The Species

General overview of the species

This is a general overview of the species as documented by a combined group of Human, Vampiri, Lycan Werepyre, and demon Scientist they have studied all the living species they could find and written down their findings on this document this document is household reading and is informative to everyone it is being updated every time they discover something new about the species.

Lycans

The Lycans Are the most territorial of the species being overly protective and very distinct about their borders. While they are content to stay in the their land, they do have a problem with hunting. The Lycans are proud hunters they view themselves as the greatest predators alive and are willing to prove it. Unfortunately this means they hunt to deadliest prey they can find. i.g. Vampires Werepyres and Humani though the actual occurrences of them hunting these creatures are rare and strictly regulated by the Hellion.

The Lycans rule by pack leadership they are more than allies they are family and rival packs are relatives who compete with each other. It's friendly don't get worried. A normal Lycan will live anywhere from 700 to 900 years they are extremely long lived.

Note: The current Hellion is over 3,000 years old and lived on America before Columbus arrived there. he is the oldest Lycan on record.

Pack ranks from highest to lowest.

Hellion: The Hellion is the leader all Lycans every one of them he is the most powerful and dominant of them all and is a walking force of nature. No lycan can disobey a direct order from the Hellion. The Hellion has the good of his species at heart.

Sub-Hellions: Regional leaders they are like the Hellions generals they rule specific areas of Lycan territory but their main job is organization keeping everyone informed and in line.

Alpha's: Leaders of Individual packs they are stronger than the average lycan and a lot more vicious as well.

Beta's: The alpha's second in command the are a cut above the normal lycans and are only a little less dominant than their alpha's

Normal Lycans: normal citizens within the lycan system they have no rank but they all have a job. They are the most valued normally considering they determine what type of lycan a child will be.

Pups: Lycan children age range 1-297 years old.

Lycan Weakness

Silver: All Lycans take an adverse affect from silver some are allergic and to others it a literal poison either way most people have some from of silver on them because of this. It's main affect it the stopping of their regeneration.

Species over view: The Lycans are a strange race with a high healing factor but not entirely invincible a quick silver Wound and a death blow normally finishes them off but...the lycans are the top predators of the humani species being able to take down any of the other races in a one on one fight (these fight often go either way but Lycans are the most noted for fights and often believed to be beserkers) Lycans as a rule are very diverse and they traits are as diverse as they are. They abilities may be anywhere in their parameters.

The healing factor: Lycans healing abilities can be ridiculous at time as it's kinda random and never consistent A lycan healing ability can allow at it's best and highest working a lycan can replace it's head after being cut off as long as it's withing a 60 second limit(this has never officially happened and is speculation by scientist studying this species.) at it's worst bullet wounds are more annoying than lethal as the wounds will often heal over with the bullet inside instead of the bullet being forced out as it normally is. A sever blow like a cutting of the artery or brain damage isn't recognized by their healing system and their bodies are human in that respect. in effect they have a better healing system than most species but as it's not a definite thing it changes from Lycan to lycans some aren't even graced with this ability and some are close to unkillable because of it.

Physical standards: The Lycans as a rule are the second strongest species on earth in physical strength But they can be anywhere from as strong as a gorilla to strong enough to bend metal and other durable annoys with little to no effort. They aren't anything special in speed as they are more of an endurance based species they can out run any human and even most veichles but are often out shined in speed by the other races. They have great jumping abilities being similar in respect to spider mans jumping ability though no where near as flexable. they are basically humanoid tanks.

Lycan curse: The probability of surviving a Lycan bite for any species is one out of 6 billion 7 out of 5 billion if your an optimist. There saliva and blood when introduced to another living things system acts like a poison no one really understand this but it has been tested to affect any living thing the Bite of a lycan transformed is lethal to all. it's only dangerous when they are in human shape.

Wolf form: Most lycans have humanoid wolf forms a mixture of wolf and human but these vary as some seem to be simply human with hair conditions or large wolves. The most common form is the Hybrid and they are the stronger of the three different versions The more Humanoid form is faster and has more agility the large wolf form is Keenly aware while all lycans have great senses the third form leaves the others behind they are the ultimate bloodhounds but they are often subject to senses overload.

Lycan's magic and powers: Lycans have little ability in magic as they can't seem to agree with the force that allows for spells. while they may be able to cast spells they usually rely on a specific power they are born with and it unique to them abnormal strength speed sight hearing smell endurance intelligence ect ect these things change but their powers are rarely mental.

