Introduction

A War is coming, the sides are met, but the pieces have not moved. Not yet. Someone needs to tip the fragile scales. The End of a Hopeless Peace will soon begin, the only questions is..... Who will start the war. Will it be a simple slip, or a intention for open genocide.

This Story will take primarily in The New York City Region for the First Act, but will move on as the story progresses.

There are Factions or Groups, official or unofficial that reside in this hidden world.

Nightveil (A Human Headhunting and Bounty-hunting Organization, It is prejudice to all other Races other than human) - A privately owned organization that is dedicated to the destruction of all vampires. It is rumored the owner, Nihl, is a wealthy Vampire himself, and that he wants to be the last one left, to live into eternity as the only immortal man. The organization has billions at its disposal and hires thugs and hoods who know about the Midnight Wars to do battle for them as their privately trained slayers in their project R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N., the Regiment of Eradicating Vampires, Others, and Lycans Under The Inscriptions of Nihl.
The inscriptions of Nihl are some documents in the Nihl family 'justifying' the killings of vampires and lycans, though why REVOLUTION isn't currently fighting werewolves is yet to be determined.
Motives are unknown to members not on the Board of Executives.

The Vampire Council - An ancient society that handles all matters of Vampire's and any other sub-group. They control several urban areas and Cities. The American Council Station is Located in New York City. The European Council Station is located in Worms, Germany.

The Vampire Council of The New World- A secular group of Head Vampire loosely agreed on a weak alliance that now stands of little value. The Authority of this Council has all but lost comparative to its European Counterpart. The New World is two expansive and free for a Council to met and two few Vampire Lords wish to follow a doctrine. There are only 12 members of the Council far older and weaker than its numbers it represent. It has very little power. Meeting Center in New York City.

The Vampire Council of Worms- The Head of Vampire Representation and a form of Government in which most if not all Vampires Follow and Agree upon. Established after the Black Plague swept the European world. It has established a reasonable Peace with Many Lycan Clans. Meeting Center in Worms, Germany.

Unknown Werewolf Faction- (Otherwise known has the Horde of New York) This group is clearly, Unknown. its only true motive is to feast on Humans and attack Vampire factions, But there is a clear sign of a ringleader. Who manages the attacks and hits. An Idea of A Ringleader is supported by the involvement of the Nightveil Corporation.

Lycan Clans- There are several Clans of Lycan order, based on a Noble Lycan, which is titled Alpha of the Clan. There are several clans spanning across the globe with territories and dens.

The Vatican- The Church has two branches of service, both to help stop anyone who would break this Peace between the Three Races. Once Crusaded against Vampires and Lycans now has taken a more Reactive force. Acting in Peacekeeping and Counterterrorist Units. The Two Branches are split for obvious reasons and their origins are based in ideologues. One of Securing the Peace whatever-way possible, and the other to support understanding and Protection.

The Blood-letters- A Highly Advanced Organization under the Vatican that seeks out and destroys any and all who wish to end the fragile Peace of the Three Races. It is an All Human organization, that works in secrecy. They are publically unkown, but thier orgins are based in the Knights Hospitalers of the Crusades. Thier symbols is a White Cross in a Black Background, with an white outline of the island of Cyprus, in the top left corner.

The Assentians- A Order that is now but only a few thousand members across the globe. This Order is considered to be rare based on their Racial origin. They are a three part mix of The three major Races, Man, Vampire, and Lycan. Their Codes and Honor are deep within their history of service to the Vatican. Once based in the Orgin of The Templar Knights, these order of Peacekeepers and Operatives, work the guise of submerging into their surroundings. They are adaptive and effective for identifing and eliminating all threats to mankind and the Peace of the Three Races.

  • Races
  • Vampires- There is three main Vampires in the World

    The Royal, Ancient or Head Vampire – These Vampires have lived for centuries, knowing most If not all of their limits. They have expert knowledge of necromancy and the dark arts, and are usually high members of society.

