Welcome to Dementophobia: Love Me Tenderly (DPLMT)!
From every angle a new creature walks by, sometimes strutting, fluttering, or even teleporting in the blink of an eye. A beautiful sight to see, perplexing and quite queer inevitably yet people cannot help but be drawn into the mystery of it all as they let it engulf them whole.
In this peaceful land, where of course evil lurks somewhere, crisis lingers on the down low because it does not effect a giant mass. Each happening tends to effect a group then gets told to the others who make it sound more like a rumor than a horrid truth.
Welcome to a fantasy land where the plants are still green yet not everything is perfect. Where people are more likely to talk casually with strangers but racism, sexism, etc. hides behind closed doors. The good doers attempt to make it cease only to find the sinister villians already plotting against it. A casual balance...
Then in the middle lies the neutral parties who could care less so long as they aren't involved. They rather let their lives linger on however they see it fit.
Angels are heavenly beings, go figure, that usually can’t comprehend how someone can do any form of evil especially humans who sin so often. Occasionally it has been reported that angels followed along with what the humans do just to experience and attempt to understand what exactly is going through their heads when they choose to sin instead of embrace morality but it is very rare being as angels are too afraid to tempt in damnation and follow in Lucifer’s footsteps by going against what the believe is God’s will. These beings a premature compared to other creatures, who were born in the time of the Mother such as Ancient Elves and Watsubaku. Though you were rarely ever find an angel who will admit to not being the first beings ever made thus it’s hard to find a human who will believe this as well. How could the angels possibly have not been first? Yet in this world it’s true that they were inevitably about third or fourth in the making of the earth when it came to multi-celled organisms that were as complex as humans. Though if you went by living beings then of course angels were maybe the twentieth or so made. Angels do have the wings they are so often seen with BUT unlike what you would think humans and other newer beings can not see them. Ancient Elves, Watsubaku, demons, Guardians, hellspawns, and Horned Children can. The others are too new to be able to see them. An angel can reveal their wings to the younger creatures but it is unlikely being as there is the possibility of perminately blinding them. Because of this angels AVOID humans at all cost because they are the youngest creatures and can’t quite handle looking at them. This doesn’t mean all older creatures can not come into contact with humans. Angels, for some reason, don’t know how to control their powers thus avoiding the “lesser” being is easier.
Angels usually…. -are egotistical -think they were made first -believe God was the first God, most often they don’t believe there are any others -avoid humans -hate demons and hellspawns -want to try and help the younger creatures from their “sin” -try to help people in general -think that you are born good and turn evil -stereotype -light colors such as blonde hair, blue eyes. They won’t EVER have black hair or red eyes unless they are a halfling of a race that has that which is still unlikely because angels traits tend to be more dominant.
How long do they live? Pretty damned long! The only things that can kill an angel are the older creatures or special weapons made by some God or Goddess. Otherwise it is unlikely for an angel to die. Though it IS possible for an angel to get sick so don’t think you can’t!
Can they have offspring? Yes but it’s VERY unlikely being as sex before marriage is a sin according to the Bible and many angels avoid marriage. No one is quite sure why but they do. How are they made?
By God or by dying as THAT good of a person. The only other angel is a guardian angel which is really a good spirit watching over loved ones. Otherwise an angel would have to have sex in which the offspring is unlikely to be as powerful unless angels run off with an Ancient Elf or something which is too rare to be possible being as there’s VERY few of those left.
//Demons
They were NOT made along side angels. No one is quite sure how demons came around but they vary in shape and size. Most often they are an animal mixed with a human such as a cat demon. They are NOT the “devils” with horns and bat wings, those are hellspawns. Most often demons are seen in forests but now they venture to the cities, especially the main city. The main city is FILLED with demons left and right because it’s a place that actually accepts them. They usually hide their demons parts with clothes or spells because of this. Really, who wants to be ridiculed? I would explain what they look like but it really varies on what kind of demon they are. Such as a cat demon with have cat ears, cat tail, fangs, and longer nails. They would also have catlike abilities such as sensitive hearing, ultra senses, etc.
Demons usually… -hate humans because out of ALL the creatures they torment them the most -avoid human cities -end up hating other demons depending on their type -are more angsty then most How long do they live? It varies, I can’t really say. They live longer than humans though. So it isn’t uncommon to see a demon that is over 100. Though they don’t usually age very fast as in wrinkles. Most demons won’t have wrinkles until they are ninety. So many people will come to their funeral thinking they were young when in reality they lived a long life.
Can they have offspring? Uh, der. There’s TONS of demons across the land.
How are they made? By having sex. Nothing more.
//Elves
Geez! This one varies by type of elf which there is THREE.
