The World of Abaranth
I live in a supernatural world. The main species are Werewolfs, Vampires, Witches, Faeries, and Darklings. Werewolfs, as I'm sure you know, are humans that shapeshift into very large wolves. They don't need a full moon or anything and first shift is between the ages of 14 and 18, Mates around found when you turn 18, soul mates are coveted and there so many rules around them I'll just mention the most important now, a mate is claimed when they are marked and well do the dirty if you know what I mean. They can scented, and this how most find their mates. There is only one mate per person, and to kill a wolf's mate is punishable by death unless in a pack war. Most wolves reside in Packs again way too many to mention, but again, we will list the most important. There are probably 5 big packs and all are managed by the council they are the government but anyway Moon Cresent, Midnight, Eclipse, Dark Night, Silver Light are the 5 packs they all have around 1500 in them and there are thousands of small packs that have around 300-800 members and of course there are rogues they don't belong to a pack and can go feral basically cannot turn back to their human form and are full blown animal.
But enough about Werewolfs now we go to Vampires the bloodsuckers need blod to live but don't need to kill people to survive, turning a human to Vamp is done but not as much as people think the Vampire population is much lower than Werewolfs they fought with Wolf's for a very long time and lost a great numbers now there is peace but they never fully recovered. Vamps are created by investing their blood orally or through an open wound, you then need to die by that Vampire and after a few days in a comatose state you'll wait up allergic to sunlight and very hungry for blood. Vamps can survive without blood, but this takes hundreds of years to accomplish. Apparently, I only know 1 vamp.
Witches are interesting they have magical power that they channel from an inner source of Mana they can grow their natural source of Mana through intense training and can perform different types of magic but are often naturally atuned to a specific type. There is nature and the ability to commune with nature and grow things and empaths, theu also can heal peopleThere is blood magic it can be dangerous but also useful. Blood magic is used in curses and tracing spells they also can control all persons' blood flow and can sense true intentions and often can heal people but is more limited than nature magic. Spirit users can commune with the dead and often can predict the future and read minds and can change memories and create and remove them. Elemental is the last form of magic used. The only element they have no effect over is earth they can, however, create and manipulate water, fire, and air. This can play into many things, and they can often fly and breathe unwater and are unable to be burned by fire.Mastering a magic gives the benefits mentioned if you use the ability causally there are some benefits that cannot be tapped into. Witches can be independent but also can live in covens, covens have a maximum of about 20-80 members. Smaller covens are much more common, and average coven has about 35-45 members. Witches have soulmates too well. Every species does, but the mating is different for witches and warlocks. They are known as Wiccan when referring to a collective or group.
Okay so Faeries and Darklings are interesting and also very secluded bunch you don't often run into them. The fae are are often tall lean with pointy ears and yes wings but they don't really show them to outsiders. They are also very beautiful creatures many have been bewitched by them, they honest and like witches have magic but it's somehow different and I can't really elaborate I don't know anything else they keep themselves hidden they do tend to live in grottos and near waterfalls no idea why. Darklings are made from shadow and are said to be born from demons that no longer live in our world. They can taint anyone the come across just by touching and open wound they often carry tainted blades, they are basically the boggie man under bed and terrify everyone. They live in the outskirts of our world but like Vampires cannot out in sunlight.
Basically Werewolfs are opposite to Vamps and Fae and Darklings are opposites and Witches balance the world having abilities or attributes of all species. Intense I know.
