Template One: Simple Spider

A simple half human and half spider.

Cost: 0
+ Web Creation: This character can create webs strong enough to hold their weight. They can only produce as much web in mass as twice the size of their body daily. Their web is adhesive enough to make an average (human) grown man struggle. Through their web, they can sense vibration when holding onto it.
+ Claws/Teeth: This character has sharp, knife-like claws and teeth meant for tearing skin, a sign of their diet.
+ Supernatural Agility: This character has supernatural agility. They can surpass the limit of what a professional athlete can do with ease and are noticeably supernatural when pushing themselves able to pull feats that a normal person couldn't even imagine.
+ Exoskeleton Armor: This character has armor over their arms, and the lower have of their body that gives resistance to cutting damage but not crushing damage.
- Large Abdomen: This characters large, lower abdomen makes most human buildings and places very difficult to fit through. Stairwells and elevators are nearly impossible without lots of wiggling. Bulky and big, they can't fit in the small places humans can.
- Bleed Out: This characters exoskeleton parts, when crushed or torn do not easily clot leaving a major wound to become a critical one. If they don't find a way to cauterize the wound or stop the bleeding with something more then a mere bandage, they're likely to die.
- No Cold Resistance: This character has no cold resistance. Snow is a death sentence. When exposed to the cold their movement is halved and more than a half hour in the cold is enough to put them on death's door.
- Carnivorous: This character is carnivorous, requiring meat on the daily to sustain themselves. Furthermore, they struggle with sugar-based products as their bodies are not accustomed to handling how sugar is processed.
Template Two: Poisonous Arachnid

A simple poisonous half human and half arachnid.

Template Three: Jorōgumo

A spider-yokai with musical ability and a craving for human flesh.

Cost: 2
- Aquatic Pull: This character is inclined to live and spend most of their time around fresh water. Things like waterfalls, lakes, streams, or rivers are the only things that seem to relax them. The sea can do in a pinch, but it doesn't keep them satiated for long. When not around water they feel distinctly wrong, and their abilities are hindered because of it. Specifically, this character's singing is not as clear or captivatingly filled with emotion when they aren't at a source of water.
+ Supernatural Beauty: This character is attractive as they come. For most, this falls under sexual attraction, but even those not attracted to this character's gender or sex will find themselves in awe of this characters beauty. It's hard to look away, like looking at a moving piece of art.
- Imperfect Human Disguise: While this character has a human shape, their real form will be shown in their reflection.
- Flesh Eater: This character must consume the meat of sapient beings to survive. In any other place you would merely say they had a craving for human flesh, but truthfully they can sustain themselves on any sapient creature with at least a human level of intelligence. When around people who are bleeding or otherwise noticeably wounded, their craving and predatory instincts are at an all-time high.
+ Claws/Teeth: This character has sharp, knife-like claws and teeth meant for tearing skin, a sign of their diet.
+ Web Creation: This character can create webs strong enough to hold their weight. They can only produce as much web in mass as twice the size of their body daily. Their web is adhesive enough to make an average (human) grown man struggle. Through their web, they can sense vibration when holding onto it.
+ Supernatural Singing: This character has a supernaturally beautiful singing voice that they use to lure people toward them. This isn't exactly mind control, but more similar to an aura of charm. People are more inclined to be attracted to their location or move toward them when this character is singing, and their victim can hear it.
+ Poison Immunity: This character is immune to all types of natural and unnatural attempts at poisoning them. They won't even notice someone has tried unless the action was obvious.

Demon

Full custom, no template required, write what you want!

Template One: Hellion Demon

A Demon based on one of the seven sins.

