Below you will find all the information on how the creatures of Blood Wake work for the site. Please follow these guidelines when roleplaying and creating characters.
_________________________________________________
HUMANS
This character species is fairly self explanatory. The humans of Blood Wake are "inferior" creatures, and are significantly weaker then their immortal counterparts. After several years of hiding, the human population is at a severe disadvantage. Starved and struggling to survive, your human characters should reflect these characteristics. Humans are incredibly perceptive to disease, and can be turned into a monster with ease.
The human race has been through a lot, so many have fallen to mental illnesses or complete insanity. Even within their own species, it is very common for them to fight each other for food and resources as well. Many humans have embraced the darker side of things, and have raped, maimed and robbed every person they could to preserve their own lives.
Possible human Abilities:
Insanity - Insanity causes complete irrationality. Much of the time, humans with this trait will talk to themselves or do very unusual, and often unsettling things. Humans suffering from this tend to be very sporadic and dangerous.
_________________________________________________
VAMPIRES
Vampires are incredibly dangerous; especially new born vampires. New born vampires are irrational, and struggle to control their cravings for blood. The only way a human can become a vampire is if they were injected with the biological serum, or if they are drained of blood by another vampire and then fed that vampires blood shortly before death. Vampires have incredible strength and speed, as well as improved smell and sight. Vampires can walk in sunlight; although it is very uncomfortable for them. Once a vampire has been turned, there is no way to cure them. That being said, a vampire cannot turn into any other creature, even if they are bitten.
Vampires become incredibly dangerous when they live in groups, and often feed off of each other's cruelty. Other vampires attempt to cling to some semblance of humanity; but many of these vampires starve to death before reaching maturity. Vampires have the ability to mate with werewolves, although generally don't choose to do so. Most werewolves despise anything outside of their own species, and the same goes for vampires.
Possible Vampire abilities
Telekinesis - The ability to control objects(and in extreme cases, other creatures) with their mind; as well as crush things if their powers are strong enough.
Intensified senses - Sight, smell, and hearing are impeccable for vampires. They can smell human blood from miles away if they are focused on it. They can see within the darkest of black nights, and they can hear a pin drop from a block away.
Extreme power and speed - Vampires are very strong, although they aren't physically as powerful as werewolves are. Their biggest asset is their incredible speed. Vampires can do laps around a werewolf when at top speed.
Infectious ceremony - For vampires, the process for transformation is more complicated then it is for a werewolf. A vampire must drain their victim within an inch of their life before feeding them their own dead blood. This will stop the heart and cause the transformation to begin. Those who are only bitten will not turn.

WEREWOLVES
Werewolves are terrifying creatures, and often hunt in packs. The werewolves of Blood Wake are massive in size, and have more then enough strength to flip a bus with their clawed hands. Resembling a cross between a human and a wolf, these creatures stand on their hind legs and are covered in thick fur of various colors. A single bite from a werewolf will turn a human in a matter of hours. Young werewolves can only turn into their wolf forms under the light of the full moon, while the older, more mature werewolves can turn on command. It is highly recommended to fight werewolves at a distance due to their brute strength.
Werewolves are incredibly fast, although not nearly as fast as a vampire. Despite this, werewolves are bulky and it takes a lot to take one down. Werewolves stand about three and a half feet taller than an average human. Their jaws are easily capable of biting directly through bone. Werewolves can both be born and created; however a werewolf must mate with another werewolf to get a werewolf child.
Possible werewolf abilities
Brute strength - Werewolves are incredibly powerful, and a force to be reckoned with when at full strength after a feeding. Werewolves can tear trees from their roots, as well as flip cars when desired. A werewolves jaw could easily cripple a human skull effortlessly.
Intensified senses - Sight, smell, and hearing are impeccable for werewolves, just like vampires. They can smell human blood from miles away if they are focused on it. They can see within the darkest of black nights, and they can hear a pin drop from a block away.
Frenzy - When a werewolf is not in their human form, they are irrational beasts incapable of civilized conversation. That means that they will generally do what they want when they want, making their transformations unpredictable and dangerous.
Infectious fangs - For werewolves, the process for transformation is incredibly simple. All it takes is saliva to enter a humans direct blood stream; which is generally caused by a bite. The human will fall ill, suffering from fever and muscle discomfort. At the first full moon after the infection entered the blood stream, that person will be turned, and their illness will seem to lift.
Increased speed - Werewolves are fast, but because of their size they do not move as fast as vampires. This makes them incredibly scary to humans.

HYBRIDS
The hybrids of Blood Wake don't seem to really fit in anywhere. Hated by all three of the other species, hybrids are considered a taboo creation. The only way a hybrid can come to be is by having a mother and father of opposing immortal species. This is incredibly rare due to the vampire and werewolves hatred towards one another, but does happen on occasion. Hybrids are very powerful, and take on a slightly more human like appearance in comparison to the werewolves. Hybrids can not infect other creatures with their bites; however their fangs are toxic and can easily kill a living creature. Hybrids experience blood lust, just like their vampire counterparts, but can not take on a more human like appearance, making it harder for them to blend in. Most hybrids spend much of their time in the shadows, avoiding all of the other species unless they are required for food.
Possible hybrid abilities
Brute strength - Like their werewolf counterparts, hybrids are incredibly powerful when at full strength after a feeding. hybrids can tear small trees from their roots, as well as flip cars when desired.
Extreme speed - Like vampires, hybrids are very strong, although they aren't physically as powerful as werewolves are. Their biggest asset is their incredible speed.
Intensified senses - Sight, smell, and hearing are impeccable for hybrids, just like vampires and werewolves. They can smell human blood from miles away if they are focused on it. They can see within the darkest of black nights, and they can hear a pin drop from a block away.
