The night sky, beautiful, mysterious, What does this wonder hide? What goes on during the night? Why do we fear it? Perhaps we always fear the unknown, But why something that occures every 24 hours? Perhaps there are things going on beaneath the curtain of darkness, Will you become a hunter or a hunted?
This isn't how the world was, The world has changed in all those years. No-one knows why this happened, but its known that it relates to the finding of an ancient artifact, a giant cross thats proudly displayed in a museum....How is this all conntected?
Races
Vampires
Vampires are the most common of the cursed races, decended from the unionship of a bat and a demon. Vampires are physically stronger than most humans and posses average PSI abilities, but posses many weaknesses, the most extreme one is that, any light will weaken them severly, with sunlight instantly turning them to ashes. Like any living thing, Vampires can be killed by methods of extreme injury, but will heal very fast and regrow limbs within a matter of days. All vampires are controlled by the thirst for blood, it drives many insane.
Werewolves
Rarer than the Vampires, Werewolves were created by a wolf god wedding a mortal woman. Werewolves posses great physical strength, easily able to kill most humans, and outclass most enlightened in brute power. Werewolves have powerful PSI abilities, so powerful that most can't stand the constant strain and thus have their intelligence reduced during their transformayions, makeing it unuseable. Werewolves don't suffer from the thirst for blood, but instead require alot of food in their human state. To become a werewolf you must be bitten and survive the first transformation, a werewolves weakness resides in a item made of silver, which will weaken them or kill them. Few Werewolves can avoid going Feral, those who don't usually amass in clans.
Wraiths
A Former living being that has had their life force removed, however their soul still stays clinging to their body. A Wraith may use magic to look normal while not engaged in battle but really look like a near-skeletal being with sharp claws on their hands and feet, they usually have no lower jaw and glowing eyes, sometimes possesing hair like when they were human. Wraiths have the natural ability of flight and strength equal to a werewolves when in their body, when they have temporarily seperated their soul they can use strong PSI powers.
(yes, I drew alot on influence from Raziel of Soul Reaver)
Humans
The prey of Vampires and feral Werewolves, Humans are not completely defenceless afainst attackers, Humans have no strengths but no weaknesses either, Humans can exploit the weaknesses of Vampires and Werewolves and have nothing to fear from Wraiths. Certain Humans have been chosen by the Gods to slay th creatures of the night, as such they have been given PSI powers and strength equal to that of a vampires to slay these beasts.
PSI
The power to use ones mind to alter the mortal world, PSI users have varying degree of of control over the section of their brain that allows PSI abilities. The most basic is Telekinesis and more advanced degrees can cause an Earthquake.