Other notes: Lycans have three set's of canine fangs, one in the front on in the middle and a set in the rear. Their wolfish heads also resemble a crocodiles in length, their snouts are also armored hinting that they could easily ram large prey head-on. Their four chambered hearts have two valves that can be actively controlled by the Lycan allowing them to send blood to the area's that need it most. The are also able to live without food for two years at the max and live without water for months. Surprisingly it has been found that under a Lycan's fur is a sort of scale like skin water proofed from what can be observed. This find seems to be hinting that lycan's may be slightly reptilian or at least have some of reptilian qualities and are at the very least slightly amphibious, though there is no evidence to support this. However if they were amphibious they should be able to switch easily from running to swimming.

The Vampiri

The vampiri live in a hierarchical system where There are families all who answer only to the queen and her knight themselves The Families are pretty much allowed to do what they wish unless the Queen gives them specific orders. Most if not all vampiri are infertile unable to give birth or impregnate except for a few who mutated the ability So far the Vampiri queen is the only Vampiri officially with this mutation. The Vampiri are in a tight spot they need the Humans so they can breed and feed but understandably most humans don't want this. The vampiri look at themselves as the cream of the crop simply better than the rest they understand that they are a border between life and death and this causes them to believe that they are superior by design than the other species causes many disputes.

Vampiri will live for about 1,000 years unless killed. The Vampiri Queens Knights use a combination of magic and music to defeat their enemies making them the funnest people to be defeated by.

The Vampiri's Weaknesses

Sunlight: While normally irritating to most vampiri to newly turned or weak vampiri the sun is fatal

Necronic Silver: Silver that has absorbed the powers of necronic magic is deadly to Vampiri though no one knows why they try to avoid it at all costs.

Vampiri age range:

Adult: 300-1,000

Child: 1-299

Vampires isn't their actual name Technically they are Humani Vampiri Which is a different type of Creature which is alive but on the border of death not needing anything but blood to operate. Strangely they are the most verse in magic being able to focus their magic easily this may be because the Vampiri are able to contain energy in their body's as when draining blood they are literally taking the energy your body produces. their bite is addicting if their target is allowed to live their fangs are thought to contain a narcotic of some kind.

Healing ability: Vampiri are strange in the fact that as long as they can still feed they can still heal all that is really require is a blood source if a vampiri is reduced to a blood pool if new blood is introduced they will start regenerating though such regeneration often leave them weak. this only works with uninfected (taint blight infection) blood they can feed off of Lycans Werepyres humans and demons but Humans are the healthiest for them they can stand Lycan and Werepyre without getting sick but demon blood is a risk. in short if they can still feed they can still fight.

Physical standards: They are much more physically fit than any human but only slightly above the human physical peak when in normal form they have two stages their natural stage they are normal but when they need an extra boost the have a feral stage where they become more animistic growing fangs and claws much more profound than previously their mouths change allowing for unnatural grins (ear to ear stuff) and the unhinging of the jaws in this state they can even wrestle a Lycan and possibly win but they can't stay in this state for long before they are either forced back or lose themselves to the feral
note: Feral vampiri are hunted down and slaughtered their existence isn't tolerated by the Vampiri

Truths and Myths: Vampiri are similar creatures to vampires with one real difference; they are alive. Other than that they are very similar

Vampiric abilities:
Blood drain, they drain blood simple.

Shape-shift, the legends of Vampires being able to turn into bats and wolves was based on truth the Vampiri are shape-shifters by nature and are able to change their from at will it is said vampire over the age of 2,000 can change themselves in amazing ways even copy the forms of others but the only vampiri old enough to test this theory on are very secluded.

Other abilities: Vampiri often but not always have shown great mental abilities such as; telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and mind control. Unfortunately for the Vampiri these abilities drain heavily on their other ones making them shy away from these powers some don't even know they exist.

Other notes: Recent insight into Vampiri biology reveals just what type of predator they are. Their bodies require massive amounts of energy to operate, and their bodies are specifically designed to hunt down and devour their source: Humans. However Many Vampiri rarely ever drain a human dry. As far as we can tell the last human to be drained dry was fed upon over a thousand years ago humans are more often killed by the diseases Vampiri carry rather than the bite itself. They claws are deadly as they pierce deep when they cut into flesh.

