Supporting Roles
The supporting roles in Ravenhurst are ones played by humans that have been allowed to be a part of the world that the supernatural races inhabit. These roles need to be earned through roleplay, so if they are of interest to you, please apply for the Human role and make a note that you are interested in one of these roles. It will be up to the individual player to find the group to earn these roles through roleplay.
The Silence
All supernaturals in Ravenhurst hide what they are from the humans. If exposed to the human world, pitchforks and riots would ensue. The Supernatural Council holds authority in this matter and will be the final arbitrators if the silence is broken. Therefore, if a vampire is found guilty of breaking the silence by showing any acts of supernatural ability in the public view, they could risk serious punishment or death. (Please remember that there are human NPCS all over Ravenhurst in the public places.)
If you are planning on coming in knowing about the existence of the supernaturals, then you need to include how you came to be aware of their existence in your backstory and get it approved by the admins.

Supporting roles for Vampires
Vampire have two different groups of humans that will actually live among them; Ghouls and Blood dolls.
Blood Dolls
✦ Does not drink vampire blood
✦ Is a food source for vampires
✦ Female and Male vampires may feed off either of these types (Feeding off a blood dolls does not mean it will be a sexual roleplay. In many cases, it will be a simple bite on the wrist or neck.)
✦ There are two types of blood dolls; the willing and the unwilling, referred to as the Donor and the Dead
Donor - The donors are those that are willingly offering their bodies as food for the vampires. The donors are taken care of by the vampires as far as food and drink is concerned, but they do spend their lives as prisoners. These humans are usually offered as appetizers at parties or other special gatherings. The loss of blood will eventually kill them.
Dead - These humans are those unwilling to be food for the vampires and were taken against their will, owed a debt, or for any other host of reasons, the vampire has decided this person would be a good food source. This type of blood doll is usually drained within a few weeks. The vampires do not attempt to care for them or keep their health up. Their lives in the vampire world are brutal, painful, and short.

Ghouls
There are three types of ghouls. The types are determined by how the person becomes one.

Devotio - The Devoted
The Superfans/Groupies of the vampire world. Typically, these humans are obsessed with vampires. They have watched every movie, read every book, and even though they have no proof of actual vampire existence, they would love more than anything to become immortal. These are the most common of all ghouls. Vampires sometimes have three or four Devotios working for them. Abilities: Strength of a human at peak performance level Heightened senses Night Vision Quick Healing Flaws: Heightened Emotions Blood Addiction ( think drug addict) Still human, even with the quick heal can die just as easily Still have to eat human food to live Weakest of the ghouls as they are still mostly humans Pledging: Once they have found a vampire, they will beg and plead to be taken into their family, promising them a life of servitude for the opportunity to become immortal. A blood bond is made between the vampire ( Maker) and the Devotio, however it is a severely weakened bond. *see blood bond The Devotio is kept loyal by being fed diluted blood often mixed with warm water. They are never allowed to feed off the Maker directly. Vampire Hierarchy In the eyes of the vampires, the devotio is the lowest level of ghouls. The vampires view them as expendable and will often not try to rescue them if they get themselves into trouble. The vampire often has no intention of making these humans immortal. The Devotio's Maker does take on a small level of responsibility for the Devotio, however, how much responsibility is up to the vampire. The Maker sets the rules of conduct and what jobs the Devotio will be tasked to do. Devotio that break rules, try to escape, or are disrespectful to other vampires are often killed on the spot. Devotio's opinion are rarely considered or respected. Task: The Devotio are given task depending on the needs of the vampire or vampires they serve. They don't mind doing them as they think they will eventually gain immortality. These task can be as mundane as keeping the vampire's home clean, running daytime tasks or even serving at a vampire party. Some may even be tasked with spying on humans in the town and providing information. (Really important tasks are not often entrusted to the Devotio.) The End: Once the Devotio has served their Makers needs, they are often denied the blood and turned into blood dolls/donors*. They will end their days as a food source for the vampires Exceptions To be a Devotio you don't have to be a superfan; you could be in debt to a vampire for other reasons. A Devotio is anyone who pledges themselves to a vampire that do not have a strong connection with the vampire. |
The Amato - Human Companion
The Amato are the humans chosen by the vampire to serve as their true companions. The Amato is a ghoul that is respected and cherished by the vampire, as close as family and often even closer. At some point, the vampire may even decide to turn the Amato into a vampire if the Amato so desires. This is the only type of ghoul that earns immorality from the vampire without becoming a vampire themselves. The vampire usually only has one Amato to server them at a time, unless they're the open minded sort. Abilities: 3 times the strength and speed of a human Heightened senses - hearing, smell and visions Night vision Immortality Flaws The longer they are with their vampire, the less regular food they will have to eat. However, they begin to be disgusted with regular food and need to force themselves to continue to eat at least once a week or they will starve to death. The Amato are still human, but because of the amount of vampire blood they ingest they are a lot more resilient than the other two types of ghouls and have a tendency to overextend their abilities at fighting and healing. They still need to learn