Werewolves Werewolves are powerful and fearsome creatures that are under the curse of lycanthropy. Every month, during the full moon, they change into mindless, bipedal beasts who want nothing more than to run and kill. Many of the older werewolves, or those who have acquired the skill, can force a change, but none can resist the moons call.
During the three day period each month for the full moon the werewolves in town are taken to below the church where there are thick stone chambers in which each werewolf is housed.
Shifters Shifters, much like the werewolves, are humans who can change into a beast. However, unlike werewolves, shifters were born with this ability and can change on will. They do not have the blind rage and need for the kill that the werewolves do, and while each shifter can only change into one animal, there are multitudes of animals that shifters can be.
Because they lack the wild ferocity of the werewolves and the innate need to change during the full moon, shifters are not forced into an isolation period every month. They are restricted from changing into their animal forms in public, and if caught in their animal form in their homes then they can be subject to isolation.
Vampires Perhaps one of the most dangerous creatures living in this town, the vampires are blood thirsty and many of the younger ones lack the control needed to live in public safely. They are quick and agile, as well as strong. They are unable to go out during the day and because of this they remain in their homes until night has fallen.
Without blood the vampires would die and so the guards keep the creatures under control in numerous ways, one of which being that they control their blood supply. Being that the vampires are separated from the rest of the town they are unable to attack one with out notice of the guards. Human blood is strictly forbidden and the vampires are forced to get use to drinking animal blood or die.
Witches When one thinks witches they tend to think lightening from the fingertips or floating books. Those are sorcerers. Witches are much more adapt in the study of herbs and plants to make potions, many of which require the psychic energies that only said witches are able to control. Many of these potions can be used for good, though some can be turned into poisons.
The witches are regulated closely since there has yet to be a way for someone else to control how a witch uses their psychic energies. They are not allowed to have herbs or plants in their own homes and only a few have been granted the license needed to create medicinal herbs for the hospital in the next town over. (Can be male or female)
Succubus The succubus is a woman who, knowingly or unknowingly, sucks the energy out of any man they connect with. This connection, depending on the strength of the succubus, can be anything from a simple touch on the skin to a hot and heavy love making session. The succubus has an energy about her that makes her almost irresistible to man, no matter the age, though her powers tend not to appear until she has reached 14 or 15 years of age.
A succubus is not allowed to be near any man. Female guards follow them around, they are not allowed to touch a person of the opposite gender, and if they are still in high school then they are in a class of all girls as well as a female teacher.
Elementals Elementals are possibly the most erratic of the species because their powers are controlled, mainly by their emotions. Their personality often reflects that of their element. A person who is hotheaded, has a temper, and is rash is most often a fire elemental. Those who are calm for the most part, but overly sensitive tend to be water elementals. Air elementals are often ditzy and giggling, often being the "class clown". Earth elementals are steadfast in their beliefs and strong, much like a tree, but they're surprisingly flexible.
To control their powers each elemental is taken through careful training, and anger management should they need it, and are given certain activities that help them exude the elemental energy within them.
Humans There are no civilians living within this town. There are the guards and their families. They have no super abilities and yet they hold control over all of the supernatural species that they live amongst them. Many of the guards who have children allow them to go to the same high school as these other species not because they wish for them to coexist peacefully, but so that there are an extra set of eyes on these creatures.
However, some of the human children have dropped their parents racist and extremist views and have befriended a few of the other species. This happens in complete secrecy, and while there are even fewer human adults who have done the same, there a small few guards who use their position to discuss the rebellion with the other species.
There is another set of humans placed up at the testing facility and they're only known by the guards. None of them live in Astrins Pointe, instead staying at the testing facility itself.
