Introduction
Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, where she was attacked by a vampire... And then rescued by another. Now 10 years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, has grown up and become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her childhood crush, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend whose hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear leaves him determined never to trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. And the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death...
Vampires
Vampires are the supernatural creatures of the Vampire Knight universe. As in traditional folklore, they are sensitive to the sun and are active during the night; however, in reality, sunlight only hurts their eyes and does not actually cause them any damage.
When killed, vampires will turn into sand, though Purebloods are an exception in that when they die, they shatter into shards of glass instead. The most effective way to kill any vampire is to cut off their head or stab their heart using an anti-vampire weapon. Blood tablets had been developed to take the place of actual blood feeding, despite having a bad taste. Vampires also have a bloodlust that can only be quenched by the blood of their beloved.
Vampires have existed for well over 10,000 years, first appearing when mankind's civilizations began to crumble. At one point, they waged a war against humans, during which Purebloods began turning humans into vampires. When the number of vampires began to increase, a monarchy was established to rule the vampire race, with the Kurans as the royal family.
However, two generations ago in current times, the former king and head of the Kuran family (Rido, Haruka and Juri's father) abolished the monarchy in order to avoid authoritarianism. The Senate was then established to govern the vampire realm, with high-ranking vampires aristocrats in the seats. Despite their demoted status, however, the Kurans still hold the title as the highest standing family, and it is well known there are many vampires families who would support Kaname Kuran if he should chose to take back the kingship
Classes
Purebloods
Level A Vampires. The heritage of these vampires hasn't been diluted by human blood. They are the strongest type of vampire and have the most significant powers, and can destroy any lower vampire with ease. However, despite the fact Purebloods are very powerful, they make up for it due making up only a very small portion of the vampire population. The Senate holds Purebloods in extremely high regard, to the point where it is taboo to kill or even harm a Pureblood. As a result, they are treated like royalty. The powers of Purebloods are dangerous to both their fellow vampires and humans. Purebloods have the ability to compel lesser vampires to do their bidding. In recent chapters, Kaname Kuran demonstrated why Purebloods are feared and respected by single-handedly killing the members of the Vampire Council. If a human is bitten by a Pureblood, that human will turn into a vampire. The Pureblood and ex-human in question have become bonded as Master and Servant. The master is able to completely control their servant, while the servant becomes incapable of ever killing their master, even if they wish to. When Purebloods die, their bodies slowly disperse into small sparkles (as shown by Shizuka Hio's death in the anime) and then shatter like glass.
Aristocrats
Also known as level B vampires, they are elite vampires with specialized abilities beyond normal vampires. These are also very powerful vampires, but not as much so as Purebloods, due to having a small amount of human blood in their ancestry. They have super strength and speed, as well as specialized powers such as mind control or freezing matter. When an aristocrat is killed, they turn to dust like all other vampires except for Purebloods. These aristocratic vampires are still able to be compelled by Purebloods, but enjoy a much more independent lifestyle in general. The Council of Elders is usually made up from their ranks.
Commons
Level C vampires. These are average vampires with no significant powers. Level C vampires are not usually seen in the anime but have several different appearances throughout the manga. They only have super speed and they heal faster than a normal human.
Ex Humans
Ex-human vampires, also known as level D and level E, are the lowest form of vampires, humans who have been turned into vampires by being bitten by a Pureblood vampire. The E in Level E represents the word 'end' because after falling to level E, it's usually the end of their life after losing control. If they don't want to die, they'll have to drink the blood of the Pureblood that bit them. The consequence is that the Pureblood would have complete control over the person and that person would truly become a vampire
Humans
Human is the term for the group of characters who are normal, mortal homo-sapiens that appear in Vampire Knight.
Humans have long been the regular food for vampires. Pure humans are subject to becoming Level E if bitten by a Pureblood Vampire. But if they have any vampire relative among their ancestors, the bite won't affect them because they already have vampire blood running their veins. Hence, they will remain in human form for all other effects.
Against the menace the vampires represented towards humans, they started the Vampire Hunters Association. This group develop a long rivalry between humans and vampires, which Kaien Cross pretends to end with the foundation of Cross Academy. Most humans, however, are totally unaware of the existence of vampires and those that do find out often have their memories erased.
