DISTRICTS✚┇d i s t r i c t

PYRE✚┇p y r e

PYRE'S ARE HUMANS THAT HAVE ONE SUPERNATURAL ABILITY. THE ABILITIES VARY FROM RARE TO COMMON. EACH ABILITY RELATES TO THEIR DISTRICT. EACH PYRE CAN IMPRINT WITH A HUMAN. IT HURTS THEM DEARLY IF THE IMPRINT BREAKS. PYRES ATTRACT DEMONS AND SUCH THEREFORE THEY GO TO SCHOOL IN AN ISOLATED PLACE.

IMPRINT✚┇i m p r i n t

A MARRIAGE CEREMONY THAT WAS ABUSED AND NOW IS RARELY USED. THE INCREASE OF CHEATING SPOUSES AND TEENS THAT WANT TO EXPERIMENT ARE THE REASON. ONCE YOU IMPRINT YOU CAN READ THE OTHERS THOUGHT AND FEEL WHAT THEY FEEL. IF THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE GUT, SO DO YOU. ONCE YOU GET AN IMPRINT YOU GET A TATTOO SOMEWHERE ON YOUR BODY. IT WILL BE IDENTICAL TO YOUR PARTNERS. THERE IS A 50% CHANCE YOU WILL DIE IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE BREAKING OF AN IMPRINT.

EFFECTS OF THE IMPRINT

- - ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER
- - WILL GET JEALOUS IF SOMEONE ELSE IS NEAR YOUR IMPRINT
- - WILL GET SICK IF YOUR AWAY FROM YOUR IMPRINT OR CHEAT
- - PYRES WILL START TO LOSE ABILITY IF THEY RESIST IMPRINT
- - TATTOOS WILL DEVELOP THE LONGER THE IMPRINT REMAINS
- - HURTS VERY BADLY IF IMPRINTS ARE BROKEN -- SO NO SLEEPING AROUND!

DEMONS✚┇d e m o n s

DEMONS ARE BEASTS, MUTATED BEASTS THAT OCCASIONALLY GO ON RAMPAGES. THEY NEED TO FEED SO THEY GO FIR THE HUMANS BUT IF A PYRE IS AT SIGHT THEY WILL GO FOR THE PYRE INSTEAD. A BETTER MEAL. PYRES HAD TO DEFEND THE DISTRICT AGAINST THE DEMONS AND FOR THEIR OWN LIVES. IF A DEMON FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT ATTACKS A DIFFERENT DISTRICT, THEN THE NUMBER OF OF PYRES THAT WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE WILL BE HIGHER. DEMONS GAIN EXTRA STRENGTH IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.
