Thread: [WB] Earth II: Terra

WORLD TEMPLATE Name- Earth II or Terra Basic Summary- Terra looks very much like our present day planet Earth which is why it is also known as Earth II and is similar in all aspects of both flora and fauna as well as intelligent civilizations. The one differing factor between Terra and our Earth is that, unlike on our Earth, supernatural beings do indeed exist. Humans are learning about such beings at an exponential rate compared to their past, so such creatures are now finding themselves at a crossroads. On the brink of exposure, supernatural beings must band together and fight for the ideology and philosophy they believe. That is, do they expose themselves fully to humans and integrate within society or do they remain hidden and determine a way to handle the ever rising threat humans have on their secret existence. Genre- ModernUrbanFantasy PN Level- 4 Tech Level- 5 Population- Approximately 7 billion. Notable Locations- Terra has all the same geographical features of Earth. Similar well known cities, similar National Parks, etc. The only difference is that the names for such things and the exact layout might not be the same. One city that should be noted, however, is Yorkton. It is comparable to Earth's NYC being a larger east coast metropolis that is located near the ocean and has a very well used subway system. It's in this city that one of perhaps several notable gangs had come into power. The gang known as The Defenders. Notable Persons- Terra has a similar time line to that of Earth. Therefore, most historical and present day figures have or do exist on Terra, they just go by different names. In Yorkton, a gang that calls themselves The Defenders has risen to power. More than likely other such gangs have come about elsewhere but details about them are sparse and difficult to pinpoint. Presently, most information on such gangs can be found about The Defenders in Yorkton. Based on what is known about them, it's been determined that they have affiliations with the occult and other such magics. The only ones who have more information about them would be the seedier circles within the lives of the supernatural, those who've dealt with them on a fairly regular basis. Though this wouldn't be known by your average human on Terra, only those who are aware of supernatural beings in the first place. Advanced Summary- Terra is nearly identical to Earth. The major difference other than name changes and city layouts is that the world is teeming with supernatural creatures. These creatures are on the brink of exposure due to the exponential rate at which humans are starting to learn of their existence. As a result, they have come to a crossroads where they must decide whether or not they wish to fully integrate within society or to remain a hidden secret and thus deal with the human threat. Though there are humans who are very well aware of the existence of supernatural beings, more are clueless about them than the other way around. Regardless, supernatural beings as a whole recognize that they must come to a decision and proceed accordingly. Unfortunately, two main ideological philosophies sprung up, dividing them all into two major factions. The Sympathizers, or those who wish to come clean to the human race and fully integrate within their society, showing that co-existence is possible. And the Haemophiles, or those who wish to remain hidden forever, keeping their lives and existence secret, knowing full well that they'll have to deal with the human threat once and for all if they are to uphold their beliefs. The largest group of supernatural beings, and thus those with most political sway, are the vampires. It was because of this that those who wanted to remain hidden called themselves Haemophiles. Lovers of blood. Other such supernatural beings that exist include, but aren't limited to, werewolves, shape-shifters they can become any animal they choose, merfolk, demons, orcs, wraiths and shadows. Though several supernatural beings have banded together due to ideological philosophy as far as the humans go, there are many arguments and disputes occurring within each faction. Not all supernatural beings get along. There are some groups that do have a natural hatred towards another. For example, vampires and werewolves do not get along nor do werewolves and shape-shifters. Of course, exceptions can and do occur, but such things are rare. It's mainly the factions and what they represent that keep anyone together as far as everything goes. The war that is occurring between the two factions has become known as The Blood War. So named due to the fact that it was the vampires who started everything. The war has remained hidden from humans for the most part. But with more and more learning about them and with the war becoming more and more intense over time, it's been getting harder to keep such battles secret. Slowly but surely humans who hadn't been aware of the supernatural are getting sucked into the war. Not only does this concern the supernatural, but the humans who are aware as well.