Cost: 0
+ Prehensile Tail: This character has a prehensile tail with enough flexibility and control to be used as another hand. It is strong enough to pick up things like cups and other lightweight objects. It helps mildly with agility, but this isn't noteworthy enough that most would notice it.
+/- Sin Embodiment: This character is the child of one of the sins. It is both a weakness and a power that they embody this sin. When around people who are committing their sin, their other powers are doubled in strength, but around those committing the virtue opposite their sin, their powers are halved. They are unable to act on the virtue that is opposite their sin at all.
- Holy Places/Symbols: This character is hurt by holy places and symbols. These don't have to be only belonging to Catholic and Christian religions. Anyone who has faith and carries with them a symbol is dangerous to this character. Holy symbols burn them and holy places half this characters powers and make them feel nauseous.
- Holy Weaponry: The use of holy weapons on this character is particularly useful. If this character isn't careful, a death by holy weaponry stops them from returning to their Hell, killing them permanently. The holy weaponry has to be of their respective opposing religion, however.
+ Immortality: This character is immortal, and thus when they die, they return to their respective section of Hell and must wait three days before their body heals them and they can return to Earth. They can die in any fashion a human can.

Template Two: Goetic Demon

A simple Goetic Demon template.

Cost: 1
+ Contract Bestowal: This character can forge contracts with others. The arrangements they create must be equally beneficial to both parties — at least in writing. This character can be as sneaky as they please to get a better deal out of their contract but they may never break their word.
- Sigil: This character, being a Goetic Demon, has their own sigil with their Demon name etched into it. This sigil is the main way to summon them, and if someone is to get their true name, they are inclined to have a bargain with that person in the person's favor.
+ Immortality: This character is immortal, and thus when they die, they return to their respective section of Hell and must wait three days before their body heals them and they can return to Earth. Their body doesn't work like a normal person. This character's body falls apart like clay, instead.
+ Pain Suppression: This character has a reduced sense of pain. Most things that would be excruciating to a human are a dull sense to them. Because of this, they can handle nearly any type of physical trauma without being put down. While their body may still fall apart normally, they are not put out by pain alone.

Template Three: Hellhound

A basic Hellhound from the seven sins Hell.

Cost: 0
+ Enhanced Smell: This character is capable of smelling well enough to be an excellent tracker. They can smell blood a mile off and discern people's different scents. If they play close enough attention, they can even smell people's emotions if they're heavy enough.
+ Enhanced Bite: This character has a specifically harsh bite. They can shatter bone with their jaw and tear through things like wood or plastic without a problem. They still can't bite through metal, but in a fight, their teeth and jaw are a death sentence for those who might find themselves unlucky enough to be near.
- No Cold Resistance: This character has no cold resistance. Snow is a death sentence. When exposed to the cold their movement is halved and more than a half hour in the cold is enough to put them on death's door.
- Holy Places/Symbols: This character is hurt by holy places and symbols. These don't have to be only belonging to Catholic and Christian religions. Anyone who has faith and carries with them a symbol is dangerous to this character. Holy symbols burn them and holy places half this characters powers and make them feel nauseous.
+ Regenerative Healing: This character regenerations from attacks. They take up to a week to reform torn off limbs, small cuts heal instantaneously, and major wounds heal within an hour so long as they aren't running around and straining themselves. This character can heal from nearly anything so long as they stop and give themselves time to actually close the wound rather than straining their body.

- Opposite Element: Just as this character is immune to their own element, they are weak against the element opposite their own. When struck by it, it deals twice the amount of normal damage attacks could. Weapons coated in this element also pierce through their defenses two times easier. The opposite element must be defined in the application and make some amount of sense.
- Large Full Form: Most full-grown dragons are too large to fit into normal rooms or homes. Due to this, in this form, they are limited to large, open spaces and areas so they can move freely around, or their speed, agility, and flexibility suffer.
++ Supernatural Condition: This character has a great sense of smell along with durability and strength that greatly surpasses that of what a human could ever hope to achieve. In their human forms, they can punch through brick walls or take a steel beam to the body without being put out.

= Human Shape: This character has a human shape that they can shapeshift into at will.
++ Supernatural Condition: This character has a great sense of smell along with durability and strength that greatly surpasses that of what a human could ever hope to achieve.

