Eaters are known to be apart of it because most are unaware of what they are and havent unlocked their abilities. These Shadow Eaters are known as Dormants, while the ones who have unlocked their potentials are called Awakins.
Dormants only have the ability to sense other supernatural beings and can endure a bit more than an average human can. Their reflexes are fairly sharpened as well as their senses. This class of Shadow Eaters, as stated, are unaware of their true abilities and cannot summon Darklings to aid them. There are four ways that a Dormant may unlock their power and those ways are: drinking the blood of a lycan, human, and vampire all at once, drinking the black blood of a Shadow Eater that has in fact unlocked their potential, be extremely close to death, or have a traumatic experience. When their potential is unlocked, their new bred powers almost match those of the higher powers temporarily and their urge to kill is almost uncontrollable if their will isnt strong enough.
The higher power of The Darkness are known as Diablos. They are the elders, though most of their appearances may contradict this. With outstanding physical strength, speed, and agility, their power is far beyond those of an average Shadow Eater. They wield the ability to transform into a more powerful version of Darkling as well as conjure them to their side. But in this form, they are more vulnerable to death by weapons carved from very rare and almost non-existent bronze ore. Since their are only five that are this powerful, only one of these Diablos awake every one hundred or so years, picking up where the other left off while the other four return to their slumber. The headquarters of The Darkness organization is a little further off into the city in a very large white mansion that continues to collect age to it's features and is surrounded by a tall gate.

Therian/Therianthropy:
Therianthropy is the mythological ability of human beings to metamorphose into animals by means of shapeshifting. This metamorphosis is similar to that of both lycan and werewolf, but the difference being that they do not exactly transform into wolves. Instead, transformations include a variety of animals in which the transformations can be made, but are limited to how long they can be sustained. There are some Therians that have no control of their actions, and have to be taught how to tame themselves through self-evaluation in order to keep their memories of who they are as well as their sentience. This species is somewhat of a relative to werewolves and lycans, but are said to have existed far longer than both. They are usually an ally to the lycan kind and live near the suburban outskirts of the city.

Vampires:
The vampires. Everyone knows of vampires. But none no of which ones are good, and which ones are evil. There are some that can walk among humans in the daylight and not be harmed, and there are some who only move at night. But one thing that they all have in common is their disliking for Lycan kind, as well as the Therians since they associate themselves with them. They have been in existence for a very long time, but something that has been failed to be realized by most is that there are more than one type of them that carry different traits. They branched form the ancestors, but in different means, many being more unique than others.

Sanguine Vampires- Distinguished from their kin by their luminous mixed red-grey eyes, they must regularly drink fresh human (or animal) blood in order to sustain their life. Some cannot be satisfied with blood from dead animals, and would prefer live ones. This type of vampires is most common, and the most adaptive blood drinking vampires because one single feeding of blood can provide them with a subsidence for two weeks or more. After feeding, their eyes seem to turn a scarlet red with black slits as pupils.

Psi-Vampires - Psi- vampires does not physically harm their victims or willing donors, but they extract life force which enables them to continue living. This psionic ability can work both with single victims, and by extracting the life force from crowds of people. Most often, victims cannot notice that the vampire is feeding from them, and effects of such feeding can be short and long term fatigue (they vary rarely lead to death). They can be distinguished by their almost grey blue or sliver white eyes. They also have the smallest fangs, which makes them the most human like despite their means of feeding. They are the most human friendly and are able to sustain a more human eye color except when they feed. The only opposite to this is that when they feed off of to much negative life force, their mental state is effected and can drive them to become very unpredictable. It is not known how many there are exactly.

Emphatic Vampires - These types of vampire can feed from the emotion of people around them, most often positive energies such as happiness and love, but also from negative energies such as anger and fear. Vampires that feed from such darker emotions are often responsible for causing them (scaring the victim), but the rest of empathic vampires simply feed from the currently present emotions that are present around them. Much like the Psi-Vampires, their fangs are smaller compared to their blood drinking relatives, and feeding off of too much negative can result in an effective outcome of temporary insanity or depression. There eyes are usually those of a magnificent golden complexion or a dark green depending on the amount of positive or negative emotional energy they had drained.

Malkavian Vampires - Willful and sometimes unwanted conversion of human into vampire can sometimes induce mental illnesses and creation of insane vampires who cannot be easily control themselves. Their subconscious is the only thing that stops them from going on a feeding frenzy, which is why they try and seclude themselves on the very brinks of the city, but killing anything that crosses their path and draining them of their blood completely. They are also more carnivorous than any of the other kinds of vampires because their hunger for blood is so deep that they began to devour the flesh of both human and animal alike, and even other vampires. Ones that are spotted are known to have self inflicted wounds from their own extreme hunger. Their insanity makes them extremely dangerous, and their dilated eyes are a permanent blood red, showing almost no pupil. It is simply unwonted for this cycle of insanity to be broken, which is why there very few of them. Some say that the almost non existing pupil represents the subconscious, and the red that surrounds it represents the insanity that consumes them.

