These are the species currently allowed on the forum. They may change, then again they may not. But here we go.
Humans
The most common group, they inhabit the city and perhaps even a small portion of the outskirts but most are too frightened to settle in the forests. Although lacking in the obvious weapons that other creatures have, they are intelligent and quite productive once they put their minds to something.
Strengths – Guns and ingenuity
Weaknesses – Very fragile, not as quick or strong as Vampires or Werewolves
MEANS OF REPRODUCING: Well....when a boy likes a girl....
Shape-shifters
There is only one pack of these shifters in Newhalen, they live out in the forest, away from everyone else in their own little advanced community. When faced with an outsider they can be quite stand-offish and intimidating. Their pack can only turn into Wolves, as that is what their Ancestors identified themselves with. When they phase they turn out to be about six-feet tall, huge, and extremely ferocious Wolves, and even in their Human forms they are quite big and muscular. When the younger ones come of age at 13, they have little control over their phasing and tend to shift when they get angry. Like regular wolves they only eat meat. They are not immortal, but they can live to about 500 years. And.....they hate Vampires - but I bet you already knew that.
Strengths – Strong and fast in their human forms, sense of smell and sight
Weaknesses – They can bleed to death, and can be hunted and killed just like a normal Wolf
MEANS OF REPRODUCTION: Same as Humans.
Vampires
Vampires do not usually live in Family Groups, but those that do are in Covens - some ranging in size from 2 or 3 to 8-9, it depends on how much food their is in the area. When Vampires create Covens, they are usually vegetarian as it is easier to feed off of Animals than Humans - even in larger numbers. Their main prey are Humans although some dine exclusively on animals as well. Contrary to common belief, one short session of blood-sucking won’t kill you as long as they don’t consume too much blood, most are careful not to kill Humans. Speaking of feeding, right before they sink their teeth into you, their canines grow because in order to blend in they remain small as not to draw attention. When they do grow; however, they are longer than any other tooth and resemble an Animal's fangs. They are very successful at hunting Humans because of their attractiveness. Vampires are very pale, and either have Golden or Red eyes depending on their diet. Golden if they feed on Animals, or Red if they feed on Humans. Contrary to modern belief, they aren't harmed by sunlight or holy objects. They. Do. Not. SPARKLE.
Strengths – Very Attractive, above average strength and speed, some have special powers
Weaknesses – Can only drink blood, elf blood kills them
MEANS OF REPRODUCTION: Biting. You can have babies when you're DEAD remember?
Elves
The sole protectors of Humans, they have pointed ears as you would think they would; however, they are very cunning thus they have invented disguises that allow them to mingle freely with humans as much as they wish. They are usually very tall some are actually very slender - making them natural speed-demons, able to practically fly through the tree branches with relative ease, they are usually scouts for the King. Others aren't quite the Speedy Gonzales type, but are actually very strong - perhaps not stronger than a Shifter, but enough to throw a Heavy built Human around with ease; these types of Elves are usually soldiers. Elves also know the secrets to killing Vampires and Werewolves, but choose to keep it within the huts of the elders. They are very good with metals, crafting them into weapons and tools to defend themselves and build with. They may not be able to sniff Weres and Vampires out, but they most certainly can sense their Auras. They also live up to 500 years.
Strengths – Very intelligent, cunning, swift, very good with crafting metals, and sneaky
Weaknesses – Tend to be very pacifistic, magic is usually used toward Defensive means
MEANS OF REPRODUCTION: I'm...I'm running out of sex jokes over here.
When you're filling out your bio, you'll see that there is indeed a place where you MUST have a weakness listed. You may create your own, but you may also put the Sun, Silver, or Guns. I figure they play out like allergies, their bodies can withstand them, and have some sort of reaction when faced with them. Vampire's skin may begin to burn or blister in the sun. A Shifter may become violently ill when they come into contact with silver. You get the idea. PM me if you have any questions.
