I predict some confusion about the races in the near future. To avoid any possible confusion I am providing a description of the races and their weaknesses, as well as any extra information. This will explain the limits to what the race is restricted as well as the capabilities. Some members may dispute the descriptions but I assure you it is necessary. This thread is being created to maintain a balance between the races. These descriptions have been researched as well as approved by the Vice Captains .
Lycans:
They seem to be Haim that have been genetically modified through to much exposure to Silverwood over generations, their skills are unknown, their lifespan is unknown, they are pale in appearance with silver hair and silver eyes. The only one known to exist appears to reside in Tel Hai.
Before the beginning of recorded past when the world was first created the Gods that formed the world made a perfect reflection, a perfect image of themselves only mortal. They were made perfect not bound by the laws of humanity, they could think extraordinarily, they had speed and strength that rivaled the Gods themselves. Moreover Many ancients had mystic runes inscribed into them, each rune able to summon a guardian to aid them in battle. Ancient Hebraic texts describe these figures as the 'Sons of God' the beings that did not fail. Also known as the great architects they were ones who built the Lost city of Atlantis.
To guard the Ancients from the unruly world and the demons that laid there the Gods created a great and powerful Guardian known as Leviathan it was the perfect weapon against any attack its might measured into the heavens rivaling the Gods themselves. Through the years ambitions raised within the great empire of the ancients all wanted power and the right to reign over their surroundings having others under them. They struggled over power and politics wanting to use the strength of the Leviathan as a weapon against each other just to gain an edge.
The struggle angered their Guardian bringing its wrath upon them, in a final battle the ancients banded together to fight the wrath of their Guardian using all of their technology, military, and sciences to combat the Leviathan hoping that they would bide the tides of it's wretched wrath. In that battle, the Leviathan was struck falling to the great sea. Hope was deferred however for with a last devastating attack on the corrupt civilization the Leviathan used all of its power to sink the Ancients last city Atlantis under the great oceans.
Few have survived that last battle, but a descendant line has been remade. They are starting to gather once more, but who knows if they will learn from the mistakes of their past or not.

Lycans:
Lycan is short for lycanthrope. Lycans have ties with shapeshifters through an ancient connection. Commonly mistaken for werewolves, lycanthropes are capable of controlling themselves in their changed form to a certain extent; dependent upon their level of power and age. Younger lycans can transform but they have far less control over themselves verses an older lycan. The transformation can occur at any given time but only for a set period of time. The time within the transformation varies depending upon age, blood lines, and abilities. There is also a resting period in between transformations; again this is dependent upon the lycan. Lycans are able to wield magic but cannot master it. They rely mainly on instinct and their own natural abilities. Their main weakness is silver. If a wound is made from another supernatural creature, the wound will heal slower. Lycans can only be killed by decapitation and having their heart removed.
Full-Blooded Lycan: A pure blooded lycan is born between two lycan parents. They have superior strength, speed, senses, and abilities which increase upon transformation. Pure Blood
Half-Blooded Lycan: A half blood occurs whenever one parent is lycan and the other is human or another race. This also occurs whenever a human is bitten. They have all the benefits of a pure blood; however, they will always be inferior. Half Blood

Humans:
The human race shouldn't require an explanation, but it does require some clarification. Humans may posses one ability. The leader of the humans is allowed to possess two abilities. Humans are allowed to have technology as long as they can develop it (i.e. swords, catapults, bows, and crossbows). The Crimson Underground is secluded from the rest of the world; as a result, it exists in a time period similar to Medieval Times. Humans are unable to resist disease and sickness at the same level as the other races; due to this, they can develop advanced medicine to fight off illness.
Vampires:
Vampires are unable to withstand sunlight; they do not sparkle in the sun, the simply incinerate. They require regular feeding of blood in order to sustain themselves. They have heightened abilities similar to the lycantropes; however, there are differences. Vampires tend to develop more intelligent minds. They are not as attuned to the senses as lycantropes and shapeshifters. Not all vampires possess the ability to use the Dark Arts; the only ones capable of this feat are the five founders of the Crimson Underground. They are able to use normal magic; they can even master it, but they will never be as successful as the elves. Vampires can only be killed by sunlight, holy weapons, or the removal of heart and head.
Half Vampires: The abilities of a half blood are lesser than a full blood. They are able to consume food, go into sunlight, and reproduce. These are created once a human is bitten by a vampire.

