Species
Below is everything you need to know about the available species on the boards. Keep in mind that other than Animal Shapeshifters, occasional pets, or pre-approved characters, all characters look like regular people. Everyone is mostly human, 90% or higher human. (Again, unless they are pre-approved by an admin). They don't have any sort of special features, unless their powers cause them.
In addition, There are unique features, traits, and abilities for each race. However, these are only obtained by approval from Admin;Tsunami. Characters can obtain them, with approval, by facing extreme trauma (here on the boards so I can see if the trauma matches what I mean), or falling in true love (cliche but I'm totally serious). They can only be used when in close proximity to their loved one, or during uses of extreme power. If obtained through love, a very powerful magical bond is formed, and both persons will receive some trait of their lover's, along with some sort of combined power, as well as a boost in whatever power they already have. If the bond is strong enough, a Unique Ability may be granted. These are also listed in with the species, but you may not claim them unless Admin;Tsunami has approved it for you. These traits will be in brackets.
Seraph
This means that somewhere in your family history, and angel bred with a human. From that moment on, generations began having powers Angelic in nature. Seraph blood usually causes people to be kind to one another. They are interested in helping other people. Usually they wind up as doctors, or healers of some kind, teachers, and counselors. Most of them are fascinated with life. Many keep gardens, or help stray animals.
Seraphs usually have natural power over light. If a Seraph is dedicated enough, they may give off a soft glow when surrounded by darkness.
(Upon reaching certain requirements, Seraphs may sprout wings, they cannot be used for flight, but they do provide a boost in power.)
Nephilim
A combination of a Daemon and a Seraph. Nephilims will occasionally be born with more than one natural ability. Nephilim may present with an ability over light, and some sort of elemental power, though the most common element for a Nephilim to develop is Wind. This is rather rare however. (In other words, talk to Admin;Tsunami about it before writing it into your app.)
(Upon reaching certain requirements, Nephilim may sprout wings, they cannot be used for flight, but they do provide a boost in power.)
Daemon
Most people actually do have Daemon blood in their line. Daemons are purely neutral creatures, they can use powers from either alignment, but they usually control elements. Daemons used to roam the world, much in the way that humans do now. Many were killed off or cast out for the things they could do.
Daemons will naturally have some sort of minor elemental control. If trained enough, this can grow into a full elemental power.
(Upon reaching certain requirements, Daemons may develop all sorts of different things. Wings, Fangs, Tails, Horns, animal ears, Markings, etc. These provide a boost in power.)
Furie
A combination of a Daemon and a Hellion. Furies will occasionally be born with more than one natural ability. Furies may present with an ability to see in the dark, and some sort of elemental power, the most common element for a Furie, would be Darkness. This is rather rare however. (In other words, talk to Admin;Tsunami about it before writing it into your app.)
(Upon reaching certain requirements, Furies may sprout fangs, horns, or strange skin tones, like red or gray. These provide a boost in power.)
Hellion
Hellions are what many people think demons are. Pure-blooded Hellions can possess humans. If a normal human bred with a possessed human, it would result in the line having Hellion blood. Most people with Hellion blood turn into some form of criminal or delinquent. They tend to be on the more shady side of things. Like lawyers, drug dealers, crime bosses, etc.
Hellions have power over darkness. They can see a bit better in the dark than most other creatures. If trained enough, they can Master Night Vision, and Umbralkinesis.
(Upon reaching certain requirements, Hellions may sprout fangs, horns, or strange skin tones, like red or gray. These provide a boost in power.)
Human
Humans have no powers upon birth. They can, however, be taught how to use magic by a Master in whatever power they are trying to learn. This must be purchased in the store. Humans are also fairly neutral. After they are granted a power, regardless of age, they must train with it for a very long time, as they have no natural connection to magic.
Pet
This is a little different of an option. You must already have another character before you can have a Pet. Pets are genetically altered experiments, made by Riku Tajiir. This means that they can have any combination of any blood. He uses and artificial genome sequence to cause all of the bloodlines to be compatible. Riku doesn't ever stop experimenting on them, though he usually doesn't do this himself. If your Pet has both Hellion and Seraph blood, they require a daily injection of a special serum to keep them stabilized.
Pets have two sub-categories to pick from. Loyal Pets, and Kindred Pets.
Loyal Pets:
These are Pets that are completely loyal to Riku. They moved with him to New Horizons after Luka took over. They would never think of leaving their master, and will do absolutely anything that he asks, no matter what it is.
Kindred Pets:
These are the Pets that remained with Luka, maybe even helped him take over and secure the labs. All newly interred Pets will wind up here. Even if Riku started on you, if you were in the process of being turned into a Pet when Luka took over, you'd belong to him.
Ex-Pet
This is a little different of an option. You must already have another character before you can have an Ex-Pet. Ex-Pets are the same as Pets, but these Pets have run away from Riku and his experiments. If your Ex-Pet has both Hellion and Seraph blood, your Ex-Pet will be completely unstable. This means a variety of things. Their powers could be out of control, they could be sick, or in pain all of the time, and their mental state could be deteriorating. If you have any other ways for them to be unstable, let Admin;Tsunami know, and I'll throw it in here.
Ethereals
This race is currently restricted to admins only.
Most to all ethereals share similar features. White hair, pink, magenta, or red eyes, a soft glow to their skin, and the fact that they seem to radiate power.
