AboutVintaged like fine wine…
You find yourself in the city of New York. Current year 2004. It is a New York in a world torn apart by war. Not war between humans, not war between worlds, but a war of humans against that which they do not understand. Forever a narrowminded race, the humans cannot accept that which they do not understand or cannot explain. Mystical creatures technically co-exist with the human race, and yet there are private groups that wage their own holy wars, and the government is simply a figurehead that can affect little control.
However, creatures like these do not take anything lying down. The atmosphere is tense, and most humans tend to avoid hang outs known from the other kind. There are, as there will always be, the curious, and these are the humans that become willing playthings if you will.
Time is nothing to someone who can live forever. Nor is it of much consequence to those whose life spans are simply prolonged.
In modern times the humans are aware that something lives among them. It’s dark and to be feared, dangerous and daring, intriguing and hypnotising. It draws them in and makes them want something they don’t want to need the way they do. This makes the humans scared, and those with little vision attempt to hunt down the creatures of the night on those rare occasions where sanity and sense leaves them for a time.
Myths abound about these creatures, and yet not all of them are true. For your own survival, we’ve included a few tips for the wary human.
Vampire
The vampire gains its strength and nourishment from draining the blood of other beings. There is certain blood that will give them more of each, that being from another mystical creature or else the blood of a willing human who has unique heritage. Be wary of their eyes, for they can hypnotise and spellbind. You might find yourself doing something you never intended. Some have more pronounced abilities than others, it just depends on the vampire.
Sunlight is not fatal, and yet you will never see a tanned vamp. They do not need a coffin and don't necessarily need sleep, although some might prefer this. Garlic will probably be taken by them and used as seasoning in the supper for their humans, and holy water will only work if they believe it will, which is useless since few vamps of a decent age are stupid. They don’t tend to invite idiots into their fold. Crosses are in the same category.
Your only real hope is a stake through the heart or beheading. Beware of pulling a stake out of the heart of a vamp that appears to be dead. It will take what seems to be a skeleton approximately eight seconds to regenerate. Beheading is a rarity as you have to get close enough first. Depending on the age of the vampire depends on the success of the staking.
Fire is another good choice, but it is never foolproof. Pain isn’t necessarily a hindrance to movement in the case of a vampire.
Their clans are usually well established but this does not negate potential power struggles.
In short, be ware the vampire.
Were-creatures.
Unlike the fairy tales, these creatures do not lose complete control of themselves once a month when the moon rises. Before and after the full moon, these creatures can transform themselves at will should they so wish. The moon heightens the sensation and can lead to loss of control in younger and weaker creatures, however, most of these are weaned from the pack.
Silver is the only sure way to kill the beast, and if you do not hit the centre of the heart, the kill will not succeed. Their regeneration rate is on a par with that of a vampire, and their strength is beyond what a human can imagine.
Pack structure is often a battle involving the reassertion of the dominance of the leader over the other alpha males. Although it is not unheard of to have a female leader, it is seldom the fact.
Watch their bite. In some cases it can be deadly, and in others it can be infectious. Every were creature that has reached some maturity can exert control over who they bring over to their clan. There is substance that can be distributed through their clawing their victim that will make them undergo transformation at the next full moon.
Incubus
Part demon, these are creatures who feed off sexual energy. As a general rule their victim lover, will be killed by the draining of that energy, however if the lover is of mystical or otherwise appropriate origin, there is a chance of survival.
They are generally impervious to most forms of death. Fire is one of the only possibilities as is beheading. The demon portion of these creatures allows them immunity to many different things and it is better to stay out of their way.
Although human in appearance, their skin takes on an almost translucent hue in the sunlight and their eyes are large and black in natural light. It is for this reason that they spend most of their time indoors. Humans are popular prey for these creatures and they rarely seem to worry about using too many as the human population is great.
These creatures are born, and there are few that are capable of breeding such a one.
Psyonics
These are technically a type of human. They posses psychic powers and use the mind to control many things. They can manipulate thoughts and deeds with mind magic, and no human mind is safe from these tricks.
This is an innate ability that is born into these people and sets them apart from a normal human. They have strength and intelligence beyond that of the norm of their species, and are prone to longer life spans as well.
They have the ability to use telekinesis, telepathy and a variety of other things that might find them in the company of other mystical beings. Mystical strength can be enhanced through ritual sacrifice should the need arise.
Feeders
These are humans that have, through some turn of fate, received blood at birth that is like a cocktail mixture for the vampire. They are drawn towards the dark creatures who require their blood, and are often found at some stage in the company of vampires.
They are coveted creatures who are protected by the clan and never killed. The magic that flows through their veins is of a sort that will allow them a prolonged life and afford them a few luxuries otherwise not afforded to human beings. It is an ability that tends to show up once every couple of generations in specific families, but it is never a certainty and usually the children are informed of what they are at an age they will understand it.
The first vamp to break a feeder will create a bond. This feeder, although not completely belonging to that vampire, has a more potent effect on that vamp and is, as a general rule, only shared inside of that clan. The vampire that has broken a feeder leaves a mark, something other vampires can sense. The stronger the vampire the stronger the mark. For a powerful vamp, his feeders are usually safe. Breaking a feeder is a coveted thing, and yet some vampires are very choosey.

There are different clans of all of these different creatures. Be wary at night for many of them swap and change allegiances on a regular basis and you won’t want to get caught in the middle of a clan war.
Below we have listed those creatures known to us. Please take heed.

Those names underlined are the clan/pack leaders. Those in bold are their seconds.
The following is a brief run down of the known gathering places where these creatures can be found, or better said, how they can be avoided.
Clubs/Hangouts/Bars
Most of these are operated 24/7 in a part of town that humans don't frequent all too often. There are times, however, where curiosity will overcome the human. No one is really sure what will happen to them then...
Lady's Kiss: this is a nightclub type establishment where mostly vamps congregate. However, other creatures can also be found here.
Hackles: A restaurant/bar that caters for were's. Despite this, they aren't the only creatures who frequent it. After around 2200 at night, it tends to resemble a nightspot more than anything else.
Incognito: More of a bar and meeting place than a club. Is frequented by many different mystical types.
Be wary...
