Everyone should know and completely understand their character. If you are not comfortable in your characters skin you will not be able to accurately portray said character. In order for us all to understand what our characters are, I’ve made a check list for each of the character types we have on site.
~ Humans ~
Eat, Sleep, drink and so on. Anything that we do in our RL (Real Life) daily. Humans do not drink blood. Not all humans are nice and ‘normal’; we do have murderers, sociopaths, mental patients, cult followers, any number of things that would make a person “Dark”. There are people who work all the time, stay at home moms, soccer moms, and anything in between. If this is the case for your character you MUST note that in your bio on Twitter with [RP MC 18+]. You could also note #DarkSL in your bio. And if you say Dark, please mean dark. |
~ Hybrids ~
(Human/Vamp) or (Human/Shifter) They can eat, drink and act human. They (may) also drink blood. Some may actually hunt and kill, feed like their bloodline does.... but can also drink bagged blood. They would take on the actions of their dominant side. Human/Vampire hybrid ~ mother is a human, father is a vampire. Human/Shifter ~ one parent is human, one parent has the Shifter gene. (Typically the mother is the human.) |
~ Dhampirs ~
(Human/Original Vampire Hybrid) They can eat, drink, sleep and seem human. They (will) also have to drink blood; their bodies need it. Same as with other hybrids EXCEPT, Dhampirs have the strength of the Original Vampires and are much quicker than other vampire/human counterparts. They simply have more human characteristics than that of their bloodlines. Human/Vampire hybrid ~ mother is a human, father is a vampire. (same rules apply to being bitten by an original vampire with the above stipulations.) |
~ Original Vampires ~
Original vampires are the true leaders of the vampire line. They reign over the mass of vampires, original and the new world vampires as well. Secretly of course. Original vampires are callous and will not tolerate misdeeds or inability to follow their orders. In order for an Original to make a human (a Vampire like them) they must bite them and then said human would have to drink their blood. A few drops in their mouth. (There is NO exception to that rule here, that is how our originals are.) Original vampires mostly come out at night. They hide away during the daytime though they CAN come out in the sun, but it weakens them. No they do not explode or catch on fire. The sun will quickly drain them of their energy, thus leaving them vulnerable for attack if they are in it too long. |
~ New World Vampires ~
(Twilight based) They sparkle in direct sunlight as a 'punishment' for your founding father. (see the family tree page for that explanation) Most drink either human (fresh or bagged) blood; depending on your 'diet'. Vegetarian vampires drink animal blood. They do NOT have retractable fangs nor do you fly. They have quick reflexes, super speed and strength. Please note that unless you, as a new world vampire actually MEETS with an original, face to face, you DO NOT KNOW THEY EXIST!! |
~ Lycans ~
(True Werewolves & Children of the Moon) They are 2 different entities... As with the shifters, a lycan or child of the moon does the same as their human or animal does depending on their presence at the time and their kind of Lycan; as in eat, drink, sleep. They also require some blood to feed the animal inside them. True lycans (Werewolves) are able to shift at will. A true lycan is one that is born of a lycan or is a direct lycan, which means they were changed by an original. There lineage can go back many centuries or just a few years. A bitten werewolf and a true werewolf's child (if the female was able to carry the child) would be a true lycan. A child of the moon (werewolf), is a lycan that has been bitten by a true lycan; they will change to its animal form ONLY on a full moon. (3 nights out of a month usually. There is a calendar in the group located on site that shows the moon cycle for each month). Their change is more painful than that of an originals. |
~ Shifters ~
A Shapeshifter is a person with the ability to change the shape and structure of their bodies into anything else they want. They can change themselves into an animal. Some shapeshifters choose to only change themselves into one other being and perfect that change while others like to change into many different things. (Any animal shifter) In their human form they can eat, sleep, drink and phase/shift to their animal form at will. They do not drink blood but they do hunt and can kill and eat that way. La Push & Makah Tribes - Their chosen ones are able to shift (phase), at will, from human to the animal form of a WOLF. It is deep rooted into their legends and as a chosen birthright . There are MANY forms of shifters, not all shifters take the same form, or the same animal. Please be specific when choosing your animal. Know the characteristics of that animal, their hunting habits and how they react to others. You are NOT true werewolves just because you take wolf form. Shifters are a part of the "Were" family. |
