Fallen Elben

Those Elben who have fallen from grace, but have been revived by Demonic or otherwise, to bend their will upon the world. Not necessarily evil, these spiritual beings retain the ability to fade into the Spiritual Realm.
Appearance: 
 
Fallen Elben usually have a dark complexion, with dark grey or black spiritual wings (Rogue Elben only). They emit a faint anti-light, depening on how far they have fallen from grace, and which order they are under. 
 
Natural Attributes: 
 
Fallen Elben have the power of whatever force has revived them be it Sídhe, Demonic or Fae. The most common, however, tends to be Demonic.  
 
These Elben have dark twisted powers that only permit pain and fear. Elben of this order are almost always evil. Demonic Elben have bat-like wings and small horns. They emit an overwhelming shadow. An Elben who has decided against using its demonic powers will become Rogue Fallen Elben, weaker than all others because of the divine support they lack.  
 
Elben who are under the Sídhe order tend to be as powerful as they were before they fell from grace. However, they emit a beautiful shadow/light hybrid that seperates into rays of darkness and light when they are angry or distressed, and have one white wing and one black wing. are considered as holy as their unfallen kin and are gifted with powers that restricted to holy magic. 
 
Elben under the Fae order have large translucent, insect-like wings that shimmer beautifully. They powers tend to be restricted to the Fae (glamour being their most effective) bound to the physical realm.

Ghosts

An Ethereal spirit of someone who was killed or died.... Or was removed from their body.
Physical Appearance 
Ghosts vary in physical appearance. They will appear as they were when they died, or shortly before. Their level of visibility often fluctuates between invisible and entirely visible. Some ghosts can control this. 
 
Attributes 
Ghosts can somewhat control their appearance, sometimes, but mostly the level of visibility. They can influence tangible items, temperatures, emotions or any combination of these. Sometimes they retain the skills in magics that their bodies had. 
 
Other Info 
In order for someone to be a ghost, one of two things must happen. 
 
Either the person must have died somehow, or they must have had their spirit removed from their bodies.

Spectres

Spectres are the souls of Dead Vampires who have enough power to stay in the Physical Realm but not enough to assume a Physical Form.
Appearance 
 
Spectres have no physical form but may have a ghost if their power permits it. A Host that is in use of a Spectre has silver eyes, a result from the soul of the Spectre shining through. 
 
Natural Attributes 
 
When in their host, Spectres have all the powers they had when they were living as Vampires. They can live on in the body protected from everything except sunlight. For when the first rays of sun touch it, it is expelled from the body. A spectre may live on inside of the body but can not use it when in sunlight for risk of being exorcised. Spectres can heal their host with their powers and allow them to move all the more faster.  
 
Spectres feed upon memories, feelings and dreams. It is the only thing that binds them to their host. They may feed upon both the memories/feelings of their hosts or others near their host. Once a memory or feeling is eaten, it is forgotten. Some of the better Spectres feed upon more of the bad feelings and memories.  
 
As an after effect the victims may feel tired. Most Spectres feed their hosts in order to keep them alive. 
 
Extra Bits of Information:  
 
~There are two types of Spectres: Symbiotes and Parasites. Symbiotes share the body with their host and usually share it upon the host's will. Parasites are much different. These beings are considered evil because they take full control of the body. They may either expel the host's spirit or allow it to live on, suffering it by forcing it to do things against it's own will. 
 





Vampire and Half-Vampires

Vampires were once a noble line of Elves who died in battle. They desired so much to live once again that they bargained with the forces of evil and became the first Vampires.
Appearance 
 
Vampires in all their forms are very beautiful and seductive. But with age they can even shapeshift. Vampires are usually very vain and adorn themselves in the lattest fashions. 
 
Natural Attributes 
 
All Vampires gain magical powers as they age albeit randomly and not in ANY pattern whatsoever. They tend to be resilient towards nature and all that it can through at them but ALL Vampires are weak against fire and the glare of the sun (it is noted that Vampires have an instinctual fear of sunlight). Vampires also die if they are dismembered and if their remains are destroyed. Vampires heal quickly and are immortal and can not age. But there is a catch -all of this can ONLY be achieved if the Vampire drinks the blood of a living thing. In fact blood is a sort of physical attraction to Vampires and no Vampire can fight the "thirst". Vampires have enhanced senses and are A LOT stronger than any other race their size. 
 
Extra Bits of Information:  
 
~A Vampire must drain his victim to near death if they want to turn them. They also have to allow them to drink their blood. This is called the "Immortal Kiss." 
~Vampires can partially suck the blood of their Victims and then exert their will upon them. This is called the "Thrall Kiss." 
~No Vampire can procreate, they can only taint. 
~All Vampires (with exceptions) are bound to the first Vampires. If one of the first Vampires were to die, all the turned Vampires under their name would die also. 
~Any living thing can become a Vampire (excluding the Werewolf) 
~If a Vampire were to drink the blood of a True Immortal, the Vampire would no longer need to feed on blood, that is why Immortals are hunted so vigorously by Vampires.