ANCIENT ELVES Barely any Ancient Elves still exist and if they do they will more than likely live where Musho is because he is one of the oldest ones left. All Ancient Elves have black hair and green eyes, no acceptions. Sometimes their offspring may have different colors but it’s rare to even see an Ancient Elf so how rare do you think seeing their OFFSPRING is? Many Ancient Elves died in an attack by demons thousands of years ago where their Chosen One chose to open up the barrier that protected them from the world in an attempt to find her princess, the one she was chosen to protect. In the end only about 5-10 people lived. Many traumatized. Plenty of the people died shortly after even if they escaped resulting in Musho only believing his family survived because he never met another living Ancient Elf other than his sister, brother, nieces, and nephew. Besides Sayoki and her children, they tend to be HIGHLY religious in the faith of the Mother. Or at least they used to be. It seems Musho is the only believer other than his followers who are not ALL Ancient Elves. There’s plenty of other races following in his footsteps. But believe me when I say this race is RARE. So if I don’t accept your character that’s why. I am going to be extremely picky with them. Their ears are also much longer than the other elves. Thus they hearing is VERY sensitive. They also have some powers but not too much and it varies on the person.
FOREST ELVES Forest elves live in forest elf cove, go figure. They are commonly known as “light elves” due to being the exact opposite of dark elves. They rarely ever leave the forest unless they have to just because they prefer the nature around them compared to the city life. They ALWAYS have light colors that tend to be EARTH tone such as blonde and light brown hair with green or blue eyes. Nothing like orange or yellow. They also wear linen made of natural resources such as trees. Rarely ever do they reveal themselves in fear of getting hurt after hearing all of the horrid news from the outside world. They have the smallest elf ears.
DARK ELVES Well, are dark. They usually have dark brown or black hair. Red, brown, etc. eyes. Everything about them is dark. Most often they wear black, no one is sure as to why but they do. There’s some that don’t. They tend to live in the mountains, not led by a Guardian. Mountains untamed that give off an eery sense of back off. Not much is known about these elves besides their looks. They tend to avoid social activity. Also their ears are pointier than the others.
Elves usually… -fit the description I gave. There’s NOTHING in common that I can put here.
How long do they live? Ancient Elves: THOUSANDS of years. They can die of natural causes but they only age normally in a barrier made by the Mother such as Musho’s barrier. Note that they HATE living forever. They want to age normally thus MANY Ancient Elves live in Musho’s barrier instead of roaming around. Forest elves: Live the same as humans. Die the same as humans. They just don’t get wrinkles as fast thus look younger. Dark elves: Same as above statement for forest elves.
Can they have offspring? All of them can have offspring but Ancient Elves got killed off so fast that it is rare to see any.
How are they made? Sex.
//Elementals
Their looks and actions very but it always fits their element. Such as a fire elemental will more than likely have red hair or orange eyes, something like that. Elementals control ONE element, not twenty. Please keep to that. No one is quite sure how they are made but other than their colors they pretty much look human. Some of them will have slight elf ears but nothing more.
Elementals usually… -reflect their element…
How long do they live? Same as humans.
Can they have offspring? Yep, it’s called sex.
How are they made? Sex but because your parent is an elemental doesn’t mean that you will end up being an elemental. I suppose you could call it a mutation in the genes. The only other way an elemental can be made is if one of the Gods or Goddesses chooses to bestow the power upon someone.
//Guardians
Are ONLY played by my friend Michelle because they are HER creations. Thus I don’t feel a big need to describe them especially right now. I will put a description eventually so you can understand them better.
Guardians usually… -guard what Michelle says they guard.
How long do they live? I believe it’s varies on what race they are. So a human Guardian would live shorter than an elven one… I think, don’t hold me to it.
Can they have offspring? Yes but that doesn’t mean they are Guardians.
How are they made? They are chosen… somehow.
//Halflings
Well, there’s not too much to describe. Halflings are just mutts, really. Such as if a human and a demon have a baby, tada! Halfling. The only BIG halfling that’s different then just jumbling genes is the Horned Child halfling which will be described in the Horned Child section.
Halflings usually… -are mutts… cause that’s what they are.
How long do they live? Depends on the combination of genes. A halfling of an Ancient Elf will live longer than one of a human. Ancient Elf + human = baby lives longer than human. Human + demon = lives somewhere in the middle.
Can they have offspring? Yep…
How are they made? Well, when two races decide to have a baby…
//Healers
Are not really a race. They are just humans or other races that have the power to heal people. There’s nothing else special about it other than they can heal.
Healers usually… -are human. No one is sure why but it is more common to see a human healer.
How long do they live? Depends on their race.
