❒ species

species
below are all currently accepted species along with an explanation of how they work in this world. more may be added over time.
 
Humans
Most humans have SOME trace of energy from Creation or its descendants. Most are not aware of this as they do not have any powers or special abilities. However, the trace they do have is enough to allow them to see through the glamour of Lunaria and see the beings for who they are.
 
Mutants & Enhanced
Mutants are a selection of humans with a gene that has given them superhuman abilities and/or powers from birth. Enhanced are humans who were given their powers and/or abilities through outside means at some point in time. This can be an accident or experimentation and can be caused by science or magic. If you choose a Marvel/DC superhero/villain-based character, they will fall under one of these two categories.
 
Demigods
Traditionally classified as offspring of gods/goddesses and humans. Full demigods are now considered rare as most have grown old and passed on. The few that remain are some staff or regular Lunarians. Most demigods now are 1/4 god/goddess or less.
 
Vampire & Dhampir
There are only two ways to become a vampire in this world. One is by a witch/warlock performing fatally strong dark magic to turn someone. The other is by drinking vampire blood and then dying with it in your system. You'll come back to life after a few hours and drink human blood to complete the process. Dhampirs are half vampires half-humans who are born. They cannot be made. Their vampire parent must have been created through magic, not death. All vampires/dhampirs are weak to the plant known as vervain, which can protect the user from any powers with the mind, it's also toxic to a vampire if consumed. injuries inflicted with wood take longer to heal. Sun does not affect vampires within the boundary of Lunaria.
 
Witch & Warlock
Warlock refers to any gender that has gained their power of magic through a pact of some sort with a higher being, usually with a demon but can also be a deity or angel. As such, they can lose their power. Witch refers to those that are born with and/or gained their knowledge of magic through learning and practice. They cannot lose their power but can have it sealed away. Any of these may use a wand or staff to help channel their magic and/or keep grimiores.
 
Demons & Cambion
Demons are beings created from Chaos taking a physical form and mating with the Lilith race. They have spread across the world and cultures over time and are one of the few species that can travel freely between dimensions. They can also possess living beings both human and animal. They can also put their energy into objects but not possess them. Their blood is extremely potent and valuable as it can be used for magic and rituals, both evil and protective. Most demons have a neutral alignment but some can be evil. Cambion is half-demon half-human offspring. Not to be confused with Yokai/Hanyo.
 
Nephilim & Seraphim
offspring of angels and humans. Most go through a process of ascension as early as 13, no later than 18. The power of the Nephilim has diluted over the centuries except for the Elite families of which there were originally 6, but after the assassination of the Kingston family with Aurora its sole survivor, only 5 remain. Seraphim are ascended Nephilim that have proven useful to the gods and granted the power to possess a physical body to protect the Nephilim and humans. They are stronger than Nephilim in every way but significantly weaker than Angels whom no one has seen in centuries.
 
Yokai & Hanyo
Japanese demons usually taking the form of an animal. More powerful elite Yokai, may also look or take on a more human appearance. Daiyokai is the most powerful of the Yokai and due to most having disdain for humans, they have chosen to live in another dimension, though some occasionally will mate with lesser yokai. While rare, it is not impossible or unheard of for a Yokai or Daiyokai to have children with humans or other species. These offspring will be referred to as Hanyo or Hybrids if not human. All Hanyo have a night of vulnerability in which they are completely human. The specific details of that night vary from Hanyo to Hanyo even within the same species. Currently accepted Yokai include: Kappa, Inugami, Kitsune, and Tanuki. Yokai fangs are often used to make various blades and weapons to reinforce them.
 
Hybrids
a mix of two or more species but no more than four. They can be born or made and will have both the strengths and weaknesses of the species they are made of.
 
Werewolves
All werewolves are born. Only those with the gene somewhere in their family (even if it's not their parents) can turn. Most turn for the first time at the age of 16. They usually form packs of family but may also venture out and form packs of friends.
 
Harpies
Half-human half-bird beings that have been infected with Chaos. They are instinctively malevolent, though many have gone to great lengths to subdue this.
 
Dragons & Bàn lóng
Four-legged serpentine creatures with above-average intellect and breathe fire. Some may have horns and wings. Most tend to hoard and light eyes, usually golden. All dragons have a human form but may choose to remain in one form or the other. Bàn lóng is half-dragon half-humans. They are always in a human form but may have varying degrees of dragon abilities or powers like horns, wings, talons, light eyes, etc.
 
Fae
An umbrella uni term for mythical beings often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural. Currently accepted Fae are Nymphs, Satyrs, Elves, Dryads, Selkies, Pixies, Djinns, and Banshees.
