xx. Species Guide
You may have realised quickly that this is a roleplay which involves more species than just the usual humans, vampires, witches and werewolves.
We allow any species on this site provided they are not ridiculously strong and have weaknesses! What the admin deem as appropriate is what goes. We accept various kinds of preexisting species; for example, some werewolves shift by the full moon. Others shift at will.
Our only major rule is that your species is not all powerful; it must have weaknesses and these must be detailed in your biography. Also, you must detail the species in the biography. Even if your species is a vampire or other well-known creature, due to the amount of various vampire sub-species (types), you must include details!
I will use 'it' to refer to the species because I am not referring specifically to the character and it keeps this page gender-neutral.
We must know in your biography:
It would also be nice to read about its habits (territorial, does it live in groups or packs etc, does it migrate, can it breed, its life-span, are they war-like).
Some examples of species (but the site is NOT limited to):

xx. If from Earth, what time period, if the species no longer exists or won't until the future?
xx. How its powers work (to an extent; let's not get overly technical). Does it shift by the full moon? Does magic rely on outside sources?
xx. Do others of this species exist or is your character the last of their kind?