    Blood Vampires - These Vampires are younger than their Royal Counterparts, and they were born rather than being bitten. Blood Vampires can have a family power, but it is not as strong as a Royal Vampires’.

    Virgin Vampires- Were once Humans that have now became a Vampires. This a major rule so listen up, if you want to become a Blood Vampire you must be a virgin of the opposite sex of the vamp that bites you. If one condition is not met, then person becomes a ghoul. (This makes it so vamps do not randomly form armies of full-blown vamps, and also give them a fighting advantage against most) They do not have a Family Power.

    Ghouls- The servants of Vampires

    Rules for Vampires -Vampires can only be killed by head shot, heart shot or by holy items, blessed items or holy water.
    Second, normal weapons (one that haven't been blessed) have little to no effect on them. They have a weakness during the daytime, and have trouble crossing water.
    Finale, Vampires are stronger, fast, and have semi mind control. They heal faster than normal humans do, however very few have the ability to teleport or mist, some can go through walls, but not full blown teleporting this is based on family history not every Vampire can do what another Vampire can do.

    There are Four Major Vampire Clans, each with its own power,( if you do not wish to be part of a clan just write it out and if you want to make your own clan with its own power you must ask me GMs first)

    Stellfires: turn into fog
    Drakkens: Change into bats
    Galborans: fade into shadow
    Mortieres: See into the future (This varies from moment to moment and is very vague)



    Rules for Ghouls- Ghouls are zombies that hunger for flesh. They are under complete control of the vampire, and can operate machinery. They must be killed like a vampire... so destruction of head or heart.. or vamp they are controlled by.

  • Lycans- Lycans can reach phases were a human can go from a hairy man, to a full-blown wolf and back again.

    Undeveloped Lycan- These Humans have several characteristics of Werewolf behaviour. They have longer hair and sharper canines, with usually unruly temper. They become slightly taller than most humans are and some can equal strength to Vampires. During the full moon, their bodies change into what Hybrid Werewolf would look like.
    Condition- Bitten by a Hybrid Werewolf not during a full moon.

    Hybrid Werewolf- This is another form of a Lycan in which fur has covered over all the Human, their body has grown to Massive sizes, and they very muscularly built. Reaching to height over 6’7 all the way to 8’0. They are much stronger than Vampires are, but are more like to go into a blind rage. During a full moon, some can change to characteristics of what is to be known as Full Werewolf.
    Condition- Bitten by another Hybrid Werewolf or Undeveloped Lycan during a full moon, or bitten by a Full Werewolf not during a full moon.

    Full Werewolf- On a normal Day this person appears normal, but this is the Werewolf form in which the human, during a full moon reaches the full level of Lycanism. During a full moon, the body becomes 100% Canine, forcing to walk on all fours. A full Werewolf appears a larger, more muscular wolf, with a shoulder height reaching to 5’0 feet, 8’6 long on average depending on age and sex.
    Condition- bitten by a Noble Lycan not during full moon or a Full Werewolf during a full moon.

    Noble Lycans- These Lycans are the zenith of their race, the strongest and the Fastest these are the lifeline to all other Lycan off breeds. Nobles have the ability to change there form to any stage, (From Undeveloped to Full) even to a normal Human appearance. However, during the full moon their true appearance can be seen. During a full moon, unlike a Full Werewolf who is forced to walk on all fours, A noble Lycan can walk on it’s hinge feet. When walking erect a noble Lycan during a full moon have been known to reach 9’0 feet, the size of a small giant.
    Condition- Must be bitten during a full moon by another Noble Lycan to become one. Usually considered a great honour, rather than a curse. It is said, “That you were truly loved if a Noble makes you one of his own, for a Noble only attacks to kill.”

    Birth conditions- Werewolf can have children, usually more rapidly than Vampires, some Mothers have been known to cut down their paternal stage to 7 months rather than just 9.

    The stage of which a Werewolf baby is given is still not completely understood. Once thought to be based on genetics, but some cases have proven false. Were pair of Undeveloped Werewolf gives birth to a noble without any relation to a noble ancestor. As well as the counter, when two noble Lycans gave birth to a normal human child. However these event are usually a rarity.

