Vampires
The vampires are incredibly powerful, and nearly immortal beings, however it is possible to kill a vampire. Fire is the only substance powerful enough to destroy such a being, and decapitation is neccessary, because the heart is no longer beating. Burning the remains is the only sure way to kill a vampire. Otherwise, the corpse could once again be reanimated. Vampires have incredibly heigtend senses. Because of this, they can read the minds of humans, simply by listening closley. Also, because thier eye sight is so advanced, they cannont go into the sun, as many get horrible headaches, and some even get nausea. However, this can be solved with UV sunglasses. Vampires look exactly like humans, save for thier incredbily pale, almost pearl colored skin. Thier eyes do not change colors after thier transformation. To change a human to a vampire, the human must drain the human of blood, Killing them. The must then bite the coraded artiere,injecting the vampire venom. They must be buried in an Oak chest, with a ring of Garnet, Diamond, or Ruby. These three stones have a property that inflicts an almost serene air onto the wearer, and is crucial until the fledgeling has calmed down enough to conrtol thier own actions. Vampires can only drink human blood.
Humans
Human is defined as subject to or indicative of the weaknesses, imperfections, and fragility associated with humans. Meaning, humans are nowhere near as perfect as the other groups. They are subject to the dangers of the Vampires and the allure of the Shifters. It is incredbly dangerous to be a human, as they are the pawns in every groups struggle for power. They are constantly being changed into Wares or Vampires to serve the needs of the immortals.
Wares
Wares are humans that, under the light of the full moon ONLY, can take on the shape of any one animal, most likely a large dog. At times when the moon is not full, they are normal humans. However, they cannont be bitten by a vampire as thier skin is too rough. The bite of a Ware will transform a human into the latter, cursing them as well.
Shifters
The shifters are exactly like the wares, except that they can change at will. Older wares can decided what they wish to become, younger ones can only become thier familiar animal (Cat, dog, bird, etc.) The youngs are drawn to animals and animals are drawn to them. They absolutley hate vampires, and are greatly praised for killing them. It is impossible to become a Shifter. If you are not born that way, you do not become one.
