b.) what is the "real" age cap for the #vampiresquad??

i love getting questions early bc it motivates me to write the lore??? omg


a.) anywhere!! there's like certain ways for them to join the court basically???? like for werewolves it's a system of alpha (king/queen) and their betas - aka the people who will compete to succeed the alpha should they be killed. with vampires it's a selection based on several things for the court, but the king/queen can only be someone who was turned by the king/queen. seelies are familial rulers, but their court is made up of the most powerful seelies. humans are the descendants of the first families to be on the court. and then for witches it's a spiritual selection, the spirits of the fallen court members choose the next court members !! hoo so much info


b.) that's actually a+ bc the first vampire was in the 1200s, but my limit for age is 1400 !
 
i'm so sad the update got delayed, but i'm still planning on this releasing afterwards, so i apologize for the delay </3 i can't wait to get us started afterwards though !!


once i get all of the lore finished i might post it all here so that everyone can work on their characters in advance ??? who knows

srsly i already have a completed character ready to go up i just want to know if there's anything i must change
 
it may be almost 3 am but i'm here with the lore anyway. there's more ofc (like magical items, the town, the curse, unseelies, etc...), but for now this is what i've got !!! if you want to work on a character, you can stop by my hosted project "shifting skies" and base your skeleton around my requirements there, but there will be more added for each individual species !!! <3

[SIZE=11pt]seelies[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the light fairies, much more behaved than their counterparts. they have a long standing history of helping those in need, but are quite bloodthirsty when it comes to enacting revenge. they are fun spirited and often play pranks on those around them. their first record goes back to 100 bc.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]they have a long familial line of royalty, the king or queen always comes from the same family. some considered the family to be too corrupt, and as such the previous king and queen were locked into the tomb with the underlies. their daughter took the throne, in hopes that she would break the pattern of those before her. lest she would be put to a similar fate.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the seelies all have special abilities, determined by their type. the most powerful of the seelies are of royal blood, and the next most powerful are the members of the court. often chosen young, with the help of magic. upon reaching a certain age this breed stops aging.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]since that night 300 years ago, the seelies have had several feuds with the humans, often trying to put the witches in the middle of it. nothing has come of it, and nobody's really sure what started it all. the ongoing rumor is that a seelie fell for a human and was rejected, leading to heartbreak and a violent turn of events.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]please be careful when writing these characters as they have [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]a lot[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] of powers and i don’t want that to get out of hand and lead the plot astray[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]witches[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]dated back even further than seelies they are the only beings who can be considered a true match for the abilities of seelies or unseelies. though, many witches are unable to fully harness their abilities, in fact only the queen or king of the witches can harness these powers. due to their magical similarities they seem to be the closest in bond to the seelies.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]witches are some of the most spiritual beings you’ll ever meet, and have varying belief systems. their morality is relevant, but they are a force to be reckoned with on either side of the fence. throughout history they have always been called several terms - but even males are referred to with the same term - but are now called witches the most frequently. their court is chosen by the spirits of those who fall before them and the king/queen is chosen during a ritual that lasts for a week.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]immortality is achievable for witches, through a special talisman and a spell casted by the court. it is earned, not given. it does not grant them invulnerability - only the ability to live life without dying of a natural cause.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]since the night of the ritual 300 years ago the witches have avoided starting feuds, aside from one. two nights after the ritual a werewolf killed the queen of the witches, and the king who took her place waged a war that lead to bloodshed of mass proportions, four of the five courts getting involved. the vampires were the only ones who did not involve themselves, until the bloodshed became too much to handle and they put an end to the war ten years after its beginning.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]powers available to witches:[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]x[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]please note that only the queen/king will be able to use all of the powers on this list so pick your powers wisely throughout the rp ![/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]werewolves[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the bloodshed that coursed through their kind left a dent in their population, but they carried on regardless. a species that dates back almost as far as vampires. originated through a spell by a hopi shaman during a war that seemed to never want to end. he gifted his people by making them part wolf - although sometimes they took the form of a different animal - and shift during the full moon.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]they turn others to werewolves by biting, but only in their humanoid form will the bite turn the person. a bite from their wolf form is poisonous to anyone their teeth manage to grab onto. they are powerful and terrifying in their own right. they stop aging once they are turned - or if they are born, once they transform for the first time - and can only die if they are killed.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]their court is made up on the most powerful betas, who will battle for the alpha position upon the death of the alpha. werewolves not on the court are referred to as omegas and are significantly weaker than those in power. becoming alpha causes the werewolf to obtain a great deal of power, and they can gain more by killing one of their betas or an omega.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the war between the witches and the werewolves ended when the king offered his life as a sacrifice to make up for what one of the omegas did. as a sign of peace, the witches bestowed them with the ability to transform at will rather than just on the full moon. the night of the full moon is their strongest, but is almost impossible for younger wolves to handle without help from those older than them.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]powers/abilities:[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]x[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]vampires[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the first vampire came in the early part of the year 1200. they were created with a curse rained down upon a family of aristocrats after a war lead to the death of an unseelie princess. the unseelies became irate and sought revenge. they wanted power? immortality? they would have it. but not in the way they had wanted.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]needless to say things were a little less than easy for them. the originals were too powerful for their own good and ended up starting yet another war, this time with the humans. banding together with a coven of witches, the humans killed all of the original vampires and attempted peace with those left in their wake. it went well enough, though many vampires lived in fear before the last king took the throne.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]there was nothing to prepare them for what this king would do. he took the throne in 1757, and laid waste to a kingdom, claiming it as his own. this seemed to sate him, and peace returned - though the courts remained vigilant for the sign of anything causing him to lash out again. when he did - five years ago - he was taken out by one of the members of the human court and one of his “children” would take the throne. they hoped for peace to return to the courts with his passing.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the only way to turn a human is for vampire blood to be in their system when they die. they will then resurrect as a vampire, but the process must be completed by consuming human blood. they cannot survive off of animal blood, but many drink it to sate the urges to kill when they’re short on blood. members of the court all have pieces of jewelry that allow them to walk in the sun, as do some of the common vampires - but these pieces are only able to be produced by seelies as vampires were created by unseelies. they are able to reproduce - due to a spell by the witches - and the child will age until a certain point (usually adulthood) before joining their parents in immortality.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]powers/abilities:[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]x[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]humans[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the humans have always been afraid of the supernatural and unknown, which is probably what lead to the start of the human court. a way to include the humans in the goings on, without revealing too much to those who don’t need to know. with the help of all of the supernatural breeds they have become well equipped for the battles they would face.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]immortality is only achievable through turning into a wolf or vampire for humans, however the members of the court have rings that prevent them from being killed by supernatural beings. they also have extensive knowledge on everything that can harm or kill supernatural beings. surprisingly enough, humans can hold their own even with witches in most ways.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]the court is made up of descendants of the original court. only on occasion are other families added to the court. most humans believe that all of the legends are just legends, despite them being so much more than that. it is a struggle to keep the secret, but in the long run it’s for the best. the leader of the court is usually chosen by a vote, and they stay the leader until the end of their life.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]they have been involved in many feuds - namely with the seelies - but have generally tried to keep things peaceful. humans know they aren’t capable of a full on war with any of the breeds, they’d be eradicated too quickly if they tried it.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]in place of powers/abilities the characters will have weapons and other things capable of harming/killing/slowing down supernatural beings.[/SIZE]
 
