Imuralis Fallire Morbus. Translated into English as Immunity Failure Disease. This was the title given to a terrible virus that infected hundreds of demons a few hundred years after they fell from God's grace with Lucifer. As fallen angels, demons were basically immortal; but IFD changed that.
The disease made demons weak to certain substances. Silver, certain kinds of wood, certain plants, even water could weaken those infected. Depending on the demon, he was affected by at least two and up to all of these substances. Because IFD was so contagious, and specific to demons, those found out to be infected were immediately exiled from Hell, doomed to wander Earth's surface (where all of these substances existed mind you).
The infected demons reacted to their disease in different ways. Some understood why, some vowed revenge on their unfair treatment, and some took their feelings and turned them to the human race. Some found joy in killing, torturing, and committing all sorts of heinous acts against the human race. Others blended in with them, even so far as to falling in love. Its from these relationships that a new breed of monster was created.
These half demons were infected with the virus their demon parent had, making them a new breed of monster; vampires. When IFD was faced with the human DNA, it mutated into a specific strain, gave these vampires a very specific set of weaknesses and strengths. Weak to water, fire, garlic, and wood, vampires could only be killed by fire and wooden weapons piercing their heart unless first weakened by garlic or water, then they could be killed by conventional means.
But for all their weaknesses, being half demon also gave them distinct advantages. They were faster, stronger, had better reflexes and senses, and lived much longer, even centuries. They also had a healing factor so they couldn't really be killed unless attacked with their specific weaknesses. They also were immune to all other diseases and were genetically beautiful. They were perfectly human in appearance (if not extremely pale) except for two things; their eyes were odd colored and had slits for pupils and possessed fangs.
Unfortunately for vampires, the only way they could live was off of blood. There is nothing more delicious to them than human blood, and they also spread the disease through biting humans and sucking their blood, unless they sucked enough to kill them. Because of this vampires are feared by humans almost as much as demons were.
Along with these two banes to human existence, there was yet another. The origin of this strain was not born through life, but through death. A demon, infected and exiled, was weak from coming into contact with a jeweler who sold silver items. Fleeing into the forest in his weakened state he fell prey to a pack of wolves. He managed to kill all but one, who feasted on the demon.
With eating the demon though, the wolf contracted the disease; creating a new strain and driving the wolf crazy. It no longer thought it needed a pack and abandoned its natural caution, charging into the nearby village and biting everyone he came into contact with. It was finally put down, but not without several newly infected monsters.
With the rapidly mutating virus spreading with these bites, these people soon became werewolves. IFD was specific to these creatures as well, making them weak to fire, silver, and a type of plant that became to be known as Wolf's Bane. These werewolves were cursed in a special way. In human form they were faster, stronger, possessed better reflexes and senses than their normal human counterparts. But it's when they lost control of themselves that they became monsters. Relying only on primal rage they become monsters that attack anything and everything in their sight. This only happens when they get too angry or on nights that the moon was full. Of course with these killing sprees humans came to fear these creatures as well.
In those first years the monsters flourished. werewolves and vampires were everywhere, not to mention the demons that kept attacking people. The death of humans was widespread, as was the fear.
Humans didn't lay down and take this abuse from the monsters of course. Humans, and especially hunters soon discovered their weaknesses and set up precautions. Silver weapons were almost as common as iron. People kept torches always at the ready and farms of garlic and wolfsbane were everywhere. Those who could use magic learned how to use fire first of all. People were dying to be sure, but even more so were the monsters.
This war went on and dwindled the monsters down ton near extinction, and so they fled or hid. Eventually people began to forget about the monsters, and as the years went by they became nothing more than myths to the humans. The only ones that stayed vigilant were an order of hunters, dedicated to the complete destruction of werewolves, vampires, and all the demons they could get their hands on.
Now its the twenty-first century, and the Order of Hunters and Exorcists (OHE) New York branch is struggling. The monsters have infiltrated every business and school, and the deaths are adding up. Do you have what it takes to hunt the monsters? Or maybe you want to become one yourself? Or maybe you're a part of the ignorant masses and want to stay that way. Your destiny is your own.

Skeleton
You can play as an infected demon, a werewolf, a vampire, a hunter, or a normal human.
Normal humans can turn into any of the above except demon.

Weapons: (If hunter. Keep weapons to believable carry weight.)
Personality:
Bio:
My Skelly:
Name: Crispin Davis
Race: Human
Age: 25
Appearance: Five feet eleven inches tall with a toned, lean body style, Crispin has green eyes and short, messy brown hair. Fairly good looking with defined features, he usually dresses in a black, leather, studded jacket and has a silver cross around his neck. He wears black cargo pants and black T-shirt. He wears black shoes somewhere between boots and sneakers.
Profession: Hunter
Weapons: Crossbow with silver tipped bolts, which he slings across his back.Six silver throwing knives, three strapped to each thigh. A few fire bombs kept in a pouch on his side.
Personality: Crispin is borderline psychotic. He is rather intelligent but gets distracted easily. The only thing to hold his undivided attention is when he starts hunting something. He kills because its fun and he enjoys the challenge involved in killing monsters. He refuses to kill those under thirteen. In his relations to other people he tends to seem weird and all over the place.
Bio: Born into a normal, Welsh-British family, Crispin had an utterly unremarkable childhood. That didn't change until he hit sixteen years old. At this age his family was camping on a night lit by a full moon when his family fell prey to a pack of werewolves. As they slaughtered his family Crispin thought this was where he was going to die. That's when the hunters showed up. Here they killed the werewolves and took him in. He swore into their lifestyle and began climbing the ranks as a hunter. He transferred into the New York branch three years ago and has been killing in the Big Apple ever since.
