No one's really sure how it began. Rumors throughout the world suggest it was a man-made super-virus that started it all, giving men the claws and fangs of wolves, while still retaining the ability to shift back into a human form. Lycanthropes, they called them. They ran rampant through the lands, murdering as they pleased, their superior physical abilities and incredible speed far too difficult for the humans of Earth to defend against.
Intelligence. That was the one front where humanity stood a chance, and the intellectual gap between the Lycanthropes, and the humans of the world was quickly being closed. The creatures started out as dull-witted as one would think possible, but they adapted impossibly fast. Humanity struggled to survive, losing battle after battle, in what was quickly becoming a one-sided war.
A scientist by the name of Eugene Lansing determined that the only way to exterminate the Lycanthropes, was to create an equally, or even more powerful species. It came to pass, that he created a new virus. This new species was similar to that of the Lycanthropes, though not quite as fast, and not quite as strong. The main difference, was that the new creatures possessed extreme regeneration properties, and upon being turned, rather than becoming feral, as the Lycanthropes did, they started off as intelligent as they were prior to the turning. He called them Vampires.
The war between Lycanthropes and Vampires quickly escalated as humans neared extinction. Eugene's plan hadn't worked quite as intended, with Vampires working to exterminate humans, as well. Being genetically inferior, humans were quickly forced into hiding when they could, or they were slaughtered, or turned by one of either species.
Present day: The year is 1743. No more than a thousand humans remain scattered throughout the world, a world now ruled by Vampires and Lycanthropes. After living through such heavy persecution, Natural Selection has been proven, and the few humans that do exist are the most elite of their kind, either incredibly strong, or incredibly fast. A few have even developed genetic abnormalities, resulting in strange abilities, ranging anywhere from elemental control, to things even far stranger than that.
In general, Vampires and Lycanthropes are fighting a war neither side appears to be able to win, and the few remaining humans are simply waiting, biding their time, and hoping for a for a miracle.
Not all Vampires and Lycanthropes seek to completely eradicate the human race. There are a few who have sided with the humans, working to help them recover, and hoping to live side by side with them in a peaceful world. But, that is a hope for the future. This is now.
Your role in this world: You are a human. Evolution has helped you to survive. Are you stronger than ten Lycanthropes? Are you faster than the quickest of either species? Perhaps you're no stronger than your ancestors, but have survived this long based solely on extremely advanced intellectual development.
Maybe you're one of the few who has adapted special "powers" to aid you in combating the threat to the rest of humanity.
EDIT: Players can be either a super-advanced human, or they would also have the option to roleplay a Vampire, or Lycanthrope, who has decided to aid the humans.
This is my first RP I've tried to create. Even my first interest check. Details are still really rough, but this is about what I've got so far. I'm looking for a technology-lacking, more medieval, fantasy-based RP. It's going to be set up as a Survival RP, with free reign on romance elements, and a pretty free-flowing combat style.
Again, just an interest check at this point. If you do have any interest in joining, please let me know, and I can look into getting it started up.
Also, any questions, or comments are perfectly welcome!

Still waiting on just two more players, I think as this is my first RP. Don't want too many, just in case I suck. Haha.
