H U M A N S
(Available species for made ups)

(Homo Sapiens) The mortal beings that inhabit the Earth Considered by God to be his last and greatest among all his creations. They are the fragilest of the species, and each hold a soul carefully crafted by God himself. Upon their deaths their souls face judgment to decipher where each would spend their afterlife. They are easily damaged or killed but there is of course plenty means for them to protect themselves as best they can from the supernatural entities. That is, of course, that they have become or are aware of the supernatural. 

V A M P I R E S
(Available species for made ups)

(Vamps, Bloodsuckers) The blood drinking, supernaturally revived corpses that are inhabited by the spirit of the deceased. As stated, this supernatural creature needs to ingest blood in order to survive, mostly human blood; though others have opted for animal blood over the centuries. The species has a nifty amount of little parlor tricks but as a counter effect they also have their weaknesses. But it's not what the old Dracula would have made you believe, as most now have the ability to walk underneath the burning rays of the sun, rather than turn into a pile of ash. (Because we offer two types of vampires, you can read more on the species [*url=""]here.[/*url])

D O P P E L G Ä N G E R S
(We do not accept any made up doppelgängers, other than what is in the show or forum approved one's)

(A 'Shadow Self') Doppelgängers are a supernatural double of a person who has lived before them. Therefore, yes, making them supernatural beings. It is natures way of balancing out things. Doppelgängers are mortal beings, therefore they are just as vulnerable as humans and can use the same precautious acts as one and basically live as one. But the species is also capable of becoming vampires.Their blood can be used to create powerful spells, and they do step onto the Other Side when they die.

W E R E W O L V E S
(Available species for made ups)

(Lycanthropes, Loup Garou, Beasts) The very much talked about, mortal enemies of vampires. Werewolves are humans with the ability to shift into their werewolf beings every full moon. Like vampires, they come with a set of supernatural enhancements and therefore come with their set of weaknesses. Here on Relinquish Your Fate we have combined three werewolf types from three different TV shows in order to make it flow smoothly. You can brush up on species similarities and differences [*url=""]here.[/*url]

H Y B R I D S
(Available for made up creations but it is limited for now)

A supernatural crossbreed between a vampire and a werewolf. They are potentially one of the most dangerous supernatural species as the two species were clashed to create a creature with abilities from both of the combined species. But like this, they have also inherited the weaknesses from both the parent species. Doppelgänger blood is needed for the full transition of a hybrid, however, in the future, Hope Mikaelson's blood will also work the same way. No matter what species of werewolf your character is from, when you are turned into a hybrid you will have only the strengths and weaknesses that a hybrid has been shown to have in the show, The Vampire Diaries. 

W I T C H E S    &    W A R L O C K S
(Available species for made ups)

(Servants of Nature, Keepers of the Balance, Architects of the Supernatural)  Mortal beings whom are gifted with supernatural powers. They have existed for many years and come from any race. Witches (normally) hold greater knowledge and hold over the mystical forces. As stated, they are still mortal but have a little more of an edge in self defense than any ordinary human being. You can read more on the species [*url=""]here.[/*url]

    H U N T E R S
(Available species for made ups)

A hunter is a human (or not in some case) that hunts the supernatural, most commonly werewolves and vampires, whom have made it their job to protect save humans from supernatural creatures. They often keep themselves emotionally and physically strong in order to survive all they may live through, but alas they are humans who can and possibly will die. They use many objects and special weapons in order to go about their hunting. Those with more knowledge on the vast supernatural list are most likely the most strongest. While they are as fragile as humans, they're stronger and have the ability to fend for themselves quite well.

(Immortal Being) Immortals are technically just a proto version of vampires, the only difference is that (as the name states) they are truly immortal. That means they are unkillable. But like vampires, they need blood in order to function. They have a nifty little nest of powers & strengths and a few weaknesses. 
-Powers & Abilities: Immortality, super durability, accelerated healing, advance immunity, psychic powers (illusions, telepathy, voice mimicry, dream manipulation, psychic pain infliction, mind compulsion, enhanced strength/reflexes/senses.
-Weaknesses: Desiccation, magic, The Cure, doppelgängers.

(Celestials) Angels are celestial beings that were created by God to serve him (as attendants or messengers mostly), but also as soldiers against demons and Lucifer. They require a vessel in order to walk on Earth. Their true form is nothing less of holy righteous beings which are beautiful as well as hazardous, overwhelming, and terrifying all at the same time. They are one of the most powerful celestials, often able to fend off low rank demons without hesitation. While they too have their strengths and very little known ways to be killed, it is possible. There are various tiers of angels and all angel specifics can be found [*url=""]here.[/*url]

(Not available for made ups)

Special children are humans who at an infant age were fed demon blood by Azazel, having had struck a deal with their parents and snuck into their homes to do so. The result? These children were given a special supernatural power (each varies), the powers could be enhanced with the consumption of demon blood. It was done because the children had the potential to be Lucifer's vessel. But, being humans in the end means they are still exposed to all the human weaknesses. Each child has a power of their own and you can check those out [*url=""]here.[/*url]