@phosphenes question about some of the lore, hope you dont mind!


1) For witches, what are limited numbers of powers used for non-queen & non-king characters, and are there any limitations to the powers themselves?


2) Do younger witches have to learn control for their powers, or is it a natural instinct that just sort of happens and then they got total mastery of it? And if they have to learn control, are the powers weaker until they gain full knowledge of how to control them or is it a scenario that they have ginormous power yet little control, so the results of usage are kind of catastrophic and dangerous?


3) (im probably forcing you to write so much lore rn, im sorry) is it forbidden/heavily frowned upon to have relations with someone belonging to a different court? 


well gee golly i hope it isnt too obvious im making a witch *le sarcasm*

omg pls i love you don't apologize this makes me so happy actually


1: not really so much a limit as to how many, just they have limits to how far their magic can stretch on its own. like even if they somehow master all of the magic, they wouldn't be able to channel enough power on their own - granted if the entire court/coven/group/etc comes together they could cast whatever they wanted - to fully execute the spell to its full potential due to their lack of strength. their strength is their limit more so than actual ability. however, the king/queen has a special talisman that allows them to channel magic from all of the past kings/queens and other witches basically, giving them enough power to cast any and all magic.


2: they have to learn it, but they won't have a lot of mishaps so much as their powers will just kind of show up?? like they'll get premonitions, they might make candles burn brighter, water might move for them, etc. like it happens naturally but they have to learn to control and channel it. most of their magic will have to be used with knowledge of how to use it, so it won't be strong enough without it, but some of it (little things) can cause issues like that.


3: no, it's actually not!! they all have a long history of relationships with other courts/species - even species that aren't involved in the roleplay ! <3