to protect themselves and understand their limits. An Amato will rarely be able to best a vampire in combat, but the blood makes them believe this to be the case and can lead to severe injury that can take a long time to recover from, or death. Their loyalty and emotional attachment to the vampire and the vampire to the Amato makes them an easy target for those wanting to influence or seeking revenge on the vampire. Decapitation Fire Silver Allergy -will not kill but does cause pain Pledging A human that becomes an Amato is one that is chosen by the vampire. It could be that the human is needed for a specific purpose or has characteristics that remind the vampire of someone they knew in the past. Though the human never asks for this privileged position as Amato, it is one bestowed upon them at the whim of the vampire. Unlike the other two types of ghouls, the Amato drinks a significant amount of blood to earn immortality. It takes three drinks directly from the vampire (willingly or unwillingly) for the blood bond between the vampire and human to become unbreakable. First Drink: The human ( may or not even know they have had vampire blood) feels an instant connection to the vampire, regardless of their feelings for them, and the human will desire to be around the vampire. They may even be driven to search the vampire if they are not close. Second Drink: The vampire begins to consume the ghoul's every thought, even if they hate the vampire. They cannot fight the desire to be with him/her Third Drink: The Human is bonded to the vampire and can't imagine a world without the vampire by their side. The Human doesn't want anything more then to serve their Maker and remain at his or her side. The Amato is fiercely loyal and will do anything to help or protect their Maker. Vampire Hierarchy The Amato are respected by other vampires and understand that they belong to specific vampire. However, an Amato is not a vampire and are still seen as a sort of servant. An Amato can be part of Coterie through their maker but not an actual member. Their opinion is not considered in any matter pertaining to the vampires as a whole, only in their influence upon their maker. An Amato can act as a messenger of their maker to the other vampires in if the vampire is not present, however their vote in affairs of state will not be counted. The End The Amato can live as a ghoul for hundreds of years, however many are often turned to vampires before that happens. If their Maker is killed before they are turned, an Amato's despair is so great that many commit suicide unless another vampire is available to make a new bond with the ghoul. |
Pelle - The Watchers
The Pelle are the human protectors of the vampires. They are completely devoted to the vampires and will sacrifice their lives in order to protect their masters. These Humans have lost their minds to the blood addiction and have gone insane. These are the rarest form of ghouls, but also the most dangerous. The insanity that the Pelle suffer from often leads to cannibalism, eating the flesh from the victims of their Vampires Masters. Abilities: 2 times the strength of a normal human heightened senses Night vision Quick healing Flaws: Insanity; their minds have been clouded with this obsession to protect vampires They lose their humanity Appearance, speech will start to change as they lose themselves. Pledging: These are generally humans who are saved by a vampire's blood from some mortal ailment. While not a common reaction to most vampire blood, it affects a rare, unfortunate type of humans. Vampires do not know how this happens or why, but they rarely turn one of these afflicted humans away. The vampire blood in the human triggers an obsession to want to protect the one that saved them ( even if the person was unconscious and never witnessed what saved them, they feel an overwhelming desire to help) However, this does not give them the knowledge that vampires exist, and if they don't find a vampire to serve, they still go insane. Any vampire can take in a Pelle as their own. Vampire Heirarchy: As this is affliction is a rare occurrence, the Pelle are eagerly sought after in the vampire world as they will give their lives to protect the vampire or vampires that they devote themselves to. They are often well cared for by their vampire master and are generally used as the daytime guards for the lair. Task: daytime protector disposing of bodies Slip into Insanity: The Pelle are often normal people before they are given vampire blood. The reasons as to why they become obsessed and insane is still unknown. The only known fact is that it is vampire blood that destroys their minds. From the moment the blood kicks in, they turn into stalkers searching for someone or something to fulfill that desire. The blood only last in the system for a few weeks at a time, bit with the Pelle, it triggers a mental and emotional need as well. Once a Pelle has found a vampire, they are satisfying that need, but their sad descent into insanity doesn't stop. The longer they live among vampires, the more protective they become (much like a trained pitbull). As their mind goes, they begin trying to eat like the vampire, feeding on the flesh of those the vampire has killed and sometimes eating insects and small animals just for the thrill of killing something. The Pelle do not love anyone but their vampire masters and quickly begin to lose their humanity, making them very dangerous to others. As they continue down this road, their features take on a more visual disposition of a truly disturbed person. This is a fate that the Pelle cannot escape from. The End At a point the Pelle become too insane for the vampire, and their will to protect the vampire can possibly lead to a breaking Silence. Once the Pelle becomes too difficult to control, the Pelle is put down like a dog with rabies. |
Blood Bonds, Blood Addiction and Death of Ghouls
The Blood Bond - Vampire ( Maker) and human
As vampires get older their blood strengthens making it more potent and desirable to humans. Most vampires after the first year can make an Devotio or an accidental Pelle. It is not till a Vampire is 25 years old that they have the ability to make an Amato but as the loneliness has not set in yet the Amato are mostly made when a vampires is over 100 years.
