Vernice, Is That Blood?

1. #1The World

   Always on · Before character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   This is an alternate modern day setting. The world just like it is, however hidden among humanity are supernatural beings. Vampires. werewolves, dryads, ghosts and other beings live among us. Most can pass as human, and live out lives no different than anyone else. Others give in to their darker urges. Vampire hunters seek out vampires, beast slayers hunt down werewolves and other such creatures. All of this happens without the mundane world noticing. Many news outlets and corporations are secretly run by unnatural beings, or are fronts for organizations that hunt them.

   The majority of non-human beings put a lot of effort into "blending in". They live regular lives, work jobs like anyone else. And have to find ways to cope with their monstrous natures. Vampires will have secret deals with blood banks to keep them supplied with blood so they don't have to prey on humans. Werewolves chain themselves up during a full moon so that they don't go on a rampage. Dryads often work as park rangers to stay close to nature. Nymphs use their beauty to make good careers as models.

   Some of these creatures will indulge in their darker natures. Some vampires find pleasure in feeding on humans. Some werewolves will happily go howl at the moon. But they always have to be careful, because there is always someone hunting the hunter.

   Entry settings

   Vampires are humans who have been "turned". They appear very pale compared to normal humans, and usually have red eyes which get brighter as their hunger grows, they also have pronounced fangs (about twice the length of human canines, and sharper).

   FEEDING: A typical vampire needs to feed on blood (the equivalent of one blood bag) every week. The longer they go without, the more their hunger takes over and drives them to feed. A ravenous vampire has a hard time controlling their instincts. A decently fed vampire has full control and can ensure they don't drink more than is needed from their victims. A vampire burns through their blood when wounded to heal, which accelerates their hunger. Most vampires make regular trips to blood banks to buy blood bags (usually stored at home in their fridge) so that they don't have to feed on people. Some vampires will feed on animals, though it's generally considered "low class" among vampire society. When a vampire feeds, their fangs produce a toxin that numbs the area and gives the victim a slight euphoric sensation. Vampire saliva quickly heals the punctures from their fangs, though there will be small scars left behind from a feeding that heal in about a week. Vampires don't need regular food and drink, however can eat and drink normally, and many do so simply to enjoy the taste of food. Some vampires like to cook, just to enjoy the taste of the food, even if they don't need it for nutrition. Others do so to feel more human. Vampires will often eat while around non-vampires. to keep up the disguise of being human. To create a new vampire, a vampire must drain a human to near the point of death and then feed them the vampire's blood. A vampire who is turned feels an innate connection to the one who turned them. However they are not compelled to obey their creator.

   POWERS: A vampire is much faster and stronger than a normal human, having about five times the physical strength and speed of a human of their build. They're also incredibly durable, and able to regenerate. To kill a vampire, one must cut off their head or stab them through the heart. Anything else will allow them to regenerate in time. A vampire that's cut in half at the waist will eventually regenerate it's lower half, though this will take weeks, during which time they'd be vulnerable and struggle to feed unless they've stockpiled a good supply of blood. Any parts of a vampire that are cut off will decay within hours, turning to dust. Vampires feel weaker in sunlight, losing most of their strength and speed (reducing them to being about twice as fast and strong as a typical human). They also tend to wear sunglasses during the day as sunlight is hard on their eyes. Because of this weakness most vampires tend to be nocturnal and sleep a lot during the day. Though some choose to live regular 9-5 lives. A vampire effectively stops aging once turned, so someone turned at the age of 25 would appear as a 25 year old even once they've lived for over 500 years. Vampires can live for a thousand years or more. Though such ancient vampires are extremely rare. Many that get to extreme ages become paranoid and seek out isolated places to live in hiding. Other than strength, regeneration and immortality, vampires have no special powers. They cannot turn into bats or hypnotize people, those are Hollywood fiction. Vampires are not weak to silver or garlic or crosses, though holy water will burn them temporarily.

   Vampires are hunted by "vampire hunters". These highly trained specialists are usually armed with weapons specifically designed to aid them in the hunt (stakes, holy water, UV flash grenades, etc...). Vampires hide from hunters as best they can. Though some hunters understand not all vampires are a threat, and once in a while they can be reasoned with.

