MORTALS: N/A VAMPIRES: PALE, IN LESS A SENSE ONE MAY DESCRIBE AS FAIR AND MORE SICKLY THAN ANYTHING. THEIR TEETH ARE VERY SHARP AND HARD ALLTOGETHER, AND ITS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THEM TO HAVE MULTIPLE CANINES. ALL OF THEIR TEETH ARE SUBTLY SERRATED. THEIR IRISES RANGE FROM MAROON TO A VIBRANT CRIMSON, INVARIABLY SOME SORT OF RED, HOWEVER THESE CAN BE OVERLOOKED EASILY AND ARE MOST VISIBLE WHILE THEY ARE FEEDING. MAY ALSO RETAIN TRACES OF THEIR ORIGINAL EYE COLOR, HOWEVER SMALL THEY MAY BE IN COMPARISON TO THE RED. LYCANS: BESIDES HIRSUTENESS, INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM HUMANS WHEN NOT TRANSFORMED. WHEN TRANSFORMED, MOST OFTEN THEY APPEAR AS A TYPICAL WOLF. ON THE NIGHT OF A FULL MOON HOWEVER, THEIR SIZE AND APPEARANCE AS A WOLF ARE ALTERED BY THEIR ANGER AND EMOTIONS, ESSENTIALLY APPEARING AS BIG AND STRONG AS THEY'D LIKE. IN THESE EVENTS NO UPPER LIMIT FOR SIZE HAS BEEN DETERMINED, ALBEIT THE LARGEST RECORDED LYCANTHROPE TO DATE WAS ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A DOUBLE DECKER BUS. WHEN TRANSFORMING, THEY MAY GLOW WITH A WHITE-BLUE LIGHT WHILE THEIR FORM SHIFTS FROM HUMAN TO WOLF. THIS MAY ONLY HAPPEN IN MOONLIGHT HOWEVER, OR NOT AT ALL. NOT YET DETERMINED. LYCANS MAY RARELY GROW TAILS NEARING FULL MOON, THESE ARE TYPICALLY SHORT AND FURLESS AND JUST DISTURBING RATHER THAN CUTE. WITCHES: POSSESS POINTED EARS. PRESENCE OF MAGIC CAN GIVE AWAY; TYPICALLY APPEARING AS A EFFERVESCENT PLASMA-LIKE ENERGY FOCUSED IN THE HANDS OR WHEREVER IT IS BEING CHANNELED, IT CAN ALSO APPEAR TO BE A SIMPLE GLOW EMANATING FROM RUINS OR MAGICAL OBJECTS. ANGELS: CAN PROJECT WINGS* FROM ENOCHIAN SYMBOL ON BACK, WINGS INITIALLY MADE OF HARD LIGHT BEFORE SOLIDYFING INTO A FORM INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM AVIAN WINGS. LIGHT WILL, AT TIMES, APPEAR TO BEND TO FORM A HALO OF SORTS AROUND THEIR HEAD, HOWEVER FAINT IT MAY BE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WINGS ARE RETRACTED. DEMONS: POSSESS BLACK BLOOD AND ORGANS, OTHER BODILY FLUIDS BLACKEN ALSO. ALTHOUGH DEMONS ARE INCORPOREAL CREATURES THIS IS A VERY PHYSICAL WAY THEIR PRESENCD AFFECTS HOSTS BODIES. HUNTERS: MORE OR LESS HUMAN, ALTHOUGH MORE ATHLETIC ON AVERAGE. HUNTERS ARE KNOWN PRINCIPALLY FOR THEIR RELIANCE ON DEVICES KNOWN (FOR NOW) AS WHINERS*, USUALLY SMALL, ORANGE MARBLE LIKE OBJECTS INLAID IN SILVER/GOLD/COPPER/OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL THAT CAN NULLIFY A MYRIAD OF SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES AND IN GENERAL MESS W THE SUPERNATURAL (TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE HUNTER'S HEALTH). WHETHER IT BE THROUGH BRACELETS, NECKLACES, EARRINGS, PIERCINGS, CUFFLINKS, OR JUST SMALL WEAPONS ON THEIR PERSON, HUNTERS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A DEVICE ON THEM IF THEY CAN HELP IT. BESIDES THIS, ALL SORTS OF WEAPONS EXIST THAT EMPLOY DISRUPTOR TECH, AND GENERALLY A HUNTER WILL OWN AT LEAST ONE SIGNATURE WEAPON ACTUALLY MEANT TO KILL (OFTEN ASSIGNED TO THEM AT BIRTH), BUT GIVEN THAT THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS WEAPONS THEY ARE OFTEN NOT JUST CARRIED AROUND IN PUBLIC AND CAN'T BE DEPENDED ON TO IDENTIFY THEM.