Elves
Elves live primarily within the forest as they thrive on the life of nature. They have a very high affinity to advanced magic and can master it easily. They are very nimble and durable, to an extent. The elves have an extraordinary sense of sight and sound. They can master archery with ease. The elves do not have a lot of power; they rely more on speed and accuracy as well as reflexes. They are unable to take a high amount of damage.
Demons:
Demons are fallen angels; morphed by their own corruption and sin. Most have given up on redemption and wish to destroy heaven. Demons may have oddly colored skin from the high amounts of sulfur, heat, and lack of sunlight in their home. Most creatures are unable to remain within their area for long. Not all have wings but if they do they are ripped and torn. They have unreasonable amounts of hatred towards angels and are jealous of humans. The weakness of a demon lies within it's wings. The wings are connected to the lungs by tiny nerve endings. If the wings are ripped out, their lungs will collapse, and they will die. Demons have increased agility, strength, and spirit. The aura they give off will make the majority of creatures stubble to their knees in fear. The appearance of the demon may change based on it's skills. (i.e. fighter, magic wielder, seeker)
Angels:
Creatures that are created from the most powerful being without our universe. The identity of this being is unknown. Angels have all of the abilities that demons possess. They all naturally have the ability to heal and purify. They struggle to maintain a balance and peace within the world. The number of wings shows their rank and power. The greater the number, the higher the rank in the heavenly choir. All angels have wings unless they are in another form. The wings give them the same weakness as the demons. The aura they produce is one of comfort and serenity. They are beautiful beyond all compare and they tend to be a bit envious of humans.
Dragons:
Dragons are some of the oldest creatures in existence, older than God some might say. They command respect from every being within the underground. Dragons have scales with the strength of titanium, ordinary weapons cannot penetrate it. They come in all shapes and sizes, their colors might change based on the environment they hale from. Due to being hunted they mainly live in the mountain ranges of the Crimson Underground. Some dragons are able to morph into human forms, they are only vulnerable to magic in this state. They breath fire and some may breath ice and poison. If confronted with combat they will lash out with their teeth, claws, and tails. The spikes along the base of their spine make for nice weapons as well.
Shapeshifter
Shapeshifters are probably some of the most unique creatures within the underground. Whenever shapeshifters first change and for the earliest years of their life, they are only able to have one form--their original form. Upon increasing their skill and abilities they are slowly able to change into all forms of animals. A human form is the original and default form but the same can be said about their other forms of appearance. Their weapons and weakness will all change based upon the form they take.
Fay:
Next to dragons, the fay is the second oldest race to date--they were discovered around the same time as the earliest elf. Fay have razor sharp teeth and fangs. They have colorful skin, similar to the shapes of mother of pearl within clams and oysters. They sparkle with radiance and beauty. Even the males have a feminine appearance. There are many different types of fay, some may have wings and some may not. The majority are known for their trickery and mischief. They are highly weak to silver, if impaled with it their insides may liquefy. They do not envy and do not ally with those they consider to be unattractive or unworthy.
Haim:
Hiam are "humans" from the realm of Tel Hai. They are very similar to humans but have a few differences. Unlike humans they are anle to use a lot more of their brain. At any one time a Haim can use up to sixty percent of their brain, if the skill is developed they can use their mind to the full capacity. This means that their speed, and and perception are far beyond that of a normal human. Haim age far more slowly than normal humans, they also live much longer lives. 24.4 human years is the equivalent of One Hiam year. They are immune to flora based poison. Hiam have features than normal humans could never possess. Hiam's maybe born with eyes the color of maeko green, orange, yellow, and indigo. It also isn't uncommon for Hiam to have natural platinum colored hair.
Silvarians:
They seem to be Haim that have been genetically modified through to much exposure to Silverwood over generations, their skills are unknown, their lifespan is unknown, they are pale in appearance with silver hair and silver eyes. The only one known to exist appears to reside in Tel Hai.
The Ancients
Before the beginning of recorded past when the world was first created the Gods that formed the world made a perfect reflection, a perfect image of themselves only mortal. They were made perfect not bound by the laws of humanity, they could think extraordinarily, they had speed and strength that rivaled the Gods themselves. Moreover Many ancients had mystic runes inscribed into them, each rune able to summon a guardian to aid them in battle. Ancient Hebraic texts describe these figures as the 'Sons of God' the beings that did not fail. Also known as the great architects they were ones who built the Lost city of Atlantis.
To guard the Ancients from the unruly world and the demons that laid there the Gods created a great and powerful Guardian known as Leviathan it was the perfect weapon against any attack its might measured into the heavens rivaling the Gods themselves. Through the years ambitions raised within the great empire of the ancients all wanted power and the right to reign over their surroundings having others under them. They struggled over power and politics wanting to use the strength of the Leviathan as a weapon against each other just to gain an edge.
The struggle angered their Guardian bringing its wrath upon them, in a final battle the ancients banded together to fight the wrath of their Guardian using all of their technology, military, and sciences to combat the Leviathan hoping that they would bide the tides of it's wretched wrath. In that battle, the Leviathan was struck falling to the great sea. Hope was deferred however for with a last devastating attack on the corrupt civilization the Leviathan used all of its power to sink the Ancients last city Atlantis under the great oceans.
Few have survived that last battle, but a descendant line has been remade. They are starting to gather once more, but who knows if they will learn from the mistakes of their past or not.
