Vampires
Vampires are blood-drinking former humans, risen from the dead to prey on the living, with a variety of diverse powers and abilities, individually and within society. The American vampires have divided the land into kingdoms, each state representing a monarchy controlled by a single lead vampire known as the King or Queen of the state. Each kingdom is then divided into areas (formerly known as fiefdoms) controlled by a sheriff who owes allegiances to the leader of the state.

The vampires announced on network television that they were actually present among humans (also known as the Great Revelation), an announcement that followed the Japanese development of synthetic blood that is able to maintain a vampire's life without needing to feed on human blood. In the mythology of the series, many nations refused to accept vampires as equal citizens, such as Bosnia, Argentina and many Islamic nations. The United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Japan and some Scandinavian countries adopted a more tolerant attitude.Though many vampires try to live among humans, they remain very secretive about their organization and government.

Vampires are pale and cold, extremely strong and fast, and have keen senses of hearing, smell and vision. They have the ability to remain completely still, expressionless and silent. Vampires can control the minds of humans, and a few can even fly. If a vampire and a human share blood with each other, it will form a blood bond, linking the pair's psyches. Their fangs come out when they are sexually aroused, excited, when they see blood or when they need to fight. A vampire is compelled to obey his or her maker (the vampire responsible for his or her transformation). Vampires are ageless and can survive and recover from most forms of physical injury, but will die if staked, exposed to sunlight or decapitated. Silver is also highly toxic to them. Unlike 'traditional' vampire mythology, a crucifix has no effect on vampires , holy water and garlic are merely an irritant, and they are able to enter places of worship or "holy-ground" such as a Church or Mosque as they please. However, they cannot enter a house if uninvited. Once they have been invited they can come and go as they please, but must exit if the invitation has been retracted.

Weres and Shapeshifters
Weres and shapeshifters can assume both human and animal forms. A variety of different types of weres and shapeshifters, including werewolves, werepanthers and weretigers. In this universe, a were-child (who will unwillingly transform upon exposure to a full moon) can be conceived when a mortal mates with either a "Shifter" or a "Were", but only pure couples (both Weres or both Shifters) conceive children that can change at will. Being bitten by a were can also transform a person unwillingly at full moons but a person must be bitten several times to accumulate growth. Shapeshifting conditions manifest in puberty.Shapeshifters can assume the form of any animal, but most often change to the same animal every time, usually a creature that they have a special affinity for. On the other hand, Wereanimals are those who can change to only one type of animal and they call themselves by that animal: Weredog or Werebat. Within the Shapeshifting and Weres community, the term "Were" is only reserved for the wolves. The Weres consider themselves superior within the shapeshifters, but they all cooperate with each other. Most of the two-natured beings organize themselves into packs; each pack is led by a packmaster.

Humans
There are the "Fangbangers," who are vampire lovers that are addicted to vampires and who enjoy having sex with them. Furthermore, demand for vampire blood has been growing in the black market, as the blood is a very addictive drug. Drainers are the humans who attack vampires in order to drain their blood, though it is a hazardous job. Drainers travel in teams, singling out vampires by a variety of methods and careful planned ambush. They bind vampires with silver chains and drain their blood into vials. Depending on the age of the blood (the time since it had been removed from its owner) and the age of the vampire from whom the blood has been removed, and the individual chemistry of the drug user, it could be worth quite a lot. In this universe, the effects of vampire blood in humans are a feeling of power, increased strength, acute vision and hearing, and most importantly, enhanced physical appearance.The results are notoriously unpredictable and vary per person lasting from weeks to months. Some people go mad when the blood hits their systems (sometimes homicidally mad). Vampires hate Drainers and they hate the users of the drained blood. A vial of blood could cost from $200 to $400 depending on the age of the vampire.Other humans have not accepted vampires as creatures of God, and organizations such as The Fellowship of the Sun are against vampires and their existence.

Fairies
Fairies are beautiful, with pointed ears, and glossy, thin skin.In this universe, fairies are extremely attractive to humans as well as vampires. Vampires have a hard time resisting fairies because of their smell and taste. Vampires say that fairies are hard to catch and they look at them the way a “chocoholic would look at chocolates.”Fairies can be killed with either lemons or iron. They normally inhabit the fey world, but there are portals and doorways between there and the human world.Physically, fairies are superhumanly strong and durable. They are also incredibly long-lived, though it is unknown if they are truly immortal. Those who have fairy blood in them but are not full-blooded fairies are immune to the effects of iron and lemon, while maintaining the attractive qualities of fairies.

Witches and Wiccans
A witch practices magic rituals, drawing from a power that most people never tap into. A Wiccan, on the other hand, follows a religion, a pagan religion that follows the ways of the Mother. Practitioners can be both wiccan and a witch, or more one or the other.