*ANGEL WING AMOUNT VARIES AND CAN DENOTE RANK. ANGELS WITH HIGHER RANK POSSIBLY CAN REMOVE OR PROMOTE ANGELS OF LOWER RANK TO ANY RANK BELOW THEIR OWN. **WHINERS: TEMPORARY NAME FOR DEVICES COMMONLY DEPLOYED BY HUNTERS. DERIVED FROM A NATURALLY OCCURING ALBEIT RARE SUBSTANCE COVETED BY HUNTERS (USUALLY FOUND IN LARGE, CLOSELY GUARDED DEPOSITS), BROTHERHOODS WILL PAY OUT THE NOSE TO GET THIS RELATIVELY NEWLY DISCOVERED ELEMENT, AS WILL MANY SUPERNATURAL CREATURES PAY TO PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING IT. APPEARING IN THE FORM OF A GLASSY PALE-TO-VIBRANT VERY CONDUCTIVE ORANGE MINERAL THAT IS BOTH EXTREMELY HARD TO WORK AND YET PRONE TO BREAKING WHEN SMALL, THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THE ANOMALOUS EFFECTS THEY PRODUCE WHEN AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT IS RUN THROUGH THEM. FREQUENTLY MADE INTO SMALL DEVICES DUE TO THEIR RARITY (CALLED WHINERS, POSSIBLY) AND IMPLANTED INTO HUNTER WEAPONS, WHEN ACTIVATED VIA ELECTRICAL CURRENT THEY PRODUCE A STILL UNKNOWN FORM OF RADIATION - ACCOMPANIED WITH A SIGNATURE LOW WHINE THAT IS UNBEARABLE TO CREATURES WITH SUPERIOR SENSES LIKE LYCANS OR VAMPIRES - THAT PRODUCE EFFECTS EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN BATTLING SUPERNATURALS. SUCH EFFECTS MAY BE; CAUSING EXTREME PAIN IN ANY AND ALL SUPERNATURAL CREATURES, SPONTAENOUSLY CAUSING SUPERNATURAL VITALS TO FALTER OR EVEN CEASE (EXTREMELY RARELY), CAUSING PAIN TO SENSES, BURNING VAMPIRES IN WAYS SIMILAR TO SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE, FORCING LYCANS BACK INTO HUMAN FORM, CAUSING ANGEL WINGS TO DISSIPATE OR FALTER SUDDENLY, AND EVEN EJECTING DEMONS FROM THEIR HOSTS. IT ALSO INHIBITS SUPERNATURAL REGENERATIVE FACTORS. THEY ALSO CAN CREATE A TEMPORARY BUBBLE THAT DETERS MAGIC, OR DISRUPTS IT COMPLETELY. WHILE ONE MIGHT EXPECT HUNTERS TO USE THIS EFFECT IN EXCESS, IT HAS DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON EVEN HUNTERS. FREQUENT EXPOSURE TO WHINER RADIATION CAN CAUSE: FRACTURING/BRITTLENESS OF BONES, MASSIVE HEMORHAGE, ORGAN FAILURE, NAUSEA, DESTRUCTION OF BRAIN CELLS, BRITTLENESS OF HAIR AND NAILS, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, INCREASED PRONENESS TO HEART ATTACKS, WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEMS, ALONG WITH A WIDE MYRIAD OF OTHER DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS INCLUDING INVARIABLY SHORTENING USERS LIVES. WHEN EMPLOYED IN HUNTER TECH, WHINER DEVICES WILL TYPICALLY LOOK LIKE ORANGE MARBLES INLAID BY BORDERS OF SILVER OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE METALS. TYPICALLY SMALL, WHEN LARGER OR GIVEN MORE POWERFUL ELECTRIC CURRENTS THEY PRODUCE A GREATER EFFECT (INDICATED BY LOUDER WHINING), AT THE COST OF HEALTH PROBLEMS BEING EVEN WORSE. WHINERS GENERALY CAN BE BOTH TRACKED AND REMOTELY DETONATED BY THE HEADS OF HUNTER BROTHERHOODS. WEARING AT LEAST ONE WHINER (ALTERNATE NAMES: DISRUPTOR/JAMMER) AT ALL TIMES IS LIKELY MANDATORY FOR HUNTERS.