A bond that is created when a human drinks directly from a vampire.
The bond is with the vampire and only the vampire the human drinks from first.
After the initial drink. The vampires blood stays in the humans system for a week. If no more blood is given to the human before the week is up the bond is broken. To create the blood addiction in the human the human most continue to drink small doses of vampire blood (often deluded and mix with wine) As long as the human is not feeding directly from the blood does nothing more then make the addiction stronger. Blood addiction is just like a drug in the sense that humans will crave it. As this is a means to control the humans the vampires do not give them as much as they want but usually pace the amount in order to keep the humans coming back for more.

Blood Bond - The blood bond creates a link between the Maker ( vampire) and the Devotio. This link allows Maker to track the Devotio ( often used to track down the ones that try to escape). The link does not allow them to sense the emotions of the Devotio.
Blood Addiction - Devotio is the only type of ghoul that can realize their situation and have the chance to escape (easier with the help of others) For every month a Devotio is with a vampire it adds to the number of days it takes to break the blood addiction. One month of time with a vampire one week ( 7 days) two months of time ( 9 days) three months ( 11 days) and so on To Speed up this process, a Devotio can seek out help. Bond Breaking- If the Maker dies the bond is broken however a Devotio will often look for another vampire to take them in. The Bond between Maker and Devotio is weak so they do not feel devastation when there Maker dies. Their reaction is based on their own thoughts and feelings. Death Devotio are still human and although the blood makes them harder to kill they can still die. When the vampires feels the Devotio has done all they can do for the vampire the blood, is taking away from them and they are turned to blood dolls, till their deaths. |
Blood Bond-The bond allows the vampire to track them even though this is a strong bond the vampire can't yet feel their emotions. The vampires has more control over the Amato who wants nothing more than to serve his/her maker.
Blood Addiction - Once they have drank from the vampire, they are bonded to them and continue to drink it. Bond Breaking
The bond between the Amato and he/her Maker does not break unless death or the Maker has released the Amato. A Maker releases his/her Amato by simply saying "you are released" and then turning their back to them. After three days the bond no more. If they Amato loses their Maker in any way the effect on them is one of devastation. Some Amato have been known to take their own lives if this happens. If the Maker's Amato dies it is just as painful for the Maker however with the release it is hard but the vampire is strong enough to do it. Death Amato are hard to kill as they are immortal. Fire and decapitation |
Blood Bond-The blood bond creates a link between the Maker ( vampire) and the Pelle. This link allows Maker to track the Pelle as to also control them, even if the initial blood is not from the vampire that fines the Pelle the vampire that takes him/her can make a bond by given the Pelle their blood switching the Maker to themselves. The Pelle develop complete loyalty to this vampire and will gives his/her life to protect them. The link does not allow them to feel the emotions of the Pelle.
Blood Addiction - still need to drink the deluded blood in order for the vampire to have control over them. Unlike the Devotio, they can never be freed from the blood addiction. Even without the blood they will remain insane. Bond breaking There is no escape from this type of ghoul. If the vampire they are protecting dies usually another vampire steps in to replaces the Pelle's Makers. Death Pelle are human but their insanity leads to making them harder to kill than the Devotio. Severe trauma will kill them. |
Supporting Role for Werewolves
Kith
The werewolves are a close community that live in packs. They do not allow just anyone to join them nor to do they make it a habit of taking in humans just to protect as they do not want to risk exposure to the human race. They do occasionally make an exception and will allow a human to join their pack. There are two types of human that are allowed to live among the wolves with complete knowledge; those that were born into a werewolf pack but didn't get the werewolf gene and those that have proven themselves to be loyal and trustworthy.
