MEMBER GROUPS
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]there are eight different member groups here. please read the descriptions carefully before deciding where your character belongs. because there is a war going on between good and evil with the supernatural world, there will be good and evil in all member groups, but there can also be neutral supes, making them a potential target in both worlds for recruitment or death.
[/style]HUMANS & HUNTERS
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]while they are both a human category there will be some slight differences as well as likeness. both of these groups consist of humans who have no supernatural abilities. they do not possess any sixth sense or extraordinary superhuman ability. they simply are, humans.
humans - most are completely oblivious to the supernatural world around them. that doesn't mean that some do not, because they do, but even when that is the case, it's not likely they are going to start calling the tabloid to talk about it. they can be for or against supernatural beings or even neutral, but most likely they are not part of the fight (though there are special instances where they are).
hunters - these humans come from a long line of other hunters. their families will date back generations and their purpose in life is to rid the world of all supernatural beings, whether they are good or evil. they possess skills that would pertain to that, hunting, fighting, etc. they are neither good nor evil, they are neutral in the way that they hate all supernaturals.

META-HUMANS
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]meta-humans are still humans, however they were born with a supernatural ability. they appear like all other humans and go about their public lives as if they are just that. like with all other supernatural beings, meta-humans can be both good, evil or neutral.
please make sure to see the ability claim to see what is available. also, meta-humans cannot shift into full animal forms, that would make them a shifter and while a shifter is a form of meta-human, we are separating them into two categories.

SHIFTERS & WERES
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]shifters and werewolves are supernatural beings that can be both born or created by a bite from another being. they do have some of the same traits, but they do have differences.
shifters - they can be born a shifter from two shifting parents, but they can be made by the bite from another shifter. what they shift into depends on what type of 'animal' created them, so if bitten by a panther, you will become a panther. in the case of two parents, it's a matter of fate and you can become either what your mother shifts into or your fathers, but not both and not a hybrid version of the two combined.
weres - they can be born from two were parents but they can be made by the bite from another were. all weres are werewolves. in the case of where one parent is a were and one is of another species (whether supernatural or human) it is a matter of fate, so their child can be a were, supe or human, but not a hybrid.
the similarities - both species are born in human form and lives their daily lives as such. they can shift at will and can easily become out of control if they do not get a hold of their emotions because shifting is fueled by just that.
the differences - weres are only wolves whereas shifters can be any animal. though they both can shift at will, weres will shift on the full moon, something they cannot control.

universal superhuman abilities
- can shift at will (though weres shift on a full moon)
- shifting is emotionally charged, though not necessary
- superhuman speed and strength
- heightened human senses (touch, taste, vision, smell, sound)
- ability to sense others of their kind
- heal at a rapid pace
- because of the ability to heal, they can live to be quite old, almost immortal in a sense
GUARDIANS
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]guardians, both light and dark, are comparable to healers, though they can also be referred to as angels and demons. light guardians are there for the 'good' supernatural beings and dark guardians are there for the 'evil' supernatural beings. all guardians are born as such and their sole purpose in life is to protect supernatural beings. they are born in human form from two guardians and all of their powers are universal whether they are light or dark. the side they choose is purely personal and all guardians are born neutral and either prepared or turned to whatever side they protect.

VAMPIRES
[style=font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 5px;]essentially the walking dead, vampires are created by a bite from another vampire. they are nocturnal supernatural beings, however they can endure the sun for a brief period of time. consider it like a severe sun allergy. they do not sparkle in the sunlight and will appear to be like any other human, though as stated they cannot endure being exposed to the sun for long periods of time without getting sick. they do drink blood, though how they get that blood and whether it's human is up to them. they cannot reproduce like humans, so any 'offspring' they have are created through a bite.