Werepyre's

Werepyre's are considered outcast's by the majority or the race's, for some reason when the infection broke out the werepyre's were on the receiving end of the blame. They call the time when they were blamed "the Great Betrayal" and even though they are a fun loving people (always with a smile) they can be angered easily at the mention of it and some werepyres harbor deep hatreds of other race for it. Generally though they tend to be fairly optimistic (seeing as they are already as low down the ladder as can be), and accepting, they are always willing to help others, even those of another race. All werepyre's are part of a clan and there are currently 10 clan and 1 ruling clan (The Dre'nsdaria clan [commonly referred to as the dresden clan]). The clan hierarchy was settled through the civil war, and ranks were given based on battle and duels.

Newborn children:1- 300
'Infection' children: 1-57 (after infection and training)
Adult:300-1300

weakness:
Silver, though they are working on building a resistance.


Demons

Demons is a term used to refer to horned humanoids and any other creature that doesn't fit into the other species.

True(horned) Demons are the strongest species in strength being able to easily out muscle a Lycan but they have a weaker healing factor instead their skin is tougher making it harder to harm them in the first place they are the second slowest species but very agile they tend to be constantly drunk as alcohol seems to act as a fuel for them like Vampiri and blood other than that the demons are very special they are well versed in magic but many haven't even heard of it. Horned demons often will have another power to back up their strength but most refuse to rely on it their abilities are very diverse being almost any type Physical or mental
they aren't limited so.

Demons have no caste system or any sort of Society they are simply there mingling with the other races if two demons meet they will most likely fight to determine the stronger of the two.


Plague aligned Species overview.

The group of species that openly support the infection that has gripped our world and are willing to fight to keep the others from finding a cure. They consist of the Loup Garou, Vampires and Devils.


By Moderator Fraide

Loup Garou

As beast-like The Lycans are, their counter parts the Loup Garou are pure monsters with all the abilities of the lycans except they are much much faster While lycans are based on strength and endurance the loup garou are based on strength and speed They live in family systems. Each family tends to stick together and murder as a group similar to that of the lycans packs but they operate in a smaller more close group. The Loup garou are twisted souls who enjoy causing pain to others they bond by killing and torturing other creatures. Strangely they are technically linked to the lycans as if they were the same species The Hellion of the Lycans is linked to these killers just as strongly as he is to his own people unfortunately this is more of a draw back than an advantage. the loup garou have the same aging system as the Lycans.

family ranks highest to lowest. (no one understands the dearest part it's simply part of their mentality.)

Mother Dearest: The mother is the head of the family generally the smartest out of the group, quite literally where the old saying about hell and women came from.

Father Dearest: The muscle in the family they say if suddenly a bear comes flying at you, either you pissed off a Lycan, or father-Dearest is coming for you.

Sonny-Dearest: The grunt, he acts as the face of the family handles pretty much everything so the mother and father don't have to.

Daughter-Dearest: Secret weapon wolverines had fled from these angry creatures they may not be the highest on the pole but they are the most frightening being sadistically vicious and impossibly fast.

Loup Garou Weaknesses

Inherited Silver: Silver given to the would be killer by a older family member.

Lycan venom: Their saliva and blood is fatal to just about everything unless the glands that produce the venom is left off for more than a week.


Healing Factor: Their healing factor makes them a mobile tank allowing them to ignore attacks that would knock back a lycan and keep going.

Physical standards:Same as the lycans

Wolf form:all are wolfish humanoids looking like a cross between human and wolf They tend to be bigger than lycans but by no means stronger. Their fur often looks as if it's been stained by blood.

Magic and powers:They have no magic and their powers range is exactly the same as the lycans.

Vampires

The undead version of the Vampiri This is where the vampires in the old legends get there bad name. The Vampire have a nasty habit of draining their opponent and using what they drained against them. They are otherwise the echo's of the Vampiri rouges if you will, the ones who dabbled in the dark forces and because of this they fight the Vampiri until full death. Same stock as the vampiri. Biologically the same but steril as they are dead.

Healing ability: Vampires are strange in the fact that as long as they can still feed they can still heal all that is really require is a blood source if a vampire is reduced to a blood pool if new blood is introduced they will start regenerating though such regeneration often leave them weak. this only works with uninfected (taint blight infection) blood they can feed off of Lycans Werepyres humans demons, and Dragon Blights but Humans are the healthiest for them they can stand Lycan and Werepyre without getting sick but demon blood is a risk. in short if they can still feed they can still fight.