Can they have offspring? Yep doesn’t mean they’ll be a healer though.
How are they made? No one is sure, actually.
//Hellspawns
ALWAYS have horns, bat wings, devil tail, fangs, longer nails, and are grumpy. Why grumpy? Well they had to sell themselves for some reason! The most notorious hellspawn is none other than Gabriel otherwise known as Christopher “Chrono” Gabriel amongst the people who knew him before he changed. He is the demon who lives in the shack on the outskirts of the main city that the majority of people conclude he kidnapped people but they never do anything about it. He rarely ever comes out of his little shack to begin with so there’s really no proof if he did or didn’t do anything. Barely anyone knows him but he is infamous and tends to be in the newspaper often. Unlike Gabriel, most hellspawns actually serve the devil instead of just live forever in angst. So if you choose to be a hellspawn you will be getting PMs of what your mission from the devil is. Never will you SEE the devil but the PMs will be your missions and you must follow them as such.
Hellspawns usually… -hate people -were suicidal -hate life -do exactly as the devil tells them to -ignore people -are socially inactive
How long do they live? Forever. Unless the devil decides to kill them. It is possible to be killed otherwise but no one is sure how.
Can they have offspring? Yes, they aren’t dead but no one is sure if they become a hellspawn as well.
How are they made? By making a deal with the devil. ANYONE can become one.
//Horned Children
Horned Children are a very complicated race especially since they are from a completely different planet known as Plataryon. No one is sure what their race's name actually is but Horned Children caught on when the summoners continuously called them by that name due to their entire being being revolved around their horns. The older they are the longer the horns are. Some can grow to six feet long yet they still stand perfectly fine!
Though Horned Children are rather powerful and could easily fly away due to their wings they got stuck as slaves for the summoners due to a ritual they perform. Whoever hacks off their horns they HAVE to marry. The ritual proves their dedication to the other one. One that they are willing to let go of their pride (which Horned Children are very prideful though some lost their pride due to slavery) to someone they truly love and the other who cuts the horns accepts that they are willing to be there forever being as that whatever length they cut the horns makes the other that age. Though it doesn't take them long to age back depending on how much of the horns were cut off. It usually takes a couple weeks. The couple being forever loyal to each other. The summoners abused this and just hacked off their horns then used them as slaves.
Now for the complicated parts. Horned Children are usually born one at a time and have brown hair and either brown eyes. Sometimes blue. Twins, though rare, have different colors. One is known as the evil twin and the other the good twin. Good twin having blonde hair, blue eyes, etc. while the evil one has black hair and green eyes. Green eyes are viewed as evil amongst this race. Now this is where halflings can get screwed. ALL halflings are born with red hair but they are accepted on their eyes. If they have green eyes then the Horned Children will completely reject the mutt from their clan, claiming they are evil. Otherwise they are accepted though some of them may make fun of them.
Horned Children usually… -have brown hair unless a twin or halfling -hate summoners -fear being enslaved -are prideful -avoid social interactions with anyone that isn't a Horned Child
How long do they live? No one is quite sure but halfings age faster than normal Horned Children. For every year they are three years older in their body. Their mind tends to stay behind. Though halflings are extremely intelligent, they are usually dumb socially.
Can they have offspring? Yep.
How are they made? Sex.
//Humans
Welp… being as you are a human I don’t feel a need to explain them. I don’t want to see humans with crazy colors, that’s for sure. No blue hair unless it’s DYED in which you must explain that it is DYED and tell me what the original color was. Most humans live in the human area where they don’t tend to know the other races exist. Unless you live outside of the human city, you are naïve to the rest of the world.
Humans usually… -don’t know how the rest of the world is -think only they exist -act like us!
How long do they live? You know… as long as a normal human does.
Can they have offspring? Well, can we? I think we can.
How are they made? When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much…. Or some people are really horny and don’t wear condoms… I think you get the idea.
//Other
Welp, how can I explain this one? Wait! I can’t. This is whatever race you want to be that’s NOT on here.
//Summoners
The Summoners were once a great people. They lived for centuries in peace and protection of the world. Once a quiet isolated race, now no longer so. Corrupition started not in the branch of the tree, but deep within its roots. That is, slowly, Summoners began to use their immense powers for evil. And once they learned of the Hunting Ritual of cutting the Horned Ones horns, life would never be the same again. The Summoners then as a whole, enslaved the Horned Ones. But in every case there are extremities.
