The follow list and descriptions will clarify the kinds of characters you want to play. Please read all descriptions thoroughly so you can choose effectively. Now have fun and follow all the rules! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the admins or mods, we're all nice people and almost never bite people's head's off!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Humans: The powerless sheep of the masses, these are regular normal humans. They possess no unique abilities or powers, and have shown an inability to channel magic for whatever reason. Though aware of the problems with their world, most normal people are power less to stop it. A few brave souls step up to defend what they believe in, using complex weapons and unique gadgets to fill in the gaps their own abilities are lacking. Though, in many cases, regular humans can be trained into becoming priests, demon hunters, and in rare cases, mages.

Vampires: The immortal undead, Vampires are unholy blood-drinkers cursed to walk the Earth until slain by a hunter. They can regenerate wounds by drinking blood, and possess physical abilities that surpass humans. However, Vampires are not truly immortal. They must feed upon fresh blood nightly, are repulsed by holy symbols and garlic, and may not tread upon holy ground, nor come into contact with holy water. A stake through the heart is enough to slay a vampire, but hunters should be wary--in some cases the body returns to life if the stake is ever removed and the corpse given fresh blood. The only sure way to slay a vampire is to stake it through the heart, and then remove the head. Both should be destroyed through submersion in Holy Water, or sun light. A victim bitten by a vampire and completely drained of blood rises as a Ghoul, a mindless undead slave of the vampire who slew him. Vampires can also turn a victim into a vampire by draining all of their blood and then feeding the dying person their vampiric blood.

Hell demons: Unlike youkai demons, hell demons look as if they were beaten with ‘The Ugly Stick’. Usually small and annoying, but pretty powerful. Hell demons can also be big and nasty withthe deep growling and stinky breath, but they’re not as common as the little ones that hide in corners, waiting for the moment to strike. The bigger demons are less tacticle, usually coming from the shadows and wreaking havoc left and right with no real destination. If you play this character, do not be suprised if you die quickly.

Youkai Demons: Youkai have two origins; the original and most powerful Youkai come from the plane of the dead, and are the natives of that nightmarish realm. Monsters beyond reproach, these Youkai demons are the "highest tier" in the Youkai demon underworld. The more common type of Youkai actually began "life" as an aimless spirit, and over time gained dark power as it grew to hate and loathe the living. Each Youkai is different, but whether true "Bakemono" Youkai or "Oni" Youkai, one thing is universal: a Youkai demon possesses two physical forms, the Man Form and the Beast Form. These vary largely from Youkai demon to Youkai demon, and no two are exactly alike. Youkai demons tend to favor elemental powers and abilities, governing the elements of Life, Spirit, Fire, Earth, Water, Thunder, Light, and Darkness.

Werewolves: The eternal foe of the vampire clans, the tribes of the werewolves are a proud warrior culture. Werewolves possess three forms: Man, Beast, and Animal. The Beast form is a strange transformation to witness, as the werewolf becomes a monster of nightmare, a half-man, half-wolf abomination. Even in Man form, 'wolves typically possess more physical abilities than the average human. In Beast form, 'wolves are unstoppable whirlwinds of destruction with incredible strength, amazing stamina, and inhuman agility. Werewolves heal at twice the rate of humans, and can even regrow lost limbs over time. The only sure-fire way to slay a werewolf is to shoot it with a silver bullet in the heart. Other silver weapons are also known to be effective against werewolves, including silver swords, axes, staves, and arrows. 'wolves gain their power from the phases of the moon, and on the night of a full moon Werewolves are exceptionally powerful. A hunter facing a werewolf in Beast form during a full moon is either exceptionally good...or a lunatic.

Celestials: This type of character is a real angel. Though, they are all from the lowest level of angel, they are Guardian Angels. These celestials can be seen and is a guardian to everyone around instead of one person. They may choose to follow someone around and be their guardian. Unless it is said in thier history that they lost them somehow, all of these celestials have wings, though, they can be hidden. As a celestial, you are not invincible, you can be hurt and you do have limits. Like priests, celestials use prayers instead of spells.

Half-breeds: A half-breed in this world is usually a creature that is a half human and half something else, like vampire, youkai, celestial, or werewolf. A human and a hell demon can not have a child. There have been records of half-breeds that are not human at all, but it's rare. These half-breeds are usually not accepted by either side of their heritage. (Half-breeds are rare, so I don't want to see 2 or 3 of every kind of creature, and then 20 half-breeds.)

Types:

Mages: Warlocks, cultists, wizards, and sorcerors. Though they possess many different names, they all mean the same thing. These are individuals who are able of manipulating reality using arcane forces, the untold masses who wield the power of Magic. Every discipline of spell casting is different than the next. Some require rituals, some require spoken commands, some require simply force of will. No two schools of magic are the same. Examples of magic include elemental attack spells, demon binding rituals, and the ability to enchant monster-slaying weapons.

Demon Hunters: These people hunt demons, that’s obvious. Usually men, out to get money or a thrill. As a demon hunter, you’re a mercinary, meaning people can hire you. Your strength is in weaponry, not spell casting. Oh yeah, also, this is the 21st century, don't wear crazy midevil armor.

Priests: Usually travelers, come to see the old ruins of the once beautiful Cathedrale Gothique. Like healers, priests are not accustomed to weapons, though, some make carry stakes and pieces of silver (crosses and such). Sometimes, though, it’s quite rare, some may see a priest carrying a gun. Do remember, these priests can be catholic, jewish, budist, shinto, etc. Some asian priests carry staffs and other long objects used for some styles of fighting. Instead of using spells, prayers work in the same way.

Angel: Now, these are not angels as in “from heaven”, these are the city healers. They are called angels because they come in the wake of demon attacks and heal those who are injured. They are usually women, but sometimes people will say they saw a man healing someone. They are not very good with weapons, sometimes having a fear of things that bring pain. They have a better time with healing spells, but sometimes, even spells aren’t needed. Just a lot of concentration.

Traveler: Every now and then, someone from a different city will end up in Dark Side City. They usually don't stay long, due to demon attacks, but if they are traveling demon hunters or something, they'll stay for a while to help. A traveler can be any kind of person, like musician, monk, priest, and maybe even a traveling angel.