= Human Shape: This character has a human shape that they can shapeshift into at will.
+ Supernatural Intelligence: This character has intelligence superior to that of mere mortals. They can comprehend languages and logical studies ten times better and quicker than that of a human. They learn at three times the rate as well.
+ Enhanced Condition: This character has enhanced agility and speed. Because of their lithe body in dragon form, they move more like a snake, able to twist and coil themselves around things and away from threats.

- Bridle: Taking a Kelpie's bridle gives you control over this Character. However, to have full control over this character, you must manage to put the bridle on them, and they will be forced to be your servant.
= Human Glamour: This character has a strong form of fae glamour. Illusion magic that affects more than just sight, but touch as well. This allows them to take on a human shape.
= Decelerated Aging: This character lives ten times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate as a human.
- Unable to Lie: This character cannot lie. While they don't always have to be honest, telling an outright lie will strip the magic they have and leave them powerless.

If they are to give false information because they were misinformed, this is not considered a lie. This character must knowingly lie for their power to be stripped. Half truths are not considered lies. Having been in a society where lying was not common, this character has a hard time spotting even a bad lie and they might miss out on sarcasm.
- Iron Weakness: Like most of the Fae, this character is weak to Iron. Touching cold iron feels like a severe burning sensation and being around iron (like being locked in a cage of iron) is just constant, throbbing pain. It's enough pain that they would be on the floor, squirming.
+ Supernatural Allure: There is just something alluring about this character. It's not so much an attraction as a natural charisma surrounding the things they say and do. Once they've been noticed, it's hard not to notice them again and again and again.
- Flesh Eater: This character must consume humanoid meat. In any other place you would merely say they had a craving for human flesh, but truthfully they can sustain themselves on any sentient creature with at least a human level of intelligence. When around people who are bleeding or otherwise noticeably wounded, their craving and predatory instincts are at an all-time high.
+/- Equid Physiology: This character is in possession of basic horse physiology when transformed into their Kelpie form. The only exception being that they run three times as fast as a normal horse. This character also looks less and less like a real horse the closer you get to them, revealing their monstrous form when you look at their reflection in the water.

Template Two: Spriggan

A Fae creature made of plants and roots that is located in the forest. Said to be protectors of nature, but also generally of the Unseelie court with a deep distaste for humanity.

= Decelerated Aging: This character lives ten times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate as a human.
+ Disease Immunity: This character is immune to natural diseases from the common cold to STDs.
+ Contaminant Immunity: This character is immune to all natural toxins and poisons in the world. This does not extend to human-made or personally created contaminants.
+/- Photosynthesis: This character doesn't breathe as normal people do. Instead, they breathe through their skin with the use of light. Meaning they cannot drown or be choked, but if they are kept from a source of direct sunlight, they die at the same rate a human does. Night does not count as they are still able to breathe using the light of the moon.
- Fae Debts: This character is bound by the debts they make. This includes thanking people. They are bound by a specific debt until it has been paid. Magic makes them agree to a request when they are bound, so long as the request is equal to the debt they owe.

A single favor does not necessarily pay off a single debt. If you were to save their life, they are bound by magic to repay such a favor. Depending on what you do for that fae it can be repaid in one to one hundred favors.
- Unable to Lie: This character cannot lie. While they don't always have to be honest, telling an outright lie will strip the magic they have and leave them powerless.

If they are to give false information because they were misinformed, this is not considered a lie. This character must knowingly lie for their power to be stripped. Half truths are not considered lies. Having been in a society where lying was not common, this character has a hard time spotting even a bad lie and they might miss out on sarcasm.
- Pollution Weakness: This character is weak to pollution and smoke and lose consciousness in three minutes when swamped with either.
+ Nature Empowerment: When in places of nature, far from civilization, this characters other abilities are strengthed by half their amount.