   Entry settings

   Humans who have the ability to change into animals or animal-human hybrids. The most common of these are werewolves, though there are wererats, wereboars, werebears, weretigers, etc... Wererats are more common in cities, while wereboars, werebears and weretigers are more common in areas near woodlands and jungles. In human form they are generally about twice as strong as a normal human of their build. These are people infected with a genetic disease. Transmission is quite rare, and generally happens when blood or saliva from a therianthrope enters a person's bloodstream. It is also possible, and more common, for it to be hereditary. Not necessarily children, but anyone descended from an infected person may result in full infection themselves. Many therianthropes today may be the first in generations to have the full infection. During a full moon, a therianthrope is forced to take their anthropomorphic form, and often lose themselves in their animal nature, becoming a lot more instinctual and violent. Most will find some way to contain themselves, such as locking themselves in their basement, or in a custom made cage, or shackling themselves to a wall until the full moon ends. Therianthropes will often lead normal lives, indistinguishable from humans, only having to truly hide during full moons. They often work day jobs like most people.

   POWERS: Therianthropes can regenerate, but will still scar. A cut will close up within moments, leaving a scar. If a limb is cut off, they will slowly regrow within an hour, though a scar will be visible where the limb was severed. Silver is highly effective against therianthropes, and will temporarily stop their regeneration. Pure silver touching one will burn them. Therianthropes can be killed by beheading or being stabbed through the heart with something silver, otherwise their heart will regenerate. Therianthropes age at about a third the speed of normal humans, often living to 200-300 years old before dying of old age. Therianthropes can usually change into an animal-human hybrid or "demi-human" form. In this form they appear as an anthropomorphic version of their animal form. So for example a humanoid wolf, with a wolf's head, tail, wolf-like legs with paws instead of feet, clawed hands and a covering of short fur over their entire body. Depending on their animal, their physique will change. Wolves tend to be average height and build, rats and mice tend to be shorter and more thin, bears or tigers are often taller and a lot more muscled. In their anthropomorphic form therianthropes are about five times as strong as they would normally be for their build. Therianthropes can also change into a full animal form, which is indistinguishable from a regular animal of that type, however with human intelligence and the ability to speak. When transforming to an animal, their clothes will often fall away or get torn, so when changing back they're often naked. This means they usually try to be somewhere they can find clothing when changing back to human form (such as at home, or near a clothing store they can steal from).

   Therianthropes are hunted by "beast hunters", who are specially trained to fight such creatures. They are armed with silver weapons, pepper bombs, and other tools to help them in their battles. Most beast hunters only seek to keep therianthropes out of cities, though some more obsessed will hunt them down even in the wilds.

   Vampire Hunters are a group of highly trained specialists, with training beyond the special operations training of most militaries. They usually are a family business, with generations being trained by those before them to hunt vampires. Vampire hunters are a rare sight, usually only appearing where multiple reports of vampires have been made. Most vampires will never encounter one if they live a peaceful life. They fight with tactics and weapons designed to give them an advantage against vampires. They will use stakes, holy water (which burns vampires), UV flash grenades which will temporarily blind and weaken vampires, and other such tools. They often set up traps to hunt their quarry, as even with their training going one on one with a vampire is usually suicide. While most vampire hunters operate as small family legacies, a few have taken advantage of modern society. There are some who run corporations, that they use as a front for, and usually to help fund, their hunting. Vampire hunters vary. Some only seek to hunt down vampires who have proven to be a threat and found to have harmed people. They may be wary with most vampires but leave them alone as long as they're not hurting anyone. Seeing them as victims of a disease. Meanwhile other hunters simply see all vampires as monsters and hunt them down without mercy. Vampire hunters work hard to stay out of the spotlight, and make sure society doesn't learn of their existence, as that could result in them being found out and hunted down by the vampires they themselves hunt.

5. #5Beast Hunters

   Entry settings

   Beast hunters are humans who specialize in hunting therianthropes. They are few and far between. They tend to be individuals, bounty hunters, some with military training, others rugged outdoorsmen applying their skills in new ways. They will fight armed with silver weapons such as swords and knives. Some will make silver bullets, though these are harm to make and not very effective. Buckshot mixed with silver is common, often used in a sawed off shotgun for close combat with therianthropes. As silver temporarily stops regeneration, they will often try to inflict many minor wounds to weaken their prey before finishing them off. Most beast hunters investigate reports of possible therianthropes in cities, and try to drive them out or kill them. Only a few more savage hunters will actually chase them out into the wilds.
