This is the auto-generated OOC topic for the roleplay "Attempted Renewal"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Need to Know

-Important People-

Hector and Cassandra Celticanos – These two were the first to attempt to regain peace between the two factions and were the former rulers of the magic faction. This was before they were murdered by an assassin, when their only daughter Keria was still fairly young. Many assume that their assassination was because it was not yet accepted the thought of trying to reform old bonds.

Desmond Celticanos – Hectors brother and Keria’s uncle, who is the current ruler of the mage lands. There weren’t many vampires that knew of his existence save for a few older vampires, that was until he took his brother’s place and became Keria’s guardian being as she was too young to be able to take over.

Theo Silanus – The current and long standing ruler of the non-mages. He's the oldest vampire currently living since the death of mage leaders Hector and Cassandra, to which fingers were quickly pointed to him, causing another short war between the two factions. Even though his age grants him some extra power, he can be matched by others, but it is his experiences over the millenniums that made him the leader and dangerous foe he is now. Unlike Desmond, his actions are more well-known.

Doven Veracruz – Doven is an infamous vampire amongst both vampire factions. He was a mage vampire of high nobility that was well known and even fought in the first civil war against non-mages, so it came as shock when he decided to wed a non-mage over a decade ago. Needless to say, many vampires were outraged by his decision and he found himself only supported Celticanos, up until their assassination that is. However, one day his fiance disappeared. Over time, it became more speculated that she had died rather than just vanished. Eventually Doven himself left his home and began traveling; only rarely coming back due to his disinterest in getting involved in the dispute.

-Common Knowledge-

The Wars – There have been two wars that had broken out since the rise of the two factions. Once when the two split, of which reasons were unknown, and the second was after the assassination of Hector and Cassandra. The reason for the second was it was believed that non-mage radicals had them assassinated for their attempt to try to rekindle old bonds.

Werewolves and their standing – Werewolves in the old days were the protectors and guard dogs of the vampires, and a clan would commonly pledge loyalty to a specific family. Today, you are more likely to find wolves for hire then a clan itself, despite them being pack animals. Generally they will pledge loyalty to whoever can pay for their services. However a few of the older families like the, Celticanos still have a clan to back them.

The Council – The Council was formed after the first war, to try to serve as a common ground between the two. They are made up of the two heads of the royal factions, and several other vampires. Currently there is a 3:1 ratio on the mage to non-mage. Generally, this gives the mage a bigger advantage within the laws of the lands.

Mages VS Non- Mages – Even though the council has a 3:1 ratio, in actuality there are a greater number of non-mages to mages in existence. Some say that the mages have a harder time giving birth to their children, however that is only speculation and not really based off and sort of study or merit. So for what the non-mage lacks in raw power they make up with in number. Another thing to keep in mind is that just because non-mages aren’t able to use magic doesn’t mean they don’t have natural born abilities. Generally, it’s only one or two, but in no way is that the same as being able to use magic. Two mage parents will give birth to a mage, two non-mage parents will give birth to a non-mage. A mage and a non- mage parent, dependent on the mother, will either give birth to a non-mage or a mage.

Vampires (as a whole) – The difference between the factions is already laid out, but there is many different interpretations on vampires themselves.
1. Vampires, unless you are a mutated Ash Vampire, are unable to walk in the sunlight.
2. Ash Vampires are extremely rare, unless it is passed down from an old family line. This is actually a natural mutation in their blood. However, after a few generations this ability is no longer passed on. One of the only other ways to become an ash vampire is to sleep with and transfer blood to another vampire. Those who are Ash vampires try to not make it known, because they have been hunted to try to gain this ability.
3. Vampires are not invulnerable; they can die though it would take much more to kill them. Forced into direct sunlight, having their heart ripped out, or having their brain severed from their body or destroyed.
4. There are two types of vampires Pureblood Vampires and Non-Pureblood Vampires. The difference one was born to two Pureblood Parents, the other has some human in their blood. Either they were created or had a human in their lineage. Currently, there are few Pureblood Families around.
