Humans, despite their typically weaker physique, have always ruled over the stranger creatures with their intelligence. Vampires, Kappas, Dragons, Imps and others have always been treated as less than human - they are, after all. The human race progressed past the beasts, and soon slave (or 'pet', as they like to call them) trades started popping up throughout the world. Beasts of all species were sold, classified depending on how human-like they are; pets, given to Wolfmen and Dragons, or servants, given to (defanged) Vampires, Imps and the like. Every human who owns a beast has at least some wealth, as many have a tendency to be pricy. Servants are often mistreated, being beaten and branded. Perhaps the sentient beasts will fight for liberation - or will they be forced down if they try?
As you've read, this is a fantasy RP which involves monsters/creatures of myth being sold as slaves/pets. You may RP as a human or beast. I ask that the participants are literate, and follow the general rules. Not too hard, I think. Two lines per post minimum, more if you can, please. Also, I ask that you write in third-person. This is maybe the 1800's, or thereabouts.
Bit of information on certain beasts; Vampires, for example. They age very slowly and have very high endurance, and are perhaps the most expensive slaves to have. They have their fangs removed every three months (as they grow back), and they blister in direct sunlight.
Wolfmen are not the conventional werewolves. They are permanently in a half-wolf, half-human form. They do have some sentience, but not quite on the level of humans. They can say basic words.
Dragons are, well, dragons. That's simple enough, I suppose. Come in different types.
Imps are, as you can guess, demonic creatures. They are fairly small, being about three feet tall, and they usually have dark, pinkish flesh. They are sentient, and are about as smart as humans. They have sharp nails, but aren't anything special in the strength aisle.
Kappas, a sort of river monster, require to be by water often. They're also fairly expensive to have as pets. Kappas are like intelligent animals, though they walk upright like a human.
These aren't the only species; only a few. If you have some ideas, talk to me.
As I said, you may play as either human or beast. Onto the character sheets:

EXAMPLE:
Name: Desmond Morrin
Age: 37
Appearance: Desmond is of average weight and height, with a squared jaw. He has short dark brown hair, often combed, with sideburns going down his jawline. A few strands of grey hair are noticeable, and he often has a bit of a tired look about him. The man has steel blue eyes, thick eyebrows hanging above them.
Personality: He is very quiet, often looking quite thoughtful. Desmond is very calm, though gets stressed easily, and rarely acts without thinking. He can sometimes be unpredictable; showing acts of kindness one day, and being bitter the next.
History: At a fairly young age, Desmond inherited a large estate. He lived a life of luxury for his entire life, having a few 'pets' to keep him company while his parents were elsewhere (often in another city), leaving him to his caretakers. Desmond didn't mind until he was maybe ten, where he realized something was off about the way he was being raised. He was taught to hold his tongue, though, and never spoke of it. He carries a grudge against his late parents, and it is sometimes evident in the way he acts.