The Half-Vampire Subrace:  
 
Half Vampires are the children of either recently-turned-pregnant woman or the children of two Half-Breeds themselves.  
 
Appearance 
 
Half Vampires very greatly in appeareance (they can be Humanoid in appearance or even some other animal), though not as much as Humans. They are GENERALLY naturally beautiful. Half Vamps are usually innately fit too, making them all the more appealing.  
 
Natural Attributes 
 
Half Vamps are born with magical powers that increase with age also. Half Vamps share many characteristics with true Vampires: increased senses, enhanced strength, immunity to damage, healing capabilities, and inhuman powers. But they also have some differences: resistance to the sun, aging, death from old age. Although this can be altered. Half-Vampires can feed on both the "normal food" for their race and blood. A Half-Vamp doesn't age and in fact may appear more younger when they drink blood. If they drink to much blood, they can become Athangarvun Vampires. 
 
Extra Bits of Information:  
 
~No Half Vamp can turn another being. But they can give the "Thrall Kiss" if they are powerful enough to will themselves over their victims. 
~Half Vampires can procreate, but can not taint. 
~Half-Vampires transform their teeth into a Human's to hide the true evidence 
~Half-Vampires are like Humans, but better (senses, speed, strength, etc.) 
____________________________________________ 
 
Athangarvun Vampires:  
 
An Athangarvun Vampire is a vampire that was once a Half Vampire. These Half-Vampires-Turned-Full-Vampires differ from other True Vampires for the fact that they aren't bound to the First Vampires; they can exist with them being vanguished. They also tend to be more powerful and have a resistance to sunlight/other vampiric weaknesses over time. 
 
All their fledglings (or the ones that they turn) are bound to them, not the first True Vampires. So if they shall die, so shall all their fledglings. That's why they tend to have a resistance to Vampire weaknesses.







Werewolves and Half Werewolves

A full moon rises and a howl sounds. The hunt has begun
Full Werewolves 
 
Physical appearance 
By day, a werewolf would just look as their origonal race looked. However, at night, a full werewolf can transform into their wolf form. This looks like a bipedal, humanoid wolf. They have very fierce teeth and claws.  
 
Attributes 
Full werewolves have usually a good control of their transformations. The only time that they cannot resist the change is when they are touched by the light of the full moon. At any other night time, they can change if they so wish. Being a werewolf gives the person inhanced strength and speed, even when in their origonal form. However, when in their wolf form, they usually have a bit of bloodlust and act more beast like than in their human forms. 
 
Other information 
One is turned into a werewolf by being bitten by another werewolf. The only way to change this is to drink the blood of an alpha male werewolf. (Alpha werewolves are wolves turned on the light of a full moon and turned instantly to werewolves rather than having to wait for the next full moon. They have increased strength and speed) 
If one were to drink the blood of an ordinary werewolf, they would not be restored but only turned into a half werewolf.  
 
 
Half Werewolves 
 
Other Information 
All of the physical traits and attributes of a half werewolf is the same as a full werewolf. The only difference is that a half werewolf can only turn into wolf form involuntarily on the full moon and voluntarily on the new moon.







Demons and Half-Demons

Demons are the ancient enemy of the Fae, being twisted versions of them. They vary greatly in appaearance and power, but all have one thing in common, immortality and the Dark Gift
Appearance: 
 
Demons can vary in appearance, but mostly take on the form of a beast or humanoid. However, demonic plants aren't uncommon. They can be beautiful or unbearably hideous.  
 
Description 
 
All demons are immortal and immune to disease, ironically they are usually the bearer of these diseases. Demons also have the Dark Gift, similiar to Vampires in some way. These powers can never be used for the betterment of others (not directly), all they can do with their gift is corrupt, control, destory and ruin the minds and bodies of others. No such power can heal, save their own kind. 
 
Extra Bits of Info 
 
~Some demons can shed their physical forms and create new ones, while some can only shapeshift 
~There is a division between Spiritual and Live Demons. The former kind needs to possess the living in order to use their powers while the latter has its own true form 
 
____________________________________________ 
 
Half-Demons 
 
Half-Demons can be a mix of any races with demon blood, excluding Elben (who, along with the Fae, can not be possessed by them); their true pure can not mix with demon taint. 
 
Half-Demons have all the gifts of their Demon parent/heritage as well as those from their other parent/heritage. Half-demons are also more resistant to demonic powers and can not be driven insane by their influence. They can also see into the spirit realm, making them unaffected by Elben glamour.  
 
Half-demons can eventually make a choice between a demon life and the life of their other parent, but this choice can be withheld until their death draws near. If they are a true half-demon then they also go through a a cycle that changes from almost entirely human to almost entirely demon each month. Their powers also weaken when they become near humans.