Born in a pack
These humans are trusted among the pack they are born into. Having grown up with werewolves, they know the importance of protecting their secrecy to the human world. If a human born into a pack loses their family, they often look for a new pack to join. However, just like the average human, they have to start earning the new pack's trust.
Earning Trust with the Werewolves
Before a human is considered a pack member, their loyalties are tested to prove their worthiness. Just because one werewolf in the pack trusts that human, that doesn't mean the others will or should even be exposed to that human until the trust has been earned. How that trust is earned is decided by each pack. Once a human has proven their worthiness, then the werewolves initiate them in with a bite from the alpha and the werewolf bringing forward the initiate.
Pack Acceptance
If the entire pack is accepting the human as their Kith, the Alpha as well as one other member of the pack will bite the human. (Only the two shift, the others are to make sure the human is not killed) The bites have the same effect as if a human is being turned but more potent as it is two bites. This is the Kith's right of passage into the pack. If they can control the urges then they have earned their position. This creates a link with the human and the Alpha which allows him to feel the humans emotions, however it doesn't allow them to track them. The entire pack will help protect them. (The pack will decide as a group if they wish to do this)
Things to remember:
Werewolves will do anything to uphold the Silence. Bringing a human to a pack directly without permission of the pack can lead to banishment of the wolf and possibly put the human in danger.
When the werewolves turn into the Werewolf form, not even a Kith will be safe. It is important for them to be away from the pack and the wolves during full moons and other times of stress in order to protect themselves.

Supporting Roles for Fae
Enamoured
The Enamoured are humans that have been seduced been a Fae. The Fae with this power would have shared their body fluids with the human three times, each time the bond between the human and the fae grows stronger. Once a human has been enamoured a Fae the become feeding source for the Fae. They are willing to do whatever the Fae asks of them. The longer the human is with the Fae the more indoctrinated they become. The more the Fae feeds off the human, the more emotionally unstable they become. They are known to have fits extreme highs and lows with their emotions. They also become possessive of the Fae. In many cases jealous sets in if they see the Fae with others. The Fae will eventually want to move on from them or trap them for a life of servitude in the Fae realm.

Supporting Roles For Demon
The Damned
The Damned - these are humans that have lost their souls to the Corporation. Many are taken back to the demon realm and serve the demons until their body is need to serve as a meat suit for one of their numbers, while others remain on Earth serving the demons as spies or an emergency vessel if needed.
Once a human has sold their souls, personality changes begin to occur. The human will experience at least one of these strong negative emotions:
Fear - lack of sleep due to nightmares, overly paranoid, jumpy
Nihilism - no longer caring, will feel they can do whatever they want to without consequence.
Greed - What you want is what you want and you will try to get it at any means.
Anger/ Hate - It starts off with little things that annoy and can build into a towering, dangerous rage to those around.
Feelings such as love, happiness, kindness or any feeling that leads to happy will change to one of ambivalence. Loved ones and friends will begin to no longer matter. The longer a person is without a soul, the more they will pull away from their old life and the feelings that make them human.
As the demon realm is different from the human realm, the needs of the humans trapped there also change. When the human crosses over they stop aging and the need for food or drink is also no longer needed. The Demons in that realm love to have the luxuries of the Humans in order to experience any sort of emotion behind the endless void. The more intense the experience, the better, which is why they crave deviant and hedonistic pleasures, from drinking alcohol ( only gets a human body drunk) , drugs, sex or just watching someone dance, they can't get enough of it. The humans that are taken to the demon realm are used for these entertainment purposes.
The humans make good entertainers and servers as they no have a conscience no care what happens to them. They view the demons as their friends and protectors so do what they are told. However, the Damned no longer feel emotions such as love; they are incapable of it as their soul has been taken as are the demons themselves. Love is a human emotion that has no place in the demon realm.
OOC NOTE
We do not assign human to demons. To become a Damned you most do it all through roleplay.
We do not guarantee any BDSM or Slave Roleplay in the Demon area as it will be up to the individual player if they spend time up there.
The Damned are not pets or personal slaves. If they are in the Demon realm, any Demon can ask them to do things. (Roleplay limits should be discussed prior and Fading to Black is always allowed).
Most Damned will become a Demon vessel. If you have not been taken into the demon realm, perhaps be able to make a deal to get your soul back.
