[SIZE=18]The Krimson War[/SIZE]Plot: In a symbiotic vampyre and human society where secrets are the main source of division, vampyres and humans could never co-exist with the humans knowing that there a vampyres amongst them. So, over time, the vampyres became wise and decided to stop showing off their powers and became creatures of the night that avoided scaring the humans.
That is... until the Witch Hunt began. Of course, who does not know of the Salem Witch Trials or the Witch Trials in the European countries of the 1450's to the 1750's. Many had thought that they were witches simply for owning a black cat, or being able to do things that someone shouldn't be able to do or how they behaved. Many vampyres were lost during that time, but it slowly died down, if not for a long time.
Now, the year is 2020, when the Vampyres are now pretty much disregarded as myths. However, the largest clan of the century is one named the Krimson Clan, known for the bloody wars it waged against the many other clans around the world. With power in their clan, they moved to North America, where they found it to be their home. When they thought that everything was settled, something stirred amongst the vampyres and humans alike. Dark Creatures began to hunt both humans and vampyres, completely obliterating them and not caring if the world saw it. However, now that they rage the planet, the humans are beginning to suspect that the myths are not myths at all but the real thing. Hence, the long dormant and hidden organization of Vampyre hunters revealed themselves, saying that the doings were of the vampyres.
Vampyres have become limited in their ways as the way to change people now come to once a month and the people that can help defend themselves against the Dark Creatures and destroy them are the Chosen Ones, humans who have hidden powers that do not awaken unless Changed. It is said that around the time that the Dark Creatures appeared, it was when both Tryst and Ryuu appeared, making their mark on both sides forever. However, vampyres have been fighting the Dark Creatures, just so they do not reveal their entire race to the humans, as they do not completely believe that there are vampyres out there at all.
So... begins the race of the Dark Creatures, who want to take over the world and plunge the Earth into darkness and destroying everything in its path, against Vampyres, who want to keep their race a secret and protect the Earth from the Dark Creatures control. Vampyre Hunters, however, are on their own side, hunting Vampyres and unknowing of the fate that the Dark Creatures could bring...

The Placements:Vampyres: Vampyres are scattered around the world. Their abilities can are regeneration of limbs, super strength, speed that makes one unable to see them to the human naked eye, sharp hearing and eyesight, and a certain power over a certain or part of the element. Their unique trait is that they can smell the air and figure out what has happened recently. They can also have the ability to see in the dark. They emit a certain scent that only belongs to the vampires. Weakness: Pure silver, crucifix, holy water, beheading, and fire; stakes through the heart will only paralyze them and light will give them a burning sensation.
Vampyre Hunters: Namely humans who think that the Vampyre race should be extinguished. Elite in skills, they can range from a large variety of people; from psychics to fighters to scientists. All of them have a large variety of fighting skills in order to combat the Vampyre. They have honed their body enough so that they have a large amount of stamina to challenge those of the Vampyre race. Most have a strong hatred towards the vampyres but all of them are not stupid as they know that Vampyres should never be exposed to the rest of the human population. Weaknesses: Everything that a human can be weak to.
Changeling: A Changling is a young Vampyre in the process of growing up to a full vampyre. The overall Change takes a whole year, hence why they are away from home for an entire year. They have the same powers of a Vampyre, but it's weaker by half. Among some of the Changelings, will have ones of strong power called the "Chosen Ones"; their power will be known by a tattoo that would appear mainly on their back. Weakness: Crucifix, beheading, and fire. They experience no burning sensations from light, but as they get older, it burns more, and stakes leave them paralyzed.
"Chosen Ones": Changelings that are more powerful than the average Changeling with special powers that often benefit the clan that they would belong to. [People who want to apply for this one must tell me a unique power that will be interesting to the storyline.]
Dark Creatures: Their forms vary in size from very tiny to very large, as large as a five foot building. Their shape are in such a large variety, that no one knows exactly what they are in their defined form. They are out to destroy everything in its path, human or vampyre. Weakness: light and beheading. (Will most likely be NPC's or not, depending)
Donor: A human that is willing to give up their blood to a vampyre. They help a horribly wounded vampyre heal quicker with their blood.
Other Important Information:Clans: Vampyres are all in a clan and if they are not, then they are loners or rogues who follow their own beliefs. Those who are in Clans always follow a leader and they usually choose a single place to live in as something of their headquarters and home. They follow specific rules and they do not usually feed on Humans but on their Donors, humans who volunteer to offer their blood... but that's when they're in dire need of it. Clans also vary depending on where one chooses to live. The Krimson Clan is the largest by far.
Rogue Vampyres: Many of these rogues often times do what pleased them, even attacking humans for the mere fun of it. However, they also like to aggravate the Clans and the Vampyre hunters, playing them against each other, but they have enough common sense to know when to stop fooling around.
The Process of Changing: The Change can only work on the night of a New Moon, otherwise their bite would usually be harmless in terms of changing a human. Their change usually takes a total of two days but it takes usually a whole year to fully and completely understand their powers as an "adult" vampyre.
New Moon: On the night of the new moon, the vampyres powers are at their strongest, doubling up in almost every ability.
Full Moon: They are at their weakest here, besides being in the sunlight. Vampyres can still fully move around like they usually do, but their powers are cut down to three-fourths of their original powers.
Donors: Humans who offer up their blood to the Clan of Vampyres. They are usually hidden away in a town that's often the closest to where the Vampyres live, blending with the other humans. They are marked on the back of their neck of whatever the symbol of the Clan that they belong to.
