We all bleed red in the end...

(... except for vampires of course, 'cause everyone knows that vampires don't bleed...)

tl;dr Plot Races Rules Roles

• 
  The newer generation of supernaturals wants to expose themselves to humans and think they will be able to rule the world then. However supernaturals are only 10% of the worlds population, so it will most likely end badly for all parties involved.
  
  The Interracial Council of Supernatural (aka our characters) will have to prevent this disaster from happening. But before they can come to a solution, there might be some problems and prejudices that have to be over won.
  
• ~ Plot ~
  
  Yes, supernaturals have been on earth for as long there have humans, and perhaps even longer. But that is not the problem in this rp. Even though most humans are unaware that not everyone around them is human, the world had been more or less peaceful. The supernatural know how to hide and how to live, without breaking the most important rule of all, exposure. But as I already hitted, there is a problem now...
  
  New, young, idealistic supernatural think it is a good idea to expose themselves and all other supernatural with them. They are tired of living in the shadows, while they have such great powers. They should be above humans, instead of covering from them. Their powers should not be something they need to keep as a secret, no, they should be able to freely wield and go. However this (growing) group of activists forgets one thing... Supernatural are only (or not even) 10% of the worlds population. Plus humans don't like change that much, just ask the witches (even though the burnings were not really the fault of humans)
  
  10% is hardly enough to change the world, to change ideas that have been in the humans mind for so long. If this group will truly start a global exposure of supernaturals, there shall be war. No supernatural shall be save anymore, they will no longer live in the fear of keeping their powers secret, but live in fear of what humans would to with their powers. Use them as weapons, or simply just kill them. It is uncertain how humans will react, but it won't be very welcoming.
  
  Luckily there is the Interracial Council of Supernaturals. The Council is formed after the witch burns, when the supernatural decided something like that should never happen again, something like that should be avoided. The Council has at least one member of each supernatural race and together they make sure that all supernaturals keep in line. If a supernatural breaks the rules of the Council, the Councilmember of the supernaturals race, will warn him. If that doesn't work, they will be called to justice in front of the Council and the Council together will decide on the faith of the supernatural.
  
  However for years the Council had not been necessary to step up as a Council. Each Member perfectly executing their job among their own race. Yet with this global threat... The Council has to do something and thus the Council is called back together. Membership has been passed on from parent to child, so the current members are quite new and unaccustome... How will they handle this threat? More importantly... how will they treat each other?

  ( Disclaimer; Yes, this is very much based of the Otherworld-series from Kelley Armstrong. However knowledge of the series is not required. If you do know the series, you are awesome and you absolutely deserve a cookie. The links in the description are only for extra background information, you do not necessarily need to know it )
  
  

  Half Demons

  
  For as long as humans exists, demons have been taking human form to seduce or rape humans, which results in Half Demons. Though the children are all human in appearance they will inherit some (or all) of their parents powers. The powers mostly manifest themselves between the age of 12 and 20. The Half Demons will not pass their powers onto their own children.
  
  Fire Half Demons are able to produce fire via physical contact. Their powers can also be emotional activated.
  * Igneus (Can cause first degree burns, may be able to produce sparks)
  * Aduro (Can cause second degree burns, can ignite flammable material)
  * Exustio (Can cause third degree burns, can incinerate object)
  
  Tempestras Half Demons are able to control wind, rain or (if well developed) lightning from existing conditions.
  
  Gelos Half Demons are able to produce ice via physical contact.
  
