✦ Humans ✦




✦ Overview
Humans span the world, and believe that they dominate. They share an uneasy treaty with the vampires, as well as the half breeds. Many humans are divided in either being for or against the treaties. There is immense tension between the two, as many find Vampires and Feeders as unholy and not meant to exist.

✦ Appearance
Humans look well...humanly. Two arms, two legs, a head and a body....nothing to outstanding.

✦ Abilities
None other than typical human abilities.

✦ Strengths and Weaknesses
Varries with the human.

✦ Extra
They may look quite unimpressive, but even humans can be surprising at times.

✦ Vampires ✦




✦ Overview
It is believed that vampires originally arose during mideval times, but the full story is shrouded in mystery. Within London, they seem to have thrived however, setting up their own laws and society to protect their people and to survive. They used to be encased in a constant battle with humans, needing their blood to bring out their full potential, but they faced being slaughtered as well. To create a sense of peace, they agreed to sign the peace treaty with the humans. Some liked it, while others hated it, and the children known as Feeders who came out of it.

✦ Appearance
Vampires look like humans, but can have a bit more natural muscle mass than humans. At the same time, their metabolism is naturally higher as well, so they tend to be more slender or fit in nature. They also tend to be a bit paler in coloring, and have a natural beauty about them.

✦ Abilities
~ Enhanced Senses: Their senses are more animalistic in nature. They are able to see, hear, smell and even taste better than humans or feeders.

~ Enhanced Speed: Vampires are able to move at a quicker pace than humans or Feeders. Their natural speed allows them to keep up with most animals .

~ Enhanced Strength: Vampires are stronger than both humans and Feeders as well. Their strength could be compared to being able to knock an oncoming cart out of the way, or shatter bone with ease.

~ Enhanced Durability/Stamina: They are able to handle more physically and go for longer than both humans and Feeders. They could be hit with a bat and come out with little more than to brush off some splinters.

~ Enhanced Healing: It takes more to kill a vampire than a human or a Feeder. Their bodies are able to regenerate at a quicker speed than either. It is not instant, but a wound that would take a week for a human to heal from, might be gone in a day with a vampire.

✦ Strengths and Weaknesses
~ Blood Consumption: Vampires feeding on blood could be both a strengh and weakness. They are able to survive on animal blood, or a series of blood substitutes in the form of powders, pills, etc. It is human blood however, that is able to fully satisfy their hunger, as well as bring out the true strength of their abilities. After feeding on human blood, their speed surpasses that which the human eye can pick up on. Their strength increases greatly as well . Their Durability and stamina is more like fighting a brick wall for humans, and their healing nears almost instant. They become the perfect hunters. But if they are unable to have blood or blood substitutes at all, the hunger grows, and can cause immense pain or cause someone to go insane. Vampires need to feed at least twice a day on animal blood or substitutes, while only once on human blood.

~ Sunlight: Exposure to light is a weakness. Being in the sun will not instantly kill them, but it will burn them more easily than humans or Feeders. In short bursts, it just heats up their bodies at a quicker pace, but prolongued exposure could literally begin to burn their skin and turn it black. Exposure to their eyes can burn as well, leaving them potentially blind for various amounts of time, depending on how long they have been exposed. When they have been consuming human blood however, the speed at which sunlight harms them speeds up, so they tend to just avoid it altogether.

~ Entrance: Vampires can not enter one's home or private residence without being welcomed in. If it is a public place, they are able to enter with no problem at all, and it is free game. But more personal residence are more sacred, and often need to be wealcomed into. Though being welcomed in by someone under their influence, is also acceptable.

~ Endorphens: Vampires are able to release endorphens into the body and bloodstream of those they are feeding on at that moment. It dulls the senses and is more compaired to a drug in the sense that it gives the one recieving it a "high", and becomes practically plesant to be fed upon. When they are introduced into the system, it takes awhile for them to be driven out. Such as in a few minutes to hours, depending on how much is in their system. In this manner, they are easily more influenced by the vampire, to the point where many refer to it as beeing "hypnotized" by the vampire. They can choose not to use it as well, and allow victims to feel the full pain of having their blood pulled from their bodies.

