There is a Carnival. Hellfire Carnival. Full of daring feats, freak shows never seen before anywhere else. A carnival where all of your fantasies can come to life. But there is a price. This carnival is not what it seems. These are no humans performing illusionary stunts for entertainment. This carnival is completely owned and operated by supernatural beings. Vampires, Werewolves, Vicious Fairies, Zombies, Sirens, Succubi, Incubi, you name it, they work here. They have one purpose, to feed off of the people that come to the shows. Of course, not all are eaten, oh no. They pick the more young, naive ones as their victims. And once the least bit of suspicion rises, Hellfire Carnival disappears, all memory of it seeming to have gone with it. But their next destination may prove difficult. Some of the beings are growing restless, wanting to explore life outside of their confines. Their Ringmaster, always one for tradition, is not too happy about this. And he has a plan to combat it. The next batch of young victims may be troublesome, while some may wish to join the ranks of the Greatest Show Unearthed...
Species:
Vampires- The Undead. Basically you're traditional vampires. Think Anne Rice and TrueBlood types. Bloodthirsty and vicious, but still eternally beautiful and alluring. They know this, and use it to their advantage.
Werewolves: These guys can go all fuzzy at any time they choose, but on the night of the full moon, the change is forced. There exists a hierarchy with them even within the carnival. They use their charisma to get people into their trap.
Fairies: Yes, beautiful, thin, creatures. But they're dangerous. These fairies are the type that eat mortals, and use their skills to get their attention. Their talents can vary from acrobatics to seers and anything in between.
Zombies: They desire the flesh of humans. Unlike Romero's zombies, these guys can speak, and even function in what humans would consider a "normal" way. They are constantly fighting their desire for human flesh though, and it takes others in the carnival to watch them closely so no outbreak occurs.Their victims are devoured completely when they feed.
Every other creature would function in their traditional ways. Use your imagination on whatever else you want to incorporate. Reasonable hybrids will be accepted, but very few.