Cost: 0
= Decelerated Aging: This character lives ten times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate as a human.
- Iron Weakness: Like most of the Fae, this character is weak to Iron. Touching cold iron feels like a severe burning sensation and being around iron (like being locked in a cage of iron) is just constant, throbbing pain. It's enough pain that they would be on the floor, squirming.
+ Supernatural Durability: This character can take inhuman amounts of damage before breaking down. They can be hit with a bus and (while wounded) they aren't on death's door. During their dying moments, they are given a bigger boost of adrenaline that allows them one supernatural feat before death takes them.
+ Supernatual Strength: Capable of lifting two tons without breaking a sweat.
- Unable to Lie: This character cannot lie. While they don't always have to be honest, telling an outright lie will strip the magic they have and leave them powerless.

If they are to give false information because they were misinformed, this is not considered a lie. This character must knowingly lie for their power to be stripped. Half truths are not considered lies. Having been in a society where lying was not common, this character has a hard time spotting even a bad lie and they might miss out on sarcasm.
+ Hallucinations: This character can create hallucinations focused on one person. They cannot actually cause harm to people with these illusions, but the magic makes the hallucination feel, sound, smell, and seem real to anyone who has been trapped in it. This magic is weakest to those with a good nose or strong willpower.
+/- Bargains: This character, rather than having debts, seeks out bargains with other people. This is a gamble whether this character of their victim will come out on top. The Fae cannot offer something they can not truly procure or give to their victim. The goal is to screw the other people over.

Template Zero: Custom Creation

+ Supernatural Beauty: This character is attractive as they come. For most, this falls under sexual attraction, but even those not attracted to this character's gender or sex will find themselves in awe of this characters beauty. It's hard to look away, like looking at a moving piece of art.

+ Siren Song: When this character sings "The Siren's Song" no one who is listening can stop themselves from getting closer in a complete trance. This trance will be broken the moment any harm is brought to the victim.
- Dehydration: Being of the sea, this character is more prone to dehydration than most people. During hot times or near warm sources like fire, their skin will flake, and they become quickly uncomfortable. They do poorly in hot, dry climates.
- Flesh Eater: This character must consume humanoid meat. In any other place you would merely say they had a craving for human flesh, but truthfully they can sustain themselves on any sentient creature with at least a human level of intelligence. When around people who are bleeding or otherwise noticeably wounded, their craving and predatory instincts are at an all-time high.

Template Two: Finfolk

A template for the Finfolk. Sorcerers from Orkney Island who were said to be made from Selkie. The evil version of the Selkie and sometimes considered members of the Fae Unseelie courts.

Cost: 0
+ Aquatic Adaption: This character can adapt to any large body of water. They are capable of breathing underwater and diving deep into the sea. They can handle the cold and pressure that goes with living under the sea.
= Shapeshifting: This character can shift between their land form (while on land) and their water form (when in a body of water).
- Dehydration: Being of the sea, this character is more prone to dehydration than most people. During hot times or near warm sources like fire, their skin will flake, and they become quickly uncomfortable. They do poorly in hot, dry climates.
+ Magnetism: Finfolk are renowned for an ethereal magnetism, and this character is no different. There's just something about them that's bright, adorable, and appealing. Once someone notices them, it's hard to stop.
- Silver: The Finfolk are both weakened and repelled by silver. It is said that one of the best ways to stop a possible kidnapping from a Finfolk is to toss silver coins away from yourself as you walk.
= Decelerated Aging: This character lives three times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate as a human.
+ Aquatic Senses: This character's abilities in their aquatic form are best compared to a shark. They are capable of swimming at an incredible pace, rivaling the likes of sharks at around thirty-five miles per hour in short bursts. They are also in possession of electroreception to help them see underwater and hunt prey.
- Finfolk Curse: Finfolk are known for taking mortal spouses, generally through kidnapping. If this character marries a merfolk, they lose their power, the beauty, and their legs. With that in mind, any future dating will have to be done with someone who isn't any type of merfolk, or they will lose her abilities.

A person (usually a woman) who wears a seal skin to transform into a seal and swim in the ocean. if their skin is stolen, the person who stole it owns them and is said to be their spouse.