~ Venom: Vampires contain a venom inside them. They do not just bite someone, and they suddenly become a vampire, or this would cause a problem with over population. A vampire can choose when to inject their victims with this venom, which will begin attacking normal human cells and turning them. It is an excrutiating change, and causes a human to become so ill to the point they might believe they are dying for the course of twenty four hours, before their body is fully converted. For Feeders, since they are already half vampire, the venom only needs about half a day to work. As long as the person is alive, venom can work. But if they are to close to dying, it may kill them, or if they are already dead, it is useless.

~ Pain: A vampire who has not fed on blood, can still feel pain, even though they heal faster and can not be killed so easily. When drinking human blood, it seems to numb their pain influence, to where they are able to fight more and undergo more, without pain forcing them to quit.

✦ Feeders ✦




✦ Overview
Feeders arose as a result of the treaty. They are the result of a human and vampire having a child. Often, it can result in the mother being greatly exhausted during birth, a few dying as a result. Feeders have been the source of much hatred and abuse from both sides for generations. They are disliked by both humans and vampires, because of what they are, since many do not approve of the treaty. Many feeders themselves support either the treaty or the vampires. Some wish to be full vampires, while others wish they were fully human. It depends on the individual.

✦ Appearance
Feeders look like humans, but like vampires, they can can have a bit more natural muscle mass than humans, or tend to be more slender or fit in nature. They are more beautiful in nature, but they have an easier time blending in with humans, and have more color to their skin.

✦ Abilities
~ Enhanced Senses: Their senses are more animalistic in nature like their vampire counterparts. They are able to see, hear, smell and even taste better than humans, but not as strong as full vampires.

~ Enhanced Speed: Feeders are able to move at a quicker pace than humans, though not as fast as full vampires. They can outrun a human with ease, but find it harder to keep up with a vampire who has not drank blood, and impossible to one who has.

~ Enhanced Strength: Feeders are stronger than humans, but weaker than full vampires. They are able to easily overpower a normal human, and even hold their own against a vampire who has not drank blood. But with one who has, they are overpowered.

~ Enhanced Durability/Stamina: They are able to handle more physically and go for longer than both humans and Feeders. They could run the mile quickly and easily without breaking a sweat, but even they have their limits, especially against vampires.

~ Enhanced Healing: It takes more to kill a feeder than a human, but less than a vampire. Their bodies are able to regenerate at a quicker speed than human. It is not instant, but a wound that would take a week for a human to heal from, might be gone in half the time with a feeder
.
✦ Strengths and Weaknesses
~ Blood Consumption: Feeders feeding on blood is more of a strengh then weakness. They are able to survive on animal blood, or a series of blood substitutes in the form of powders, pills, etc like vampires, and human food easily. It is human blood however, that is able to fully bring out the true strength of their abilities. After feeding on human blood, their abilities close in on those of a vampire who has not fed on human blood. They become the second perfect hunters. But if they are unable to have blood or blood substitutes at all, it does not effect them like it does vampires. Vampires need to feed at least twice a day on animal blood or substitutes, while only once on human blood. Feeders only need to feed on substitutes once every other day, and human blood can sustain them for three days.

~ Sunlight: due to their human side, they are able to easily withstand the effects of sunlight, whereas vampires would be harmed. This is a plus for them.

~ Entrance: Feeders are able to enter without being asked or invited, weather it be from public to private places. This is another plus of theirs.

~ Endorphens: Feeders do not have the ability of endorphens, so unfortunately those they feed on, feel the pure pain of having their blood pulled from their bodies, where Vampires can decide to do this or not. It can be seen as a weakness for them.

~ Venom: Like the endorphens, Feeders do not have the venom of a vampire. This means, they are unable to create vampires or other feeders. They are able to become full vampires from a vampire's venom however, like a human can.

~ Pain: Weather they have fed or not, Feeders are still able to feel the effects of pain within their bodies.