Dhampir-Being the offspring of human and vampire though they arent exactly accepted by purebred vampires, they still live among humans peacefully. They have inhuman strength and speed and are sometimes more powerful than purebreds. They dont require the need for blood and can dine and survive off of human foods, though blood actually does make them stronger. They dont have the usual weaknesses of vampires which makes them a lot more fit for survival.

Lycans
The Lycans are the second generation werewolves. They're faster, stronger, and able to keep their intelligence even after transforming into the big wolves that they are. The lycans are more likely to stick together than to be divided because after all, they are one large pack. Of course there are other packs as well. They have a great despise for vampires, or "leeches" as they call them and they do not take kindly to finding them in their territory. Even so, they have found it atleast tolerable that a few of their kind have managed to have a mutual relationship with them negotiation wise, but even that is beginning to dwindle down to just wanting nothing to do with them. When it comes to Therians, they are very fond of them and see them as another form of themselves except with many more forms. When they were at their lowest point, it was the Therians that came and brought them back up and aided them without any question. At night, they hunt animals outside the city and return by daylight. They make their home under the city when in animal form, and make sure that humans are kept from that specific area so no harm would have to come to them. From time to time, they are liable to just eat them when they have to. They dislike hunters for the simple reason that they stick their noses where they dont belong, and brought violence onto themselves, only to turn and try to point the finger at creatures they dont understand all to well. They live by the rule "Keep What You Kill" and are most likely to fight amongst themselves for the rank of "Alpha", though no one has dared to challenge the current one at all. The current alpha is referred to as a King, and his fierce red eyes strike fear into most and keeps order.
The current Alpha actually never changes into human form, which causes some to think that he has lost his humanity to the animal he is now. But contradicting that is the fact that....he can speak.

The Hunter
The Hunters have been in order since the 1860, when Abraham Lincoln had began to hunt vampires, though they didnt officially began until the early 1930's. It started when a young mayor's town was caught in the middle of a conflict between vampires and large canine like animals that were more intelligent than one may have thought. The people were frightened as the deaths of the town began to increase. People feared for their lives. The young mayor, Charles Fareway, decided to take action and began to build up a group that had to defend the town from these evil creatures and protect the innocence that were being effected by them. He was included in this group. They began to create weapons in order to make a more effective impact when they found that their normal guns wouldnt be much effective, and there forth they resorted to stakes crafted from steel and hatchets. Though they worked very effectively when it came to vampires, the lycans were far more savage and skilled when it came to close quarters because of their superior animal instinct and human-like intelligence. They made the mistake of judging them as bigger dogs. As time began to pass, they began to become more crafty with their weaponry and began to improve likewise. The conflict between them, the lycans, and the vampires lessen and a peace was looked to be made. But the hunters didnt rest. Just as they were coming to an agreement, the hunters unleashed and attack upon both races which resulted in an all out assault in anger and betrayal. As the years continued to go on, the hunters had decided to scatter out into groups and enter different areas of the US as well as other nations to start Hunting Parties and one of them settled in the mysterious dark city of Era. There they have been hunting and insuring that the people remained safe and all that was in the dark stayed there. Their weapons consist of advanced bows and firearms as well. They carry around light unnoticeable gear in the daylight just in case they get contacted to tend to an investigation or an attack from something that's not human. Their hand to hand combat and skill with weaponry has improved, but it's unknown if they are prepared from the darker things that lays in the shadows of the city.

Rules:
*No god modding.
I mean, it's alright to be powerful, but come on. Endless fight scenes arent much of fight scenes. More like eternal conflict. Which would be pointless. Right?
*No killing other characters without permission
*Lets try to limit one liners. We want this to be interesting and have progress being made.
*Sex is allowed because, well, how else were Dhampir's brought into existence right? XD
*Violence is Violence. If you cant do violence then this definitely isnt the place, because typically, blood and gore will be involved.
*Swearing is caring. And caring is swearing. Searing is caring, but do not go over board. BOOP! <<<**Says in a sing-along fashion.**<<<

It should already be well enough known how I feel without questions, and though I dont feel that it's necessary to state it, I will for the sake of those who wouldnt know. If you have any, ask me. I dont bite.....but the vampires and pretty much everything else does.