Hunters
Hunters are born as gifted humans, who posses the power to destroy vampires. Their powers are passed down through their family generations.
It is believed that the original vampire hunters ate a vampire to gain their powers. It is revealed that their power was bestowed upon them after the Hooded Woman gave them a high dosage of her blood to near poisoning levels. Those that survived became vampire hunters. She then threw her heart into the fire creating the first vampire weapons. Following his discovery of her actions, Kaname charged them to the last man to kill all the vampires who believed themselves unkillable.
This has also created a curse on vampire hunters. They can never have twins because the twins will consume each other in the womb and will be stillborn. In rare cases, the stronger twin will consume the other in the womb and be born as a very strong vampire hunter. Twin birth is extremely rare, and while one twin will be very strong, the other will generally be sickly and weak, and will serve little use as a hunter. For the pair to become powerful hunters, the stronger one has to devour the other and become one. The vampire hunter twins are known as 'The Cursed Twins'. The only known hunter twins, in the anime and manga, are Zero and Ichiru Kiryu.
Vampire Hunters have the power to sense vampires, have slightly accelerated healing, and can even perform some magical spells. Vampire hunters are able to wield and use anti-vampire weapons. These qualities make a hunter much stronger than that of the average human. Some vampire hunters are known to live past the expected age of an average human due to the amount of vampire blood in their veins. An example of this is Kaien Cross.
Vampire hunters generally have an antagonistic attitude toward vampires, generally due to the danger posed by them and the damage they have done. Many hunters express the opinion that vampires enjoy killing too much, thus the reason why they don't think vampires should police their own.
Vampire hunters see it as their duty to kill rogue and dangerous vampires and consider themselves a type of policing force for them and do not appreciate vampires interfering. Recently some hunters have started to see vampire hunting as more of a sport under the rule of the former president.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
"Come out Rose, don't be shy. This is a another human family we are friends with. So you don't need to be scared" said Juri Kuran as she looked at the wall Rose was hiding behind. She stepped out cautiously and saw another girl with two parents. Juri looked at Haru, "Rose's parents were killed so we adopted her, she is human so she is still quite nervous around vampires" Juri said and Rose hid behind her. "It's alright" said Juri, Rose stepped out and bowed slightly. "H-How do you do" she said managed to say quitely. She looked at the family the girl looked older than her and her parents were quite tall. They looked like they loved her very much. Rose missed her whole family...
"Yes, you and your parents came to visit the Kuran house one time. But I don't remember seeing and Aunt there." she said finally letting go of Haru and rubbing some tear away.
The setting changes from Main Academy Ground to Vampire knight universe
As the girl started to first talk with the other, annoying girl and then yelled for her to get out, Kaito sighed again and took a step back, letting Erin go. This melodrama bored him to death... not literally, of course. But he liked to express it that way... Somehow talking about death amused him. Perhaps because he really did wish to die... though he wasn't entirely sure that actually was the case. "Yes, it is..." he muttered to himself before cringing as Zero placed his hand on his shoulder. Kaito's expression went first dead, them blank, then confused.
When he turned around to look at Zero, not even as much as a hint of recognition showed on his features. Kati was indeed genuinely confused, almost as though he did not remember anything happen prior to this. Therefor, he did not struggle as he level D started dragging him towards he office. He simply went with him, cringing in pain now and then but remaining silent. His chest heaved with exhaustion, something caused by bit the situation and blood loss... even if he didn't understand it. "W-where... am I?" he finally asked, his voice barely more than a quiet rasp.

Re: Vampire knight world
How old is the youngest character in Cross academy supposed to be? I mean, between what ages do the students range? ^_^
Re: Vampire knight world
Re: Vampire knight world
@Gladis, Erin and Haru had a chat, with Kaito still with them. Kaito, Erin, and Haru sat down and talked, and Erin leaned over to help Haru. Haru then ran off, and Sasori came out and took Kaito from her as she had called for help, and Kaito went inside. I think that's it.
Re: Vampire knight world
May I create a human female?
Also! If approved, would there be any interest from anyone romance-wise for a vampire male/human female pairing, then?
