Some children from established hunters attend the Hunter’s Academy in Texas. This institution is like a second home to youth, as they can be left by their guardians for all their schooling needs and training to become future hunters. Trained to fight anything that could possibly come their way. Some, who haven’t attended the academy, fight select creatures and have their own tactics. Sometimes people become hunters because a creature has taken their family. demons Their eyes turn completely black, but can be turned on and off. They are impervious to hallowed ground. They can be exercised back to hell and are restricted by salt barriers. Vulnerable to the colt and the knife the demon Ruby possesses. They can, however, trap themselves to their human host by a binding spell and can communicate with someone higher up on the chain (yellow-eyed demons) through a goblet of blood and sometime EVP. civilians Not everyone is gripped by some supernatural disposition to create chaos in the world or out to fight those who do. Most civilians are entirely naïve to what really goes bump in the night, just going by their daily lives in peace as officers, doctors, lawyers, waiters, mechanics, etc. But every civilian may not be what they seem. Some are retired hunters, formerly possessed victims of demons, victims of loved-ones falling prey to the supernatural, or those in the know who simply do nothing about it. psychics Psychics are those who possess powers through genetics or supernatural gain. True psychics have had their powers from the day they were born, unlike the those that later gained theirs. Because of the knowledge of their power, they tend to have more control over time and are a little more aware of their ability. The character of Missouri, who is slightly clairvoyant, would be a good example of a psychic with powers of the mind. skinwalkers Many believe that these beasts are closely related to werewolves, but the best known is that of the Navajo yenaldooshi, evil human beings who have gained supernatural power by murdering a close relative or breaking cultural taboo. The creature travels by night, spreading misery and desecrating holy things. Causing trouble, like a shifter, it is said that these creatures have the power to canines and are cousins to the wolf, and that they run around naked—but since they first appeared I’m sure things have changed a bit. They are vulnerable to silver. vampires Vampires in this verse are unlike other familiar vampires, in addition to enhanced senses, they have a set of separate, fully retractable teeth and mate for life. Due to being hunted down, they are mostly extinct and travel in packs. Sunlight does not affect them too bad, it is just like a bad sunburn to them. Some can resist the temptation of humans, but as ‘good’ as they may try to be, they are at best neutral creatures. Their lust for blood will always be there, and they could easily betray their humanity for instinct to sink their teeth into another. werewolves Werewolves, or Lyncanthropes, are humans who have been bitten, also known as sired, by another werewolf. They have the ability to shapeshift (unwillingly it seems) into a feral form during the full moon. Those who are inflicted with this curse do not even remember their transformation at the end of the lunar cycle. They are nothing like the horror movies. They retain most of their human characteristics, however they are now supernaturally fast and strong. There is no known cure to the condition, nor a method to keep them from transforming. witches Whether practiced alone or within a coven, male or female, witches are those who use spell work and magic to manipulate their surroundings. Hexes, jinxes, and curses are all part of their arsenal. In order for their spells to work, they typically pledge themselves to a demon that lends them a bit more power. Though there might also be some good witches, who use magic more to help others than to manipulate. For those not adept to using an outside energy source, however, their 'powers' will severely sap their strength. angels Angels are known by many religions of messengers of god. As mediums of god, they can execute God's will. Angels became active on Earth to stop the breaking of The 66 Seals, but seemed to have failed. Many angels died in that battle, but some still remain. They can take human form and only reveal themselves as angels to whom they wish. Angels in this verse, like demons, do so by taking on a human host. These may be voluntary "possessions" by followers of god, willing to give their body to the lord as a vessel. Angels keep their host’s body alive, should they gain a mortal wound. They are divine beings imbued with a heavenly grace. An angel’s true form burns out the eyes of one who spies upon it and their voices shatter glass, causing the earth to quake, and the ears of man to bleed. sirens In the Supernatural Verse, Sirens can appear as both men and women, luring victims in by seducing them. This does not necessarily mean a sexual love, but can also be through a sibling affection the person shares a bond with. As such, a Siren’s Song is transmitted through any bodily fluids. Their fluids leave traces of oxytocin in the victim’s blood, which is a love hormone that evokes feelings of euphoria. With the ability to read minds, the siren pretends to be the person’s perfect person or desire. A siren’s true face can be seen in a mirror, and the only way to kill them is to stab them with a bronze dagger dipped into Siren-infected blood (blood of a person affected by them). Siren’s can and will convince you to kill the person you love under the pretext of replacing them. spirits There are several types of spirits known in the supernatural verse, some good and some bad. They can haunt a specific place or latch onto a specific person. A ghost can appear in semi-corporeal form and have taken the shape of humans, animals, and even vehicles in Supernatural. Some ghosts linger on this earth because they have unfinished business, are out to seek revenge on those who have caused their deaths, and/or have the unwillingness to move on. Reoccurring spirits often act out the things that happened in their everyday life; some may not even notice that you are there while others can communicate or interact with you. Common dispatch of a ghost is salting and burning of its corpse, and blessing them and making them move on. You can also “scare a ghost to death” by making them relive their torture and violent deaths. Iron works to repel them temporarily. shape shifters supernatural versed shapeshifters gifted They are human beings who have extra ordinary gifts that wouldn’t be considered that of a Psychic or that of a Witch. Example: Kinetic powers would be an example of a gifted person. They have often inherited their abilities through their family lines and were born with these gifts. If you are unsure of where your character should be please contact an admin. on which section your character should be suited. For gifted please two power max unless approved by the admins we don't want them to be ubber powerful. [tr] the credits baby.