Everyone celebrated a Summoner's coming of age. Before the destruction of the City, and before the excommunication of Kari Izumi and Thaella, the Summoners Chosen Guardian, each Summoner was granted a main summon from the Gods. These summons were often once great people, warriors, and or mages, that had chosen to sacrifice their afterlife, in order to help future generations. However, as a whole, Summoners only used these "Guardians" for destruction and evil deeds. The teachings to befriend this spirit died off when the corruption started. And with the fleeing of the Heir to the Summoner Throne, the Gods, and their Avatars, deserted the Summoner City, never to return. Many other races consider this a foreshadowing to the Summoners' downfall, and duely so. Not many races survive after their dieties desert them. Very few Summoners to this day have their Spirits. Most chose to leave their Chosen bereft once the Gods vanished. However, if a Summoner had befriended this special part of their own soul, the Guardian Spirits could choose to stay.
The Summoner's had several physical characteristics that set them apart from others. The majority of the had piercing green eyes, not many could figure out why it was green. But it dealt with the magic involved with summoning. And should a Summoner be born with any color eyes other than green, it soon changed after the first few summonings. The major feature of course, was the Summoner's communal device with the Summon. The Horn of a Summoner. This horn, riveted like the horn of the Unicorn, is usually not very big. The horn itself, grew depending on ones social rank. A noble summoner, such as King or Queen or Heir to the throne, could have a horn several feet long, where as a simple peasant would be a few inches if that.
The Summoner City was destroyed a bit later. Rumour circulates the lands of the adventures of a hot tempered Horned One, Haku, and a fiery maiden. Through their uncommon bond and powers, they were able to seek revenge and free the Horned Ones. Both mysterious characters are considered heroes by some, villians by others. Not many know what happened to these two people responsible for the death of the Summoner City, but word has it, that a hot wind blows through the ruins, with whispers of anguish, pain, despair, and even hope for a better place, and love.
Summoners usually… -avoid public appearances being as they get called slave owners How long do they live? Just like a human.
Can they have offspring? Yep. How are they made? Sex.
//Vampires
No one is sure of their origin but they are dark creatures that can live in the light, only made by other vampires through a bite. A halfling can NEVER be half vampire, it’s impossible. Many of them have blood dolls which are other races that let them suck blood from them.
Also, my vampires go off of the novels written by Anne Rice. Thus they cannot be killed be a stake, cannot go in the sun, can talk telepathically but only to other vampires who are NOT their children, aren't affected by garlic or crucifixes, they need blood to survive but it doesn't have to be human (just tastier that way...)... etc.
Read Vampire Properties, gifts, etc. Note that the characters from these books will NOT be mentioned at all unless your character has read the book, nothing more. NO KNOWS THE ORIGINS OF THE VAMPIRES FOR THIS.
Vampires usually... -suck blood from humans (can from animals too) -have sex a lot -are horny bastards -tease -stalk people -are changed unwillingly -stop caring about gender roles
How long do they live? No one is sure but people assume forever. They can be killed by fire and the sun.
Can they have offspring? Uh, hell no. Vampires are DEAD. That means sperm is DEAD and eggs are DEAD.
How are they made? Being bitten by other vampires and making a blood exchange such as they bite you, they suck blood, they let you bite them, you suck, tada! Vampire. You can NOT be turned into a vampire by just being bit.
//Watsubaku
ARE THE RAREST RACE OF THEM ALL THUS I WILL BE THE MOST PICKY WITH THEM. They are pretty much ancient witches they look damned close to human but live longer. By using their ancient tongue they can cast spells and do ANYTHING but sadly the records were burned thus it has to go off of memory or just babbling until they are written out again. The most known Watsubaku is Alilyn Garumai because of the fact that she was the soul heir to the throne and the last of the royal family to survive. The city was destroyed in a fire where it is pretty much assumed only Alilyn survived. If there’s other Watsubaku they ALL know of Alilyn even though she was only about nine or so when the rest of her race was killed. Not much else is known. Watsubaku usually…. -don’t remember their spells How long do they live? It is assumed forever.
Can they have offspring? Yes. How are they made? Sex.
//Were
Race turned into a half animal. If they were already an animal demon that just means you are forced to change into that animal at a full moon! Isn’t that AWESOME? You can not be more than one animal without already being an animal demon in which you will gain some of the were features but mainly keep your own. You will also change into the were side but when changing back have your features. As a were you will ALWAYS look like yourself until you transform. Weres usually…. -look pretty damned normal -change by being bit -change at a full moon -if they like being a were and passing it everywhere then they are competitive with vampires How long do they live? Same as their original species.
Can they have offspring? Yes… no one is sure if they become a were as well though. How are they made? Being bit.
//Witches/Wizards
Are like what you would think they would be. They are humans that can cast spells. Not out of nowhere, there has to be some kind of chant. Very simple. Witches/wizards usually…. -are human How long do they live? Varies on race.
Can they have offspring? Yes. How are they made? Sex.
