Premise:
In the mountainous seaside coast of Ushio City, a shadowy gang war is ravaging a local high school(Ushio High) behind the scenes. Students and staff have gone missing, without a trace or any explanation; as well as a rising rate in city damage. With no real answers, some in the community have claimed that these recent incidents could be the cause of rivaling spirits-- shape-shifting wolves and vampires. A modern-day Shaman organization of spirit hunters has been tasked to solve this mystery and intervene in the bloody feud between two ancient factions.
The Wolves:
The Ainu people once revered a mighty wolf spirit, hundreds of years ago, asking him to protect their villages from neighboring enemies and angry spirits. When it was time for the wolf spirit to leave them, he promised to leave them protectors, so that the people(and their land) may continue to be protected. For one night, the wolf spirit became a mortal human and wedded a righteous woman from the Ainu people, so that she may carry his offspring for future generations.
Man and beast, these wolf-hybrids walk the lands as both, capable of shape-shifting at will. Each is born with the power to control one of Earth's elements: fire, water, earth, and air. A wolf pack is led by a single alpha male, who can be challenged at any time for the position. Wolf bites or scratches do not transform humans into wolves.
The Vampires:
Forced out of Eastern Europe by tribulations, swathes of immortal refugees sought out a new beginning in Japan. While the common person associate bats with vampires, these beautiful creatures are closer to butterflies in characteristics. Vampires who have gone through metamorphosis(after being bitten or birth), will acquire retractable wings and fangs soon after the process; also acquiring abilities, such as: control over insects, superhuman strength, psychic powers, paralysis, and hypnosis.
A swarm is led by a matriarch, and only she can choose potential candidates to convert into their fold. While vampires are strongest at night, they are most sensitive during daylight and are only at half-strength. As such, they avoid bright areas during this time and cover modestly to protect themselves from irritable exposure to sunlight.
Rules:
-Regular rules apply.
-Must RP as either Wolf, Vampire, or a Shaman Spirit Hunter.