Physical standards: They are much more physically fit than any human but only slightly above the human physical peak when in normal form they have two stages their natural stage they are normal but when they need an extra boost the have a feral stage where they become more animistic growing fangs and claws much more profound than previously their mouths change allowing for unnatural grins (ear to ear stuff) and the unhinging of the jaws in this state they can even wrestle a Lycan and possibly win the form is similar to the lycans wolf form being rather bat like and about the size of a lycan.

Vampiric abilities:
Blood drain, they drain blood simple.

Shape-shift, the legends of Vampires being able to turn into bats and wolves was based on truth the Vampires are shape-shifters by nature and are able to change their from at will. It is said vampire over the age of 2,000 can change themselves in amazing ways even copy the forms of others but the only vampires old enough to test this theory on are very secluded.

Other notes: Recent insight into Vampires biology reveals just what type of predator they are. Their bodies require massive amounts of energy to operate, and their bodies are specifically designed to hunt down and devour their source: Humans. However Many Vampires rarely ever drain a human dry, due to reasons that seem to be religious in nature. As far as we can tell the last human to be drained dry was fed upon over a thousand years ago humans are more often killed by the diseases Vampires carry rather than the bite itself. They claws are deadly as they pierce deep when they cut into flesh. like their liing bretheren they have the jaw strength of a alligator.

DragonBlight

The Dragon Blight are are creatures mutated from dragons, they range in shape and size, but all are esentually dragons. They have thick scale hides instead of skin, giving them hard durrible armor. Some are lucky enough to even have humanistic bodies these are considered the more powerful Dragon Blights. The more human it looks the deadlier it is (usually) they have wings on a usual baises and many have been known to fly. There are three branches of the dragon blight, the War Beast is the lowest form of their life, these are creatures which are mindless, large dragon like creatures that are imperfect, often resembling serpents or dogs. These beasts are used on the front lines and can be trained to fight like animals. The second tier is called Dragon spawn, these creatures have human intelligence but lack the greatest features of the Dragon Blight their connection to magic. Essentially these Dragon spawn are looked down upon in society, and used on the middle lines or front lines, sometimes even as slaves. Finally you have the true heart of the Dragon Blight the warlocks, The dragon blight have in their blood a great connection to the elements, the warlocks can harness this connection and control it, in the form of elemental manipulation. Usually this manifests as Ice control due to the frozen north being the home of the Dragon blights primary city. However elements such as electricity, fire, water, and others have been known to manifest from time to time. The Warlocks are the most valuable asset of society as they drive the myth that they were created from dragons, and their blood "Proves that connection".

Biology: The dragon Blight have a thick and durable body capable of taking hits. Their bones are naturally reinforced, and their scales make most weapons clatter off, they are essentially the most durable race in the world. Designed less for power and more for their ability to take a beating. The avarage strength of an Dragon blight warlock is nothing special, but the smaller the dragon blight is the more reinforced its body is, so essnetually the smaller the dragon blight, the harder its body is to break. The smallest "human" Dragon blight has bones that have matched up against steel and won.

Abilities: The warlock's powers are all about elemental control, one Dragon Blight has control over one element. However in the rarest case of the prime warlock the ultimate leader of the Dragon Blight who has two elements making him the religious figure head for the dragon blight. Aside from the elemental control the only known power of the dragon blight is that they all have a breath weapon. Even the war beasts have such a weapon, and it is a heavily corrosive acid stored in the mouth, when breathed out it takes the form of a large green cloud, that errodes metal.

Weakness: The Dragon Blight can not be harmed by metal, however their flesh can loose its defensive qualities once every 3 months when the seasons change, this is called skin sheding and is an itchy horrid time for any member of the dragon blight. When the skin from their body will peal off and be replaced by a new set of scales underneath these new scales remain vulnerable for 6 days, before gaining the hardened edge that is needed for dragon blight survival. They have a bit of a weakness to sickness and poisons could be more effective if the skin sheading is too weak, however exactly how much stock is in this notion is unknown.

Notes: The dragon blight are meat eaters, and in many cases will eat their own, war beasts are as much food as they are brethren and in fact make more use as food as they have what is often considered as sacred blood.
