Roleplay Information

Introduction
This is an alternate version of earth in which vampires and lycans exist and humans considered evil by the lycans but are considered a good meal and something to be treasured by vampires, however many vampires have adopted human personalities and act as humans would and treat humans as nothing but food like humans did to animals. A human virgin is considered the rarest of the rare and is the most highly regarded food among vampires, almost all vampires however become addicted to virgin blood and will either lock up the human and over-feed or will kill the human during feeding.

The lycans are at war with the vampires because of their misuse of humans and lycans as food and the war is not public, it takes place underground, vampires and lycans form gangs and organizations who's sole purpose is to fight the opposing race.

The lycans call their gangs “tribes” and are extremely ritualistic and will tattoo themselves to show their rank in the tribe and to show their hunting proficiency, the lycan with the most kills is the leader while those with the least are foot-soldiers who are sent into combat first as scouts. Another ritual used by lycan tribes is that they will collect the dead bodies of their fallen allies and bury them under a tree to feed it and help it grow. They will also go and get the bodies of dead and injured vampires and drain them of their cursed blood to help them be at peace with nature and then bury them under a tree much like they do with their fallen brothers and sisters. Lycan tribes usually control vast areas of natural areas or underground areas in large cities such as sub-ways and sewers. When two lycan tribes conflict over territory, instead of warring, they will sign an agreement and become one larger tribe, there are myths of a massive tribe that controls all of the boreal forest in Canada, which is the largest forest on the planet other than across the sea in Russia.

The vampires call their gangs “houses” which are organizations who collectively surpass the government in power. Every house has it's own rituals and laws, most houses control large territories which tend to be towns or small cities, some war with each other for territory, which the lycans think is barbaric. There are stories among American vampires of a massive house that managed to take control of all of New York city. Every house has a symbol that identifies them to other houses.

There are also houses who allied themselves with lycan tribes, these houses became known as tribal houses and are the most powerful but rare groups in the world, there is currently only one that is well known, this tribal house is called “the house of kami”. They control all of japan and use this name because they protect the land just as the kami do in the Shinto religious beliefs.
