In this RPG, we are in the modern day Human World.
Here’s the story:
There is a world where the supernatural rule, apart from the human world.
A world empowered by mystic gems and pearls.
The gems, called Satinka Stones, are rampant in their world; they’re everywhere, but the pearls…
Humans, on their world, have always treasured pearls. The lustrous play of light across the surfaces of genuinely perfect pearls—it is so attractive that people have paid small and large fortunes for them, spent years growing them, searching for them, harvesting them, and selling them even though they have no human use except adornment! However, when black pearls are near Satinka Stones, they release energy—energy the supernatural need to thrive. In our world, the supernatural beings are hidden most of the time. They do not have the security or power brought on by the stones, but in the supernatural world… magick rules the land.
The stones absorb magick from the earth and are created when the magick takes a physical form, much like how crystals are used to harvest energy. Since the earth is constantly charged with magickal energy, the stones will never run out.
The pearls start as an irritation. A pest that the oyster coats with nacre to lessen the annoyance. It is the nacre that activates the Satinka Stones.
The larger the pearl, the more nacre.
But the pearls were cracking faster than they were growing in the supernatural world.
The problem had been ignored for centuries, until it was too late.
The pearls were nearly gone. Without them, the Satinka stones were useless, and without the stones, the supernatural world seemed to fade.
Magick was harder to use, children were born powerless and defenseless, and everything they believed in and lived by started to crumble.
They needed pearls untouched by the hands of any sentient being. Such pearls were rare in both worlds, but the humans had practically stopped harvesting the True Pearls, and instead went after making their own.
The supernatural leaders thought up a plan… if they could take the pearls from the human world, they would give the oysters in their world time to grow pearls.
They only needed a few… even if they were collected one at a time, it would work, but going to the human world was beyond dangerous. The supernatural beings there were not as strong nor practiced, and forbid magick being used openly. The humans were terrifying creates—destroyers of anything they didn’t wish to understand… they could not know about this mission. If at all possible, the humans were to be left out unless a truly accidental discovery happened, or if their aid was vital.
Any human that discovered the plan would have to be incorporated, if only to keep their mouth shut.
The council, leaders of the supernatural world, met to decide how this could be done… just getting to the human world took extreme effort, and would waste an entire pearl each person… but it had to be done.
The solution was not a pleasant one. They decided they could not send an army, or even a task force.
They needed to send a… rather small team.
1 werewolf
&
1 witch.
However, they would not be completely alone there… rumors had spread about a vampiress who had left the supernatural world long ago. She had been wicked, determined to destroy their world.
And, rumors had it, she knew about the lack of True Pearls.
And so our adventure begins.
We are in the human world. So try to be as mindful to that as you can. People don’t openly use magick or shift out in the open, do they? Think; have you ever seen it? No, that’s the challenge. As anyone who checks my profile will know, I’m a published author, and RPGs are something used as practice quite often by many, many writers! That’s what we’re doing ^_^ This will teach you how to use existing rules and find ways to still have a supernatural character. And have fun with it! It’s kind of like a secret mission!
For this RPG we are not assigning characters, really. But after you create a character bio and all that, it must be approved by both Ravyn, and Robin.
We do have some notes about allowable races.
You can be any supernatural being you wish, but here’s a guide along with alliance. The more caps, the stronger the alliance probability.
Demon: Evil (though, for a good reason we’ll accept a nice demon) would most likely be working with the vampiress. Demons don’t have many powers—except that they can impersonate other people, or even possess them.
Alliance: EVIL
Werewolves: Shift only on a full moon, unless with the werewolf from the supernatural world, then you can feed off their energy.
Alliance: GOOD/Evil.
Witches: If you know anything about true wicca this would be helpful. Ever read sweep? Witches can scry (use a spell and a scrying stone, water, fire, mirror, etc. to see things), cast witch fire (it’s fire, but it’s limited and only burns a person trying to harm the witch) cast some spells (no teleporting, please. I truly dislike teleportation. And no “I control the storm!” … I just dun like it. Basically, you can cast everything real witches can (yes, there are real witches on earth both IRL and in this RPG, they’re just not always what you think. Same with vampires) If you have questions, PM AbdallaDiyer.
Alliance: Good/Evil
Vampires: Yes, we’re allowing them. You are stuck to the Dracula rules. You cannot be in daylight, you can shift into a wolf (looks like an average wolf) or a flock of bats (pick 1). You drink blood, you’re immortal, great eyesight, don’t forget about the coffins. You CAN choose to be half vampire and avoid the coffins, but then you don’t get to shift.
Alliance: EVIL/good
Shapeshifters: You can turn into an animal! An animal that exists on earth and isn’t extinct… yes, you can be a panda shapeshifter. 1 animal. Some people like to shift to demi forms, which are halfway between the animal and a human, that is allowed, but they cannot let the humans know what they are.
Alliance: GOOD/evil.
Dragons: When you die, your wings turn to ash and blow away, your body/bones age millions of years in a matter of hours so no one will know you are a dragon, they’ll think you’re a dinosaur. What are dragons in this RPG? Sticking to L.J.Smith style here! Dragons are legendary shapeshifters. If a dragon has 2 horns, it can take 2 forms. If it has 1 horn, only 1 form, etc. Plus their dragon form. Dragons are also VERY hard to kill. This may sound like the coolest species, but remember, humans CANNOT see you! No daytime flying, no wondering town at ALL unless you use up a horn for a human form. (please don’t god mode, limit the number of horns to a reasonable level. The 3 mains may seem super powerful, but that’s because we’re running this entire RPG, and this allows us to do more no matter what the situation)
Dragons are RARE, so we’ll only allow 1 or 2.
Alliance: EVIL/good
Humans: You… are human! With all your humany knowledge! You may look however you want. Humans have an advantage in they don’t ever have to ‘recharge’. In the human world, a person can run out of magick, in a way, since there are no Satinka Stones to keep a persons energy up, so any supernatural might grow tired in a battle. Humans can only grow physically tired.
Also, this is the humans world! They run it. They can go into town whenever they want, go into the sun, in the water, anywhere! At any time! Humans can also learn basic magick like simple protection spells and can aid witches better than any other supernatural being because they aren’t tainted by any metaphysical influence.
Alliance: GOOD/evil.
Notice: The only races that can use magick besides the stuff listed in the race descriptions are the witches and (sometimes) the humans.
We do this so each character has something useful and distinct about them that's just them. For instance, a vampire is not going to have potions, and a witch isn't going to have fangs.
That’s the basics. If you have questions PM us.

Anyway…