  Telekinetic Half Demons are able to displace/move objects without contact. Power decreases when they lose concentration or are influenced by strong emotions.
  * Migro (Range; within sight, they can only small objects and over small distances)
  * Agito (Range; within sight, they can move nothing larger then themselves and only over a 10 feet radius)
  *Volo (Range; they have to be able to mentally picture the object and it can be no further than 50 yards away, they can move pretty much anything that is not attached, they can displace it over 20 feet depending on the size and weight)
  
  Teleportation Half Demons are able to displace or move themself instananeously.
  * Tripudio (Can only move within sight, horizontal only, 12 inches radius)
  * Evanidus (Anywhere within movement radius, horizontal only, 10 feet radius)
  * Abeo (Anywhere within movement radius, horizontal and vertical, 50 feet radius)
  
  Vision Half Demons are able to enhance visual abilities.
  * Acies (can enhance their visual range)
  * Conspicio (can induce temporary blindless)
  * Aspicio (can see through solid objects, and enhance their range as well as induce temporary blindness)
  
  Ferratus Half Demons are able to make their skin impenetrable.
  
  Expisco Half Demons are able to detect 'chaos'. They can have visions of past events or hear/see the thoughts of other when they plan chaotic things. Chaos (fear, sadness, pain, anger) is like a drug to them.
  

  Necromancers

  
  Necromancers are able to summon spirits of the dead and raise corpses. However, necromancers don't always summon spirits. A spirit can identify a necromancer by their "glow". A necromancer's glow indicates their power, so the brighter the glow, the more powerful the necromancer and vice versa. Most necromancers use rituals and concoctions to summon and dismiss spirits and raise the dead.
  
  [/i]Zombies[/i] are literally ghost being forced back in their bodies. It is seen something unethical to do among Necromancers. Zombies can and will only obey one Necromancer at the same time and will do his bidding until his body has decayed completely or his spirit is released. Though they are not the smartest creatures out there, they are nasty. Their scratches and bites can spread the 'Infection of Death' among living creatures. Smaller animals will go rabid and agressive and can this way transfer the infection as well. The infection will stop as soon as the Zombies stops to exist.
  

  Sorcerers

  
  Sorcerers are a male magical race. Sorcerers give their magic from father to son, daughters are mostly not born to a Sorcerer. At the age 10-12, sorcerers show their first signs of magic possesion and are able to learn and develop their magic throughout their whole life. Sorcerers can cast their spells through hand movements, the effect of their magic depends on their concentration and ability. Sorcerer Magic is quite offensive. Their spells mostly are meant to attack and can cause destruction. Sorcerers can also learn Witch Magic, but most refuse to do so as it is seen as inferior and weak.
  
  Traditionally, rivalry exists between sorcerers and witches, each accusing the other of betraying them to the Spanish Inquisition. The rivalry between the two races has seperated witches and sorcerers for centuries. The fact that witches and sorcerers recognize each other's races when eye meets eye does little to help that situation.
  

  Vampires

  
  Vampires are the only race that is not born, they are Turned. This happens when a Vampire injects a human with their poison and thus spreads the Vampire Gene. Once a human is Turned, their heart will stop beating yet they will continue living. Young vampires mostly have trouble feeding on humans, both for the mental/ethical barrier and because they have little control over their urges. Vampires can also use their poison to merely sedate humans. A vampire only needs to kill once a year (before their Turn day) as they need to fully drain a human to continue living. Other than that they can feed regularly little bits of blood.
  
  Except for their poison, vampires have also enhanced senses and quick reflexes. They are nearly indestructable as they will instantly heal from wounds. However there are ways to kill a vampire, namely decapitation or fully burning their heart. The sun will only make their skin blister and fall apart, but they can heal from that, as long as their heart is not fully burned. This is also the reason most vampires stay away from the sun, since it is not a pleasant experience.
  
  Even though vampires could live forever, most Vampires give up their lives around 250 -300 years. They lose their touch with the world around them, do not care enough to keep up with the chances of time or simply grow bored of their life. A 'dying' vampire will disconnect from the world and spend more and more time sleeping, just so the day of their annual kill will come quicker.
  

  Werewolves

  
  For some males, becoming a werewolf is a birthright; a genetic gift (or curse) passed from father to son, the first change. For everyone else, a bite is required, and that bite is usually deadly. Very few humans survive, because when most werewolves attack, they attack to kill. Then there's the ordeal of surviving the transformation itself, both physically and mentally.
  
