Humans


Humans are a race of mortal, sentient beings who are members of the species "Homo Sapiens". Humans serve both as a food source as well as a means of pro-creation for vampires, who reproduce by performing a ritual that will transform a human being into an undead immortal. Humans make up for the majority of the earth's population, and are commonly noted for their desire to influence and understand the environment by seeking to explain and manipulate phenomena through mythology, philosophy, religion, and science.


Powers and Abilities


The primary abilities of every human being include adaptability and versatility. For the most part, humans are outmatched by supernatural beings and are most often defeated whenever confronted by a superior creature. However, some humans have been known to utilise tools and weapons and have managed to succeed in a supernatural combat. Therefore, as a means of survival, most humans must rely on intelligence, research and teamwork in order to prevail.


Due to the fact that humans are commonly noted for their tendency to fear the unknown, many of the humans who are aware of the supernatural have built societies, that are dedicated to hunting and killing all supernatural beings, especially vampires. Generally, these hunters use advanced knowledge of folklore to hunt, identify and murder any and all threats to humanity. They are able to modify conventional human weaponry such as guns and knives to repel and/or kill supernatural beings that are often more powerful than they are.


Humans who are born with magical powers are known as Witches. While most witches are known to channel their power from the forces of nature, some witches, have been known draw their power from other sources. Witches who have great command over magic have proven to match, overpower other supernatural beings.


Weaknesses

  • Mortality: Humans have weaknesses and are susceptible to many common forms of death, (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, etc).
  • Blood Loss: If a human is severely wounded and bleeds out they can die.
  • Broken Neck: Breaking a human's neck will result in instant death.
  • Decapitation: Decapitation will result in instant death for a human.
  • Fire: Fire can hurt and burn humans. It can also kill them.
  • Heart Extraction: Ripping a human's heart out will result in instant death.
  • Magic: Humans are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects.

Awareness of Other Supernatural Beings


Vampires
Only a handful of humans are aware of the existence of literal vampires. Among the greater masses of the 21st Century, vampires are regarded as superstition, fiction, and myth. Humans can be turned into a vampire, with vampire blood and then death, although it needs to happen within 24 hours. Some humans can be completely unaware of what's happening to them during their transition into vampirism, and will feel confused and very hungry.


Werewolves
Not very many humans are completely aware of werewolves, mainly due to their near extinction, making them an endangered species. Humans can also give birth to werewolves. Werewolves are technically still human until they trigger the curse. They can pretty much grow up living a human life unaware of their heritage.


Witches
Some humans might not be completely aware of witches, and sometimes used in human witchcraft practices or sub-culture classes. Back in the Salem witch trials, humans were held responsible for the burning of the witches. Despite the horrible history between the two species, it appears that witches can generally get along with humans, possibly mainly because they are bound by nature. Humans can give birth to witches, and can also lose their powers, becoming human.


Witches (much like werewolves) can also be completely unaware of their heritage and will most likely confuse them when their abilities start to break out.


Doppelgängers
Only a handful of humans are aware of their existence. Humans can give birth to a doppelgänger and a human can become a progenitor to a line of doppelgangers, if they took The Immortality Spell, and distributing the balance of nature. Despite still being human, a doppelgänger is still considered supernatural.


Ghosts and Mediums
Only mediums and witches can communicate a ghost. Normal humans cannot contact ghosts. Mediums are still human, but with special abilities. They are humans who died (non-supernaturally) and have been resurrected by a witch, possibly leaving a "door open" for contact with ghosts.