Cost: 0

= Shapeshifting: This character can shift between their seal form and their human form with the use of their seal skin.
+ Speed Swimming: While in the water wearing their seal skin, this character's swimming speed is significantly increased, allowing them to torpedo through the water at such a pace that they become a blur. Of course, this makes turning complicated but is very useful for traversing across the sea.
- Sea Bound: This character must have access to the sea, or they will become notably depressed. This is more than an emotional decay as it will significantly affect their physical health as well. They will grow increasingly weak and sick as they're kept from the sea. Within a month with no contact with the sea, they will be in critical condition.
- Selkie Skin: This character's seal skin is their greatest weakness. They are not able to keep it with them at all times, and if found by someone, this character will be under the person's power and generally speaking, considered to be their spouse. They cannot disobey the holder's orders.

If burned, this character becomes human, though most people would assume this would kill this character. That isn't entirely wrong, as part of this character (specifically half of them) is killed.

When their seal skin is burned, this character feels as if they are burning and is in excruciating pain as their selkie powers are stripped from them. However, doing this will also mean they no longer need to obey anyone's orders, as the weakness of their seal skin is gone, too.

Nightmare
Any creature made of pure darkness or shadow or any creature born from a nightmare realm. This includes creatures like raven mockers, shadowmen, bogeymen, and enenra. This uses the "species: nightmare" tag.

Template Zero: Custom Creation

Full custom, no template required, write what you want!

Template One: Bogeymen

A basic bogeyman template. These are creatures who often feed on fear and give people nightmares, specifically small children.

Cost: 0
- Nocturnal: This character is most energetic at night. No matter how rested they are, this character is always sluggish and out of it throughout the day. They're unfocused, and it's all too easy to doze off. At night, no matter how tired they feel, they can't sleep. There's no way around it; they're a creature of darkness and the night.
- Light Magic: Being made of darkness means, light-based magic is downright deadly to this character. It burns away their skin and shadow-based attacks and forces them to retreat.
= Human Shape: This character has a human shape that they can shapeshift into at will.
= Decelerated Aging: This character lives ten times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate.
= Fear Consumption: This character feeds off fear rather than food. While they can consume food, it doesn't do anything for them other than taste good. They don't lack a sense of taste, but it is lessened. Note, they don't eat people, only absorbs the essence of their fear, which does require them to hunt.

Small bits of fear, like jump scares or anxiety, is like a snack to them, but it will never fill them. They need intense fear, the fear of losing one's life or the life of someone they love.

Without consuming fear, they starve the same as a human wound. They do not require food or water.
+ Phobia Inducement: This characters natural form induces fear to those who look upon them. They become a person's deepest fears personified, even if those fears aren't physical. This works on anyone who can see or hear them, but will not work while this character is in their human form.
+ Nightmare Traveling: This character can travel through the nightmare realm, leaving their physical body behind and traveling through people's dreams to turn them into nightmares. This is aids in their feeding process.

When in this state, this character's body is left behind in an unconscious state, leaving them vulnerable to attack if in the open.

This character cannot control dreams, but they can influence them by introducing a person's phobias into dreams to make them turn into nightmares. This affects their victims in a lack of rest. When their victim awakens, they will feel as if they didn't sleep at all, at the very worst.

Template Two: Shadow Person

A basic shadow person template. Shadow people are patches of shadow regarded as sentient that move around in the night.

Cost: 1
+ Darkness Adaptation: This character is more accustomed to the dark than they are the light. They have perfect night vision and feel entirely at home in the night.
+ Shadow Camouflage: This power can work in one of two ways. Either this character can remain still and become one with the shadows, or they can jump between shadows.

For the first method, this character must stay still, moving at all breaks stealth and makes them visible.They aren't entirely invisible, either, rather they are very easily overlooked. The area they're hidden in is just a tad darker than the surrounding shadows.