  The werewolves are divided into two distinct groups: Pack werewolves and non-Pack, commonly referred to as "mutts." It's thought that while mutts are not organized in any way - and are usually loners - most actively avoid drawing the Pack's attention.
  
  As humans they mostly are quite muscular, they have a better hearing and smell and also heal quicker then humans. They are stronger, faster and have a better endurance. Thanks to their wolf side they are also equipped with nightvision. The only downside is that they need to eat a lot more than humans to keep their energy up.
  
  The Change mostly starts when a werewolf hits puberity, unless a werewolf is bitten then the progress will happen within a week. Changing from human to wolf is a very painful progress as ones body has to completely reorganize itself. Mostly Changing takes about 15 minutes, until a werewolf is ready to go. As a wolf, they can progress human languages, but they will only be able to communicate through body language themselves. The color of their fur is determined by the color of their hair as a human and their eyes will stay the same color. Werewolves are usually a bit bigger than normal wolves. Changing back to human takes about as much time and is equally painful. Once the progress of a Change has started, the werewolf will be most vulnerable, because he is completely unaware of his surroundings and unable to stop the Change, once started. Werewolves will need to change at least once a month, but it is prefered to do so once or twice a week to get rid of pent up energy, agression and frustration.
  
  The Pack mostly follows the hierarchy system of wolves. It has an Alpha that lead the Pack and is responsible to keep the Pack safe. His enforcer and protector is the Beta, who comes right behind him. The Pack further has no real rankings. Pack Wolves are highly uncomfortable with going against their Alphas order, which may even show physically if they do go against his decision. So far there are three Packs with each their own territory and rules. The first one is the American Pack (located mostly in New York), then there is the European Pack (located mostly in Russia) and the Australian Pack.
  
  The Mutts are wolves that don't belong to a pack. They are mostly travelers and in general not the good kind of people. Some mutts live in peace, yet most of them can't seem to keep their hands of humans. They rape them and kill them, until the Pack finds them and ends the mutt's life.
  

  Witches

  
  Witches are a female magical race. Sorcerers give their magic from mother to daughter, sons are mostly not born to a Witch. At the age 10-12, Witches show their first signs of magic possesion and are able to learn and develop their magic throughout their whole life. Witches can cast their spells through incarnations, the effect of their magic depends on their concentration and ability. Witch Magic is quite defensive. Their spells mostly are meant to defend and heal. Witches can also learn Sorcerer Magic, but most refuse to do so as it is seen as violent and evil.
  
  Traditionally, rivalry exists between sorcerers and witches, each accusing the other of betraying them to the Spanish Inquisition. The rivalry between the two races has seperated witches and sorcerers for centuries. The fact that witches and sorcerers recognize each other's races when eye meets eye does little to help that situation.

@DarkiusHeavenstein
I have a question. Might have been answered already... but you know I am forgetful XD.

But do Sorcerers have a branch of magic that they are stronger in? Like the elements, summons, conjurations, spirits, auras? etc.
Same with Necromancers. Can they do more than just create zombies. Maybe have voodoo dolls? Or something like that?

If you don't mind, you will get your answers in the OoC thread (hopefully) I am setting it up right now :P

@ObsidianNyx @Iwazuma @Mad King Jai @rechonq @Shayla @daird

I have set up the thread
https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/threads/we-all-bleed-red-in-the-end.155585/

I hope all questions are answered there... If not you can continue asking here or there, whatever you like. The CS template is on, so you can upload your characters. I will upload mine tomorrow

@Iwazuma I remember you had a question I have not answered yet. Your character may have heard about the council through some people or rumors and be curious to check it out. Since he is a new/unknown race the current members will have to break their head over the question if he get a membership like them, or whether they will just hear him and make him stay as a guest. Who knows XD
