Dark Hunters:  Warriors, mortals who had been betrayed to their deaths who with their last breaths called out to the goddess Sarang and sold their souls to her for an act of vengeance. They are soldiers in her army directly under command of their general Jaejoong and their main purpose is to fight the Daimons although to do generally try to safeguard humanity as best as they can. Being that they fight the Daimons, they are also similarly cursed and unable be in the light. Dark hunters work alone. The bad guys can fight in groups but your powers cancel each other out. "A slight flaw in an otherwise brilliant plan." When you find your soulmate you can get your soul back but be warned if the person isn’t strong enough or dedicated enough to you and lets go of your soul that’s it for you. “That means you become a shade. Very bad things.” Severe head trauma that leads to squished brains/crushed skull = Shadedom. Beheading also = Shadedom.

Were Hunters: The beginning

Lycaon, King of Arcadia, had a beautiful wife and two sons. Not knowing his wife was of the Apollite people (cursed by Apollo), he watched helplessly as she died horribly at the age of twenty-seven. Realizing his sons would meet the same fate, he attempted to circumvent the curse. Gathering as many Apollites as he could find, he began using arcane magic to change the people, trying to find a way to fool the gods.

He began splicing the essence of the Apollites with that of predatory animals, creating the first Were-Hunters. His experiments succeeded in circumventing the curse. Instead of living only twenty-seven years, they now lived for close to a thousand. Choosing the most powerful of the animals on which he had experimented, King Lycaon blended his sons with a dragon and a wolf.

For defying the will of a god, the Fates demanded that Lycaon kill his sons as punishment. When he refused, the Fates cursed the new race saying, "They will spend eternity hating and fighting until the day when the last of them breathes no more."

Whenever Lycaon blended an Apollite with an animal, he ended up with two new separate beings: one with an animal's heart and one with a human's. Thus the Katagaria and the Arcadians came to be.

Katagaria

The Katagaria are the animal-hearted Weres. Born as an animal, they can only become human at puberty when their magical powers are "unlocked." The Katagaria are very mistrustful of the Arcadians, because they believe humans are often deceptive. Katagaria follow the law of kill or be killed, preferring to attack when they feel threatened as opposed to waiting to be attacked themselves. The Katagaria only kill to defend themselves, their pack, or their territory.

The Katagarian Strati are a sort of soldier that seek out Rogue Arcadians, but will not engage an enemy unprovoked. On the other hand, there are some Katagaria who are unable to reign in the hedonistic impulses of their animal soul and succumb to maddness. These Katagaria are referred to as Slayers.

It is a common Katagarian tradition to mount their first kill on the wall of their home. It is also polite to refer to the Katagaria by their animal selves, though referring to them by the term Were is extremely insulting.

Arcadians

The Arcadians are the human-hearted Weres, born as humans and can only become animals and harness their magical powers at puberty. The Arcadians feel that the Katagaria need to be closely monitored and controlled as to prevent them from being emotionless animals capable of killing without reason.

Arcadian soldiers, Sentinals, usually travel in groups of four, and make it their main duty to track and kill Slayers. Only a few Sentinals are born to each patria and they are chosen by the Fates. Sentinals can be recognized by a geometric design covering one side of their face. The design is a birthmark that appears at maturity, though most prefer to use their powers to hide them.

Patria(Animal Clan): Dragon, hawk, falcon, eagle, cheetah, lion, wolf, snow leopard, panther, leopard, tiger, jackal, jaguar, and bear.

Demi-Gods: The offspring of a god and a human. Powers vary based on god-parents abilites and must be admin approved. Apollo cannot be a god-parent because all of his children are cursed to die.
