Species List

Witches are humans who have been blessed to use magic. Most witches will only be able to use certain spells and it is always a give and take system that they must choose, or else wither away. Most witches will use sacrifices of small animals or their own blood, as giving something involving life is the most sacred and will reward them powerful results. All witches have what they call a "Sixth Sense" that is unique to them, such as being able to know when someone is lying, reading minds through touch, ect. Witches are most often born as such, though there are rare cases of witches developing their powers through teachings, or having a High Priestess pass down her ability to someone ungifted. Hierarchy: High Priestess - A skilled witch (always female) who has been studying the ways of magic since birth. She often will teach younger magic users and is highly respected amongst other magic users. There are often only one High Priestess per Coven, but it isn’t uncommon for their to be a High Priest as well (a male counterpart). Average Witch - This is self explanatory. An average witch is someone who was born with the ability to use magic and can learn to become better as they age. Taught Witch - Someone who wasn’t born into magic, and was instead brought into a coven and taught the ways of magic. Most witches dislike these witches, as they do not believe they deserve their magic because it’s breaking the law of what the “Goddess” wants.

There are two types of werewolves; those born with the curse and those who were bitten. Those that are cursed from a bite have a very low ability to control their shifting, while those who were born with the curse are able to control when and how they shift. They are often less feral in their shifted form, while those who are bitten are often feral even when it’s not a full moon.
Werewolves are the most common of the shifters, as they are found in all climates, both in the wild and hidden in civilization. Werewolf packs are organized similar to wolf packs, with an alpha in command of the entire group. The moral and ethical outlook of the pack tends to follow that of the alpha.

Weaknesses: Silver, wolfsbane (to ward them off).

Clan System:

Alpha - The Alpha is the strongest wolf of the pack, and oftentimes they have fought their way to the top. Alphas have a certain smell and look to them that will identify them as such even to those outside of their pack. All alphas are different depending on their clan/pack, some are kind and others are ruthless leaders.

Luna - The Alpha’s mate/partner. Sometimes the Alpha may choose to have multiple mates/partners, but the Luna is in charge of helping the Alpha make decisions about the pack and is the main partner. They are above all the others. They have the utmost respect above the other pack members.

Feral/Berserker - Wolves who can’t control their shift, and tend to burst into their war form without their own consent. They are unable to control their actions while shifted and tend to be dangerous toward their own kind, which often gets them kicked from most clans/packs. They tend to become transients because of this.

A vampire is an intelligent undead creature which feeds off the blood of the living in order to prolong its unnatural life afflicted, or blessed depending on one's viewpoint, by the curse of vampirism. Amongst their own kind, true vampires use the slang term full-blood to distinguish themselves from those they consider lesser but associated beings, for instance, vampire spawn or dhampirs.

Dhampir - are the cursed, mortal progeny of vampires. They are sometimes termed half-vampire or, more cruelly, half-dead. Most dhampirs are tall and slender, possessing physical grace and unearthly beauty. While eye colour, skin hue, and hair colour resembles that of the mother, they also possess a ghostly pallor which people find unnerving. They tend to move with unworldly fluidity, and have a piercing gaze. Finally, all dhampirs possess elongated incisors, a trait passed down from the vampiric progenitor.
Regardless of their heritage, dhampirs are still mortal creatures, although their aging process slows down to the rate comparable to that of elves.

Demons are destructive creatures native to the deepest parts of the Underground. They are ferocious, irredeemably evil creatures, and will attack and kill anything for the sheer fun of it, including other demons. There are lesser demons, however, that are far less destructive but will still hang around easily manipulative souls to torment them until death. They are sometimes mistaken as fae, but are fare more dangerous. If you or a loved one believe you have a demon in your house you may be entitled to a -

Shifters are sometimes called the weretouched, as many believe that they are the descendants of humans and lycanthropes. They are humanoids with a bestial aspect; while they cannot fully change shape they can temporarily enhance their animalistic features – a state they call shifting. Whatever their origins, shifters have evolved into a unique race. A shifter walks on the knife’s edge between the wilds and the world around them.
They have learned to use glamours to hide their animal parts to keep from the prying eyes of humans and to stay in hiding.