ABILITIES IDEAS: ANGELS: REBIRTH: UPON BEING KILLED, ANGELS WILL RESURRECT, OFTEN TIMES IMMEDIATELY. SOMETIMES A PAUSE IS TAKEN, ESPECIALLY IF THE ANGEL WILLS IT. UPON RESURRECTING, USUALLY IN A FLASH OF LIGHT (AN INDESCRIBABLE IMMATERIAL BEING OF LIGHT BEING THEIR TRUE FORM), THEY WILL HAVE MUCH KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR PAST LIFE AND WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE TO LIVE OUT A HUMAN LIFE SPAN AND WOLL DO SO MANY TIMES. TRUE FORM: THEIR TRUE FORM IS AN ABSTRACT AND INCOMPREHENSIBLY GLORIOIS OF LIGHT AND UNPARALLELED RADIANCE. GAZING UPON AN ANGEL'S TRUE FORM WILL DESTROY MOST CREATURES. IT, HOWEVER, ALSO WILL DESTROY THE ANGELS CURRENT FORM AND FORCE THEM TO START THEIR PHYSICAL LIFE OVER AGAIN. PRAYER: PROVIDES BUFFS TO SPEED AND STRENGTH. ALSO GETS BUFFS BASED ON VIRTUE - IE. DILIGIENCE = ENDURANCE BUFF, CHARITY = LUCK BUFF, CHASTITY = DEFENSE, ETC. BUFFS CAN BE DONE FOR OTHERS. HEALING: BY TOUCHING SOMEONE DIRECTLY OR CLOSE AT LEAST, AN ANGEL CAN VERY QUICKLY HEAL SOMEONE. THIS POWER CAN, BY EXTENT, EVEN PERFORM EXORCISMS, WITH ENOUGH EFFORT. THEY MUST USE THIS PROCESS FOR THEMSELVES HOWEVER RATHERVTHAN REGENERATE AUTOMATICALLY. NIGH-INDESTRUCTIBLE: HAVE A SKIN TIGHT "SHIELD" THAT MAKES HARMING THEM EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. PUNCHING AN ANGEL WOULD PROBABLY RESULT IN ONE BREAKING THEIR HAND. THEY CAN BE KILLED WITH EXTREME FORCE. WINGS: MANIFESTING FROM ENOCHIAN SYMBOLS ON THEIR BACK AS CLUMSY LIGHT SHAPES BEFORE SOLIDIFYING INTO AVIAN-ESQUE WINGS OF GLORIOUS WHITE AND GOLD, THEY ARE NOT FRAGILE BY ANY MEANS. UNLIKE THEIR ALREADY FORMIDABLE BODIES, THESE WINGS ARE TRULY INVINCIBLE, UNABLE TO BE HARMED, BOTH RAZOR SHARP AND ABLE TO DEFLECT BULLETS IF NEED BE. THEY ALSO ENABLE THE FOLLOWING: FLIGHT: ANGELS ARE OF COURSE ABLE TO FLY, AND THEIR WINGS BEING LITERALLY WEIGHTLESS CAN ASSIST GREATLY. THEY ARE ABLE TO FLY TO PLACES SO FAST SOME MISTAKE IT FOR TELEPORTATION. WHILE MOST ANGELS ARE STRAINED BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER EVEN, FTL TRAVEL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL BEFORE. HOLY FIRE: A WHITE-GOLD MAGNESIUM FIRE LIKE FIRE THAT BURNS VAMPIRES AND CAN BURN NEARLY ANYTHING ELSE AS WELL. IT IS EXTREMELY CAUSTIC AND HOT, AND ABLE TO BE CREATED AND MANIPULATED BY ANGELS.
DEMONS: STYGIAN WATER: CHANGING PROPERTIES DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE DEMON IS A DEATH, PLAGUE, FAMINE, OR WAR DEMON, IT IS THE NAME FOR THE PITCH-LIKE BLACK LIQUID THAT BECOMES THE DEMONICALLY POSSESSED'S BLOOD AND OTHER BODILY FLUIDS. THEY ARE ALSO ABLE TO VOMIT IT IN EXCESS. AN OMNIPOISON, IT IS ABLE TO POTENTIALLY KILL ANY CREATURE THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS IN THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OR IS INGESTED BY NON-DEMONS. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE UNABLE TO MANIPULATE IT WITH QUITE THE DEXTERITY OF ANGELS, THEY CAN MOVE IT ALONG THE GROUND AND ALONG FLAT SURFACES. IT IS QUITE SLOW BUT THE EFFECTS CAN BE DEVASTATING.
------------- Idea for angels: -Never are technically not in their "true form", their humanoid form is simply what human minds can understand with ease and thus they're seen as humanoid. Paying attention to them too long - which is tempting, given even as "humans" they're noted for their ethereal and otherworldly glow - begins to reveal the proverbial "cracks" in their visage, and the revelation of what they are, what they truly are, has equally inspired humans to completely change their lives and claw out their eyes as their feeble minds fail to completely grasp the reality of what they are and seeks reprieve from the knowledge that they will not be able to understand such beauty and perfection.
