Seaside History
Seaside, founded in 1854. The land around the city is surrounded by mountains, with a unique beach that seems to be clear. Since the water from the mountain tops run down to the ocean, it has diluted the water to be less salty compared to other parts of California. Seaside was named due to the location of the city, which has stuck around for a long time. During the gold rush, Seaside was the riches location to find it, so much so that there are rumors of rare minerals still remain untouched.

In 1872, a very suspicious family arrived at the city, which leads to the curse that was installed in the city. Something happened, that no one was around to documents it, or all of the papers had been burnt over the years. Live before that year, was simple and normal. The weather was just like any other weather in Northern California, but things changed after that year. Almost every type of storm, heat and cold you could imagine began to drop down in Seaside. So many people died from the sudden change. It all started on the day the mysterious family died. Now, it’s a way of life in Seaside, well if you have lived here since you were a young child.

1926, the return of the Seasides. You see the founders of Seaside was a family of Irish descent who took up a new name when they began to make the town of Seaside. To show that they were the founders, they took up the new name and new image. After a few years after the weather curse, the Seaside packed up and left. It wasn’t until the next generation returned and brought new technology. The Seasides still Live on with the next heir to be is Miss Seaside herself, Camila Seaside.

Shadow of Secrets made an appearance in Seaside 8 years ago. Since then, they have an army of puppets, normal citizens, that they use to send out warning or do the job to stop the target. SoS seeks out justice in corrupted companies, but they would do something illegal that might bring them a useful ally. Anytime someone seeks out to find out who SoS is, they end up being crushed by their influence. The Yin Yang symbol labels their army, if you receive the symbol, you have been warned.

  The Dierfiur Bar​
  A quaint little bar in the city where anyone and everyone are welcome. It may not be your run of the mill bar with a modern set up, but it’s more homelike and welcoming. The owner of the bar was Aengus Cabhan, a man who moved away from his family in Ireland to start the business. The early years of the Dierfiur Bar were rough, partially due to how small the place was, and partially due to how recent it was. Leon Kensen was the first bartender Aengus employed, and eventually became a valuable partner in making the bar more popular. Over the next few years, a stable income had been established, and all was peaceful for some time. Granted there were still occasions such as a bar fight or misunderstanding in a poker game, but overall the Dierfiur Bar became a staple point of the nearby community it was settled in. By this time, Aengus was nearing sixty years of age, and health became a major problem. Leon took over whenever Aengus couldn’t make an appearance, and he eventually left the bar to Leon in his will. Although the truth behind Aengus’ death is still a mystery, though most likely of old age, Leon runs the bar with very few changes being made. The most notable changes being a television, an increased attempt at drawing in popularity, and the no smoking policy being lifted.

• First blood, was what the supernatural beings called the witch hunt of the new community of witches. The original witch community took in the ones that survived the massacre and helped them make the curse that hangs down on the city. (1876AC)

  Vampires
  The children of Witches.​
  
  The five elders argued for how to protect the community, but the Necromancer had other plans than to wait around for the other four to agree on a notion. Getting the ingredients were hard to get without being found out, but they did. A potion called Vampire’s Blood was created, which contained, Blood of the bat, a death flower petals, a pinch of red barrel dust, and a drop of witches blood. The Necromancer Elder had a poor and unnoticed family to become the first family of Pure Vampire. When the process was complete, they presented their children to the council which was then put to the test.
  
  Years after the first family was created, the other four houses made their own pure vampire. With five families, they allowed their creations to roam free, so long as they kept them safe. And they did. As a gift, the witches created rings of the Moon Child in order to gift them the ability to walk among the human in broad daylight. Till this day, witches continue to create Vampires to continue their protection from the Humans.
  
  NOTE: Underlings do not have the powers of a Pure Vampire. If you wish to make a Pure Vampire, you may.
  
  Pure Vampire of Necromancy
  Vampires under the patriarch of necromancy, are known to have the same ability to raise the dead. These vampires have more of an ability to create underlings from the dead. So long as they have blood ready for them to feed on, all is good.
  
  Pure Vampire of Elementals
  Being created from Elemental witches, give the vampires the ability to control small amounts of elements and fire does not have the same deadly effect on them as the rest of the vampires.
  
  Pure Vampire of Spiritualist
  These vampires have the ability to see people’s minds and dreams. Underlings of this vampire tend to come out a bit off, so it is not recommended to create underlings.
  
  The other two Vampires under the patriarch of Alchemy and Spell Casting, are known for their ability to entrance people to do as they wish.
  
  How to create Underlings
  There are two ways to do this. There is the act of offering your own vampire blood to the human. This process can take a while to achieve but it is the humane way to do it. The other way to do it is to bite the individual without drawing out their blood. This way is very painful and can cause the individual to die from the process.