(Available for made ups)

 (Damned Souls) Malevolent spirits ccreated by Lucifer by crippled human souls after an extensive time in hell. They are corrupted, evil, and very powerful. Just like angels, they require a vessel to walk on the Earth, though they can go about in smoke form. Demons were tortured (and still could be) in hell, making them the sinister creatures they are known to be. Demons like every other supernatural being have their own powers & abilities, but they also have their weaknesses. And a few ways to be killed off completely. Since there are various types of demons, you can read their section [*url=""]here.[/*url]

(Available for made ups, but limited)

(The Natural Order, Death their Enslaver) Reapers are angels and servants of Death. The help keep the natural balance and are completely neutral. Meaning they do not side with heaven, hell or purgatory. They are the ones who come at your death to collect your soul (given you have one to begin with..) and send you to your designated afterlife. For the most part, reapers go unseen by the human eye, but as they do have the ability to hide their true form by taking another, while in their falsified form they may be seen by whomever. They do have their sets of powers & abilities, but also weaknesses. And a very few at that. You can check those out [*url=""]here.[/*url]

(The Voices of God) Prophets are ordinary humans with the occupation of being God's voice. They are selected by high leveled angels, and foretell things that'll happen in the future or speak the instructions from heaven. Like normal humans, prophets can be easily injured and just as easily killed off.

H O R S E M E N   O F   T H E   A P O C A L Y P S E 

(Not available for made ups) 

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are basically just concepts that have a conscious of their own. They are War, Famine, Pestilence & Death. All of which have been able to manifest by taking human form. Their core power comes from a ring when in physical form, otherwise they are rendered useless (except for Death who has been able to teleport and such without it). They don't take sides with heaven or hell, but rather side with themselves and their jobs. They are each powerful entities, each have their strengths as well as their weaknesses. You can brush up on those [*url=""]here.[*/url]

K I T S U N E S 

(Available for made ups) 

A kitsune is a spirit. To the naked eye they are just human. But digital pictures and enhanced vision (demons, werewolves, etc.) can see the fiery aura of the kitsune, having very distinguishable pointed ears and a muzzle. That is unless they have learned to conceal their true nature. If that were the case they'd be entirely human to every eye upon them (with the exception of angels and demons who are spirits as well and therefore can see them). They are known as the tricksters and often do not know good from bad. We won't be having two types of kitsunes on the forum. But we've combined the two types here on RYF. Here is what we got:
-Appearance: As stated, they are just a fox spirit that can only be seen by a few and that is if they haven't learned to conceal it. They don't shapeshift into foxes like werewolves do, but they an display orange glowing eyes. They also have the ability to grow out long, dark claws.
-Abilities: Super strength, super speed, healing, invulnerability (they can only die if they are stabbed in the heart).
-Weaknesses: If stabbed with anything through the heart they will die. The Colt can kill them (as it can kill almost anything). Silver is poisonous and therefore harmful to them (just as it is poisonous to werewolves). A kanima's sting can paralyze them, and a demon can possess them and keep them locked within their own body. Lastly, angels can smite them.

A shapeshifter. The Kanima is a mutation of the werewolf gene that cannot fully transform until it resolves that in its past which manifest it. Part human and part lizard. They are the result of a human whose body has rejected a werewolves bite. In their beta form they stand tall like a human and have a long tail. In their alpha form they resemble a lizard completely and also have a pair of wings. At both stages their tails are capable of paralyzing whomever is inflicted by it. While in their kanima form, they are bound to a master. There master could be just about anyone and only while they're transformed completely do they have complete control over them. Most of the time those who have become kanima's do not even know that they shift into the terrifying creature.

-Abilities: Super speed, strength, paralyzing sting, immune to compulsion and can not be turned into a vampire. Cannot be possessed by a demon, and if they kill their master they can shift on their own will.
-Weaknesses: In human form they can be hurt or killed just as any ordinary human. In their shifted form they are bound to a master and have to abide to their orders. The colt can kill betas but not alphas.

(Wise Oak: Gaelic; ) Advisers, emissaries to anyone and have a vast knowledge on anything supernatural related. Darach is technically the same thing. They are referred to as 'Dark Oak' in Gaelic, denotes a perversion of the Druid's beliefs. Meaning they used their knowledge for wrong doings (like seeking revenge or the thirst for power). Being technically human they can die in any form and even be hurt. They cannot be compelled or possessed by a demon. They can however be turned into a werewolf, vampire or kanima. Thus losing their power and replacing it with the appropriate set of new strengths and weaknesses.

(Available for made ups)

(Harbinger of Death) A Banshee is a spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the underworld. They foresee deaths before they happen, and as such have the ability to prevent them if they move with time. In legend, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die. They are still completely a normal human being and as such anything can hurt or kill them.
-Abilities: Piercing scream, harbinger of death, cannot be compelled sensing touch.
-Weakness: Can easily be hurt and/or killed, can be turned by a vampire or bitten by a werewolf, can be possessed by a demon.