For the second method, this character can jump between shadows as far as three yards, but there can be no light separating one shadow from the next, and they must be looking to the spot they wish to teleport as well as be touching some form of shadow already.
= Decelerated Aging: This character lives ten times longer than a human, though they physically and mentally mature at the same rate.
- Light Magic: Being made of shadow means, light-based magic is downright deadly to this character. It burns away their shadow and shadow-based attacks and forces them to retreat.
+ Shadow Control: This character cannot create shadow, but they can use the present shadow in the area to stretch/expand it in whichever direction they like, to snuff out lights and the like. Think of this ability working like a rubber band, the more shadow in a given area the farther this character is capable of shifting the shade. To quantify shadow in any particular area is as simple as detecting the sources of light and determining how bright they are.

Keeping with the rubber band analogy, this character has to stay focused on the shadow they are manipulating, or it will return to its original location and the farther they stretch the shadow, the more concentration they must use. This character must also be careful that they're moving the shadows as naturally as they can. Otherwise, people would be able to tell something wasn't right. For instance, this character could create a bridge of shadow between two street lights at night, but that would look unnatural.

Shadow is naturally attracted to this character's presence. When they're around, the shadows feel almost alive as if they were reaching out for something. The air is different, just a smidge colder where the darkness lies. This doesn't do anything for this character, but it's a subtle tell for when they're around.

Template Three: Raven Mocker

A basic raven mocker template. Raven mockers are generally evil entities that consume the souls of dying people to fuel their own life force.

Cost:1
+ See-Me-Not: While feasting or flying this character is easily overlooked. They are not invisible, and if someone is looking for them or knows they're in the area, this power has no effect on that person. They cannot choose whether this power is active or not.
= Human Shape: This character has a human shape that they can shapeshift into at will.
+ Flight: Because of their wings, this character can take flight for short periods of time. They have an easier time gliding than they do actually flying, which can put quite a strain on their body due to their size.
+ Soul Bandit: As a Raven Mocker, this character possesses the ability to steal and consume the soul of a dying or recently (body still warm recent) dead person. Eating someone's soul adds to their lifespan by however long the dying person had left to live naturally. If murdered, for instance, they could have naturally lived however many years, but if dying from sickness or other natural causes, it will only add minutes to this character lifetime.

This power doesn't work on Immortals. While this character could still eat a dying immortal's soul, it would add no years to their life.

This is this character's form of substance. While they are capable of eating other food, it doesn't satiate their hunger. Consuming souls are as addictive as smoking.

A basic template for a full reaper whether born or made.

Cost: 2
- Discord: Torn between hatred and anger for humanity and a deep love for humanity, this character is continuously teetering between the two. They struggle to know which side they should fall to at any given moment. It's all too easy to break the divine rules they know they're bound to.
= Death Scent: This character always smells a little like death. Like the scent of a morgue or graveyard.
+ Unlife: Neither living nor dead, this character is stuck in the middle. They cannot die, and they do not resurrect. They no longer age and no longer need to eat, sleep, breathe, or drink. Due to this, they do not drown. When killed in other ways, they will be put into an unconscious/death like state until their body slowly repairs itself. They heal at three times the rate a normal human does.
+ Life Vision: Can see how long someone has to live. Only has a very vague sense of what it might be that kills them. Sees someone's remaining time as a countdown above their head.
+ Intuitive Killing: This character knows how to kill anything with a soul. But just because they know the means of killing something does not mean they have the skills required to do so. They only get the most effective method of killing whatever it is they're looking at.
+ Limbo Travel: This character can travel to and from limbo.
+ "Scythe:" This character has some type of "scythe." A Reaper's scythe is classified as an object with which they are bonded to. This item can touch or interact with normally intangible beings and wound creatures that don't become wounded through physical attacks alone. It cannot attack or pierce those not going against the order of life.

+ Mediumship: This character can see and communicate with spirits, even when others are unable to see them. They cannot repel them, or send them away. They do not possess the ability to command ghosts in any way, but they can touch them as if they were physical beings even when others cannot.
= "Scythe:" This character has some type of "scythe." A Reaper's scythe is classified as an object with which they are bonded to.