    The most common setup can be based on a system.
    NL+NL=NL
    FL+FL=FL or NL
    HL+HL=HL, FL or in very rare cases NL
    UDL+UDL= UDL or HL
    HM+UDL=HM or UDL
    HM+HL=HM, UDL or HL
    HM+FL= UDL, HL or FL
    HM+NL=HL or FL
    UDL+HL=UDL, HL or FL
    UDL+FL= UDL, HL, or FL
    UDL+NL= UDL, HL, FL or in very rare cases NL
    HL+FL=HL, FL or NL
    FL+NL= FL or NL


    Rules for any Lycan-

    1. Bites don't always mean new lycan, but they can if that is what the person intended.
    2. Lycans are stonger than Vampires, just as fast, more common to be stealthy, and have a better regenerating factor.
    3. Normal weapons don't do quite as much, but still hurt like hell in cases. Silver is deadly.
    4. Lycans are very irrational in half to full form werewolf mode during full moon, thus they don't really have the strategic abilities of Vampires.


    Hybrid Races- It is shown above what happens when a Human and Werewolf have a kid, so down below shows the other off-breeds and mixed races.

    HM= Human
    HV= Ancient, Royal Head Vampire
    BV=Blood Vampires
    VV= Virgin Vampire
    NL= Nobel Lycan
    FL= Full Lycan
    HL= Hybrid Lycan
    UDL= Underdeveloped Lycan

    HV+HV=BV
    BV+BV=BV
    BV+HV=BV
    VV+HV=BV
    VV+BV=BV
    VV+VV=BV
    (This is just to clear everything up)

    HM+HV= ¾V to ½V
    HM+BV= ½V to 1/3V
    HM+VV=1/3V to 1/4V

    VV+UDL= HM, ¼V, ¼ L or (1/4V and ¼ L), in rare cases their can be (1/2V and ½ L),
    BV+ UDL= ½ V, ¼ L , (1/2 V and 1/4L), (1/2 and ½ L) in rare cases their can be VBs
    HV+ UDL= ¾ V, (1/4V to 1/3 V and ¼ L) , (1/4V to 1/2V and ½ L) in rare cases their can be VBs
    BV and VV+HL and FL= 1/2 V, 1/2L, (3/4V to 1/4V and 1/4L), (3/4L to 1/4L and ¼ V) (1/2V and ½ L)
    HV+NL= (I don’t even want to go there man! Let’s just say that baby would destroy the world)

    Three-way-Hybrid and Assientians= summary 1/3 HM, 1/3L and 1/3 V (Assientians have own page to explain more if interested (link to page under construction, pm for info))


    All right Start putting your names out there and If you got any questions Pm me, or just post in OCC.



    In truth the line between ally and enemy is blurred, their are no one group of Vampires or Lycans fighting against each other, but it fact private faction are growing that are merging the two races, and taking this world by their own means.






    The Catholic Clergy- This group is currently in a time of peace, not looking for trouble. This faction will only act if the human race is clearly in danger. Base of Operation, Rome.


    The Assientians- An arm of the Catholic Church. Thier role is to protect the Human race from another "fall". This can be seen in avoiding another Black Plague. The Black Plague was a Cover-up story to protect any Werewolf or Vampire did not wish to be attacked by their Ancestors' war. The Black Plague was actually a Massive Race War Between Lycans, Vampires, Humans and several other races. This war killed off over Half of Europe's population. To avoid another war, the records of this war were hidden, and the Vampires and Lycans who wanted peace either hid or went under the Assientians’ Protection. An Organization, which previously protected Vampires and Werewolves from persecution.

    Intermingling
    Over many years intermingling and procreating, a new race has been formed. A mix of Werewolves, Vampire and Human grew and developed. Named after their organization, this new race became to be known as the Assientians. This group is now used by the Catholic Clergy as an Counter-Terrorist and Recon unit, to help keep the veil over the eyes of the humans, and the general peace between races.
