species list
vampiresvampires are only able to live on human blood: whether it be from a blood bank or straight from the human. vampires are created when bitten and injected with venom which gradually changes them into a vampire over a course of several weeks. unless the human remembers the encounter with the vampire, they'll be unsure of how they suddenly change. vampires have ordinary colour eyes, but when feeding they flash red. the only way you can spot a vampire is by the pale & ice cold skin. as they have no heartbeats they have no body warmth. they do have fangs, but these are usually hidden unless feeding or scaring others. vampires do not age from the moment they're bitten. they cannot have children with fellow vampires, UNLESS a male vampire has a child with a human. half vampire children have mixed abilities from both races, but usually can stop aging when they choose.
werewolveswerewolves only transform during the full moon period, and are unable to control their own actions. the bloodthirsty beast takes over and they cannot be around any human without fear of killing them. all werewolves have a taste for meat, and you'd never find a vegetarian werewolf. there's two ways of becoming a werewolf: being bitten and through your genes. usually bitten werewolves are the ones who were left to die, but transformed instead. werewolves are able to breed with humans and fellow werewolves. there's a 50% chance of inheriting the werewolf gene if you're half anf half, but you'll definitely have the gene if both your parents are werewolves.
shiftersshifters have a rare genetic gene which allows them to change into one animal of their choosing. shifters are just like humans, although they possess a few abilities of their animal form when they're in their human one. it's usually hard to spot a shifter in a crowd of humans: unless they keep an obvious animal trait when in human form. shifters are able to breed with both their own kind and humans, and their children have the same chances as werewolves do regarding the shifting gene. shifters are more accepted in society than any other breed, purely because they look and act like humans.
angelsangels are one of the purest creatures you'll ever meet. they believe that everyone has good in them, even some demons. some angels have been around since the beginning of time, thus showing how they do not age and seem to live forever. angels have wings, and are able to fly with these. also, like elves they have an affinity for light and seem to radiate happiness. unfortunately it's very hard for angels to have children, and even those that have been around since the beginning of time have only had four or five. however, angels that have children with other species are able to reproduce almost as quickly as any other race. these half angel children are frowned down upon as they are not the 100% pure creatures they should be. the only creatures that angels find it hard to see good in are the demons. in the past there has been half demon and half angel children, and these children were shunned from society.
demonsdemons are the complete opposite of angels in every way possible. they thrive on darkness and despair, and cannot stand seeing people joyful and happy. demons do not have wings, banishing the belief that demons are really fallen angels. unlike angels, demons can reproduce at the same rate as any other species, but similarly see it as a crime to have children with anyone other than demons. it's quite unusual to find a half demon, as most are pure. demons do not live forever, but live for an extended time (usually about two hundred years.)
elvesthere's typically two sorts of elves, and they are quite different from how media has portrayed them. light elves are the elves that prefer sunlight and nature, and just generally love being outdoors. these elves tend to have an affinity for light, and can practically make a dark room glow with their presence. light elves generally have light hair and eyes, but this isn't always the case. dark elves are the complete opposite of their cousins, and prefer dwelling in darker places. however, this doesn't mean they're pure evil creatures. they're not. dark elves have an affinity for darkness, and usually have dark hair and eyes. both elves are an average human height.
nymphsthere are two types of nymphs: dryads and naiads. dryads have an attachment to the earth, and have a special connection with a tree of their choice. dryads are incredibly graceful, and are usually quite tall. naiads have an affinity for water, and are amazing swimmers. if they had to they could survive easily underwater, although none choose to live like a mermaid or a similar mythical creature. naiads are beautiful, and are also quite tall. nymphs can breed with their own race and humans. breeding with a human means they'll have a few human traits entwined in with their nymph ones, although they'll be more nymph than human.
witcheswitches are incredibly similar to humans, except for the fact they have special powers in their blood. they use herbs, crystals, candles, and other equipment, to cast spells. the witches are more like traditional witches in stories; they do not have wands like the modern day harry potter version. men can be witches, but they do not possess as much power as the females do, so really the females dominate the race. witches live for an average human live, and can have as many children as they wish. witches tend to smell a bit like spices, and appear more flawless than normal humans.
hybridshybrids can be a mix of any race, no matter what species. if the hybrid is a mix between a supernatural race and a human, the supernatural qualities will be more dominant over the human ones. hybrids are accepted as another race altogether, but certain hybrids are frowned down upon for a number of reasons: especially angel and demon ones. all hybrids are different: only sibling hybrids have similar qualities. the most common hybrids are ones between humans and other races, but nowadays there's more variety.
gifted humansgifted humans are humans that possess certain gifts. gifted humans are quite common, and have one or two gifts depending on the power. this gifts can range from telepathy to being able to talk to animals. it's very rare for gifted humans to have more than two gifts, but when it happens it's generally because gifted humans have always been somewhere in the family tree. gifted humans can have children with any species, but generally attempt to stick within the human side of things.
