Applying for Different Races

[Clez]

This is going to be a multi-race game but the majority of it will be werewolves as the name of the game might suggest, as well as the masses of werewolf forms available. You are, naturally, allowed to apply for another race but I'd like to keep it somewhat limited so we don't get carried away and then I don't have to come up with boundaries and limits etc for each new race that pops up.

For example: we will not be allowing demons, half-demons, incubus/succubus, dragons, elves, fairies, angels (fallen or otherwise), gargoyles, and pretty much all other therianthropes (werepanthers, weretigers, werebears etc).

Here are the races you are encouraged to apply for:

WEREWOLVES The majority of what I expect to see here in varying packs and occupations. A rather large section all about this universe of werewolves will go up in a separate thread so please refer to that in order to be aware of the limitations etc of the race. VAMPIRES ● These are more or less your standard Hollywood vampire. They cannot walk in sunlight, must feed on human blood to survive, cannot abide holy relics, and can be killed by decapitation or a stake through the heart. No vampire can fly, which also means they cannot summon flocks of bats. ● Vampires are created by being bitten and partially drained and then drinking the blood of the vampire feeding from them. They cannot, under any circumstances, be born so all vampire characters are to be created via being bitten. Vampires are incapable of procreation in their own species and the males, in fact, are completely infertile, and more to the point incapable of physical intimacy due to the state of their undead bodies. ● I will not, under any circumstances, accept Dracula himself as a playable character - he's dead and gone, if he even existed at all. It's up to your character as to whether or not they believe the myth of his existence in the first place but I won't accept him or any of his immediate descendants into the game (by immediate, I mean son or other such Gary Stu-ing). ● Finally, this game will not accept covens as a possibility. Over the last few centuries werewolves have risen to dominance over the supernatural and as such have wiped them out. Vampires are unable to make that much of an impact or build that much power to unite in such large numbers, werewolves simply wouldn't allow it. Over the years vampires have been able to put together small groups but never inside werewolf territory. Such units would be sought out and disbanded, either just forcefully and without bloodshed or by killing the members, especially the leaders of such a company. Such groups, lingering outside of a pack's territory, have been known to keep guards, werewolf slaves usually captured at a young age and subsequently trained. Werewolf packs, upon hearing about or discovering such a thing, will waste no time in finding the source and eradicating the vampires responsible. In some cases the enslaved werewolf is beyond the point of being saved and must be eliminated as well. These vampire groups are not all that uncommon but they know how to fly under the radar, as it were, especially if they expect to survive. HUMANS ● Humans are definitely allowed in the game and are actually a lot of fun to play in supernatural games. They can be any occupation but know this now — I will be quite testy if every human application has the occupation of bounty hunter or assassin. How many of those do you see wandering around? Really? ● You can, if you so wish, introduce a human character for the sole purpose of them being bitten and turned, by either vampire or werewolf. If you intend to do this I do expect you to have cleared it with me and perhaps even the player of a vampire/werewolf who can create such a storyline with you. I've done it myself in other games and it's interesting. I'll definitely allow it but please run it by me first. Everyone knows the limitations of a human so I expect every human-applicant to stick to those physical and mental limitations. ● I will accept humans with limited powers. A pyrokinetic, for example, is something I'm going to be more wary of than say, an empath. Telekinesis and telepathy are welcome but please make sure it's nothing on the X-Men scale. I will allow shape shifters (extremely rare, as in one in a million), but on the condition that this character can only transform themselves into another human; absolutely no animal shifters.

If there are any other questions, feel free to email me and if they're applicable to the entire game, this post will be altered accordingly.
